Hikozaru or Naetoru?

OtterPops

Mareep!
I'm stuck with choosing either fire monkey or grass turtle (my sister got dibs on water penguin). If I choose Hikozaru, Rapidash would be just a waste of space, but if I choose Dotaidos, Rozureido would be a waste of space... Even though I like the turtle more, Hikozaru and his evolutions would fit with my team more (special sweeper set), since my team is FILLED with physical sweepers. Floatsel, Rentoraa, Mukuhawk, Skunky, Weaville, Erureido, Biidaru, Mimmilope, Bunyatto, etc... all my favorites in D/P are physical (not to mention that almost 90 percent of the D/P Pokemon are more physical than special). -.- So which starter should I get?

Also, would someone like to sort out my team? I have way to many choices and I can't pick myself. ;-; Floatsel and Rentoraa are musts, though, unless you really hate them for some reason or think they suck...

BTW, I'm not sure if this should be here and I don't think I could post on the D/P section, so mods, you guys could move it to wherever it fits.

Hello fellow Kingdra fan! :D
Personally, I'd go with Naetoru. He's got defense, which is something you'd be lacking. On the other hand, I don't think it much matters anymore between physical and special attackers. Now that all types are split between the two catagories, you can still cover all types. The only difference between them before were the types, but now it only depend on whether or not they make physical contact or not.

Go with the Turtle. Turtle=win.

I'll be starting with him on either D or P the first time through, Penguin on the other. There any info on when the US release of DP is?

Mukuhawk -- seems like a real nice physical sweeper (and can take out rock pkm with "in fight")

Rentoraa-- i agree, he's a must

Euroriedo-- nice physical sweeper, plus that psyco cutter seems bad *****.

Weavile-- he's a good special sweeper to me, (ice beam, dark pulse, etc.)

Biidaru (hm slave)/ Floatsile-- seems like a good poke for me, though your choice

Goukazarou-- your main man right here, since all your other bases are covered, i'd go with him, cause he's yo
ur over all sweeper.

and i have no idea who you are talking about, Mimmilope? who's that?

Hi Grass Guardian. ^_^

Most of you say Naetoru, and that will probably be my choice, but I still want more feedback. And Venastois, Mimmilope is the name I made up for Mimmiroppu (the stripper bunny thing o_O).

Naetoru. Go for balance. Plus he's viewtiful
 
meh, the fire one's practically been done already with blaziken - although the fire mnkey does look better.

But imo, the turtle in final form is fantastic. A lot of weaknesses, true, but with plenty of (FINALLY) decent grass attacks, earthquake, and crunch, you can't really go wrong!

Naetoru.

Sure, yeah, I'm biased because he's Grass type, but c'mon - it's a grass turtle. And how unique is that? Think of how good it would be defensive wise! (Presumably) And Hikozaru merely becomes Fire/Fighting which has been done before, whereas when Naetoru evolves (albeit twice but meh) it becomes Grass/Ground which has never been done before and can give you STAB on many useful attacks, including Earthquake.

I'd go for naetoru. Hikozaru looks so stupid plus there's already been a fire-fighting type. I think naetoru would be much more interesting and it looks so cool! I mean, the flaming bum idea is so stupid. Who would want a pokemon like that?!?!

Hikozaru isn't stupid (my opinion) and I don't say your opinion is wrong, as we are all entitledto our own opinion. But HIKOZARU RULES!!!

its your choice, just remember the fire monkey's *** (then tail, then head...)is on fire and the grass turtle will evolve into a moving island!
which sounds better?
