Do we need...

... a water speed starter?

As in, like Sceptile is to Grass starter, or Infernape is to Fire starter,
should there be a water starter that evolves into a speed Pokemon?

Basically, I think so, but i can't think of one.
It should be able to walk AND swim (very quickly)
Should probably walk on two legs
Otters were taken (courtesy of Floatzel)
So i'm stumped

Of course, unless, you DON't think we need a speed water starter.....
 
A dolphin that can walk on land. Dolphins are fast creatures.

I never really noticed the lack of a fast water starter.
 
Yeah I Suppose We Do When You Think About It. The Only Water Speed Pokemon I Can Think Of Is Surskait Or However Spell It.
 
I think they were trying to do that with Empoleon becuase if you read its dex entries it talks about how fast it can swim and all this other stuff even though its speed stats are pretty bad and if they were going to make one it should be a marlin ( fastest fish )

Thats A Bit Weird Lol

Yay I've Went Up 3 Ranks Today
 
The problem is, you can't swim on land. They have to be fast in and out of the water.

But a sailfish would be cool, with a bit of tweaking. Sail of a sailfish, but it has a dinosaur body that resembles a fish.
 
There are some fast water types, including Starmie, Sharpedo, Floatzel, and Lumineon. I think what the thread starter was trying to point out was that there weren't any fast starter water types.

well they made it possible with lapras and goldeen and others ok how bout this a polar bear they can go pretty fast , and plus all the good ones are already taken
 
The starters are not often seen in the anime out of water, unlike Lapras and Goldeen. Therefore, it has to be able to stand on land.
 
Let's see
Blastoise = somewhat slow
Feraligatr - fairly slow
Swampert - Slow!
Empoleon - fairly slow

maybe if Floatsel was the Sinnoh water starter instead of Empoleon.
 
I found that empoleon was a very good pokemon,
Penguins swim and can walk on land.
 
Maybe if they created a cheetah of the water type and made it a starter it could work fast on land and make it walk on water like a surskit. I don't really know any water animals that would be fast on land and sea. Most fast animals in the sea aren't good on land.
 
...Umm...

How about a weird, fast animal with a fin. It'll be fast, and it'll have a fin to make it look like it could swim quickly.
 
Have you forgotten that penguins aren't exactly runners?
Plus, polar bears aren't very fast on either terrain

I like the sailfish concept, although i doubt a water/ fighting wolf.....
Cheetah? No thanks....
I know , sadly Floatzel took the only animal that may have been a good speed water starter....

this thread about making a WATER starter; it has to be able to run AND swim fast. And that's the problem here; it's hard to make one that doesn't look like a Digimon.
 
Water starters have very good defense for starters, having a speed starter (well it would look slim and have aero-dynamic features such as fins) would probably lowers its defense which seems to be the main trait for water starters.

A mexican walking fish is the only thing on my mind (mudkip?) ._."
