Lmao, this needs to see some use going forward.

Best starter confirmed.

Happy to be of service.

 

[udivision]

Kick moves confirmed? That's surprising.

He's going to end up GrassBlaziken.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Fire and water look like shit. Incredible that they topped Oshawott twice in a single generation for worst starter design ever. Still though Rowlet is legit, and that's all that matters. Starter picked, ready to go, oh yeah.

He's going to end up GrassBlaziken.

Oh god no, don't say that. Worst looking fully evolved starter by a mile.

 

[ChrizzlyBear711]

Pitty that the kid in the commercial can't use the game in its 3DS because of region lock (Japanese 3DS and US game).

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Hmmm, this would be enough to get me to buy a 3DS again

 

[Kyzer]

Probably best grass starter. Ash going to choose it as a starter. This gens pikachu

I'm gonna say he's gonna go with Popplio based on his shounen spirit description

 

[Thoraxes]

Fire cat looks the best.

 

[OmegaSmash]

The darker skinned options straight up makes the boy look like a girl

Spoiler

and cuter than the actual girl.

 

[Parshias7]

Owl starter looks the best, but I like all of the new starters. Might have to wait on the full line before I make my choice. Definitely going with Sun, though.

 

[Kouriozan]

OWL STARTER,
PLEASE
DON'T
PULL
A
CHESNAUGHT
THANKS

But Chestnaught looks amazing!

 

[kuroneko0509]

ahahahahahaha saved

 

[JCX]

Looks great. Love that it's based on Hawaii. Not fond of any of the starters, hope their final forms are better.

 

[Syntsui]

I hope the rival is an arrogant douchbag. I'm tired of weak ass idiots.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Those starters are hideous.

I've just finished my 100th play of Fire Red. Gonna play Heartgold next.

Never playing any newer games. The designs are so bad good lord, gen 2 is as far as I'll go.

 

[Kaleo]

yo the japanese ad is sick!

Teared-eyes right now ;_;

 

[Illucio]

She is the 7th gym leader and this is the 7th gen....

I wonder if there is an actual connection. Come to think of it Sungalio looks like Blaine's newer design, mustache, colors, and all.

And funny enough he is also the 7th gym leader.


Am I reading too much into this?

 

[Forkball]

Am I reading too much into this?

Actually I thought the same thing. It's probably just a coincidence though.

OR IS IT

 

[zeromcd73]

I like how the characters now look more human proportioned rather than being chibi. Also like how the character looks like when they walk and run since it doesn't look as much like they're running on a grid.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I keep rewatching the Japanese trailer and I instantly feel like a kid again.

 

[HardRojo]

Not a fan of the starters.
The lion legendary looks cool.
I like the realistic proportions in the overworld and hopefully things stay like that from now on.

 

[Kyzer]

Lmao at what was lost in translation between Rowlet and Roothoot starter trio images

 

[Altazor]

yo the japanese ad is sick!

man, that was legit great.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Yoooooo

People are hating like a bitch on these starters.

This isn't Gen V homies. Nowhere close. Stay mad.

Uhm.
Are people still trying to throw around the "Gen 6.5" nonsense.

 

[Subtervotion]

Garchomp says hi.

 

[keero16]

But Chestnaught looks amazing!

Yeah, but Quilladin...

 

[ShadowElliot]

Oh god no, don't say that. Worst looking fully evolved starter by a mile.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

If Citra becomes playable by years end, I could see these improved graphics in 1080p

We have to go deeper.

 

[Nintendoga]

Don't like these starter designs. Not a fan. Gotta see what their evolutions look like but not feeling it rn.

Alright dude.

 

[GDGF]

yo the japanese ad is sick!

That's a beautiful ad.

 

[yanipheonu]

The moment I saw that Lion Legendary....

 

[Kouriozan]

Rowlet, use Fly!

 

[oti]

stole it. thanks.

Best avatar for your name.

 

[Greddleok]

Has there ever been a pokémon sequel released where everyone didn't say "I don't like the starters!"?

TPC might as well put it in their marketing material.

Grass owl and fire kitty look awesome.

 

[Kinsei]

Uhm.
Are people still trying to throw around the "Gen 6.5" nonsense.

I think they mean both Litten and Popplio are worse than Oshawott (their most disliked starter until this trailer).

 

[Goldpanda94]

First thing I was reminded of:

Sorry I don't know how to resize lol

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

This will be the first time in all of my pokemon history, after playing all the mainline games, Not picking the water starter.

 

[Atlas157]

Those rose tinted glasses look good on you.

 

[_h8bit]

Wow that was a really good ad. I think I actually like all three starters a lot! Looks like we'll also be in a pretty tropical setting this time around which I am pretty excited about - wasn't a huge fan of the X/Y environment aesthetic.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Uhm.
Are people still trying to throw around the "Gen 6.5" nonsense.

No. I was saying that both the fire and water starters managed to top Oshawott's ugliness.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Pitty that the kid in the commercial can't use the game in it's 3DS because of region lock (Japanese 3DS and US game).

You destroyed Nintendo, holy shit lmao

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

hype for freaking fire panther in final evolution.

 

[Kouriozan]

Those starters are hideous.

But Heart Gold/Soul Silver is Gen 4 :x

 

[Crayolan]

Also it seems your opponent's trainer model is always present during battles. I wonder if that has any implications, unless that was also the case in ORAS

Rival takes the starter yours is strong against.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

No. I was saying that both the fire and water starters managed to top Oshawott's ugliness.

Well that's not hard..oshawott's the Goat

 

[Kyzon]

But Chestnaught looks amazing!

Chesnaught the juggernut. My boy!

 

[Miroku129]

In for Pokemon Moon and Litten on day one.

Are you me?

 

[Scanna]

I knew I had seen him somewhere...
