Description [link] !!!

Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie.
If you haven't heard, these aren't fake. They're the actual starters for Gen VI, Pokemon X and Y. FOR 3D AHHH <3 Thank god my brother got a 3ds for his birthday c:
October is so far away though ;n;

I think it's obvious Fennekin is going to be a huge favorite with everyone, I just HOPE it's not another fire/fighting when it evolves. I also like Chespin, even it looks a bit like Oshawott. Froakie is just okay, hoping for a Water/Ice combo though <3
I think the developers actually did a pretty good job with these guys, can't wait to some evolutions!

--
I would be happy to hear your opinion on the new starters, but please don't whine about how they suck or bash the designs, because frankly, I don't care, and I doubt most other people do either.

I absolutely cannot wait for Gen VI! I love Fennekin and Froakie, but I'm not sure if I like Chespin or not. I'm kind of iffy. But anyway, I love this. c: Your lineless art is very nice!

Me neither! It's also going to be really cool to see their evolutions, which will probably tilt opinions on fave starters (including mine!). Aww, thanks, I rushed this a lot though xD

Quite good!

To me, Chespin looked a bit like Nuzleaf and have the potential to become a Grass/Dark type, albeit unlikely. And Fennekin had the same appeal as Eevee or Zorua, and in another discussion somewhere someone else have pointed out the possibly of it being of a Fire/Psychic type later on. And Froakie...Either a Water/Ice or a Water/Fighting from the discussions I've seen, the former being far more likely IMO. Ahh the mystery!

I just hope Fennekin's evolutions will look more like Ninetales rather than Purugly.

Thank you! c:

I can definitely see the resemblance there, and it would be sweet if we had a grass/dark starter! I'm with you on Fennekin's evolution, and it better not look like Purugly did, that was messed up. :T
Froakie could be a Water/Fighting, but we already had the Poliwag line.... Man, I wanna see some evolutions!

JWNoctis In reply to CatsInTheClouds [2013-01-10 12:20:32 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!^^

That's at least a few more months to wait before more hard info, though... And I am hoping for a Dark-Psychic-Fighting reverse counter ring among the starters, too. If nothing else that will mean more interesting rivals in-game. And also a Gen VI Hoenn remake and maybe two more Eeveelutions, but the first one's far off and the second one's unlikely.

Yeah, only time will tell. Hope they - the new starters - will do well.

CatsInTheClouds In reply to JWNoctis [2013-01-10 21:52:01 +0000 UTC]

That would be a really cool dual-type set, and definitely more interesting rivals. An R/S/E remake would be so cool, albeit a long time away <3 Well, if they follow the Eeveeloution pattern (Gen 2 got 2, Gen 4 got 2 more, Gen 6 gets 2?) then we might get some, but you're right, it probably isn't that likely.

Aww you drew them so adorably here. Personally I think they're nice. Its neat to have a grass starter who is mainly brown. Fennekin is cute too, and Froakie although I think maybe we have enough frog pokemon. I think Chespin has to be my faveorite.

Have you seen the new screenshots yet? I really like that deer thing with the glowy things in it's horns. I'm going to have to get a 3ds somehow now.

Thanks. c: I agree, Chespin is my favorite; it's nice to have a starter that isn't completely green, though I do love the others.

I KNOW RIGHT I saw it and I was like
Good luck!

No problem. I like Fenneken too but it seems fairly popular and I tend to shy away from super popular Pokemon.

That thing is georgeous literally. Like a tribal moose hung with Christmas lights.

Thanks lawl.

Yeah, same here. I actually caught an Eevee and named it Cliche (I have this headcanon that he hates me, especially because I taught him Attract xD)

Haha it does! Reindeer lab experiment escapee?

Siletha In reply to CatsInTheClouds [2013-01-09 21:37:15 +0000 UTC]

Pssht lol. The only Eevee was named Napoleon and it became a Vaporeon. I'm so creative haha.

Serious looking rave club deer. I have a tendency to give my legendaries really dumb names, maybe I'll call it coat hanger.

CatsInTheClouds In reply to Siletha [2013-01-09 22:14:06 +0000 UTC]

That's actually a pretty awesome name for a Vaporeon. xD

Dude, that would be the best coat hanger ever, especially with the glowy lights shining through everything.
It would also make a pretty sweet disco ball, to go along with the rave club idea. lol

Welcome c:

That would be so cool xD I did one or two, with a fox and a dragon, but I'm gonna do ones with some other species too. I guess we could either do sly, cool animals, or animals no one would ever expect to be theives. xD

Hah yea although I have a fairly small room and he might knock my Beta fish or one of my Chinese dragon figures off the shelf.

So pessimistic.

I did one with a raccoon and a coyote, I'll try some dragons as well. Makin them something totally unique would be awesome too.
My first thought was pidgeons but I'm not sure how they would steal anything.

Eh, he's probably pretty huge anyway, especially with those antlers... I doubt many rooms would last long xD

Ooh, nice! Coyotes are even sneakier than foxes, although I guess thats a little racist? ...Speciesist? (Apparently that's a word, my comp isn't correcting it. lawl) I can see how pigeons would be good, too! or just birds in general, but yeah, it is pretty hard for them to do much thief-wise :T

Siletha In reply to CatsInTheClouds [2013-01-10 21:32:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.

Are they? I would have no idea. Speciesist lol. My computer says that isn't a word. Yeah, I've no idea how a bird would steal expensive things. (although I did have a hot dog stolen by a seagull once.)

CatsInTheClouds In reply to Siletha [2013-01-10 21:41:44 +0000 UTC]

Well, we have some coyotes where I live (middle of nowhere :I ) and once in a while I see them slinking around. I guess just a personal opinion though Oh, oops xD My computer doesn't correct it but then again my computer is a little retarded so...
Oh, that sucks! Seagulls are little winged devils >:U

Yeah, that part sucks, but I think a lot of people have been waiting for a fully 3D game... maybe they'll do a regular version? D: We'll eventually be able to get it online like the other games, I bet... I think it's called a ROM file or something

True, true. Good luck! The price has gone down by now, hasn't it? It's probably still pretty expensive though :T

Boy e.o I think it was even more expensive when it first came out though, so that's a plus. c:

It's not a joke, the announcement came directly from the Pokemon Company. Hopefully it will be worth it, I'm still a bit skeptical myself.

AdamFalconer [2013-01-08 17:35:53 +0000 UTC]

I'll be honest first time i saw them i wasn't too impressed but then this is true for every time a new gen comes out so i expect they will grow on me :L I agree fenniken has the best design although i will probe end up using chespin as i usually choose the grass starter. Ill reserve judgement on the game until i see the whole poked but for now ill just say the game graphics and battle animations definitely have my attention

CatsInTheClouds In reply to AdamFalconer [2013-01-08 17:43:32 +0000 UTC]

I agree, like when I saw Gen V's starters, I wasn't too impressed, and I'm still not completely pleased with them, but they definitely grew on me.
Fennekin is so cute, but I think it's too...yellow for me, but that's just an opinion. Yellow has never been my favorite color so.... But yeah, I think I'll choose Chespin too, I've gone with water starters a lot.
The animations DEFINITELY look like they'd be worth it, and I saw one snapshot of the region that looked like Paris! If that's the theme they went for, it will totally be beautiful.

some people (marriland :L ) are guessing that we might be able to customise our own trainers if so that will be great but i agree the region and animations are definitely the most impressive bit so far
