I want a mean female rival. We've had primarily nice and/or male rivals for too long.

We can become friends eventually, but I want her to be super snooty and condescending at the start.

So who wants to join me in the speculation hole on what the final typings for the starters will be?

My predictions (certainly not my personal hopes being blatantly projected here)

Grooky becomes Grass/Dark with a musician theme, Scorbunny becomes Fire/Fairy with a white rabbit trickster theme and Sobble becomes either Water/Psychic or Water/ Dragon and is based on Nessie.

My money is still on:

Grooky = Grass/Fairy (although grass/normal is also on the table since normal is the type most associated with sound)

Scorbunny = Fire/Electric (I am 100% on this one)

Sobble = Water/ghost (mostly because of the turn invisible thing)

Space Cadet Omoly

Flopsy posted:

These are also pretty spot on! Grooky really could go either way with whole mischievous music monkey theme. And Scorbunny strikes me as a speedy glass cannon so a secondary electric typing makes sense. Sobble is the hardest to pin down though. Hell it could even be Water/ Poison at this point since it apparently used acid armor in the trailer.

Yeah, Grooky and Sobble could both go a lot of ways at this point. The second evolution might make is easier to tell where they're headed.

I am dead certain about Scorbunny being fire/electric though. The emphasis on speed and energy, it's name being spark in some of the foreign languages, the fact that it's a rodent, heck if you showed me a picture of Scorbunny and asked me to guess its typing I would say "electric" and assume it was gen 8's pika clone rather than a starter.

Having literally just started watching the show last week at almost 40 years old, I’m not sure I see what the hate is about? I have no nostalgia for it since I never previously watched it, but it’s basically every Saturday morning cartoon I saw as a kid. I had poo poo like thunder cats, silverhawks, MASK, the ghostbusters cartoon and my favorite: Voltron. This show back in the 80s would’ve fit right in with that stuff as a fun kids show and adventure, plus the bonus that it ties into the games. I don’t see any problems with it and while the characters, especially Ash so far, are way loving over the top, that’s par for the course for a Saturday morning cartoon. I said this before, but I really wish I hadn’t skipped out on the show when it first came on. Had I given it a chance I’d probably have loved it then too.

Don't take the hate too seriously, it's just kind of fun to complain about things. The Pokemon cartoon is great if you're looking to watch a cute upbeat show about kids making friends with monsters and then having those monsters fight each other. There's no shame in enjoying something nice.

Is it time to play "who can find the creepiest Pokedex entry"?

Gengar

Sliggoo
"It has trouble drawing a line between friends and food. It will calmly try to melt and eat even those it gets along well with."

Froslass
"When it finds humans or Pokémon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations."

They now have Giovanni's full backing, since he also saw how strong Pikachu was at the end of the BW anime. They also keep taking credit for dismantling the region's evil team, so he specifically sends them to new regions so they can quash whatever evil plot is going there so Team Rocket can be the dominant force.

Huh, so the Pokemon mafia never got dismantled in the anime? And it's still spreading to other regions? That's a little unsettling.
