While it has traits of other animals (the crest looks more like that of a basilisk or newt than a chameleon's casque), sobble clearly took most of its inspiration from chameleons. Since no chameleons are semi aquatic, this is our first water starter not based on a semi-aquatic animal. That's pretty interesting.
Sobble is the first water starter not primarily based on a semi-aquatic animal

Camden Lopez
... It looks like an axolotl, not a chameleon.
Lucas Gray
I guess, but sobble looks too generic for me. Starter pokemon should stand out from regular mons, compared to the other two hes under-designed and has less personality.
Brayden Gray
are you retarded
Henry Baker
Are you?
Xavier Powell
Mudkip already happened.
Alexander Rogers
>weird chameleon feet
>curled tail
>turns invisible
>name in several other languages make reference to it being a chameleon
please explain why you think it's an axolotl
we're not discussing mudkip
Wyatt Wood
>retarded chameleon fags get btfo
Based
Blake Lee
sobble shares absolutely zero traits with an axolotl other than walking on four legs and also mudkip already exists and is blatantly an axolotl
Jonathan Ward
The crest makes me think basilisk lizard, but the curled tail and T-feet make me think chameleon.
Christopher Roberts
I hope he has a sick typing.
Elijah Peterson
>That's pretty interesting.
No its fucking not
These new starters look like parody cartoon network characters. Garbage designs
Eli Morales
>seven generations
>still no bug/dragon
Eigth time's the charm right?
Isaac Brown
Wait, was Spiritomb somehow not rock/ghost despite being a literal haunted rock?
Carter Wilson
Spiritomb is Dark/Ghost actually.
Blake Anderson
Charizard is an honorary dragon
Easton Reyes
I bet we'll see at least 3 of these unused type combos this gen, look at how many gen 7 cleaned out with stuff like salandit and crabominable
Easton Reed
>fighting/ground
Seriously? Could have sworn there was one.
Leo Morales
>electric/fighting
they fucked up a gold chance with Zeraora, he's literally an electric Lucario, why the fuck he's not fighting?
Ryan Sullivan
they should add Gorochu in the game and make him electric dark
Wyatt Parker
Ugly.
Fuck Gamefreak.
Tyler Gonzalez
>Mesopotamian golem to cover rock/ghost
>literal dragonfly to cover bug/dragon
>syringe mon to cover steel/poison
>burning snowman to cover fire/ice
There's plenty of possibilities out there.
Isaiah Phillips
>>Mesopotamian golem to cover rock/ghost
>>literal dragonfly to cover bug/dragon
Both of these concepts already exist and do not have that typing
Cooper Gray
I fucking thought Zebstrika was Electric/Dark...
Xavier Robinson
sobble is actually based on the abstract concept of "our nigga"
Juan Baker
Golurk I'll concede, but when I say literal dragonfly, I meant dragonfly as a pun, like it's a literal half-dragon half-fly.
Jonathan Anderson
Why do all the starters need be fire, water or grass. Would be such a sin to change it up.
Thomas Young
>there's no dark fairy yet
>no biblical reference burning bush fire/grass
Kinda shocked
Nolan Turner
>Spiritomb is Dark/Ghost actually.
the fuck
Levi Walker
The odd keystone is an item not a pokemon
Aaron Jenkins
I just want an Ice/Bug to mock endlessly
Mason Allen
>No Australia Region
>No Snek starter
>No Fighting/Ground Kangaroo
it hurts, not to mention
>Region based on Hawaii
>Yet no Fire/Grass Tiki
>Or even a tiki-mon at all
>Instead we have the indigenous hawaiian koala bear
Luis Rivera
Final form
Ethan Long
>No Snek starter
Then what the fuck is Snivy?
Julian Flores
Not until gen 13 when this thing gets filled out. Trust me, I'm sick of it too.
Kevin Cruz
Fire ox would be incredibly based
Jackson Harris
Flygon?

I meant more so for the Fire type Zodiac thing, assuming it isn't just a weird string of coincidences. Snivy's cool, though.
>Snake, Ox, Horse, and Sheep are left
Sheep and Snake would be cool. Don't think I'd be too crazy hyped for an Ox or a horse. They'd inevitably end up as a Minotaur and Rapidash-ripoffs, probably.
Alexander Davis
Fire sneak could be pretty cool as well.
Imagine a boa that is ablaze.
Christopher Cooper
Isn't that supposed to be an antlion mixed with a dragon? I guess it's kinda the same, but I dunno. I was picturing something a little sillier, like a dragon with a house-fly's wings and compound eyes.
Parker Morris
It's a fucking salamander you spergs
Jace Robinson
>this fucking retarded
Can I meet your parents? Like how did they not get you diagnosed with some sort of mental disability in your growing years? You obviously dont live on your own, so maybe they are waiting to let you know you need a carer to live on your own? im intrigued as fuck.
Isaac Hernandez
You mean Wooper.
Jackson Rodriguez
Jokingly its name is the same pun you were going for. Though technically speaking, Flygon does have eyeshields in mimicry of a fly plus antennae.
>Isn’t that supposed to be an antlion mixed with a dragon?
It has more in common with its dragonfly pre-evo than Trapinch. It’s probably the most erratic evolution line in the series really.
Ethan Long
I've seen many people claim this and not a single one back up their claims or refute
Liam Jenkins
this is the worst starter of the 3
the eyes and overall face are just ugly
