if sobble really is going for the loch ness monster then im hoping for dragon/water because thats such a baller combination
Scorbunny's Japanese name has an electricity pun in it, so Fire/Electric is a real possibility.
Grookey
>Grass/fire
Scorbunny
>Fire/water
Sobble
>Water/grass
it would be cool it they did something like this
Ayyy I’m okay with that. Tbh I’m okay with anything that’s not fire fighting
barabait, edgelord, and 87.5% male waifumon
>Grookey might have a cheerleader theme based on its translated names, making Grass/Fairy a good pick
>Scorbunny is probably Fire/Electric
>Sobble could end up being Water/Dragon to reference Nessie and/or Welsh dragon imagery
It keeps them all in type advantage against one another.
What's the pun?
It's Hibanī, which is similar to "Hibana", the Japanese word for "spark". It also has Hi for "Fire", and banī sounds like "Bunny", so it's got layers to it..
Grass/Rock
Fire/Fighting
Water/Poison
These are facts.
That's pretty clever
Why does Normal have weaknesses?
Why does the sobble look like penis envy pokke style?
>A Rabbit Pokemon that is always running about, bursting with energy.
>bursting with energy
It's going to be shocking if it's anything other than Fire/Electric, honestly.
Can someone remind me how Gamefreak handled the reveals of new Pokémon between the Direct and the game coming out in November?
I can’t remembwr if they showed the final forms right away or if it was a month or 2 before the games were released.
Because it gets one weakness in exchange for an immunity.

Grass nomal

Fire fighting

Water poison
>Grookey
Grass/Psychic

>Sobble
Water/Ground
It only has one weakness. Fighting. Imagine an average joe fighting a boxer.
>grookey being ruined and turned into generic fairy mon
Fuck this. If this happens I just won't use any of them. The other starters are absolute garbage and the's only good one, but if his other evos suck then it's over.
Thia gives me hope, maybe the nightmare will finally end.
Grass/Flying because he turns into a goku with a flying cloud.
>psychic monkey
we just had oranguru nigga
>the loch ness monster
If there's one thing that would break my grassfaggery, it'd be fucking NESSIE
>its translated names
What are these names?
It's got "pep" and "tempo" in its German and French names respectively. It's also Grass's turn to be the waifumon based on Gen 6's being Fire and Gen 7's being Water.
Face it, you're getting grass pompoms starting with the 2nd evolution.
Energizer Bunny
see
>pep = waifu
What a retard. If anything this makes it more likely to just be a boring grass/normal marching band pokemon.
I don't see how these lead to it being automatically a cheerleader.
Pep rallies.
sheltered retard detected
have you literally never been to a pep rally when you were in school? you know why they call those pep rallies right? i'll give you some time
make the Rabbit Fire/Normal and have a HA that negates having to wait a turn for moves that have a turn to wait. Make Giga Impact great on one Pokemon, please.
Yeah and you know what's at a pep rally? A fucking band with drummers you moron. Christ you're stupid. The only other thing the stick shown in the trailer could be seen as is a baton or something similar but it was used in a drum fashion and the names hint at it getting drum-like features.
Okay, but pep just means energy and high spirits in general
>pep = cheerleader
>not the general focus of increasing morale which is the responsibility of everyone involved, including the MARCHING BAND
imagine being this retarded holy fuck dude
if scorbunny is fire-electric then can we please get it something other than wild charge or thunderpunch?
that shit's getting old
thunder kick
How about an exclusive soccer based move that has the effect of being both fire and electric type?
>Always running
Fire/Electric Final
Calling it.
Anyone else hoping there's no designated waifumon like in Gens 1,3,4 and 5?
yes meganium counts, you know what i mean by waifumon
Monkey's gonna be a marching drummer. Grass/Normal or Grass/Psychic depending on what they wanna do with the drums.
Rabbit's gonna be a football player with emphasis on speed. Fire/Electric.
Lizard, not sure. If it's nessie as people speculate, I'd guess Water/Dark or Water/Dragon.
pls no unique moves, the other physical electric types want some love (fuck you plasma fists, fuck you hard)
serperior is definitely a waifumon if meganium is
>Fire/Electric
Fucking dropped.
Water/Dragon it is then.
Take your bets on which one's gonna be shilled as the "cool" one and the one that Ash will use in the anime. I'm going all-in on the Rabbit.
>confidential
stop
>Gen 1
Whuh?
These sound the most plausible to me, although I think monkey's gonna be pure Grass
this has already been proven fake moron
Scorchungus
Why are ya'll so hostile?
The artist snuck their signature in at almost indistinguishable contrast just so everyone could laugh at you idiots.
I dunno, Serperior seems way more gender neutral than Meganium to me, maybe it's the flower, the whole Chikorita line just being pretty feminine overall and how the anime portrayed them
Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur
No waifus, just pocket monsters
I hate this so fucking much, looks like a furry fetish OC
pokemon is for children play a game for men like homeworld
Imagine being so sheltered and stupid that you can only associate pep rallies with cheerleaders. Imagine being so stupid that you ignore the fact that Grookey is being hinted at having a drummer aesthetic in his own reveal trailer and that things like "pep" or "tempo" would only reinforce this fact.
Seriously, think for one second you helpless little idiot. What the fuck does tempo have to do with cheering and, more-so how does that give it any more credence to that being Grookey's aesthetic than a fucking drummer?
>B-B-B-B-B-B-BUT MUH PATTERNS
Sad autist.
for me it's because they are putting a 3ds game on a home console and are going to get away with it because of apologists
Aside from being fake this is the dumbest looking shit, it's even dumber than NuPokemon designs. It's straight up retarded.
>almost indistinguishable
Its quite easy to spot actually.
Imagine being so butthurt you angrily respond to the same post multiple times.
How does this sound for the scorbunny final evo?
HP: 72
Atk: 118
Def: 64
Sp-A: 86
Sp-D: 68
Spe: 126
Once you know it's there.
What does that have to do with getting really fucking aggressive when guessing type combos and themes of pokemon?
>The Japanese word for all small fire, suitable for a starter, is an electricity pun.
I feel like a brainlet but I've never been able to judge a pokemon based on stats. What are the benchmark numbers for high or low etc?
its very fast, passable attack that needs good moves to back it up, useless special attack and a very frail bulk
Imagine an average Joe being lit on fire. Or electrocuted. Or poisoned. Or hit by a boulder.
I think he'll be fine as long nobody punches him.
We need so many more edits
Normal attacks are innate untrained abilities
Fighting moves represent training
the idea behind it is that a trained martial artist can take advantage of the opposition's lack of training
Grookey is likely going to be a drummer or cheerleader with a baton, so likely grass/fairy either way.
Scorbunny being fire/electric is likely as well, and would be the most interesting to me.
Sobble like others have said will likely be water/dragon with a loch ness theme.
Either way these all seem like cool type combinations to me.
Nowdays 100 for defensive stats and 110 for offensive, but a good typing, moves and ability can do wonders, just look at Clefable nothing close to 100 but is top tier.
lol imagine being this seething
what a pitiful little creature you are, try not being a retarded mongrel sometime
>scorbunny
Fire/Porn
and a bad typing and movepool can hurt you badly
170 attack and nothing to do with it
but it's a chameleon, not some dragon looking thing.
why would a drummer be fairy
that's all pokemon ever
what would YOU make it evolve into then?
Grass/Fairy I think they may do like a druid monkey
Fire/Electric Pun in the japanes name + "energetic pokemon" and people voicing disdain for fire/fight
Water/Ghost maybe?
I'd never be able to comprehend such a turn of events
I never got why people think that proves anything when, even without image editing, you can straight up toggle whether or not any post counts a (You).
Grass/Psychic
Fire/Normal
Water/Ghost
Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't
>a psychic monkey
>when we had oranguru last gen
why fire normal
just because it's white?
You're assuming chameleon because of the camouflage. Even if that's what they are going for, you could still say that's just a nod for the fact that Nessie hasn't been found after all these years. It could be a Nessie evolution with some bullshit lore saying it can camouflage itself, which is why it's treated as a legend.
There is no indication that Grookey would be a cheerleader, and with the translated names, all signs point to him being a drummer. It was even hinted in the trailer. Not sure where you're getting fairy type from.
Absolute cancer choices, OP.
He regenerates grass and has a staff-like weapon. He'll be either psychic or fighting.
An autisic guy created the series don’t think too much into it
it has chameleon feet and a chameleon head you fucking idiot
I like Grookey the best, and Sobble looks good too. I hope Grookey ends up being Grass/Ground, or Grass/Rock. But most of all I hope none of them tutn into a slutty waifumon.
I'm assuming it's a chameleon because it has fucking chameleon feet and a chameleon tail, ON TOP of being able to turn invisible. Nigger.
No, really, am I missing something or did people forget that "spark" is a type of fire. With the kanji for fire in it.
can't wait to see what this thing evolves into but im inclining more with grookey
>Grass/fighting
>Fire/Poison
>Water/flying
being able to turn invisible or at least difficult to see would actually make sense for anything nessie based
how can people unironically like sobble, it's atrociously ugly
almost as bad as popplio
Fairy = energetic musician. Drummer = fairy type.
>Chameleon feet
>Chameleon tail
>assuming
grookey better evolve into a punk rock drummer
lol that's really grasping
might as well just say any pokemon can be fairy
Why does water always get the shittiest starters?
this, it doesn't confirm electric type at all
Scorbuny is obviously fire/fighting. Literally gonna be Blaziken 2.0
because its gonna be another 75% male fairy waifumon
Greninja was the only good one in gen 6. Unfortunately its line is inconsistent, but all evos are still good.
Blastoise and Feraligatr are best starters of their gen
Well yeah, any pokemon CAN be fairy. Entirely about how they are written.
don't worry, it's final evo will be better as always. It's a chameleon after all, it's bound to be at least a LITTLE cool looking.
It's used for electrical sparks even in Japanese too. That combined with the description that it's "bursting with energy" and general Energizer Bunny memes have people thinking Electric.
The real truth is people are desperate to find any reason to believe it won't be fire/fighting.
>because its gonna be another 75% male fairy waifumon
You mean 4.0
>Grookey is likely going to be a drummer or cheerleader with a baton, so likely grass/fairy either way
>Sobble like others have said will likely be water/dragon with a loch ness theme.
what the actual fuck am I reading...?
Why are there so many goddamn monkey pokemon? It's almost as bad as generic rodents.
>he didn't get the joke
jokes are supposed to funny though
Sobble - Water / Rock
Reason: Final form will resemble a lochness monster and will play off the living fossil motif.
Scorbunny - Fire / Fighting
Reason: It's final form will be a jackrabbit/ kangaroo and will kick box.
Grookey - Grass / Dark
Reason: Evil fuckin monkey. Swiftry vibes.
>what would YOU make it evolve into then?
a blue, pokemon version of Sting Chameleon
oh yeah well hows this for a joke *shits in your mouth*
Fuck you for doing 126 speed you minmaxing faggot. It would be lucky to break 110 speed, let alone hitting 125
The Irish have a traditional drum that uses a bone as the club. My guess is the monkey evolves into something with a bone club in one hand and a drum shield in the other. It'll be grass/rock or grass/ground
>mischievous chimp
But he's clearly a monkey, not an ape.
if it's a fire/electric type then 126 would not be minmaxing at all
it would make it the fastest starter sure, but it gives off a "fastest starter" vibe
fuck off monkeys are based
>Grookey
Grass/Dark based on description.
Grass/Rock based off the trailer (Grookey is based off a drummer as he used his stick to bang on a rock).
>Scorbunny
Fire/Electric based off color palette.
Fire/Fighting based off his big feet (Scorbunny is clearly based on a soccer/football player and will need to use his feet for kicking).
Fire/Fairy for the FIFA reference (FIre/FAiry; FI/FA)
>Sobble
Water/Dark (Sobble is based off tragedy theatre, and Dark is closer to "tragedy" than any other type).
The worst part about evo speculation is we come up with better shit than gamefreak does.
The rabbit has a lightning pun in its name so I'd be surprised if it wasn't fire /electric.
I think the nessy theory holds water because sobble is referred to as timid and preferring to hide.
I don't think people have ever gotten the final form evos right just from the starter forms. I remember last gen everyone thought popplio was going to evolve into a jester kind of thing but instead we got a waifumon.
The monkey will be a neanderthal-influenced marching drummer with a drum and a big club to use on the drum, the drum will act as its shield and the club as its weapon. Its typing will be Grass/Rock.
The rabbit will be another generic fire/fighting furbait piece of shit. Who cares.
The reptile will be pure water but its ability will let it change abilities on the fly.
They're just humans but lamer
if it's based of soccer then it's most certainly not going to be a fighting type
they flop around all the time
Grookey's JP name seems to imply a music theme, which would explain it tapping the stick.
Groovey Monkey
Faggot
what in the absolute FUCK is causing people to think Sobble will for whatever reason be based on the lochness monster? It's OBVIOUSLY a chameleon for christ sake. Did reddit say so or something?
kek
Likely the truth and makes a lot of sense? Reminds me of the people that refused to believe that Popplio was likely going to be part fairy due to the clown nose, and Litten was likely going to be part dark due to the shading on its fur. People on here argued over and over that clown noses have nothing to do with the fairy theme, and that Litten was going to be yet another fire fighting because "cat fights". It just makes the most sense, also the types match up with being weak or strong to each other. You DO know that IS A RULE right?
Grookey final evo will be Protree. It will have a baseball theme swinging trees at thrown rocks, have moves like hammer arm, rock throw, rock slide, wood hammer, bulk up, growth, and generally be a rock/grass version of Conceldurr
boring
>Scorbunny - Fire / Fighting
>Reason: It's final form will be a jackrabbit/ kangaroo and will kick box.
Like a Hitmonlee kicking type?
Maybe keep in mind the region has a influence on the starters?
HELLO KITTY LOOKING ASS POKEMINS
>lamer
>can climb trees like madmen
>have tails for swinging and grabbing things
nigga fuck you. Humans are lamer versions of monkeys, and that's a fact.
>baseball
>when the names hint at drumming
>when the game takes place in UK
you're a bit of an idiot huh
the worst part about evo is how they don't end up looking close to what they look on first stage, so just think of something unrelated to how they look and that sclose to how they'll look
More like whatever suggestions people hate the most will be the truth.
I've been seeing speculation on twitter that it'll be grass/fairy, fire/electirc, and water/ghost. I'm kind of digging those type combos, they're just unusual enough for me to like them.
Aren't humans literally apes?
>reddit spacing
>>>>>>>grookey could be a drummer or cheerleader so either way Grass/Fairy
WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT BE PART FAIRY IF IT'S A DRUMMER WHY NOT PART ROCK THE FUCK
GO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
It's a water-based monster that hides itself.
apes aren't monkeys
for one, apes don't have tails
>the region has a influence on the starters?
How does Robin Hood, Luchadore wrestlers and mermaids have anything to do with Hawaii?
Grass/sound (new type)
Fire/electric
Water/ghost
anyone who thinks grookey is a fairy is a retard
>he thinks a starter Pokemon will pick up the normal type
fucking what?
Charmander is a salamander that evolves into a dragon.
Pretty sure a water chameleon that stays hidden in the water (hmm just like a certain mysterious monster in lochness) could evolve into a dragon or dinosaur version of nessy. You little short sighted. Small minded goof ball. Get a fucking clue you little bitchy faggot. Fuck sake.
but the monkey has literally ZERO to believe it's going to be a fucking drummer of all things. It's got a staff, it's going to fight with it. And sobble makes no sense to be a dragon type or based on the lochness when it's not even anything remotely like a dinosaur. It's a chameleon. It climbs up trees for fuck's sake.
But chimps are apes. And Grookey is a chimp pokemon
Shy water reptile from a region based on the UK that can turn invisible. I think a Nessie inspired evo is unlikely just because we're not allowed to have good looking starters any more but I can see where they're coming from.
Grass/Rock - Monkey Marching Drummer
Fire/Electric - Rabbit Footy Player
Water/Ghost - Not as much to go on here but I think it's better than the dumb Nessie one. To me it makes more sense that a Pokemon that's shy in youth would grow up then use its cloaking powers to do cool ghost stuff, maybe even mischievously.
>A baboon
fucking based! I hope it's the actual outcome
Has a tail. Not an ape. Fuck you and fuck Pokemon Company.
>sound
fucking stop with this shit
sound is just too much of a specific thing to be a type
Why do the designs keep getting shittier and shittier? I haven't even finished the first Pokémon Moon (which I bought at midnight release) just because everything's ugly as fuck.
I know it's impossible because not having new Pokémon would affect sales but god damn, I just want to explore a new region with Pokémon from Gen 1-6 only so I don't have to deal with LOOKING at the abominations from Gen 7 and now 8. Fuck. I hate living.
SOON
Yes, perhaps something to that avail.
he's part fairy from all the fairy dust he snorting after every concert he plays
wtf would the sound type even be, what other pokemon would even have it other than like the exploud line or jigglypuff
The dumbest fucking idea I've seen so far in these threads and on the internet in general is that Grookey's final evo will be Grass/Rock LITERALLY only because he touched a rock with a stick once. Is this the brain power of the average redditor?
Sobble is going to be Water/Rock as a scaly Chameleon
Grooky is going to be a Grass/Physic Rafiki kind of pokemon
Scorbunny is going to be Fire/Fighting or Fire/Normal with a fireball that he kicks around as a sort of soccar/football player
not to mention how we got our samurai pokemon in the first region that was explicitly not based on japan and the ninja in france
Suddenly real boring when you get called out for being a faggot that tries to pass off other anons ideas as your own. You know this site doesn't have karma right?
I'm liking the idea that the evolution lines are going to be culture-based, seeing as we're in posh not-England:
>Grookey: Name is portmanteau of Groovy + Monkey. Carries around a stick, which could evolve into a drummer's stick. Grass/Psychic, because music can affect the mind. Represents "Music"
>Scorbunny: Name is portmanteau of Score + Bunny (also Scorch). Just look at the athletic frame and taped nose, dude's going to be a fast soccer player. Fire/Fighting or Fire/Electric. Represents "Sports"
>Sobble: Contains the word "Sob"; a word with connotations of emotion. If the culture theme holds true, then Sobble may evolve into a Shakespearean actor/dramatist lizard, with the chameleon form representing that he can easily change appearances (roles, costumes). Water/Dark, because tragedy is close to darkness. Represents "Theatrics"
>Fuck you
What did I do?
Grookey is
>Chimpep
>Ouistempo
Pep and Tempo give it some amount of rhythmic theming, along with it tapping on a stone in the reveal trailer.
Add to that the likelihood that Scorbunny is based on a soccer player and you've got at sports-theme going on, which a marching band drummer or a cheerleader would fit into.
Personally, if the sports theme holds up, I think Sobble's got a pretty goal-keeper looking pose. I wouldn't be surprised if they go for a whole reversal thing, with it starting off shy and wimpy and turning into the big tanky pokemon of the trio.
Scorbunny will likely be a football (soccer, not handegg) player. Not only does it like to run around and its feet are on fire, but Scor can also mean either "scorch" or "score".
I'm gonna call Fire/Ground.
>Fire/Fighting
Sorry, I meant Fire electric not fighting
fuck off gen 7 had some great pokemon.
>normal ice
anyone wants to be it's going to be a slow, defensive mon without recovery move?
>sound is just too much of a specific thing to be a type
Literally explain how the fuck when there's shit like ghost, bug, dragon, fairy and dark. Please do
You didnt choose Sobble for one
This. Trying to tie the starters into the region, while a cool idea, does not make your idea any more likely. If anything it makes it less likely since none of the starters in any of the games have had anything to do with their regions.
hello Shofu
Retards. Sobble is based off tragedy theatre, hence the name SOBble, We're getting some Shakespeare shit.
fuck is the tape stuck to hes fucking eyeballs
>gen 7 had some great pokemon
>some
And the rest were shit.
That's not the only thing you fat ugly retard. He's 100% going to be a drummer and I'd think/hope that he wouldn't just have a basic fucking drum and would have something like a rock to use.
It's certainly less dumb by far than "UHH UHH IT'S GONNA BE A FAIRY CHEERLEADER BECAUSE UHHH ME LIKE WAIFU AND UHHHHHHHHHH".
definitely one of the better mochups for a final evo I've seen.
I always judge a starter by how good/cool it would be to play as them in smash, since that's all smash is allowed to have anymore apparently.
But user, I did. I'm just talking about Grookey
the only ones that were good were passimian and oranguru
Or just an emo as fuck chameleon
that said there is the fact that the bunny is obviously a soccer player in an england region
He's going to be a goku-like character that fights with a baton.
Exactly. That's what I said. Chimps are apes.
We already had this thread faggot
>grookey
Grass/ground
>scorbunny
Fire/electric
>sobble
Water/flying
Chingling and Chimecho
they aren't even close to his eyeballs
Idiots.
Scorbunny running on gears
>Fire/Steel
Sobble turning invisible
>Water/Ghost
Grooky hitting a rock with a stick
>Grass/Rock
There were visual cues during this direct and you're all so dumb and delusional about getting your perfect fantasy starter type you ignored them. Screencap this so I can revel in being right later.
I think it's stupid to lock sobble into any one category, it's the one that could go into the most different directions. The monkey being a musician and the rabbit going into sports seem really likely, but there's so many options for sobble.
>want to get back in to pokemon
>these are the new starters
How hard would it be to get my nigga bulbasaur in this day and age?
>what other pokemon would even have it
Not that user, but I could see:
>Chatot
>Audino
>Meloetta
>Pikipek line
Only like 20 pokemon got retconned into Fairy, so just the obvious ones put you halfway there already. Personally, I don't give a shit about Sound ever being a thing, I'm mostly chiming in to chime in. Oh, that reminds me.
>Chimecho line
It hasn't even been 2 days but the art and memes alone have made Gen 8 worth it.
So like every region?
Keep in mind the UK had a ban on electric guitars and punk rock musoc for a really long time.
Grookey being music... Related... Idk maybe some tie into evil music.
Why the Luxray family wasn't Electric/Dark baffles me
Then why do his other translated names hint at things like "pep" and "tempo". That was literally the whole point of them even showing him hitting the rock in the first place, to hint that he's a little drummer boy.
>Grass/Rock
>Rock is a genre of music
Holy fucking shit
Then idk what anons prob was.
consider that nowadays artist race to post some meme worthy picture of the latest videogame/series trend for relevancy as fast as they can
For the first time since gen 2, all of the starters will remain mono-type.
I'm not saying you're wrong since I can see some evidence for it in the design. That being said it's just as likely that the Scor- just meant Scorch and it evolves into a generic Fire/Fighting type since Gamefreak are hacks.
see you managed to double down on this retardation by saying Scorbunny is Fire/Steel literally only because he touched a metal gear once. Fuck of with your fucking brain dead """ideas"""
At least sobble makes sense somewhat.
I feel like if they were going to introduce sound type they would've done it earlier, it's too late now.
>noivern
>primarina
>kommo-o
and more would deserve sound type but won't trade one of their existing types for it
forgot about the whismur line
because nothing about it is actually evil or mischievous
if anything the electric/dark should have been electrode with it's whole mimic, blows up for shits'n giggles gimmick
you know hitting things to make a sound doesn't always mean drums. He isn't ACTUALLY going to be carrying around a fucking drum-set.
And? We had Pansage too.
They already said the Exploud line, so I wasn't going to reiterate.
This. Chimps don't need tails at all.
UK's post ww2 ban on electric guitars.
Punk rock & the sex pistols being apart of uk history.
Aw shit.
Grass Steel type.
Heavy metal... Iron maiden black sabbath
pretty sure GF is well aware nobody wants another fire-fighting type and their recent starters have all had unique typings, no reason why they would break up that streak
he can summon the drumset or maybe his knees will be drums
And Charmender is a salamander.
Whatever you say user. He just has a stick and has names alluding to musical themeing for no reason. Keep living in your fantasy retardland as long as it pleases you.
Don't underestimate GF, user. Remember gen 5 when the Timburr line had a 2x4, an I-beam and two motherfucking concrete pillars?
>Heavy metal
Grass/Dragon confirmed.
Finally a wife suitable for my man Marvin.
He's probably going to be Grass/Psychic and will use his psychic powers to hover rocks around him and then he plays drums on them with two sticks.
this. 99% of it is always cringe due to it either being rushed, dumbed down for general audiences, or the person making it is a tumblrite/redditor that is too dumb to do any better or has vapid taste in humor.
More than likely it's all of the above for most artists, though.
Also Loudred line, Jigglypuff line for being the iconic Sing user, Kricketune, Chimecho etc.
Grass/steel
Fire/ice
Water/fairy
pikipek is a woodpecker that turns into a fucking toucan
It's not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of people may be putting out art but you gotta remember the grand majority of these guys have been playing Pokemon for a long time. It's okay to be passionate, even if that passion is interlaced slightly with the desire for e-peen points.
there's a pokemenn that's just keys
there's a pokemon that's just garbage
there's a pokemon that's just several tools/utilities (rotom)
there's a pokemon that's just ice cream
at this rate it's possible user
Sobble will be water/poison anything else is just wrong. He's a camouflaging lizard it just screams poison.
and Dhelmise lugs around a god damn anchor
what if his theme is more about dancing than just making rhythms with his stick? He could have a tiki/baboon look to go along with it like in
Or the legends of nessy being a lonely sad dinosaur.
It's Grass/Poison. He carries around rocks and plays covers of Talk Dirty to Me.
WRONG IDIOT
he's gonna be water/ghost, fits a lot more
normal would be worse than bug if that's how they designed it
to be fair, those pokemon ARE the objects, whereas this one would just be lugging around a bunch of drums everywhere.
okay i read this wrong and was about to ask if you wanted to fuck venusaur or some shit
I think it'll be a mishmash of that and
Sounds likely to me anyway
And anons gave you examples of other Pokemon that have done the same
Loch Ness should be saved for a legendary desu
Grass/Ground
Fire/Electric
Water/Ghost
Screencap this
You have to be at least 18 to post on this board
sure, you can see some passion but you also see things like porn which i dont think is passion but a desperate attempt to be edgy and get more likes, but gotta admit, the ones who are doing sam and max or other kind of oc are fucking wonderful
This actually has me scared that we won't even have a chameleon pokemon by the time it hits its final evo. If not then it'd be a HUGE missed opportunity, and then I'LL be the one who's sobbing.
what about the mentioned timburr line?
A fish evolves into an octopus.
yikes, you should really point your obvious projections elsewhere junior
>no designated waifumon
>Gardevoir
>Lopunny
>Zoroark
we already have a chameleon though which is why we're expecting it to change
Buddy you have Kekleon grow up.
Fire/Electric
Water/Dragon
Grass/Fairy
Yeah you're right, that'd just be Farfetch'd!
he meant as a starter
>he's gonna be water/ghost, fits a lot more
How? Turning invisible doesn't mean he's going to get ghost type. Kecleon is a normal type.
If the rabbit is fire/fighting I'll kill myself
>he's gonna be water/poison, fits a lot more
How? Being a lizard doesn't mean he's going to get poison type. Kecleon is a normal type.
A gun evolves into a cannon
ftfy
Cool buzzwords you fucking child
If it is, can you kill Masuda on your way out?
england is rich in folklore and myths, i hope gamefreak exploits the potential it has for making pokemon based of those or add mini side stories about it but it would be more fitting for yokai watch
good
I'm going to laugh when everyone's all down sad and disappointed and btfo when their expectations and hopes aren't met
damn bro you seem pretty angry, everything alright at home?
I'll light myself on fire and run into his office and beat the shit out of him
>one whole fucking pokemon
oh fuck off. We have millions of monkey and rodent pokemon, but you complain about having more than one fucking chemeleon? get out of my face. It's not going to be the lochness monster. period.
When has there ever been a starter based on the region it comes from? Besides, loch is byfar legendary/tanky two-evo pokemon material.
Everything has porn almost immediately these days, that's just how the internet works. It's a vile combination of furries, edgy artists and just plain degeneracy and it unfortunately will never go away. I still think that doesn't take away from the folks who do honest, charming art just because they like to. How could anyone hate someone based enough to reference Sam & Max?
Pokegirl porn is always the best, though. That's both passion AND degeneracy.
you couldn't be MORE general with that post if you fucking tried. Literal waste of a bump.
No pure types for the love of fuck
just because it's a chameleon now doesn't mean it will be a chameleon when fully evolved
it also doesn't mean that it won't be a chameleon
saying anything about it definitively at this time is pure speculation and retarded
I choose you, Britbongemon!
We better be getting Sting Chameleon in pokemon form for Sobble's final evo. He's too much like him not to be.
i know but still it wont stop me from finding disgust about it, though i appreciate all the silly ones people are doing and being done more occasionally
AWAKEN MY MASTERS
how the fuck is he similar other than also being a chameleon?
I hope he doesn't because I'm sick of you spamming this stupid idea every thread
>AWAKEN MY MASTERS
I laughed
I am digging those 2nd stage grass and fire evos. This is why I hate pokemon fanart because 99% of it is better than what Gamefreak actually ends up pulling out of their asses.
He turns invisible, and also his general shape looks like a pokemon's final evo.
I've literally never posted this idea until this very thread.
It is what it is, I don't like it anymore than you do. At least it makes for an interesting ride all the way to release.
Good taste
>he turns invisible
like practically every other chameleon themed character in vidya ever?
that's the cutest fanart so far
the worst part about evo speculation is all the shitty fan evos that are just the same creature but bigger and with more detail, or the natural progression of said creature like a caterpillar into a butterfly or a small chimp into a big gorilla
>Dragon / Water
The grass starter's supposed to have an advantage against the water starter, user.
It will.
When it becomes Grass/Fairy.
Cute art is always top tier. My folder's been swelling ever since the direct.
>We're getting some Shakespeare shit.
STOP DRAWING PORN OF THE FUCKING RABBIT
YOU ARE RUINING MY FURRY PORN CATALOGS
problem with fanarts evo is that everyone assumes they still will look like their first stage but is never been that way since what, gen 3? people really need to think outside the box
The starters look so generic (just like in all recent gens), why is nobody talking about this?
Just add it to your blacklist, retard.
Can't ruin what was already shit.
Reminder the COAT starter still hasn't been beaten
No
Creepiest of all time?
Certainly a contender.
even in gen 3, torchic didnt turn into a big orange rooster thats on fire, torchic turned into a bipedal chicken person with awesome hair
exactly but im sure if gen 3 starters were released nowadays everyone would assume it will still be orange or have orange parts and have chicken legs
not necessarily, gen 4 threw a wrench in starter advantages and all 3 picked up a resistance or offensive advantage against their typical weakness and I'd love to see that again
popplio is 10x cuter
I'm pulling for Fairy/Dark to be a Legendary this gen based on English folklore. Or leperchauns.
>Grass/Fighting
Ehh.
>Fire/Normal
I mean, better than another Fire/Fighting.
>Pure Water
Pls no.
and then blaziken would get revealed and Yea Forums would fucking lose it
>WHAT THE FUCK ITS JUST SHITTY FURRY BAIT
>WHAT THE FUCK EVEN Yea Forums ANONS CAN DO BETTER *posts orange rooster that's on fire*
its natural moveset is strictly normal, electric, and dark
plus its ability is intimidate
seems like enough to make it dark to me
Scorbunny looks like a shounen mc with that bandage on the nose. Thinking of a soccer bunny with a name like Scorbunny.
kek that's definitely what would happen, no joke
what benefits would having a split normal type even have? just immune to ghost?
normal type stab, and "good" normal types tend to have better base stats to compensate for the typing
How come we never get dual type starters anymore? The very first starter Pokemon was a Grass/Poison type.
And STAB on Normal moves.
yes, but he looks the most like what a starter's final evo based on a chameleon would look like.
alright boys time for the real question
what fossil mons are we gonna see this gen?
Aloha, fuckboy.
Stegosaurus
Sabre-toothed tiger
ok, what are some good normal type moves worth using and hopefully not being faced by a rock/ghost/steel type
Tyrannosaurus!
Last two were dual types.
worth noting that normal types also tend to have really good movesets.
A great example of this is heliolisk. Normally electric types have incredibly shallow movesets, but heliolisk gets all sorts of wack coverage like dark pulse, surf, focus blast, grass knot, and STAB hyper voice. Still not great because tapu koko is better than pretty much every other speedy electric type put together, but it's certainly in the upper half of electric types just for that movepool.

I think they mean starters where the base evolution is dual, of which only Bulbasaur and Rowlet qualify.
scorbunny is fire/electric you based tards
Literally fucking the rabbit on both sides with that starter typing
>Literally fucking the rabbit
Please don't.
That's an even dumber, narrower niche that doesn't matter because they're all meant to evolve.
dude everyone's the same person
Im gonna bench my starter immediately like I have the last 3 gens.
Even the regional birds and rats have been more appealing.
That second-stage Scorbunny looks way too likely and I don't like it.
Looking pretty high chance that Sammun-Mak is a Fire Fairy.
>tfw no Bagon starter choice
Cant's wait for the Dark/Fairy mandatory Puck -> Oberon line!
Also Poison/Steel sounds like something that could happen considering the industrial setting
Oh yeah because Ballio was such a great fucking design huh
are there any other viable starter type trios? steel, ground, ice? I'd love to see something different someday
Fighting Steel Fairy?
That'd even fill the bara-edge-queer quota.
Fighting/Flying/Rock is the only other true trio, where each type is both SE against one and resistant against the other.
There are a lot of semi-viable trios though, like . The only thing it's missing is that Fighting would need to resist Steel.
>Chimp Pokemon
>Has a tail
I like psychic/dark/fighting even though there's an immunity in there
Nothing about Scorbunny indicates fire water
Its very obviously
Grookey
>Grass/Rock, he is a Groovy Monkey who beats rocks to a beat in the trailer, he will evolve into a drummer that causes earthquakes
Scorbunny
>Fire/Electric, literally yellow as secondary color, rodent-like (lagomorphs are not rodents), and its patches ignite sparks of static electricity to create flames, plus it runs at lightning speeds. It is a soccer player, not a fighter, known for agile maneuvers and running.
Sobble
>Water/Ghost, it is based off the many mysterious folklore serpents throughout Europe. Some people swear they have seen it, but its nowhere to be found. Much like the Sobble who has the ability to turn invisible. It is not a chameleon, it doesn't change color, it turns translucent.
This seems likely.
Fighting is much more likely than Rock for Grookey.
Isn't that essentially what Lapras is?
Thats what abilities are for.
Give the fighting pokemon an ability that resists steel and does some other minor effect.
The word Groovy is inherently associated with the opposite of Fighting, Peace.
Peace, Love, and Rock n Roll. I stand by that it is a peaceful rock drummer. The only way it would be Grass / Fighting is if it starts to use the stick like a bo-staff, which would mean it is a reference to Sun Wukong, which Infernape already is. It has already shown specifically that its stick is for creating music.
You'd have a point if fighting type meant what you think it does. Hero type is the more accurate translation.
will gf ever give starters cool default abilities?
>Fighting is Hero type
That is a meme that is passed around the internet that is not actually true.
I don't think Pokeautism will allow for that.
It's got to be perfect or no deal.
no
>Grass/Rock for the music pun
>Fire/Electric energizer bunny
>Water/Fairy thespian
>Chimp Pokemon
>Has a tail
it's still a valid reply you utter fucking retard
otherwise why would someone ask "how?" to "it fits a lot more [than water/poison]"
It is true though.
No, it really isn't. The vast majority of fighting types are clearly martial artists and brute knuckle brawlers. It started becoming known as "hero" type when it falsely spread around the internet that it was translated to "hero type" in japanese, but that is actually false. and it stays as a way to remember Fighting is SE to Dark, but that doesn't confirm it to be considered Hero type in actuality. If it was actually supposed to be "Hero" type in-lore then the biggest Fighting type trainers, gym leaders, etc. would be something like sentai or caped super heroes, not guys from a gym in tattered gis.
>Scorbunny is probably Fire/Electric
What retard started this? What possible reasoning is there for it to be electric because nothing points to it that I know of. The japanese name is a pun with Hibachi and Bunny (Hibani) so it can't be that.
so if grookey end up being grass and fairy does fire and normal counter fairy? or is it ghost that counters fairy?
it literally ignites the ground using electric sparks you vehement fucking retard
or it's because it's a fire type
source?
there are specifically yellow pads on the bottoms of its feet to indicate thats the cause. watch the trailer again.
What, you mean this single frame from the entire trailer? If so, then fire/rock is just as likely because it's running up a steel gear and flint sparks on steel.
you asked why people were saying it was electric and acting like those people were mindless retards even though its very easy to make that guess considering its literal yellow spark pads on its feet. flame doesnt create sparks when it touches metal like that. so you're right, it very well could be steel or electric type.
Goddamn, didn't know yellow automatically meant electric type, Magmar's been secretly fire/electric this whole time?
hes a druid that plays music to make plants grow
Scorebunny - Fire/Electric - gathers up metals into a ball using electromagnetism then lights them up and kicks them as a flaming ball of fuck with fire feet
>Grookey - Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground - gets big ass clubs with rocks tied on the end, plays the ground like a drum in order to make plants grow
>Sobble - Water/Ghost or Water/Dark - gets even sadder, but the yellow fin grows and gets markings looking like a smiling face and becomes prehensile enough to move over it's own face as a mask, allowing it to act in different emotions. Hides its face and then pulls back the mask to blast foes with a river of tears
you know it's possible to beat on other things than just rocks, right?
>muh point out one word out of your point to make it seem like your point makes no sense by providing my own nonsensical example and re-writing your argument for you
cool, now address literally every other thing about it and how it creates sparks with those yellow pads to ignite the ground.
>didn't know yellow automatically meant electric type
it does though
>It is not a chameleon, it doesn't change color, it turns translucent.
ah yes, lets just ignore the fact that it looks exactly fucking like a chameleon.
>because it turns invisible and doesn't change color
because everything in pokemon has to be EXACTLY like what the animal is based off of, right? It's not even serpent like in the slightest.
it was shown specifically beating the stick on one singular rock on the ground in the trailer to create an echoing beat at a consistent rhythm. no where did i ever say it couldnt beat the stick on literally any other object, retard. god this board goes out of its way to find the dumbest shit to try to nitpick about, autism at its finest. its very obviously rock or ground, earthquakes are caused because of vibrations. Rock fits perfectly with its music pun name.
camouflage and translucence are completely different things. you can autistsperg about me not calling it a chameleon if you want but its very obviously nothing but water/ghost and if you think otherwise you're retarded.
>cool, now address literally every other thing about it and how it creates sparks with those yellow pads to ignite the ground.
Was it officially confirmed or are we just guessing here? Because it looks to me like they're just making it's design cohesive with the square "bandage" over the nose and copying it to the feet so it doesn't look out of place. There's not a single frame that shows electrical sparks in the trailer, just a frame that seems to show friction sparks (like striking flint to steel).
>it does though
Damn, look at this electric pokemon.
ok so if this turns out to be real, which it's very likely or it still works for fire/flying
grass fighting and water steel.
>im going to magically pretend i dont remember that electric is represented by yellow in every single example in all of pokemon media since its creation, and that almost every single electric pokemon contains yellow, heres a picture of hypno so now ur rong lmao
the only electric pokemon that doesn't have yellow and also doesnt have visible electricity coming out of it, is electrode line. Every single other electric pokemon contains yellow in its line.
>The grass starter should be able to x4 STAB the fire starter with Earthquake
Okay retard lol
Magnazone
>it does though
I dunno but it looks more like they made a rabbit look like a soccer player jersy. the yellow on his nows is just a design. But hey if it turns into an electric hybrid I am all for it. I mean this means this is the fastest starter since infernape
It's japanese name is a pun on electricity, fire and rabbits
retard
>Earthquake is a Rock move
>nows
nose fucking autocorrect
Scorbunny is gonna evolve into Fire/Ground type. It's literally a soccer player, and soccer would be perfect for a ground themed pokémon, because fuck getting another Fighting type fire starter.
Scorbuny is obviously gonna be Fire/Fighting with Fire/Electric a close second.
seething
isnt fire weak to ground?
Ayy replied to wrong post. Sorry user pls forgiv
Why yes it is, what an astute observation. Your point?
And?
I never said it WASN'T water ghost. I agree that it is, but it is so very obviously a chameleon since it LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ONE. The ability to turn invisible is damn near like changing your color to match your surroundings, it couldn't be more on the nose and I can't believe I'M the one being labeled as autistic for this shit, like it isn't nearly the same thing.
Ground would make it take neutral from Grass. They've done it before, thanks to Empoleon, but I don't think they're keen to keep it up.
>Thinking a starter is going to get dragon typing
>Thinking the water starter is going to get dragon typing
It doesn't matter that fairy exists, dragon is still and will likely always be a 'top tier' type.
Also it's unlikely they want people not to use the pseudo by giving away dragon for free.
Grookeys final evolution
then why would they put starter with a weakness to it's own type? has there ever been a starter that had a hybrid type that countered eachother? even typhlosion was just basic fire in the end.
Flying beats grass so rowlet countered himself but if youre talking about both ways the only choice would be normal/ghost
the very first gen had venusaur retard
also camerupt exists
>>sobble
>Pure water
it does? ok fair enough. seems counter to the energetic rabbit but a soccer rabbit that kicks a rock around that he turns into a fire ball would be pretty cool.
ground counters fighting right?
chill autismo, I dont pokemon as much as you do.
for firefighter
they out run themselves again
poison doesnt counter grass.
bulbasaur is literally the first pokemon, I may be autistic but your IQ must be in the single digits
you too
Is this shit gonna be on switch
your autism needs to focus on reading, the question was on types countering itself on a single starter dipshit.
yesh
>why would they put starter with a weakness to it's own type?
Grass is weak to poison. Bulbasaur is grass/poison.
>bulbasaur is literally the first pokemon
but that's wrong
>Normal attacks are innate untrained abilities
then what the fuck is Hyper Beam?
>t. autist who hates the fact that "normal" exists
1st you encounter in game and first in the dex, twatto
and if you want to be pedantic diglett was the first one to be designed
>diglett was the first one to be designed
bullshit that was just a japanese guy drawing a dick
why you think they called "pocket" monsters
I thought that was Lapras
autism doesnt give you a pass for being a faggot autismannon.
the final evo isn't quite there. but i like this concept.
Grass psychic
Fire normal
Water dragon
getting a grookey and naming him Sopa
>grass is weak to poison
>grass isn't very effective against poison
>somehow poison doesn't counter grass
Absolute fucking idiot, you have the world's information at your finger tips and you spout retardation such as this? How do you get by in life, do you get all your information and choices fed to you by the hand of other people in your life like a damn parasite?
They will be grass/ground, fire, water
They can do fire/grass tho, because divegrass.
>Grookey
Grass/ Fighting
>Scorbunny
Fire/ Ground
>Sobble
Water/ Psychic
>giving Max an ability to breath fire
You crack me up little buddy.
Grookey is Grass/Normal
Scorbunny is Fighting/Fire
Sobble is Water
Rowlet is such a cutie goddamn look at how round he is hahahaa
an innate untrained laserbeam attack I guess
Oh lord does sobble get too depressed and become a ghost type? That is sad
>theres three typed pokemon this gen
how mad would you be Yea Forums
That would be stupid
They should allow two slots for Held Items on your pokemon
Grookey is ground/grass. Scorbunny is electric/fire. Sobble is flying/water. Ground monkey, scotch tape bunny, soaring bubble. I'll eat my 19 year old hat if wrong.
Then why come in and try to argue your retarded opinion you stupid faggot?
>flygon isnt bug/dragon
i will never not be mad
They're all based on Sports
Grookey= Baseball (uses his stick like a bat which will grow over time)
Scorbunny = Soccer (Big feet for kicking and their pose is them kicking)
Sobble = Swimming (Is making a diving stance and... is a water type)
For final typing we should take this into account.
I can see Grookey being Grass Fighting where it uses it's Baseball Bat as a weapon
Scorbunny goes the Inazuma 11 route and has Fire/Electric where it's kick either has fire coming off of it or Lightning.
Sobble is either Water Dragon because of the Lizard Angle and showing its become proficient in it's sport or Water Ice, showing that it can now withstand colder water like a competitive Swimmer.
>rock/ghost
tombstone pokeman incoming
>Gen 7 didn't have a designated waifumon
>Tsareena exists
Come on, user.
>scorbunny
They aren't even trying anymore.
>What is squirt turtle
Take off the nostalgia goggles
Wow. This is actually better than most of the shit Gamefreak puts out.
Rabbits going to be FIRE/FAIRY
Mark my words
I still think Mega Absol should have been Dark/Fairy.
*uses earthquake*
Rip bunny
It's hardly a fair comparison. Squirt and turtle combing for Squirtle is a simple but effective pun. Combining scorch and bunny really doesn't flow off the tongue, not by any stretch. I'm used to it now but I'd be lying if I said he didn't have a point.
>spongeposter has the IQ of a sponge
wow what a surprise.
The Football stadium shown at the end definitely means something. I like to imagine this:
>Grookey is the winning team. That fat bastard that brings an actual drum to the game just to bang on it.
I've actually seen this multiple times, haha.
>Scorbunny is the player.
No explanation needed.
>Sobble is the losing team.
This would also explain why his name in every language refers to him crying.
Now obviously this probably isn't true, but who knows. Crazy things happen.
>Scorbunny's gonna be a flaming faggot.
Please no.
Gen 7 had the only good starters since gen 2.
