Pokemon sequel is under development for DS

The trainers are all right, the girl's design is far superior as usual. I wish they'd have a wider variety of avatar selections though, it would be nice to have a few adult characters to chose from.

Fire/Dark and Grass?

No way it's solo Grass again, fuck. That would be the third time now. But I'm not picking up on any clues besides yellow -> Electric.

Grass/Electric would be badass. I chose that cool customer as my starter about four seconds after seeing the picture, but that would make him even better.

I'd choose the Grass starter over the Water if it was Grass/Electric, that's such a cool combo.

And btw, older protagonists means they're gonna do it guys... E10+. THEY'RE GOING MATURE!

I'd say Fire/Ground and Grass/Fight or Grass/Dark for no reasons

I don't know. The conspicuous shoulder decoration and tail end make me think it will propel itself somehow. Grass/Flying?

The expression on that fire starter! :lol

"HOLY SHIT I'M IN A POKEMON GAME THIS IS AMAZING WOWEE LOOK AT ME I'M FUCKING GREAT!!"

Okay, the Fire one is growing on me too. Just the Water starter who's the ugly stepchild that needs to prove itself.

:lol :lol :lol :lol
 
Took a bit, but they all "feel" like Pokemon now and they're starting to grow on me. I love the water starter a bunch though because I think otters are the shit.

Edit: That pig hasta be Fire/Dark. Just looks like it.

Again, you read my mind!

Actually as I look at them they're growing on me a little, but there is something so wrong with the colouring on the water starter, it's made up of 5 different colours, white head, dark blue lower limbs, brown nose, turquoise body and a cream coloured shell. It's too much.
How's this?

Just woke up to this. I really like the trainers, but the starters leave a lot desired by me. Maybe it'll be a lot better once we get their evolutions.
 
Anyone thinking we'll get new types? (like Dark and Steel in Gen 2)

My guesses:

Grass - Fire/Ground - Water/Ice

Grass > Ground
Grass < Fire

Grass > Water
Grass < Ice

Like much more that design MK, but I wish the nose was more Pink/Brown than Orange as well. Too late for GF to change it anyways, not like they care =(

edit: no way that Fire starter is Dark, just look at his smile! :lol
 
Fire/Dark would make sense considering the colouring... buuuttt Pokemon designs have been less about colour coded Pokemon now, so just because it has black parts doesn't mean it's going to be a Dark type. I mean, Infernape has red, white, yellow AND blue parts so he could've been any bloody combination of elements based on that logic.

Considering he's a pig (and based on Swinub/Piloswine/Mamoswine), I'd say he'll be Fire/Ground. If you lot are going to suggest similarly shitty combinations for the Grass starter let me do the same with SomethingOinkful over here.
 
Like the trainers, (really just the girl) but the starters may take some time to grow on me. I do sorta like the grass dude whatever he's called.

Makes sense. It is a fire pig after all, and pigs do a lot of ground stuff.

A red nose works much better with a blue body.

Wat. The trainer designs are actually good? Nice. And from the starters I really like the grass-type, I mean look at his dope as shit popped collar. So 00ies.
 
That water one is now my least favorite starter in all gens.
 
The fire starter looks terrible. Who wants an ugly pig to be their starter.
The water sorta looks like Piplup, and the grass looks like Treecko with a different tail.
 
...God damn it. Almost every fan enterpretation of the starters look better than the official ones.

But older player trainers? That's interesting. More deep/dark/mature/edgy story?
Hell no.
 
They're all terrible. But I'm not shocked by that at all. Ever since gen 3 I've had absolutely no high expectations towards the starters turning out decently. None.

It's a toss up between the Pig and the Lizard for me though(not touching that Clown-Otter piece of crap.. 1'st stage water starters have been getting screwed hard since gen 3. ugh). I can definitely see the Pig having an epic 3'rd evolution. A bulky Fire/Ground Fire/Dark boar with tusks and shit... I'm totally game for that.

I really like the Protagonists too. Gen 3 and 4 were so terrible I'm surprised by how good these turned out hoenstly.

The battle screen looks good. The flamethrower animation looks like it will be pretty decent. Hopefully all the moves get upgraded animations.
 
Dear god, all those fake-starters look horrible. But that´s what you get from already horrible silhouettes.

Damn, cant we just get simple, likable startes like Charmander, Squirtle and that other one?
 
OMG Aero said:
Man the fire pig looks so God damn happy. As someone who always picks the fire starter, I hope it evolves into a huge badass boar.

Big ass boar... High attack/defense, low speed/special defense? High attack/speed, low defenses?
 
Oh god, fire pig already is my fave 8D

Fire Pig > generic reptiles
 
Fire and Grass look awesome. Will not choose the water one though :lol What is that.

Still its not like we need any more Water types anyway.

=3 Hope the Japanese version isn't DSi region locked. I'm importing this bad boy.

IT'S A FUCKING OTTER. AN OTTER GODDAMNIT!
 
I think the piggy is adorable!
I usually pick Fire starters, so I'm happy I get the one with the :D expression.
Maybe he'll have various smilies as his evolutions, like :| and >:(

:D to :| to >:(
 
You know, the more I look at that "polar otter" thing, the more I realized that it has a sad face. I guess it has already expected the hate.
 
Alright, it's official. I'm in love with the otter. I'm going to buy the plushie. I'm gonna make it my avatar. I want to hug it!

QUICK SOMEBODY CROP IT INTO AVATAR SIZE FOR ME PLEASE! >:(

From a separate source, the Pokemon's names might be Tsutaaja (&#12484;&#12479;&#12540;&#12472;&#12515;), Pokabu (&#12509;&#12459;&#12502;), and Mijumaru (&#12511;&#12472;&#12517;&#12510;&#12523;). "Tsuta" means "ivy." "Bu" relates to "pig." "Mijuku" means "immature" and "maru" means "round" or "ball." Again, these are not the confirmed names yet. The magazine scan does not mention their names.

My interpretation:
* Tsutaaja: Tsuta (&#34086;, ivy) + Ja (&#34503;, snake)
* Pokabu: Pokapoka (&#12413;&#12363;&#12413;&#12363;, warmth circulating in one's body) + Buta (&#35930;, pig)

Sounds right enough about Mijumaru. The sea otter isn't quite as cute as the Solid Snake-wannabe that I posted earlier, but it's still pretty cute, in my opinion. Also, love the ivy snake's super-smarmy expression. :lol It's so tough to choose between the two!
 
This game will be the greatest Pokemon game of all time if they just get rid of HM's and fix the PC. I don't know why they don't allow you to select pokemon in your PC BOX like you can when selecting pokemon for the Pokeathalon. And I've never had a 6 Pokemon rotation during the main story in my entire life thanks to those fucking HM's.

Has there ever been a company more lazy and unimaginative with such a hit franchise? Sweet Jesus Gamefreak.
 
For the first 3 generations Water got an amazing looking starter (although the first gen, they all looked cool). Let it have 2 generations, let Grass (who usually has the weak designs imo) get his cool looking snake with arms, and happy little piggy.

It's kind of funny, but the Starters all kind of follow the same forms

4 legged thing, low to the ground: Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Mudkip, Turtwig, Piggy
Upright With Lean Body: Charmander, Totodile, Treeko, Chimchar, Grass Snake
Upright With Fat Body: Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Piplup, Otter Guy

I mean, Mudkip and Piggy have identical poses in their official art. The otter has Piplup's body and the grass thing looks like a Charmander/Treeko hybrid.
