Thread: Starter Discussion and Speculation

Haha, just as I was completing the Pokedex on BW2 and EV training my competitive team... Game Freak slaps me with Gen 6 going in a complete other direction.
These new starters were surprising at first, mainly because of the obvious style upgrade. Atleast the new shapes embrace the 3D look.

I'm going with the Fire Starter for the first time. I absolutely love Fennecs, and I can't believe they made a starter out of it.

The designs, like I said, surprised me. However, after closer inspection, they are still as cool as always. They took a massive Gen 4 style turn.

Fennekin at the moment but if it evolves into a Fire/Fighting type Pokémon my decision may change.

There's already fan art for Fennekin flying around:

That...was incredibly fast. o.O

For me it's all about the evolutions. I'll be using the basic stage for about 11 levels, so I never really have that form dictate which I choose. I can see Chespin getting shoved down our throats in the anime though.

I already look at the logo for Pokemon Y and see pubic hair. This thing isn't helping.

Froakie, I don't care how lame he is, I always stick with the Water type, besides, Oshawott looked weird, but then he ends up becoming the coolest of the final forms!!!

Oh wow. I didn't expect Froakie's final evolution to be leaked so early :P.

Vulpix = Fox
Fennekin = Fennec Fox

Other than both being fire foxes, I don't see much of a resemblance.

Aw come on stop taking this so seriously.


On another note, after watching the trailer about 10 times, I'm starting to like Froakie.

I chose Fennekin. However we have to wait 'till we see the final forms of the starters, until then I cannot make a certain decision.

I feel Frokie would look epic if he had an expression on his face. Oshawott felt the same to me at first, dull and boring but his anime appearance really helped my view on him.

You've successfully made me like that frog even less.
