Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

This thread is making me think that this silhouette schtick is a way to help them actually create the pokemon.

They release rough ideas, fans keep making interpretations, and they take the best one. No worries about lawsuits, the fan who made it will just claim "OMG I GOT IT RIGHT" and become a pokemon fandom celebrity!!!

:lol:

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

I could see the middle one being a donkey based on the long ears and also based on this fake of it.

Of course I'd still prefer it to be a piglett just because i like the idea of the final form being a boar with flaming tusks.

As amusing as that thought is, I find it HIGHLY unlikely that they would already have beta footage of sprites walking around the cities and not even have the starters planned.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

Hell yes. It strikes me more as a final Evo of a starter actually, though obviously it would need to be scaled up.

With all these badass animals, it makes me wonder how in the hell the human race was able to survive for so long. I guess we're a persistent bunch. :lol:

My guesses for the final EVOS:

For the Grass: Our little prehistoric friend.

Highest Stat: Speed

Ability: Overgrow

Type: Grass/Flying, Grass/Steel, Grass

For Fire: a Jack Rabbit or Boar.

Highest Stat: Attack/Defense

Ability: Blaze

Type: Fire/Rock, Fire/Steel, or Fire/Ground

For Water: a Polar Bear.

Highest Stat: Sp. Attack/Sp. Defense

Ability Torrent

Type: Water/Ice, Water/Steel, Water/Fighting, or Water

If we do get a pig Fire starter then I don't think the chances of it being a pure Fire-type are likely. (hint: Piloswine)

Oh, ok. Shoot down the joke so quickly, huh?

What a meanie! :bheart:

Anyhow, I'm waiting to pass judgment until I see full images, but I dunno... these silhouettes just don't sit well with me.

Prospect of a flaming pig is kinda neat, though.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

Dude, no need to double post, especially something irrelevant, just edit. It's late, people go to bed. It's probably better to get real sleep and be pleasantly surprised when you wake up rather than get no sleep just to be awake for the reveal.

I really hope none of these final evolutions are monotype. That was really boring and annoying about GS. Compared to a lot of other starters, they didn't really change that much as they evolved. Just kinda got bigger. Then again a lot of starters do that.

Re: Gen V Starter Discussion

I agree. Although I do like the Gold and Silver starters, they basically got bigger, changed somewhat, and their stats were improved. No cool things happened.

I'd like to see all dual types, or at least two of the three.

Then I delete the damn thing, GAWD people here are sticklers. I would actually prefer mono types because we haven't had any since Gen. II, and I can't think of any other creative type combinations that would make any sense.

Don't get all pissy about it. Since when did any major forum allow double posting and think of it as something to be accepted? It's not hard to edit your post.

Well, I'm not pissed I'm just a little frustrated that I got in trouble over a little question... It wasn't like I was spamming the board with the same post or links to porn or something... Besides, it's gone now let's move on.

I would like to hear other people's theories on how you get the starter. Do we get them from the Professor's Lab, from a Briefcase (redundant though :sweat:), or something new?

You didn't get in trouble. Just a member letting you know you didn't need to post twice. He wasn't riding your ass or anything.

I think it'd be neat if the three different starters were being trapped by different gangs of wild Pokemon, and you chose which one to 'rescue', essentially. They would be in a different spot, and you had to walk to the respective one. Then, as you go to help them, you are to battle off one of the wild ones that is trapping them. I dunno. Something random.

Haha. You have the right to tell us that, New Zealander. :3

That's probably a good call. I also like the fact that I go away for... six hours, roughly, and this thread grows by 30 pages.


Also, just for Sketch, WHERE ARE THE SCANS DERP? Oh well. So much for the special birthday treat.

4-5 more hours if it's going to be tonight. I've been checking 2ch constantly. Someone get me coffee. You all just get some rest and I'll tell you the minute they're up.

Thanks WPM. Knew we could count on you.

I won't be up then though. I'll be sleeping through it... again.

Oh well. Enjoy the initial excitement from seeing the starters.

I, Silver, never get tired.

To think about it though. i think it would change things up (or make it fairly annoying) if the professor of GenV came to your house asking for help cause a wild Zorua jacked the suitcase. when he pursues it, the suit case accidentally opens and the 3 poke-balls go everywhere. Something along those lines.
