Thread: Starter Discussion and Speculation

Fire , so cuuuute. Followed by blue ( that frog looks like it has the potential to look badass in its 3rd evolution!). Grass one just looks strange to me. Then again i thought (and still thought that) about Oshawatt.

Chespin is adorable. I want.

Chespin all the way. A mammalian grass starter is interesting. can't wait to see its evolutions.

You're joking, right? Fennekin looks NOTHING like Vulpix, and it won't even evolve the same way (starters have never evolved using stones). Not to mention it's based of of a completely different species of fox. In fact, Vulpix isn't actually based on a real fox at all. Both it and Ninetales are based on the Kitsune, a mythical multi-tailed fox. Fennekin is a fennec fox, which look pretty different from other foxes.

Reporting in.

I could see a Water/Dark line. He's got a knapsack and a mustache, so I could see him being a thief. He also gives me a chimney sweep vibe.

I cannot choose. I want to be loyal to the grass type and Chespin is a really cute rodent, but... after a long time I like also the fire type.

Agreed but Froakie is slowly growing on me

They all look pretty awesome, but Fennekin wins for me.

I was semi-joking, Fennekin is the one I like the most atm. I was just pointing out that both Fennekin and Vulpix are Fire-type foxes.


I hope Fennekin gains another type upon evolving that is not fighting.

Fire Fox is easily my favorite, so classy. Just stay on four legs when you evolve and don't become a fighter and its all good.

Fenniken is very cute, I love it the best, it's probably my favorite Fire starter now. Froakie is also really cute I might have a hard time choosing, though it may change when we see Evolutions.

Ah, my bad then. And yeah, I want it to gain a type that isn't fighting and stay on four legs as well.

I SWEAR IF FENNEKEN (however you spell it, i'm getting used to it here...) IS FIRE/FIGHTING I WILL...

...too violent, I don't want to explain the gory details.

I think it's obvious who I consider to be the best!

Grass starter as always. The fire starter looks cool. Much better than Tepig. I personally think Froakie is a downgrade from Oshawott though...
