Pokemon Video Game • Page 99

Good God Sun and Moon will have a lot of Pokemon. I'm so excited. Also, there are a crap ton of Dragons.

I'm usually a player who cares more about building a small team and powering it up as much as possible. However, with the plethora of options and available Pokemon I might focus on catching as many as possible before I take on too many bosses.

 

new trailer tomorrow

still hate the fucking toucan

 

Can't wait to get hi-res starter shots.

 

Seriously. They could done a totally BA woodpecker final form... and they went with a toucan. Makes no sense.

 

Chatot not being in this is a crime against humanity.

 

Re Pikipek, in fairness, they had a sparrow evolve into an eagle in gen 1. I think woodpeckers and toucans are more closely related than sparrows and eagles.

 

is pidgeot an eagle??

 

It's certainly as majestic as one.

 

I think he means Spearow > Fearow. Though that is more of a wren than an eagle.

 

OR NOT

 

Nah I meant the Pidgey line.

Pidgey ain't a pigeon btw. HAVE YOUR MINDS JUST BEEN BLOWN?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

There are soooo many fun origin facts and theories. I spend too much time on bulbapedia reading that shit.

 

lol same.

Hey did you guys know that Articuno's Japanese name is Freezer, which comes from the English word "freezer"? Thanks, Bulbapedia!

 

Neither look eaglish to me. Spearow line may be my least favorite in gen 1.

 

Drowzee's Japanese name is fucking SLEEP

 

pidgey and pidgeot are super generic birds that look alike. the entire evolutionary line is pretty easy to process from a pokemon standpoint.

the design of pikipek's line does not do a great job getting you from a to b. even after seeing the middle evolution you'd probably be more inclined to think the toucan was part of some other line or standalone, which was the reaction most people had. i also just think a toucan is too small to be a convincing second stage starter bird.

 

I love the Butterfree one

 

I agree. This isn't new though. There are plenty of Pokémon that doesn't seem to go from a to b. Clamperl (a clam/oyster) goes to Huntail (an eel).

But my issue is that it's a main bird line. Which feels like it should have more cohesion.

 

Do we know if Litten's evo is fire/fighting? Because it sure looks like it could be lol.

 

Should find out today

 

Holy shit. Water/Fairy!

 

So much to take in.

 

i marked out when i saw grass/ghost
