It was pretty weird when gen 4 only had two starters, and removed fire pokemon entirely.

I'm so glad they learned from that mistake.

It was the start of the awful Fire/Fighting trend, and in general I don't like Monferno or Infernape's designs at all. Chimchar's a bit cute at least.

There's gotta be more characters from Journey to the West they can turn into starters. Or maybe start pulling from Water Margin and give us poke Suikoden

I get Chimchar mixed up with Simisear sometimes. The former is fine, the latter is very much not.

Well, let's see...of the main characters we already have Monkey and Pigsy, so that leaves Tripitaka, Sandy, and the White Dragon horse. You could probably make some good starters out of those three.

The reason I don’t believe these (other than Dehry posting proof that they’re fake) is that their sillhouettes are not very distinct. They’re all differently shaped blobs. Cute, but not seperate from one another. Compare them to the gen 7 starters, which are cute with distinct body shapes.

Dehry posted:

I still say that his mistake in their designs is that the evolutions all share the same color scheme as the original starters. Not even Gen 1 does this: Ivysaur, Charmeleon and Wartortle are darker then Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. Not only that, but starters usually gain some new feature rather then simply being a "bigger version" of the first form.

For the Platypus, the first form is fine but the others are too samey to pass for a proper evolution line.

You can really tell they're fake because they're all trying to mimic the leaked character sheets of the Sun and Moon starter evolutions. They always seem to forget the color guide because when looking for further examples they see the cleaned up art provided to fans.

They made a Tardigrade starter that's a literal water bear, god drat that's good. I know it's a leak but I'd probably take this over whatever GF has planned.

I hope they give it a special ability that lets it ignore extreme conditions.

I’m honestly surprised how amazing the Pokémon movie looks. Considering how every other hot Japanese media sucks dick when turned into a Hollywood movie, this is probably gonna be the best adaptation since Mortal Kombat (that soundtrack!) and the first TMNT movie.

TMNT is a western property. It was originally a comic book in the 80s made by two dudes in New Hampshire.

Sorry, it was two different statements.
1. Most Japanese major media turns to Hollywood poo poo
2. The best adaptations for games and such I’d seen were MK and TMNT.

I used to have the original Eastman/Laird graphic novels of TMNT and the first movie really did it justice.

San teashi is definitely the way a fluent Japanese speaker would write "three arms."

Just like I have two extremities protruding from my trunk that finish as five digits. This is natural English!!

the actual visual design of those starters is pretty good but i definitely am erring on the side of them absolutely not being real, especially if the japanese is borked on the pages

hard be 100%, though, since i'm pretty sure everyone wrote off the initial leaks of the gen 7 starters as well lmao
