Son Wukong on fire was so good they tried to do Zhu Bajie on fire the next gen.

I think someone at TPCI realized that 1. firepig sucked and that 2. Sha Wujing on fire would have been really stupid and that fire type Xuanzang would have probably been a bit on the nose.

Trying to figure out the pun in Rowlett and Popplio.

Rowlett... Owl... Row... Rowan? Like the tree?

I don't think we saw the final forms of the Kalos starters before the games came out. I think we only saw up to their second evolutions.

Man, water starters have had a lot of early haters for the past few generations.

This lil' guy is probably going to end up as water/fairy, just like the other clown themed pokemon Mr.Mime (a personal favorite of mine everyone else seems to hate)

Looked back at my prediction that Ashimari/Popplio would be a fire squid, what do you think will come of Marshadow? Maybe Popplio's second form will be dark?

Also, I remember the name Litleo as well.

There will be no megas in this generation. We could only bring over one feature from XY and everyone wanted clothes, so there you go.

He's going to be killed by evolution and change into a spooky water/ghost clown.

Mega Evos get 100 extra base stat points so they could put a bunch of those in Speed, or give it a Speed boosting ability like Swift Swim or Speed Boost

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE

Decus posted:

Wait, are the starting moves really water gun, ember and a new grass move called leafage? And the rival is picking the disadvantage?

Worst part of the reveals. Everything else is cool. Might actually try to not look at new pokemon/evolutions this time and blind-pick starters and actually be surprised by stuff. Litten is probably the safest starter choice for that on the one hand though on the other that dumb seal thing can't possibly look worse on evolution so it has that going for it.

edit: wait a minute, didn't somebody do a fake-mon spread of a grass owl, a water seal and a fire cat?

It's probably like the last few gens. Rival picks disadvantage, opposite gender PC picks advantage.

ganonpork was great actually. the only problem was that it was the third fire/fighting starter in a row, and that poo poo got stale

Most common starter typings;

Grass
Water
Fire/Fighting

Also Emboar should have been Fire/Dark and Samurott Water/Fighting. Also Serperior could have been like Grass/Dragon.

There is a high likelihood that Litten will become bipedal when it evolves, but I do not want this to happen.
