What do you like about Starmie
It's design and shiny and movepool and the anime episode and uhh everything top20 mon for sure
>>56542021That it's like a giant shuriken and spins to attack
>>56542021the french voicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aZ7bgo4Bg8
>>56542054Staryu's voice is better
>>56542063no.
>>56542063What does french staryu sound like?
>>56542021i love starmie competitively. it's so cool that it could be an offensive powerhouse or an obnoxious stall machine. of course it got powercrept eventually but at least it got a some new toys like flip turn
>>56542054Why
>>56542054>YouTube kidsFuck off
>>56542131You won't believe it when you find out who pokemon target audience is.
>>56542021That it goes “HIYAH!”
>>56542149nostalgic millennials?
>>56542178nah, they don't consume as much as you think
>>56542178Real audience and target audience are different things. That's one of the few things Digimon has going for it: the series has generally grown up with the audience, at least as far as the games are concerned.
>>56542021When I was a dumb baby I downloaded NetBattle and got absolutely mollywhopped by a Starmie, which my ten year old brain considered a totally unremarkable Pokemon. Ever since then I've just sorta thought it was rad and wound up using it a bunch during the brief time I played comp Pokemon.Besides it's got a glowing crystal core and shoots thunderbolts and ice, it's pretty sick.
>>56542174That's Staryu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AnkGLQVXCY
>>56542021I like that anon that really likes starmie
boltbeam
I always liked it. Starmie has that gen one strangeness about it. If it was made today it would have a smiley face and super hero tights.
>>56542860Even when happy he screams violently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIux0jviSGU
>>56542021>Sick ass alien design>Amazing movepool>Good typing>Good stats>Kino voices in the animeWhat is there not to like?
>>56543129Like Ditto and Machamp?
>>56543191No, Starmie is based on ultraman, therefore if it was made today it would be the gayest shit imaginable, like a literal yellow cartoon star with a wooper face and tights...
>>56542021give water shuriken.
>>56542021nothing because it's literally my mom's starfish
>>56543195Doubt that would be the case.
>>56543129What’s so strange? No eyes?!
>>56542021It's fucking cool
simple but elegant design
Starmie has always been satisfying to use. He can recover, rapid spin, and has great coverage. Love starmie
>>56542021It’s a nice Pokémon
>>56542021>fast>good special attack>movepool that other mons would kill for>cool design with good colors>usually good animations, with the back spinning and all thatif illuminate was swapped with a better ability like regenerator or somethng that fit it as a starfish or cosmic force then it would easily be in the top 3 gen 1 mons
>>56544200Illuminate not boosting beam moves pr lowering evasion makes me seethe, like dod keen eye really need a clone
>>56543338Unironically yes. Name another pokemon line with no eyes. Roggenrola is the only one besides some of the ultra beasts, which are deliberately weirder and still have mostly humanoid shapes anyway.
>>56542021the SPIT set
>>56542860It's funny how 2 of misty's pokemon change voice genders when they evolve staryu goes from a masculine voice to a feminine one and it's backwards for goldeen and seaking
>>56542021I like how symmetrical Starmie is.
>>56542021Water/Psychic that can learn Thunderbolt and Ice Beam
>>56544455Zubat has no eyes, golbat and crobat obviously do though
>>56545036Let me rephrase then. No eyes or face. Zubat still has a face with ears and a mouth. It doesn't look alien or inorganic at all unlike Staryu and Starmie. Roggenrola just has a gaping hole instead of a face, and Boldore is somewhat similar but has more bilateral symmetry that vaguely resembles a nose and eyes. Gigalith just straight-up has eyes and a mouth.
>>56542021SurfPsychic Ice BeamThunderbolt
>>56543129I think if Starmie was made in modern gens it'd be psychic/rock or steel since nowadays lives in water doesn't equal water type like before. Also golduckfags like to say Starmie doesn't seem like a psychic type but imo it fits that type more than it does water, it looks more like an ancient mystical artifact than it does a living organic being
>>56542021its a really good special sweeper with a nice dual typing and coverage. otherwise I wouldn't have really cared for it, but in animation its quite interesting which makes up for its pretty basic design
One of the greatest and deserves some buffs in the next game it’s in.
>>56542021He spins and says HIYAH, that's pretty cool. Probably the genesis of the unnecessarily-pushed Water type power level, for better or worse- mon has a learnset like a Normal type.>>56542195>the series has generally grown up with the audienceI'm so sorry to hear Digimon fans are all dead, though that explains a lot.
>>56546129Anything with BoltBeam access is automatically good.
>>56542021
>>56545055It's their ears believe it or not
>>56543129Is this bubblebeam or power gem
>>56548655Maybe Signal Beam?
>>56542021Fuck this cunt, GF really thought it was a good idea to have the SECOND GYM leader's ace be a ridiculously fast FEP with Icebeam so it can OHK your Ivysaur.
>>56542075here you gohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVCeSJRpErA
>>56542021Starmie feels like one of those gen 1 mons gamefreak inexplicably hates.
>>56550232it certainly didn't get much love in the anime, either
>>56549177Starmie doesn't have ice beam
>>56542021>looks cool>neat typing>Bolt BeamShame the anime made Misty's a jobber.
>>56550809It's also Lumineon 's favorite prey kek. In new snap it gets bullied by Tentacruel and Lumineon
>>56542021I’m a little confused how Staryu/Starmie were allegedly some Ultraman designs. Its just the color timer I guess. Starmie was rad in gen 1/2, never had a chance to use it much since then though.It would be neat if it had a mega. Give it a design like Pestar, two stars holding hands.
Staryu and Starmie are pretty cool, I'd like to use it in playthroughs without trading but just about the only game where you can get one early enough without going out of your way is GSC/HGSS
>>56553860pretty art
>>56542021Alien
>>56542021Looks weird
>>56542021I wish there were more (and better) cards for it, artwise. It has some decent cards, but none good.
that it does not have the horrible tube feet of real starfish
>>56552529why just WHY
>>56553611looks like puddy lol
>>56543813and very pretty
>>56563915I like the red and purple but this would of been so cool
Did mega starmie get leaked
>>56542021Yummy
