If that were true, there'd be no such thing as starters, and you'd be able to start with whatever base level Pokemon you want instead of between only three generic training wheel Pokemon soley created to teach you how to play rock-paper-scissors.

But it's not true. It's not about having a heart. It's about catering to the lowest common denominator. It's why gym leaders and the Elite 4 are still a mandatory part of every campaign. It's literally gaming's most obnoxiously overbearing tutorial.

Yes, because the entire game and universe of Pokémon is just a tutorial for the only thing that matters, competitive play.

...I hope you're not being sarcastic. I'm not talking out of my ass. Masuda literally said that's why Pokemon has been stuctured the way it has, as if it wasn't already obvious. This is documented fact.

I chuck mine asap. Starters are worse than HM slaves. They take up a slot your team because gamefreak likes to assume that no one has ever touched a Pokemon game in their lives, as if it wasn't the second biggest gaming franchise on the planet.

When I was in like 5 or 6th grade there was this kid that would only use his starter throughout the whole game and it annoyed the crap out of me XD. 

I always do that. I level my starter only. Use the rest as HM slaves. Use my money towards Balls and full restores. Till I clear the game. I only tackle the Pokedex, and proper leveling. After that's done.



It doesn't look very big, so there will probably be more islands.

We will have seen the whole island in a few minutes.

Also, with these big buildings everywhere, maybe the region is devided in islands and not in towns and cities.



Possibly the first gen where the water type isn't my starter of choice. Rowlet looks too awesome, the seal looks too goofy. A lot could change with their final forms though.



4 ≈ One

Yoooooo fan art makes me want this lol

Poor Popplio, no one seems to like it Personally it's my favorite starter of this gen, with Rowlet close behind.



I like all of them now. If Litten becomes a poison type i might have the hardest time choosing a starter. Lol

I can't say im that impressed to be honest. Looks like the same game with a new title. In saying that If my gf wants it then i'll buy and play with her

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can unironically say that. It literally has the most different visual design of any Pokemon game ever made. It's like looking at the jump from FF9 to FF10 and saying "hur-dur same game new title." This isn't even opinion. This is factually the most different Pokemon has ever looked between two games. SM's overworld looks like XY/ORAS's cutscenes.

This:

Looks completely different from this:

No offense, but people like you (and it's not just you - I've been hearing this from a lot of people) have absolutely no idea what-so-ever of what you guys are talking about.

I dunno, I've played and owned at least one pokemon game every generation except black/white 2. The last 3 entries i haven't even gotten all the gym badges before giving up( on Y i got 4 before quitting). Judging from this trailer, i didnt get that "fresh" feeling. It sucks though cause as a kid Pokemon was life lol I wish it still excited me the same way, FF strangely does but i think thats because every title is completely different from its predecessor. I only mentioned FF cause FF and Pokemon were my two favourite games growing up.

Popplio waill be badass in his third form <3 just you wait

No matter how much it changes there's no erasing the stain of it's first form...

I think his first form is amazing. It may be one of my favorite first forms to date

Surprisingly, the other 2 are growing on me. Initially I hated them all.

Owl was probably the only one that roughly interested me but as long as the later evos look good then I could be sold on all 3. Tbh there hasn't been a single Pokemon game where I liked all 3 started 3 forms, there have been some where I love the first and second, sometimes their second and third forms, never all 3 in a row for all 3 of them per gen.

Yeah, final forms are pretty dang important cuz that's the one you're gonna stick with at the end.

I have liked all the starters with RB and SG, but after RS that hasn't been the case.. : T
