Sobble

Probably fire, yet again.

Noctosphere · Mar 2, 2019

Am I surprised to see Scorbunny first in the poll?
No, not at all
Am I surprised to see the water one so close to the fire one?
A bit, yes...

OldGnashburg · Mar 2, 2019

Torchic, obviously.

Noaken · Mar 2, 2019

Grookey

None, they all fucking suck.
We got yet ANOTHER stupid simian for starter? Seriously?
Goddamnit, I swear Game Freak tends to have some sort of zoophilia fetish towards monkeys at times.

Am I missing something? I only count one previous monkey starter, and he was a fire Pokemon. If there's a majority among starters, it seems to be lizards/amphibians.

Torchic, Piplup and that grass type from gen 7

Nice projection there. I am ok with "just a head with leg", "just a weed" or "just a rat" if the design is belivable and detailed. At least the early gen starters heads were not just a sphere. This starter seems to be designed to be the most easy thing to model and to sell the most plushes.

For what it's worth, I don't hate these designs at all.

But while watching the trailer and up until seeing the character art, the starters all looked so similar that I literally thought they decided this time to do slight elemental variations of the same pokemon (Eevee evolution-style).

I hope that hey let us play with & feed our pokemon. The one thing that I hated in let's Go was that they restricted the interactions to our starters only & that we couldn't evolve them. My Raichu was getting really jealous & cursing my Pikachu out

I'm curious how these are any more similar than any other gen

I swear I don't hold any strong feelings about this so I won't argue lol, but here's where I'm coming from at least:

Their anatomical shape seems to be the same: big round head, some sort of 'sprout' feature on top, small body, standing on two feet.

And I guess if you want to compare previous starters:

I'd say the most similar from these are probably Torchic, Piplup, and maybe Oshawatt too? (Even then, they're all from different gen.)
You can just look at the head/necks of these guys and see quite a bit of variety.

You can definitely see a clearer difference in the official artwork of the new starters, for what it's worth.

Good point.

They are a little more similar I think you're right.

Honestly at this point I think they were legitimately based on the Powerpuff girls.

they all look bad

Icealote · Mar 3, 2019

Now it's a real debate for myself to get a switch for only this pokemon game

Sleet · Mar 3, 2019

Every gen so far has had at least one starter I liked. Until this gen.

Probably the monkey but I'll box it if I don't like the evos either.

jahrs · Mar 3, 2019

Can i get a forth choice ie. magikarp cause id take one over these guys any day at least it evolves into something thats actual cool these guy will most likely remain derpy.
