What animals do you want a starter based on?
>>59642563Idk all my favourite animals are covered already.Wooly Mammoth maybe.
A fire starter that’s any animal that doesn’t remotely resemble any on the zodiac. I like to watch zodiactards do mental gymnastics.
>>59642575this
>>59642575They already did it with Skeledirge.
>>59642575Didn’t this gen kill them all?All that’s left are retards arguing with each other as to if an alligator is a snake or a bull while no one ever listens to them again.Pretty good end, I’d say.
>>59642736The new cope is that they’re allowed to double up on animals so Charmander and Fuecoco are both dragons and Fennekin and Pombon are both dogs.
Grass chameleon starter would sound great on my book. Imagine it becoming a Grass/Dark assassin upon evolving.
>>59642730Cow
>>59642730yeah and the copium was hilarious.
>>59642778Cracker
I'm just tired of starters desu and I wish they'd do something more creative with them for a change. I think sticking to fire/water/grass for 10 gens has left them creatively bankrupWith the exception of greninja I haven't really liked a starter since gen 4
anything marsupial because GameFreak neglects them for some god forsaken reasonthere's so many marsupials of so much variety to work with yet the only ones we have are Komala and Kangaskhan, with the former literally just being a koala
>>59642780>UH YOU SEE "SERPENT" USED TO REFER TO ALL REPTILES SO THAT MEANS SKELEDIRGE IS LE SNAKE!!1"
>>59642563An antelope, preferably fire/electric.
Preferably one that would piss off Yawnfag the most.
>>59642563>What animals do you want a starter based on?Human women, nothing else
>>59642917Meowscarada already exists.
>>59642563Just to clean house on certain trios:>Grass crocodile/alligatorGrass/Electric with Electromorphisis>Fire turtle/tortoiseFire/Ground with Dry Skin>Water cat or monkey/apeWater/Ghost with Fur CoatBut as for new entirely new animals:>GrassElephant, Grass/Rock with Rock Head just feels right>FireCobra, Fire/Poison with Simple makes for hilarious Coil shenanigans>WaterCappybara, Water/Psychic with Unaware because we need fat Water starters again
Kinda surprising there still isn't a platypus pokemon
>>59642575>>59642730>>59642778>>59642780>>59642810>Crocodile Facts>• Bull: The term used for an adult male crocodile (also used for alligators, whales, and various large mammals).>• Cow: The term used for an adult female crocodile.
>>59643150"Bull" and "cow" are used for more than just crocodiles, bub.
Zodiacfags fucking lost
>>59643160Now I challenge you to explain to me how that matters here.
>>59643168My Zodiac sign is the ugly clown crocodile.
>>59643358you lost
>>59642563Otter, but don't fuck it up this time
>>59643385
>>59642563>FireSnake or a Spider>GrassElephant or a Ram>WaterAbyssal fish or Mollusk
Grass deerFire snakeWater polar bearFor an Ireland-based region, they could be a druid (Grass/Fairy), dragon (Fire/Poison), and viking (Water/Fighting) respectively.
>Inbred retards can't deal with a based af big-cock croc known as The Zodiac KillerLol, lmao even
>59643471For a concept to kill a theme, it has to kinda be utterly disparate to the theme it's supposedly killing, not propagating it by adhering to the theme.You fuckers decided it needed to ONLY be the chinese zodiac and claiming it was dead in Gen 2, despite Game Freak continually marking Cyndaquil as part of the pokémon rodent groups, but given they added a croc, which is part of an eastern zodiac, I propose they're using ALL eastern animal zodiacs for inspiration. Why else would they add a croc, then go right back to playing it "straight" otherwise? I mean, they broke the grass starter cold-blooded pattern and haven't gone back to make a cold-blooded critter for a grass starter since. Bit odd they run back to the zodiac, unless they see it as never having left the theme.
>>59643385>STILL pushing her laughably small poll as if it means a fuck outside a laughably small forum of manchildrenWe all know it was better than the duck, but please stop acting like that means everyone gave a fuck for it beyond that.
Grass : BearFire : SnakeWater : Goat
>>59643496>they broke the grass starter cold-blooded patternThat wasn't the pattern.
why do we need animal starters? give me Blastoise but skip out on the turtle bullshit just start with a tank that turns into a megazord
>>59643496>all this retarded cope Wrong. The theory was always CHINESE zodiac, Cyndaquil and Fennekin were already massive stretches that only work if you except Japs are so stupid they don’t now what a mouse is, or what the difference between a fox and a dog, but in no world is has a crocodile ever been part of the CHINESE zodiac. Of a pattern gets broken that badly that implies there was never a pattern in the first place
>>59643502There must be some statistical fuckery going on, most of thaws are fodder mons at best. No way in fuck anyone gives a shit about alcremie
>>59643496>grass starter cold-blooded patternI thought the pattern was "Grass reptile starters"
>>59643160Does that mean we'll get a fire frog starter?
>>59643752Again, you bastards are setting your own headcanons on this shit and screaming "I-I-IT D-DOESN'T C-C-C-C-COUNT" because it does in fact uphold the theme of a fire starter based off a zodiac animal, regardless what faggot children want to say otherwise. The only time they stuck to the chinese Zodiac was when they thought they were only going to get two releases and wanted to make an animal rep for the entire calendar before the end of the show. Staggeringly enough, after getting contracted for further iterations, they suddenly leaned into the fire starters being creatures that appeared on a zodiac. Up to and past Skeledirge, because an eastern people considered it part of their Zodiac, giving further scope for making them (as no offence, save going bipedal, there's a fuckload of animal reps that are kinda superfluous due to "fire animal same as zodiac" existing (hence why Pombon's becoming a shonen superhero, to contrast the shitter arcanine, why Incineroar became a hell pro wrestler, to contrast diaper beam cat). Plus adding more zodiac templates increases the odds they won't be predicted as they dislike being seen as such and hate having their new reveal be overshadowed by leaks (cf the entirety of Gen 7's reveal cycle being leaked in large part prior to every official release leading to corocoro et al having their access to info changed to after Game Freak/Pokéon reveal videos air).Until they create a fire starter that definitively does not resemble any animal in ANY zodiac, the theory still lives. Because as the series expanded,so too has the creators view on what can and can't become a pokémon (wild how out of all the non-chinese zodiac animals to make for Gen 9's fire starter, they still ended up with one from a zodiac instead of a fire stick insect or some shit).
