[Killer Queen]

Being team moon since the beginning and being sure it was the version I wanted..than seeing the mascots and thinking to myself.... I made a terrible mistake. Space bat why hast thou forsaken me

And in which case im in the same boat.

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

Seems like they're going for a circus theme (Grass ring leader, firebreathing cat and juggler/tricks sea lion).

I'm picking Popplio and gonna enjoy the shit out of it. Ya'll haters.

 

[CharminUltra]

I'm digging the cat starter.

I dunno, I'm excited.

 

[-Horizon-]

I just realized, unless there's a hidden cave like shoal cave, maybe there won't be anything ice related in this game like a gym or anything.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Picking a starter is going to be harder than I thought this time around. For me at least. I really like all 3 of them and both legends seem pretty awesome.

Starters I'm pretty sure I'm going with Litten, except if I get disappointed by his evolution forms. Between Sun and Moon I will probably not decide until knowing more about the differences. I liked both legendaries, but I'm still not totally convinced by that bat design...

 

[TeegsD]

The frame rate dipping really stuck out to me but besides that, it all looks great. Not sure what starters some of you folks are seeing but I wouldn't use ugly to describe them. Litten looks the "worst" but they all look adorable as fuck.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Now Rowlet is reminding me on the tootsie pop owl.

I already said I'd be calling mine tootsie lol

 

[Tacorona72]

Fire/Electric would kind of fit with the hair licking thing

I think we're due for another fire/electric type.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

This is gold.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Gamefreak made a desert appear in the middle of Manhattan

 

[Reszo]

I guess I like Litten, I've never went with a fire starter so this could be my first. The Grass and water don't really look too good but I'll hold off until I see their evolutions, that's what really matters lol

I feel like Rowlet will turn out awesome because it's a owl lol.

 

[V-Faction]

I read the first page. I read the last page. As usual, the starter opinions are all over the place. Ah taste, so subjective.

I gotta tell you, when I saw it was an Owl, Cat, and Seal from behind, I nearly shat myself.

 

[Sandfox]

I'm guessing that the moon legendary will be Dark/Fairy for the stab moonblast.

 

[Crayolan]

I just realized, unless there's a hidden cave like shoal cave, maybe there won't be anything ice related in this game like a gym or anything.

Reminder that the region based on Hokkaido had a volcano and a fire type E4 member.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

LOL

 

[Red]

That cat starter nearly sold me on the game.

Also excited about a grass/flying starter.

 

[Einchy]

Those might be the worst starters I've ever seen.

Legendaries look pretty good, though.

 

[-Horizon-]

Yeah, I honestly can't dislike any of the starters. Even popplio looks adorable.

I wonder if Litten will have a back full of flames or if its gonna be like this somehow with a fire torch or something when it evolves

 

[V-Faction]

Whoa, hold the phone---didn't even realize it was part-Flying.

This means it's our first dual-Type first form Starter since Bulbasaur in Gen 1 with Grass/Poison. I figured Game Freak decided not to do that anymore since it sort of defeats the purpose of the Starter being used to teach the basics of the Type triangle by having one of them immediately complicate things with the dual-Type, though Flying doesn't really effect Water or Fire so no biggie.

Pretty amazing ain't it.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Everybody going #TeamLIT... I was part of Froakie master race, never switched and was vindicated

Know what that means?

Rowlet has a healthy team backing and will probably be straight.

Popplio will have best final form with sucky first form.

TeamLit is gonna get shitty final evo / possibly Fire-Fight and have mass exodus to Rowlet and Popplio despite having best first form....

Let me just prepare for the worst, and hope for the best...

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

The internet works in weird ways.

 

[The Silver]

Yo that seal has a tumor on its nose

 

[MulderYuffie]

HAHA that''s so great this Gen is already starting off good.

 

[Tacorona72]

Starters I'm pretty sure I'm going with Litten, except if I get disappointed by his evolution forms. Between Sun and Moon I will probably not decide until knowing more about the differences. I liked both legendaries, but I'm still not totally convinced by that bat design...

I like the Moon legendary cause it looks so mysterious. But the Sun legendary looks so pure and powerful. Once we get some known differences that will be the deciding factor.

 

[Already Torn]

I'm guessing that the moon legendary will be Dark/Fairy for the stab moonblast.

I doubt it'll be dark type, the moon gives off light

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

And here I thought it couldn't get any worse than last gens starters, but they proved me wrong.

 

[iFirez]

I think it'l be fascinating if the owl's typing changes later on. I would be super pumped if it does, could be a really interesting switch up. I wonder if/what dual types the other two will be too.

 

[-Horizon-]

Gamefreak made a desert appear in the middle of Manhattan

That's true.

Reminder that the region based on Hokkaido had a volcano and a fire type E4 member.

But there are actual volcanoes there aren't there?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

There's always that one starter that gets rekt online more than the others watch that now my water starter streak is broken it'll be rowlet

 

[imBask]

I have no shame

 

[Owari]

Wow, the art looks vastly improved over XY/ORAS. Starters look better too. HYPE TRAIN WOOOOOT WOOOOT

 

[Kitzilla]

I really like the moon legendary. lol fab as fck

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Grass/Flying
Fire/Ghost
Water/Fairy

 

[panthapanda]

I forgot that I didn't have the game preordered. Went ahead and got Sun at Best Buy. Plus 15$ in certs, 18$ for a Pokemon is a damn good deal.

I'll get Moon digitally down the road.

 

[-Horizon-]

I'm really like the moon legendary. lol fab as fck

I just realized that looks like the boss from kirby

[NHarmonic.]

As a gen 1 fan, not impressed at all with these designs.

this is more impressive maybe.

 

[Red]

That moon legendary is my jam

 

[Crayolan]

Litten's tail kind of looks like a burnt out wick so I wouldn't be surprised if it goes alight when it evolves. Maybe just when it attacks.

Edit: Moon legendary looks more like a batarang than an actual bat.

That's true.


But there are actual volcanoes there aren't there?

I have no idea.

 

[wmlk]

And here I thought it couldn't get any worse than last gens starters, but they proved me wrong.

Last gen's starters were received with almost nothing but praise if you check the old thread.

 

[Darth_Caedus]

Grass and Fire starter have a lot of potential. Water starter looks like it may get uglier and uglier. Hopefully I'm wrong.

And here I thought it couldn't get any worse than last gens starters, but they proved me wrong.

Last starters were awesome everything in the Froakie line is great, everything in the Fennekin line is great, and Chespin is cute and his final evo is solid.

 

[DecoReturns]

Going to get Moon.

Strange how I always tend to pick the lesser popular version.

 

[-Horizon-]

Please let the guys have more clothing options.

I have no idea.

I'm gonna be disappointed if its fire fighting lol. With Delphox I want to believe we're off that dumb trend.
