They look even worse than the Generation IV starters, and that's saying something. The top one looks like the retarded offspring of a Pikachu, a Marill, and a Chikorita. The bottom right one looks like a fat Abra. As for the the bottom left one, I have no idea what it's supposed to look like with that fucked up head shape.

Ugh... I don't like the silhouettes... They just look weird.
What the hell happened to creativity Nintendo? What happened to awesome Gen 1 and 2 designs of the starters and their evolutions?

LOLz ... they had better not changed the types of the starting Pokemon.

The bottom-left one looks like a Gardevoir with a tail ...
The centre one looks like a Turwig with a "springy-tail" ...
The bottom-right one looks like a messed up Flaffy ...

Those are my two-cents on this matter.

1st one looks like a charmander with a tail shaped as a leaf + a weird curved head.
2nd one looks like a turtwig with the tail of a spoink/marill and the ears of a pikachu.
3rd one looks stupid.

honestly,
pokemon is running out of ideas.

These are quite possibly the worst starters ever. To be completely honest, I didn't really like the Hoenn starters. Imo the Sinnoh ones were ok, the Johto and Kanto ones were the best and the Hoenn, and possibly these are the worst.

EVERY time new gen pokemon came out I made icky faces at them...but they eventually grew on me. But these...just based on the silhouettes I'm instantly irritated. Like everyone said, just looks like they're running out of ideas. I don't know, they just look...so random. Oh well. This is all part of their plan, hopefully.

Now crossing fingers that their official reveal won't be utterly disappointing.

Yeah, I always cringe at the new Pokemon. They've probably got ol' Sugimori locked in a small room, chained to his desk while he makes Pokemon nowadays.

Hey guys, the new generation is out! Look how stupid they look even though all I can see is their silhouette! Damn, these are going to be some of the dumbest Pokémon ever!

The third one: stupid

Eh I can't comment too much without seeing the actual Pokemon, but they don't look THAT bad. Running out of ideas? One can only imagine, after 500 Pokemon.

Also, I hope they change the starting types. That'd actually be different and cool.

They can't do that. No other type combination works like Fire/Water/Grass.

Oh no.
Seriously, suck it up. You haven't even seen the real images yet, so why start winging now?

Also, the water one, I hope it's a platypus

Offtopic: Hey, I made that emoticon. That's cool how it's official now.

On-topic: Someone, make a mockup of what it might be

This.
After seeing Zoroark I hoped Game Freak got back on track, but no, Nintendo will probably pull another Lucario on us (pokemon of new generation that looks cool and gets a lot of appearances, while most of the other designs in that generation are bad.)
