how can anyone possibly care whether a monster is bipedal or not

The pokemon thread found a way to care about it.

Brionne posted:

Brionne always acts cheery and positive. Even when it’s feeling sad, this Pokémon doesn’t allow its sorrow to show. It’s said that Brionne will only reveal a sad expression to a Pokémon or Trainer to whom it has opened its heart completely.

That's so sad :(

I mean, it would be nice if one Fire starter stayed quadruped the whole way through. But hey, there's always Gen 8.

But the worst fire starter is a quad. Typhlosion only stands up to scare poo poo away, like a badger.

Only like, 20%.

There are very few fire pokemon actually on fire.

Charmander line, Ponyta line, Magmar line, Chimchar line, Moltres, M-Blaziken, Cindaquil line and Macargo.

Awh come on it's not so bad. He's a Lucha Lion fighting for your affection.

Give him a chance.

It just feels like we've had plenty of the fire-fighting aesthetic - we had some kick-boxer bird, some...monkey guy, and a wresler/sumo pig. Why another wrestler evo? As far as the lucha angle goes, we just got Hawlucha.

If they're fire-dark that will take a bit of the sting out, but I think that leaked final evo looks goofy. Maybe they'll grow on me - it's not like the other starters are very appealing to me.

oddium posted:

Probably less about being bipedal and more about being different from the trend, at least IMO.

Manatee Cannon posted:

I hope we get some Alolan variants that are fire typed. Feeling like there's a serious lack of fire pokemon shown off so far.

I feel like Alolan Muk is going to be a grass type, like a shambling mound of turf.

Alolan Marowak

Its not like there's a ton of Alolan form Pokemon, and there are a ton of types that aren't represented; Bug, Psychic, Fighting...

Also we have other fire types shown off. Like Turtonator and Oricorio-Baile.

Because there's a million bug and fighting pokemon without turning more into them. :colbert:

But I legit forgot about Alolan Marrowak.

for me it's better than trying to think of something clever for a while, then settling on a nothing name just because you feel like you need to name it something. especially if you then end up boxing that pokemon forever

It's a real power play to reset until you get a shiny starter, and I support your decision to do it.
