I think the only thing we can ever name her is Daisy (Lady) Duke.

SHIT. The time has finally come. They are basing a pokemon game in America based on our stereotypes.
SHIT.

Also: that "snake" has legs.
And I can't decide who I'll be! I need to see more evolutions.

For a moment I thought the snowman was a piplup trace over.

That pig will be mine. I will name it Hildesvini.

I always like the starters in this order in terms of design:
Water - awesome! (ok, maybe squirtle is a bit uninspired, but blastoise makes up for it)
Grass - Cool!
Fire - Somewhere between

and

(Charmander is the exception. Charmander is awesome.)

Did you really just say that retarded otter clown is more awesome than squirtle?

Catloaf · « **Reply #867 on:** May 12, 2010, 03:55:36 PM »

No, I just said that squirtle was a bit uninspired. I never said he wasn't cool. Just bland.
The Snowball-headed otter is more visually interesting, but depending on is that's a yellow area or a bulbous nose-thing, slightly to far less overall cool.

PS. I'm quire curious on what they evolve into.

A flaming warthog would be awesome.

I'm gonna take a wild stab and say water/ice for beaver snowman, fire/ground for the hellboar, and grass/...flying? for the snake thing.

my money is on water/ice fire/normal grass/ground.

Kayma · « **Reply #872 on:** May 12, 2010, 08:13:35 PM »

Fire/Normal? That'd be, uh... hm.

JDigital · « **Reply #873 on:** May 12, 2010, 09:58:00 PM »

All half-normals so far are Normal/Flying, except HM slave Bibarel (Normal/Water) and Girafarig (Normal/Psychic).

Supposing each is still weak to one other's type, Water/Ice is a conundrum because it beats both Fire and Grass, while still being weak to Grass. A Grass/Ground would be weak to Fire and doubly weak to Ice. Fire/Ground would be doubly weak to Water, and starters don't usually have double-weaknesses to each other.

I want to guess Grass/Psychic for the grass snake, but that would be weak to both Fire and Ice, and have seven weaknesses and six resistances.

McDohl · « **Reply #874 on:** May 13, 2010, 04:21:51 AM »

Pokemon abilities or moves that shift around weaknesses and such might be the way to go, unless they decide to add a new type or two in this edition. Fire has long been given the short end of the stick, and it needs something to be more competitive.

Here's a move idea.

Oil Bomb. Low or no-damage Fire attack that weakens a target's Water-type moves and makes water-type pokemon either neutrally susceptible to fire or super-effective. Or, not even that, Oil Bomb guarantees a Burn status effect on the next fire-type attack.

patito · « **Reply #875 on:** May 13, 2010, 04:28:55 AM »

Sandstorm kind of did that for rock types in 4th gen, by effectively doubling their defense, I imagine adding that effect to sunny day for fire types would be quite easy.

McDohl · « **Reply #876 on:** May 13, 2010, 04:30:36 AM »

Sandstorm buffs Rock attacks? I didn't know.

I'm sure they'll start as pure water/fire/grass, but end up double-typed through evolution like every starter since 3rd gen.

What I really would have liked to see was different type setup of starters that still followed the rock/scissor/paper standard, though fighting/flying/rock is the only one I can think of that follows it to the letter.
