June CoroCoro: Starters and trainer art

[Jeff]

The CoroCoro leaks have started! The starters have been revealed, confirming the suspicions of many fans that the silhouettes revealed earlier represent, from left to right, the Grass-type, Fire-type, and Water-type. Art for the two player-character trainers has also been revealed for the first time and they are confirmed to be older than the main characters from past Pokémon games.

I generally decide on my starter after I've seen the fully evolved form, but so far the Treecko-wannabe looks like the best to me. The water one looks abhorrent.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Yeah i seem to be seeing Treecko, Piplup and Cyndaquil mutations...

Thats kinda lame.

Heres hoping their Evo's do some justice. Their styles seem to hint at multiple types too. Is it me or does it look like they couldend up as Grass/Dragon, Fire/Ground, Water/Ice?

I doubt that because the first things I think about penguins is water and ice. Empoleon, a fully evolved penguin starter is Water/Steel. I'm pretty sure they'll throw us for a loop with these starters as well. For all we know their fully evolved evolutions would be Grass/Dark, Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting.

*takes deep breath*

Is it bad that i somehow prefer the fire fakemon? This freaking pig is even worse than the water fake pig. The otter (Otter FTW!!) looks a bit clownish lol. That grass snake looks weird. I guess they'll grow on me with time. Hopefully.

Now WHAT?! Older protagonists? How the hell are they going to explain this? And could this mean that Ash has a chance on growing up in the next series? O.o Boy i am freaking excited!! The girl though... is it only me or is she a bit slutty?

[Jeff]

Well, just because you need to be 10 to be a trainer doesn't mean everyone goes out and gets their license on their 10th birthday. And yeah, the girl trainers seem to be less conservatively dressed each gen.

[Blademaster]

They stole my Fakemon Fire starter on dA. :mad: I AM PISSED.

Its her hair. Give any girl a Snooki bun, and they instantly look sluttier. Im glad they are older though, I wanna be able to buy a damn alcoholic beverage in this game >O Or at least make out with the other protagonist.

[Oslo]

Wish I could've been there for the brainstorming session on this one.

"HEY YOU KNOW WHAT'S COOL SNOWBALLS FOR HEADS 8D"

[Dark Scizor]

Didn't see this before I posted in the BW forum.

Oops.

New female trainer is slutty, just how it should be.

ಠ_ಠ

Exams are killing me.

[DarkestLight]

That is not an otter. That is a damn doll.

Once again Gamefreak knows I only pick Grass Starters. This gen will be no different.

Cause that Water ...thing I dun even want it NEAR me cause it looks like Water/Ice again... and well...

Ok Grumpig has a fire relative. That Fireboar name was actually pretty funny for it.

I dun wanna see an "S" in that Grass Pokemon's English name...or I'm gonna shoot someone. -.-

[Dark Scizor]

Pignition and Piglit were my favourite names.

[Starry Might]

I've already seen this just moments ago on Serebii and I'm looking at other stuff as I type this, too.

Thanks for sharing all this, though, lots of neat new info!

As for which Starter I'll pick, I'm actually torn between Tsutaaja (the Grass-type) and Pokabu (the Fire-type).

Even Mijumaru (the Water-type) is cute in its own way, though.

As people at Legendary Pokemon are pointing out, however, it looks sad. Aww. *HUG*

Oh, and I think the new girl trainer is cool, just like her predecessors. IMHO, the only thing that could be considered "slutty" at all about her is her short shorts (LOL), but short shorts and skirts are common in the Pokemon universe, soooooo... :P

This is coming from a female who is not a lesbian, and who is not easily offended by how female characters in games and such dress.


They stole my Fakemon Fire starter on dA. :mad: I AM [CHEESED].

*LOOKS*

Wow! :o

Think of it this way, though: "Great minds think alike." ;)

Personally, I've got a text file of Fakemon I've created (mostly during the 2nd Generation), and some of them (mainly Typings like Water-Grass and Ghost-Flying) have come true in subsequent generations, and I think that's cool!

Oh, and DarkestLight and Dark Scizor, where are you getting the speculative English names for the Fire-type starter from? BladeMaster's pic?

[Rossymore]

Well, the starters look nice...except for the water one. Hmm...it looks a bit strange. At least it's not a beaver, but a sea ott...wait a minute! http://www.gtsplus.net/files/images/sprites/hgss2fn/418.png

Fire pig and Grass snake look good.

[Blademaster]

BladeMaster

How about no.

[Telume]

The water-type actually reminds me of Frigimon from Digimon. It just looks like it's trying to be a snowman-thing or something.

[Ayeun]

Some of the scans of the water one lead me to believe that it may end up being a water/ghost type as its final form.

[Starry Might]

BladeMasterHow about no.
:confused:

Anyhoo, I showed this stuff to my Dad last night, and he thought it was interesting.

He also wants to know if the white things on the female PC's shorts are her pockets, and now that he mentions it...

What do you think?

[Blademaster]

:confused:

"M."

[Starry Might]

"M."
Yeah, I did capitalize it wrong, didn't I? Sorry!

Anyhow, I looked at the "Black & White" Forums here earlier, and I think I now know where Pokabu's name predictions are from.

Oh, and I've noticed on deviantART that poor little unloved Mijumaru is gaining a cult following, and I must admit it's growing on me more, too! :D (Not that I even hated it, it's just that I liked the other Starters more, and still do.)

Oh, and here's the most EPIC fanart of Mijumaru to date. (http://maiple.deviantart.com/art/and-this-is-how-I-feel-163946342) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (Quick, look before Maiple possibly deletes it!)

I'll guess I'll wait 'till I see the Starters' evolutions before I make a final decision.

[Blademaster]

Thank you.

Also that fanart disturbs me. Wotter is a scary enough little fucker as it is...

[Starry Might]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, and sorry 'bout that, but I thought that picture was freakin' hilarious. :lol: :heh:

Here are some cute Mijumaru pics to make up for it!

Oookay, enough Mijumaru picture spam. :keke:

My Dad and I were looking at Serebii last night, and according to them, the next issue of "CoroCoro" (which comes out on June 15th, but you KNOW it'll get leaked ahead of time!) will have more info, including how to get Zorua, plus a reveal of yet another new Pokemon!

Awesome. :D

[DarkestLight]

That otter looks like Down Syndrome attacked it-won-raped it- and then asked all other deformation diseases to come over and have a party in its body.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Grrrrrrreat info! But let's not rush, are we really getting the English names this soon?

Also, what's wrong with pigs?

[abunaidesu]

That looks like a Cyndaquil reject

[Blademaster]

Which one, the Fire-type or the Grass-type? >>
