The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

Quick reminder (I almost forgot about it): the pokewalker route Winner’s Path is up.

Pokemon Sunday just aired in Japan (since they’re in the future and all) and they revealed the new 5th gen starters!

(… in silhouette)

Gotta wait till next week to see them fully. OR, next week’s CoroCoro may leak them first, as they are oft to do.

They look potentially decent. The one on the lower left is definitely a grass type.

I dunno looks more like a fire type, similar to charmander.

I thought about that at first, but then the legs looked too organic and curly, not just like fire flickering like you probably might be thinking.

Could easily be wrong tho.

it’s cool story bro time!

Finally done with the first part of Emerald. E4/Champ was a tad harder than what I remember. It must be all those Double Teams/Sand Attacks in this edition. :wasted:

Fuck a Milotic. If it weren’t for Gardevoir’s Synchronize/Rest and Ethers, I would have never had a chance. :lol: Highlight was a 17-levels lower Gyarados taking out the champ’s Wailord with Thunders.

Still, it was fun. I think I will like Fire Red/Leaf Green a lot more since I’m still an oldbie. But I’ll give the new games a chance. Sister is playing through Pearl, maybe I’ll follow suit after my regular Gen I playthroughs.

I hope to catch up with the rest of the world come White/Black.

My cool story bro time.

It took FOREVER, but I finally did my first RNG breed. 31/31/31/16/31/31 Adamant Magikarp, to be a Gyarados.

^ wtg mzenken!

Thank you thank you. :tup::tup:

No-one told me The Fourth Hokage was a gym leader. :0

here’s the official look of our new starters

from a rough translation (thought I could be wrong)
*
In the Isshu region a new adventure awaits!

3 new starter pokemon: Tsutaaja a Grass/Fighting pokemon of ivy, Pokabu a Fire/Dark pig pokemon and Mijumaru a Water/Psychic pokemon that can roll into a ball.*

The starter designs are meh, I’m just glad that the one with the pointy legs and tail is Grass and not Fire.

The Fire/Dark piglet better turn into something vicious!

I take it I’m going to be one of many who’ll name their fire pig Bacon. bet it!

New Starters look better than the others. I want to convince my GF to cosplay the female trainer. :wonder:

What is the fastest way you all get BP?

There are much better characters for her to cosplay dude.

Fire/DAWKNESS pig is on lock, although I hope he becomes anthropomorphic and devilish in his final Evo.

The statement that the Water/Psychic type can “roll into a ball” is interesting. Will there be traits that can be utilized actively in and outside battle? Now that’s a change I can believe in!

the translation might still be off so take what I said with a few grains man…but bear in mind it’s now 5:30 am and as I look up any new info I’m half asleep.:zzz:

Not bad. With any luck, Swine Flu will transform into something like Mammoswine or even more badass.

For a quick comparison, ye olde starters.

Edit- Hm, what would an all-pig lineup look like? Swinub, Mankey, Spoink, this one, ?

In a similar vein, I was think of making a Ninja Turtles team. Squirtle, Turtwig, Torkoal, ?

I am making an all charizard team
cause thats the business

All pikachu team? surf fly volt tackle baton pass and ???

Body Slam… I believe Grass Knot and Substitute (takes advantage of 'Chu speeds and helps with its low hp’s) is recommended too.

grass/fighting?? sign me up!
as long as he isnt as brittle as breloom
