[Sword & Shield] Who's Your Starter?

[~Z~]

Team Scorbunny here, rabbit based Pokémon have always been my weakness. I mean, look at those cute ears

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

My starter would depend on which one better suits the female trainer because I want to go with the canon starter.

 

[Clawford]

It's currently a tie between Grookey and Sobble.

 

[LuminescentUmbreon]

I'm going with Scorbunny. It's been a while since I've chosen a fire type as my starter.

 

[tokyodrift]

#teamsobble all the way, i don't even think i care what the evolutions look like at this point.

I am #grookeygang since the very first trailer, but I admit I probably won't choose Grookey in the game haha unless it evolves into something very useful nongrass but even then I doubt it. I never much liked using grass types, aside from Bulbasaur.

I will probably choose one of the less cool starters instead, depending on their evos and typings ;)

 

[PokeNinjaYT]

I CANT PICK HONESTLY

Froakie will beat you

#SobbleSquad for Sword and #GrookeyGang for Shield

It's currently a tie between Grookey and Sobble.

But grass type moves are 4x effective against you

 

[Solez]

Grookey for me. I like Grass starters (Bulbasaur, Turtwig, Snivy). But Scorbunny would be second in line...

 

[MurkyCrow]

I fell in love with Scorbunny as soon as it showed up on screen. But Sobble's really starting to grow on me

 

[Super Pokemon]

Sobble does look like he has a chance to become a dragon type; he is somewhat intriguing.

 

[Cid]

Right now it's Scorbunny, but their evolutions can be dealbreakers and game changers. While I do like Sobble and Grookey, Scorbunny is the inspiration for my rabbit's name in SDV.

 

[MonadoXY7]

I can go with Scorbunny but if evolutions for the starters show up, i might switch to Grookey because he looks OK.

 

[Azuviin]

Evolutions will seal my choice, but atm Scorbunny is my favourite of the three!

 

[User Anon 1848]

I always wait for the final evolution designs to be revealed before choosing my starter these days. Sobble has my attention right now though.

 

[Pilgrimage]

Gonna have to go with Sobble on this one. It's too relatable ;-;

 

[Wondrous Wish]

I am picking Grookey. I think he is cute.

From a design standpoint, Scorbunny is the best by far. The white body with red and yellow highlights is very unique.
Sobble's design is really uninteresting. Aside from it's head sail, the only other thing it has is sadness. I can understand why certain people might like that, but I hate it when a pokemon's gimmick is an emotion. So Sobble is sad? Is every Sobble sad? Are they all sad for different reasons? Does each Sobble express it's sadness the same way? Are they all sad in the same amount? I like my pokemon to have personality, but not the same personality forced onto every member of it's species.
Grookey's design is pretty bad. I hate it when Gamefreak takes an animal, makes it a different color, and calls it a pokemon. Need a fire type? Take a fox, paint it red, and there you have Vulpix. You see this a lot in fangames. Need a grass starter? Take a cat, paint it green, and there you have Orchynx. Grookey is just a green monkey. The only grassy thing about is that the hair at the tip of it's head is shaped like leaves. Grookey is the laziest design for a starter since gen 1. All that said, I can't help but fall for it. With the little fangs, the orange accents, the stick in the hair, Grookey is easily my favorite.

I thought you were going to end up hating on Grookey here but you sure turned around haha.

#GrookeyGang!

The only generations I didn't (and still haven't used) the Fire starter for my first run were Gen's 5 and 6. I don't like Delphox and was going to use Tepig but I wanted a Lucario so I chose to use Oshawott twice, which sucked because I really don't like the Gen 5 starters. (I do like the Gen 5 games though)

 

[Yue Han]

Since last night's Direct made a certain leak seem highly reliable now I might have to switch to team Sobble from Scorbunny
