So we've all seen Pokémon Sword & Shield revealed this week, but which of the 3 new starter Pocket Monsters will you choose:

​

Grookey, Scorbunny or Sobble?

Please vote in the poll and let us know who you will choose and why!

Sobble

 

[KingVamp]

Scorbunny, unless it is a fighting type. In that case, Grookey.

It doesn’t matter. They are all gonna be fighters .

Is that a JoJo reference?

 

[RedBlueGreen]

I always pick the grass starter so I'm going with Grookey.

 

[GamingAori]

Don't cut yourself on all that edge, bro.

Seriously though, the bar can't still be that high, we've had lamp Pokemon and ice cream cone Pokemon. I prefer when they at least use the animal kingdom for inspiration.

And we had a pokeball and an upside down pokeball pokemon.

And we had a pokeball and an upside down pokeball pokemon.

Shhh you're not supposed to talk shit about Gen 1 Pokémon. Like to the two that are literally based on Pokéballs, or the pile of sludge, or the magnet ball, or the weed, or the eggs. Those were real Pokémon.

Sobble looks terrible, I hate this style where you just put an oversized bobble head and some spaghetti limbs. Bring back the monster in poket monster.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

Nah, man. Neither of them. I'll likely go with Eevee and stick with the base form due to its utility.

 

[EmanueleBGN]

I don’t know yet, I want to see their evolutions first

 

[Noctosphere]

It doesn’t matter. They are all gonna be fighters .

is the first evolution legit?
I mean, pretty sure the last one isn't
but as for the first, I do am questioning
Also, are they really all going to be fighting type?

 

[proflayton123]

Personally I will choose Grookey for Sword and Sobble for Shield.

"I'm basically a head with legs" - Jigglypuff and Clefairy.
"I'm a Rat" - Rattata.
"I'm Weed" - Oddish
"I'm just a ball made of two colors" - Voltorb

You act like Pokemon hasn't ALWAYS had ridiculous and simple designs that seem lazy lol. You said "Bring back", but it's more like you are looking for something that never really was the standard.

 

[MK73DS]

I'll probably go for the water one if there are no Eevee in the game, and for the fire one if there is (I need a water type Pokémon and I love Vaporeon)

 

[Shrike]

Like in every other Pokemon game: Psyduck

 

[Spider_Man]

Think the innovation and designs of pokemon for a while now has been shit.

It's as if they have a randomozer that generates them.

 

[Kioku]

Sobble crew where you at?

 

[Owenge]

Sobble because he look like the picachu meme

 

[nxwing]

I wanna see what their final evolutions are gonna be but for now it's Scorbunny based on design alone. I may end up boxing my starter if I end up not liking any of them just like what I did in my Johto playthroughs.

 

[Holybond]

I feel as if there was no way to live up to the expectations of the fans. I personally don't know how I feel about them. I like the rabbit's design, but that's mainly because it reminds me of something from another show or cartoon that I can't remember.

 

[grossaffe]

Monkey is the only correct choice because monkey.

 

[Thunder Hawk]

The Trix rabbit, then box it, trade over a Mew from LGE, and Physic everything in the game.

They probably won't let you trade it over. Gotta buy the exclusive Sword/Shield joy-con...

 

[Axido]

I'll just leave this here:
