I am so excited now all these pictures are out...I would have said this early but my internet has been down :'(
I LOVE the new characters, they do look older which is good for me and they both look really cool compared to others...
And the starters are just awesome, I think they are the best looking starters since Gen I, Personally (Don't slate me for this) I hated the Gen II starters and most Gen II Pokemon (Bar Ampharos), Gen III looked stupid from 1st stage to last and the same with Gem IV
I was kinda hoping that the grass would be a Kiwi with Leaf on its head and turns into huge Peacock-like thing and was hoping the water would be a bear but these are still awesome and main thing ORIGINAL!!
But, now looking at them:
The grass starter looks like a better cooler more original treeko, hoping that its evolutions won't go wrong like treekos. But I think it is the best looking
The Fire Pig, I'm very happy with this I was looking forward to a fire pig with a final bad-*** fire boar for its evolution, and i think it looks cool and like original pokemon not some bad designs we have had
The Water otter, this is the only one that i am slightly disappointed with, for me it looks to much like piplup and not original enough compared to the other awesome ones...the other problem is I don't know how they will make an otter as big and as powerful as they could do with the other 2 starters...
But overall I am Loving 5th Gen, the graphics look updated but not like Gamefreak have tried too hard to make it 3d, which is always a good thing
I'm hoping for more original pokemon (like we have so far) and a Game which has everything to make it as good as Gen I
