Got 'em mixed up but yea. Incineroar is definitely not my favorite final form for a furry feline. I far prefer the Fenniken to Delphox foxy fire as my favorite.

If Capcom isn't already making a Monster Hunter for the Switch for the sole purpose of having a Pokemon event that gives you a special Sowrd and Shield then someone is loving up.

I think they’re all cute (except the despicable monkey) but I can see why someone would feel let down or unimpressed by how samey they are

He decided playing Tiger Mask was more beneficial than cuteness. So far, it paid off enough to get him into Smash and more attention than his rival starters combined in the anime. Rowlet got all the merchandising deals, though.

That's not balanced at all! Fairy beats both of the other two!

IIRC the only other set of three types with the exact same matchups among themselves as the existing starter trio is fire - rock - steel

Except neither Rock or Steel resist themselves and both resist Normal, which would make fighting either one with the basic moves a nightmare in early game while also having a huge advantage over Fire.

You poor blind fools, Scorbunny is clearly going to be Fire/Bugs. :colbert:


For real though I'm hoping for Water/Dragon on Sobble, maybe Grass/Psychic for Grookey with the stick being a wand and pretty much anything except Fire/Fighting for Scorbunny.

Could be, but if you watch the trailer, it's used as a drumstick.

New starters are all looking cute! I think the fire bunny is my favorite right now, but I'll be honest: final form is way more important than first form to me. I'm not backing anyone for sure until I see the end results.

Kinda bummed we're not getting Pokemon Brazil, but I'm sure I'll learn to love Pokemon England.

It just doesn't fit. You could try and stretch Cyndaquil to being a hedgehog except that it's original japanese name is a reference to Porcupines (yamaarashi, lit. wasteland in mountain (idk)) and not hedgehogs (harinezumi, lit. needle rodent)
cyndaquil is The Fire Mouse Pokemon
