Infernape is the only fire/fighting type. Anything else is a poor substitute.GamerSoul said:I'd Blaze Kick you right now if I could. It was more like
and Infernape, although cool, was a waste since there was a Fire/Fighting right in the Gen before it.

Yeah you know what I'ma find where you live, I'm gonna sit outside the window and I'm gonna just stare you for a week straight. On the 8th day I'm gonna break in and toss sand in your eyes and scream "UGLIEST POKEMON EVER CREATED HUH?" and then I'm gonna flee.

In terms of looks, for me, Combusken > Blaziken. Mostly because he reminds me of the company mascot of Pollo Campero, makers of some of the most delicious fried chicken in the world.
Also, did anyone else have the compulsion to read those two names as though they're being shouted out by the guy who shouts out "ARE YOU KEN?" and "SURE YOU'RE KEN!" in Street Fighter complete with reverb?
I'd normally pronounce it: Com-bus-ken
I read it: COMBUS - KENNNNN!!!!!
I'd normally pronounce it: Blay-zee-ken
I read it: BLAZING - KENNNNN!!!!!
It's especially awesome at the start of battles. It's like "COOLTRAINER JOEY sent out Flygon.... Go! BLAZING KENNNNNN!!!!!!"
Right guys?

Explain to me how the grass starter is a snake? It has arms and legs. Do not come back to me with the meaning of japanese roots. Pokemon apologists are the worst.
It looks like a grassified regular old green lizard.

Oh man, the Pokemon marketing machine at it's finest. The same thing happened to me. :lol
It also helped that Torchic's entire evolutionary line saved me numerous times in regards to having both a decent fire Pokemon on call and something of a monster for the first 5 or so gym battles.

If there are lizards without arms/legs, why can't there be a snake WITH arms/legs?

Because that's not the way nature (arbitrary taxonomic categories) works.

Easy, Snakes USE TO have 4 legs but lost them in the process of evolution.
Apply that to this case . . . this thing has pussy ass legs so its likely to ALSO lose it's limbs when evolving until it's a winged snake thing.

Only if you believe the anime.Gravijah said:
Maybe I haven't characterised it right, but it isn't "ee" as in sick, but more "ih". Slightly shorter. Blay-zih-ken.
Also,
Milotic = Mih - loh - tick (sounds a little like "melodic")
Suicune = S-why-kyoon (sounds like a racist hillbilly with a peculiar speech impediment asking a black person "why?")

A Quetzalcoatl pokemon would be kind of cool. It'd have to have rainbow plumage though.Black-Wind said:
It'd be a good offensive typing, actually.-Eddman- said:

Case in point.
I will definitely eat crow if the grass starter's evolutions lose their arms and become more snakelike but as it is the grass starter is the spitting image of an American chameleon.

I thought I was pronouncing Rayquaza right (ray-KWAH-zah) until that movie that featured it, where everyone called it (ray-KWAY-zah). Crazy stuff.viciouskillersquirrel said:
I also pronounce Suicune (SWEE-coon), and Arceus (R-c-us).

I hope your not calling ME a "Pokemon apologists" for making sense of how a snake Pokemon can have legs.Affeinvasion said:

I apologize. It sounded like a smug "why not" scenario. There aren't any living snakes that have arms or legs.
Really this just stems from the fact that it really looks like a specific kind of lizard and not from the Japanese name.
Edit: by pokemon apologist I really mean pokefans who defend the obviously ridiculous stuff in pokemon games that are counter to logic just because it is "canon" or "it says so in the pokedex"
Really no offense meant, just creating discussion based around this gen of starters.

I pronounce it Ray-KWAY-zah because I always assumed it was a pun on the words "ray" and "quasar". Arceus I pronounce Arse-AY-us.ColtraineGF said:

Yeah And hopefully he evolves into his 2nd form at level 6 because I can't convince myself to use that abomination for a long time. It looks really really ugly.
@Gravijah :lol sorry I use to think that Probopass is the ugliest pokemon too, tied with luvdisc but we are talking about starters here, most of their design is top notch and then we got this Water Starter, it's unforgivable.

I think the water starter wouldn't cause any objections if the color of its nose wasn't so out of place. It could end up being a different color in game as sometimes the official drawings use a bit of a different color palette than the sprites.

Why do people hate Luvdisc so much? I mean it's kinda bland but it's not hideously gut-wrenching ugly that is Probopass.

Not to mention it doesn't evolve or anything so you don't ever have to use it in your party to complete your pokedex.

It's mainly the fact that you guys don't recognise Daisy Dukes when you see them that either saddens me most or gives me the most faith in humanity.

Like I said, they USE to have legs before losing them.
Bulbagarden has been calling it that for a few hours now. Fun seeing their hate . . . reminds me of fire ass monkey before the anime.ShockingAlberto said:

Maybe he will lose them when he evolves.
That would be cool!
Maybe it'll evolve into some Satanic/Garden of Eden snake. Look at the smug fucker; he's up to something. If the game is trying to be as edgy as it seems we may get the "Original Sin" Pokemon.
I mean, we got the meme'd myth of turtles-holding-onto-the-Earth and Sun Wukong as the final forms of our starters, and if this takes place in a Pokemon version of America it'd thematically would make more sense.
...Wait, religion and evolution?
