Oh crap sorry double post look at this zoom.

opponent is a pig thing!!!
 
Interesting interpretation reaverz.

Personally, I think the face of the left starter (the one you have pictured) is looking straight forward, and the triangular growth on the left (our left, its right) is some sort of thorn. We've got the Roselia and Cacnea lines, but no Pokemon is based off plain old thornbushes, so that could be some unexplored territory. Just a theory.

And Mario, that Deviant Art account you posted was amazing. Is it yours, or did you find it? In any case, it blew my mind. Evil Arceus? Starters based on centipedes, dolphins, and red pandas - three of the coolest animals ever? Yes please...

I think someone already said this, but it bears repeating: Gamefreak could make their jobs so much easier if they learned how to use the internet. Just say a new game is on the horizon, wait a few weeks, then run a few searches and steal all the sweet fan art. That's what I would do, at any rate. :naughty:
 
its all the same, bad quality is bad quality, in the past people used to think trecko was an ass in an walking body before the good quality images show up.

Are you talking about silhouettes because I don't remember when 3rd gen was coming out?

Oh...have I ever told you that your signature is awesome?
 
whatever! i got a question:when the heck is corocoro going to show us the the new starters? here on the place i live we dont get this kind of news and cerebii is a pain in the ass.

also no, you never told me, but its good to know i am not the only one that laugh at this.
 
According to Serebii.net, the website for CoroCoro has just posted some higher quality silhouettes, along with the promise that they will reveal the starters in their next issue, which comes out on Saturday. Knowing how many people want to know about this kind of thing, it's also likely that the images will leak before that date comes.
 
interesting, we might get the info we want sonner then expected, but still....what secrets does the new starters hold for us...?...well, better wait and see i guess. nothing we can do about it either way.
 
Some people are saying the scans of the new coro coro can be out tomorrow. Scans do usually pop around the 9th, 10th, and 11th of each month.

Edit: For instance this is when pokebeach posted the scans of the screen shots: Saturday, April 10th, 2010 @ 3 AM, PDT
 
my interpretattions is that the grass is a kangarooish qualitites, platapus water fighting type :) and a fire boar (they eat whatever)
 
A Grass bird? That's interesting. So far all 4 Grass starters have been reptiles.

A few pages back, someone (I think it was reaverz) talked about this, and made a pretty interesting point.

In the first three generations of Pokemon, there was always one starter which was Dragon-like in the sense that it or its evolutions could use moves like Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, etc, and also in the sense that it was clearly based on some sort of reptile. RBY had Charmander, GSC had Totodile, and RSE had Treecko.

For the last two generations, one of the starter lines has also been based around a flightless bird, and been given access to flying type moves like Brave Bird and Drill Peck. RSE had Torchic (chickens) and DPt had Piplup (penguins). Notice how this pattern goes in the exact same order as the Dragon-based one - first Fire, then Water. Sorry for all the theorymon, but personally I wouldn't be surprised if the Fifth gen Grass starter was some kind of flightless bird. It could be an Ostrich, an Emu, a Peacock, a Kiwi, or even (my personal favorite) a Kakapo! Unfortunately, none of the silhouettes look like birds...that said, the one on the left is so weirdly shaped that it could be anything, so who knows?

Yea...so that's why I think Grass is going to stay reptiles. Kakapo...haha. Have you read Last Chance to See? The Kakapo is endangered because it doesn't fight. Instead, it stands there confused and gets hunted.

Well, every gen.'s grass starter has been some kind of reptile/dino and with what you say, why can't it be both? Pterodactyl kind of covers both.

No, I haven't read that. I'm afraid my only knowledge of Kakapos comes from Animal Planet. It sounds interesting though.

Yeah, I guess a Kakapo doesn't sound like a great candidate for a Pokemon. Then again, neither does a toaster or a washing machine! "Doesn't fight", eh? Well then, they could make its final stage Grass/Fighting for a bit of ironic humor. Have it be all angry because its friends have been hunted to extinction.

Damn...now I made myself sad :(

Doesn't quite gel with the pattern reaverz was describing, since pterodactyls can actually fly. Also, we've got Aerodactyl...although personally I was always disappointed by him, since he looks way more like a boring European dragon than anything else.

I have no trouble with GameFreak re-using certain animal concepts. Quite the opposite, in fact. For example, if the fifth gen does not introduce a kick-ass spider line to atone for the horrible sin that is Ariados, I will go down to my local maternity ward and start punting babies.

Mushrooms really don't do anything but exist and get eaten and we got Breloom to kick some ass.
 
or spore some ass in-game style, still it would be interesting to see a special breloom in gen 5, with a special focus punch, special movepool, special *insert something about breloom here* and naturally SPORE(game).
 
we could also use a better t-rex, t-tar just dont cut it(you really expect a t-rex to lanch ice beams and dark pulses around the goble?), something faster, hit for about the same damage on the physical side, less special defense, no fucking auto-sandstorm or rock typing, a little bit more of defense and hp and low special atack. THIS is a real t-rex, t-tar is a wannabe.

I've always thought Rampardos was a T-rex. Huge body with tiny little arms and it has the T-rex's body shape.
 
he got no brains, its just a big empty head in there, a true t-rex would be dark/*insert non rock type here* with some speed behing his atacks and physical bulkness, they were freaking giant in the pass and you want a empty head idiot to fill his role?! that thing is pathetic, gen 5 gave gamefreak a chance to fix some mistakes and lets hope this is one of the mistakes they fix. other stuff would be the classic dusparce-evo-everyone-want-but-no-one-will-use and some stuff like a speed life orb. humm...speed life orb...i can see...endless possiblitys...

edit:rampardos should be called butting heads pokemon in the pokedex, aiforil idea.

He is a completely different dinosaur who's name escapes me.....Obviously famous for butting heads similar to goats and heavy protection for their skull for obvious reasons. They look like Ramparados and are about the same size, but don't have so many/large spikes.

I want to see a Megalasaurus (might have gotten the name mixed up)....They look similar to T-Rex's but nearly twice the size. There is also another T-Rex w/ a fin on it's back, enormous claws, an alligator snout, and (ironically enough) large carnivores such as the Tyrannosaurus rex take up a large part of it's diet. It's well over 4 times the size of a standard T-Rex, it's only remains were destroyed inside a museum in the middle of a war.

It would probably be a support Pokemon then w/ low attack.
 
Spiders need to stop being part bug and start being part dark. Bug refers to a certain set of species, makes me think of insects, not arachnids. You don't call spiders bugs. They're their own seperate class.
