Picking Rowlet as the starter in SM/USUM is the ONLY correct and canon option. Otherwise, the masked wrestler would not get the masked wrestler Pokémon.
Canon
Yes Anon, the grass starter is always the canon option, we know
>>55784547Funny, I was thinking about making a thread about this too.Sobble is also the only correct option in SS (sadly) because it makes HOP have the RABBIT pokemon who is always hopping. And Fuecoco in SV is the correct one because it's the only way the pompadour guy gets the starter with a pompadour too.
>>55784560The only starter that fits Shauna and her chipmunk teeth is the grass starter. So Fennekin is the canon option in XY.
>>55784586Nah that's a cope, many characters started having chipmunk teeth around that time, the best you could possibly say to link them together is that Chespin and Shauna are both brown skinned, which is a weak as fuck similarity
>>55784605>many charactersshe's the only one who gets a starter based on your choice other than calem/serena
>>55784584>because it makes HOP have the RABBIT pokemon who is always hoppingAnd because he looks up to his brother so much who has a fire-type starter.
>>55784620Doesn't change the fact the chipmunk teeth isn't a Shauna thing, it's just something characters have nowadays. It's like saying that since Hau has green hair he must have Rowlet. No, that's just part of the animu aesthetic.
>>55784547Mudkip is the only correct choice in Hoenn because its typing of water/ground is literally the theme of gen 3 and the typing of the main legendaries. And it’s the only one whose mega’s ability relies on the weather condition, also a theme of gen 3.
>>55784732Literally every modern depiction of Brendan gives him Treecko bro
>>55784586OMG NO COPE DETECTEDTHE WHITE RACE CAN WAITSEXO NOW!
>>55784547>Masked wrestler?
>>55784783Then the MC is May I guess
>>55784838Professor Kukui is the Masked Royal
>>55784986Proof?
>>55785002He uses the same Rockruff from the catching tutorial during the Battle Royal battle as the Masked Royal.
>>55785018How do you know it's the same? There's plenty of Rockruffs around.
>>55784949>vaginalollmao, even
>>55784986Heacanon
>>55784547In BW the starter that fits Bianca the most is Tepig, so Oshawott is the canon choice.
>>55784584To me it makes more sense for Leon to have Cinderacs cause of their soccer theme. But that makes him have two fire starters so that's kinda dumb too... Not sure.>And Fuecoco in SV is the correct one because it's the only way the pompadour guy gets the starter with a pompadour too.Correct, and Nemona gets Meowscarada which fits great to her design wise cause of her green hair strands.
>>55785410Everyone in SWSH dresses as a soccer player, not just Leon.
Canon starters are dumb. Only canon ones are the ones that fit my personal headcanon.
>>55785410See >>55785546 Also if you pick Sobble Leon gets Rillaboom, who is perfect for hyping up his real ace, CharizardMeanwhile Hop picks future Cinderace because he dreams of being a star like Leon
>>55785184That makes sense, she's a braphog that farts and you can light them on fire easily.
>>55785070I can’t imagine Serena not having a mother called Grace. At least that vagina has to be a main character.
>>55785773You know the boy is named after calmness and the girl after serenity, right? It's literally the same shit, "Grace" being the mother fits them bothIt's like how gen 5 calls them Touya and Touko both from "tou", "to fight"
>>55786148Serene Grace
>>55786157Is this really your argument?
>>55784547Mom has a cat so you pick the matching cat.
>>55786222It's a very good argument desu.
Reminder that Kukui isn’t the final boss in the Ultra games and Hau has Decidueye in the anime.Incineroar is the canon option for Ultra Sun and Elio’s canon team is in the Rainbow Rocket promo art
>>55784547>muh other charactersI'll never pick Cyndaquil and I'll never pick Rowlet
>>55784586>>55784620Froakie is the canon option for picking Calem in an X playthrough, so Shauna’s Fennekin can be specially fixed to being female
>>55785410>>55785686I’d never pick Grookey since having Leon double dip fire Pokemon is extremely lame.Having Sobble as the lonely one picked last by the champion makes more narrative sense
>>55784732>>55784783>>55784949Sapphire version, pick May, choose Torchic.Brendan will have Mudkip and May gets Blaziken like in the anime and merch
>>55786605Interesting. Unrelated to the topic on hand, but in USUM Hau's Popplio will always be female too.
>>55786676>old anime pic>"pick the non canon MC"Nah, Norman has a son who picked Treecko
>>55786568>Hau has Decidueye in the anime.irrelevant, it's a completely different continuity> promo artirrelevant, promo arts are never consistent
>>55786605>>55786689That's GF admitting that those evolution lines are meant to be female and their current 7/1 male to female gender ratio is just to fit in with the other starters.
