Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

People really need to stop acting like early leaks are a right. They're a luxury. There never was nor will there ever be a countdown to when it would actually be leaked. Let these things happen, and the moment they do everyone will be notified simply because that is how the internet works.

The last like 50 posts of this thread have been entirely about nothing, and I'm at the point where I feel like it would do this thread a big help if it were locked. It's people overly anticipating things, and frankly it gets annoying. There's going to be a like 12 hour gap again between when things would likely be leaked due to Japan's timezone, and nothing good would come of this thread being opened during that time in the least.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

^ Uhh, when there's been a consistent pattern for the past two years or so, it's pretty much for sure that there's going to be a leak again.

Though maybe now the guy who does it got busted. :p

If its been the same guy for 2 years yeah, but I doubt its just 1 guy.

I'm aware the leaks happen, trust me I've been around a while. But it's a matter that people think they have an entitlement to it on the 10th, not as early as the 10th, but somehow it seems like a lot of people got the idea in their head that they were promised leaks and must now complain about the lack thereof. It's the same with manga leaks, only this isn't as bad just because those are every week.

And yeah, it's highly doubtful that it's one guy, it's just whoever can manage to get their hands on the magazine before the official release day.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

We don't have to lock this thread. Just rename it "Fake starters and off-topic discussions".
Yeah cause that's really what the 5th gen needs, off topic discussions.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

But the problem is that this is completely off topic, and we should all be banned if this were to get a lock.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

I don't think locking the thread would make a whole lot of difference. People would just comment about the lack of leaks while making posts in other threads. Besides, just because the main topic lately has been the lack of a leak yet doesn't mean there isn't still legitimate discussions to be had while waiting on the leak.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

Nope, locking until they show up. If they don't appear by the time I go to sleep tonight I will unlock this.

EDIT: I am unlocking this now. I DO NOT want to see the kind of spammy comments that happened yesterday. If the scans don't show up over night I will lock this again.

I'd be really disappointed if we got a Water/Ice.
I'm also not a huge fan of pure fire types.
Also Grass/Flying just screams to be killed by Ice.
:(

Seriously. Water/Ice= Dewgong. lol.

Imagine they got all crazy with it and made a Fire/Water type? That'd be nuts.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

Good catch, PokemonChampionLeo. I've not noticed that 'pattern' until you just pointed it out.

The anticipation sure is building. From what I've heard, CoroCoro leaks have never went past the 12th.

The more time passes, the more I'm unsure about my predictions on the starters. They really could be anything. Each silhouette has the possibility of being one of the three types.

By far, from what I've seen and heard, my favorite ideas for each silhouette are a water swan, grass rabbit, and fire red panda/bear cub. Though Cabbage Duck does seem to tickle my fancy.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

Is there really anyone who dislikes the Cabbage Duck?

Anyway, I really think the left one could be Fire. I thought it was fire the moment I saw it. That thing on it's tail doesn't have to be fire. It could just be a REALLY, REALLY awesome tail.

I had never thought of this, and at first it really does sound like a plausible pattern. However, at the same time I can't help but think that perhaps it's most likely a coincidence. Either way, nice catch.

Though usually when we have 2 Dual types and 1 pure, the pure one is usually the least used. I (personally) don't know anyone who took Sceptile over Blaziken or Swampert.

ANYWAY

I realised that I haven't actually voiced my thoughts on what the silhouettes could be yet, so here you go.

The one on the left could go either way for me. It either has a large, swooping head or it's a bird with a leaf/fin sort of crest.

The middle one, unfortunately, does look a lot like a piglet. I hope that this isn't the case, since in my opinion a rabbit would be much better. Cute sells with Pokemon.

OH GOD THAT ONE ON THE RIGHT. It could be anything. I'm saying Panda, just because I don't want to see another platypus/otter/beaver.

You hate the Cabbage Duck?

Oh, and how do you know it's a leaf? Can you see the future?

I think the right one is the water type, although it could make for an adorable Grass panda.
