For real? I always figured it was hell tropical all the time. Shows what I know.

I want that owl tho. I guess I'll have to rebuy a ds after all.

Yeah, at the summit of the mountains, like Haleakala.

Starters own, professor owns, legendaries own, pokemon-hawaii owns. Hopefully we'll get to visit the other islands, I want to see pokemon Maui.

It doesn't help itself much, but it's hardly the worst type. Grass/Fighting had a harder time, but did very well. That owl is kind of boned against Steel.

Fingers crossed it can learn moves that aren't Grass, Normal, or Flying-type.

The boy trainer is probably the most boring one yet, and the girl looks dumb. Both the professors are awesome though.

Welcome to the most geographically isolated population center in the world. It's more likely somewhere from Japan though, considering the population demographics and tourism.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

Totes picking that fire tiger. Fire tiger is adorable.

Also most people I've talked to want Moon, so I guess I'll pick Sun and be the provider of the version exclusives.

All the starters are cool and cute this time around. I wasn't fond of the sea lion at first, but he's growing on me. But seriously, fire tiger is my jam.


Christo posted:

You know, I think this time around I'm going to actively avoid spoiling most of the new pokemon so that I can discover them in game. I don't think I've had a "what is THAT?" moment since the Red and Blue days. Now that Game Freak has revealed the starters and box legendaries, I guess that's my cue to unbookmark this thread. See you in November, folks.

I did this for X and Y and honestly it ended up being less fun. Plus I had to do a lot of catching up with the new breeding mechanics and whatnot.

Oh hey the Australian release is the same as everywhere else and since it's the same PAL region as Europe, you can just order the games and get it the same time as everyone else instead of waiting five days because gently caress you.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
All of those starters are awesome but I still need to see the final evolution to decide which to pick. Chespin's first form is awesome but he eventually evolves into stupid idiot who looks like he can barely move his arms. You will not trick me, Nintendo. I want the owl though

Finally they revealed the legendaries so I know which version to pick now that I see which one is obviously better. Though it's kind of weird Nintendo doesn't want to sell very many copies of the Sun version

Nah he's the only redeeming part of that evolutionary line. Gen V starters were trash in general.

All the starters look adorable, but the final form is what matters so I'm going to avoid getting to attached to any of them before seeing what they'll eventually become.

Hey, feel free to make over 800+ 3D models of every single following Pokemon in 16 directions, as well as animations and pathing and all that. It would be a ridiculous amount of work for such a small feature and it's not surprising in the least it hasn't returned.

Oshawott is the loving worst and all the B/W starters and their evos suck except for Snivy
