Your theories on how the new starter pokemon will look like

[Boonge]

Well heres my theory.

Baulbasaur has a green bulb, Chickorita has a green leaf, Treeko has a green leafy tail. So 3/3 have grassy features on them. So maybe this pattern will continue.

Squirtle has a tail, Totodile has a tail, Mudkip has a tail so thats 3/3 to maybe the the 4th water type will have a tail to if the pattern continues.

Lets hear you're theoreys. ;212;

 

[Dilasc]

Whatever the case, I hope the grass starter is not green, the water starter not blue, and the fire starter not red. C'mon! Do they always have to be the same color? Do they?

It doesn't make much sense! Let's have something different, something new, something inspiring!

Here's my interesting triad.

Grass/Electric Corn! Yea, corn! Its cobs of fun, and it has no legs or arms. Its also got brown leafy arms to surround its yellow, kernelly face. The reason for grass/electric is so you're assured to beat your rivaling water type assuredly. Can't go wrong there.

Water/Ghost (starting stage two) water elemental. Some sort of Undine or Sea Nymph type beast who's ghostliness comes from its mystical nature. A very fun thing to see as a male though. Also very fun to connect the ghost breeding group with the waters, passing moves like Night shade and Willowisp to water creatures. Imagine Tentacruel with Night Shade, or Gengar with Hydro Pump, or even Gardevoir with Hydro Pump. Chain Night Shade all the way to Chinchou if you so please for fun times. It's main color would be purple, closer to red than blue though.

Fire/Bug army ant. Actually, in stage one, it's type would just be bug, but at evolution, it will grow into type two of fire. We need a few good bug types, and a starter is certainly a way to get something to be assured to have good stats all around. Unlike most starters, it would have two abilities, with ability two being Swarm. Basically, a Swarmed Singal Beam can hurt bigtime, and having Fireblast on hand for Skarmories is certainly not a bad thing, now is it? Bug type two adds an edge, (or rather, it's type one, but what's the actual difference?) It resists its starter rival corn with an extra layer of grass resistance, and an extra way to STAB the enemy super effectively. It might even have access to Giga Drain, the way most bugs do, even if the typings disuade its usage. Bug is also resisted by its ghostly foe. A true connectivity is formed therefore in that both STABs are resisted. Now, that doesn't unfortunately stop the Bites and Crunches that all ants are known for. Its color would be a bright sea green.

All in all, a different, yet IMO, a very fun triad. With their type coverages, and probably varied movepools, you can have tons of fun with your starter!

Honestly, I don't think they care about these anatomical minutiae. They're going to do what they see fit, not prescribe some obscure pattern for the starters will look like that nobody will bother to notice. Besides of which, of course a Grass Pokemon is going to have plant features on it.

Gamefreak is just going to make the starter Pokemon from scratch for reasons that should be obvious.

Now, for my ideas:

Grass/Electric is all dandy and sweet, but I'd like to see it be an onion stalk or a fern. ;D

Going on, a Fire/Psychic type would be most welcomed in this world of Fire types that don't associate with other special types. I'm thinking it could either a stag or a hyrax.

Lastly, I'd enjoy seeing a Water/Flying Pokemon as your last selection, but it's not just any ol' Water/Flying Pokemon, it's one that can use special attacks. I'm thinking that it should be a sleek comorant at first, then it evolves into a frigatebird, and lastly into an albatross. And, shockingly, it would be able to learn Thunderbolt in its last form since it better well have a good special movepool that has something other than a STAB move and an Ice move. Yeah, it'll still be weak to the Grass starter by virtue of that starter's electric prowess.

 

[PkmnTrainerJ]

I like the idea of Water/Ghost, and as you say an Undine type Pokémon.
Fire/Poison. A fireball, similar to Gastly.
Grass/Steel. A metallic plant, complete with roots, and Suction Cups as an ability.

 

[Atoyont]

In the previous games, there have been paterns. These are them.
Grass: Animal/Plant- all the Grass starters are not just plants, they are based on animals.
Fire: ....Final Evo shoots fire out of a body part?!?
Water: Capable of livivng on land.
Yeah... those are my thoughts.

 

[sam_h12]

well theyre all going to have legs. what id like to see is a fire type that is like a tribal worrior-type thing that has a mask when it evolves (looks like pupitar, gains a rock-type) attacks include Eruption (will have a volcano at last stage), Rock Slide, Rock Blast, Scary Face

id like to see the grass starter look like royalty with leaves behind its head and a few massive leaves that look like a cloak-type thing(at its last stage). its main colour will be black (and it'll be dark type at its first evo) attacks include Leaf Blade, Protect, Magical Leaf, Faint Attack

the water type should be a toad kind of thing (2nd type is poison) that has dangerous marks onit and looks really evil once it has fully evolved. it wont be short and stubby - itll hav a body shaped like Sceptile/Feraligatr but with that big chin thing that frogs have. attacks include Muddy Water, Sludge Bomb, Acid, Acid Armor

 

[Bulk]

Well, these are my views on it.

Grass - This should be a Grass/Steel in a triceratops for it's final form. Sure it's weaker to Fire but I'd love a Triceratops and there herbivores, therefore grass?

Fire - Fire should be a Fire/Normal in it's last form. Not to sure why but it should be a lion with a fire maine. Also, I feel that in D/P Normal should be super effective against Dragon. Simply because Dragons are ment to be the most powerful Pokemon so it'd be ironic that something "Normal" could beat them. This'd make the fire starter FAR more appealing.

Water - Water should be Water/Ice and a giant Penguin in it's last form. I think it'd just be nice to have a penguin Pokemon other than Delibird. Either a Penguin or a Polar Bear at least.

Although, with these ideas, this would mean that the Grass starter is significantly weaker than the others. Grass/Steel makes Fire 4x effective against it and considering the Water starter is part Ice, it would also be effective against it's opponents. Still, I'd prefere their looks to be like what I've stated.

 

[Kasaioni]

fire starter last evo shoots fire out of hands (probobly not though) but they might wanna start with a whole new type of starter, like.... a week phychic or electric or ice or something...or dark...

 

[V Faction]

This was decided long ago

Grass - Dinosaur/Reptilian creature

Water - Mammal or Bird

Fire - Anything goes

 

[Brandon-kun]

I think the new pokemon will the starters for diamond and peral you know the new ones coro coro is coming out in his latest mag

 

[PDL]

I don't think that they'll have starter pokemon based on things other then terrestial animals

here's my ideas:

Grass starter: all the previous grass starters were reptilian, I would like it if it was based a mammal, something simlair to sandshrew, or at least the same basic shape. Only instead of being a desert-dwelling ground type, it's an aboreal grass type simlair to a tamandua, Complete with a long sticky tongue and confier-like tail. It could have high defenses, average attack and special attacl, but lowish speed.

Fire Type: the fire types have been quite varied, we've had a reptile, a mammal and a bird. I'd like it to be a mammal again, only this time its monkey, simlair to a Golden Loin Tamarin. It then evolves into a Howler monkey, and then finally into an Orangutang. It's speed is also lowish but has higher attack and special attack and decent defenses.

Water type: all the water types sofar have been reptilain or amphibious. and we won't have a fully-aquatic starter, they have to be able to move on land well. I suggest a penguin. It's perfectly fine to have another penguin pokemon. This one could have high special stats and high speed. Simlair to Sceptile's stats.

 

[Alastor DMc]

I love the idea of a triceratops Grass/Steel starter. He could have leaves for the frill on it's head, and steel horns, with a green body and silver feet. His first form could have only one horn, then second form would have two, and the final form would have three.

I know we've had them before, but for the Water starter, we could have a tadpole (with little legs and arms) that crawls on it's belly. For it's second form it could be a fog, still with a tail, and for it's final form, a big bad frog. If you need a second type, I suppose Poison or maybe flying (make it a tree frog, jumping from tree to tree, give it bounce at level 36)

There's been a slight pattern that I and many others have noticed involving a dragonish pokemon for each generation (charmander, totodile, treecko) and I think this trait is back for Fire types. Rather then the European-like dragons (hind legs) it could be a more chinese dragon. I couldn't begin to think of what a first and second stage might look like however. For a second type, you could add ground, or maybe psychic

 

[Bling Slaking]

All the starter pocket monsters have been classed under reptiles or amphibians.

Reptile
Totodile (crocodile), Treecko (gecko), Squirtle (turtle), Chikorita (sauropod), Torchic (chick).[/B]

Yes, Torchic is a chicken, thus known as a 'raptor'.

Amphibians
Charmander (salamander), Bulbasaur (eryops), Mudkip (mudskipper).

Others
Cyndaquil (echidna)[/B]

Cyndaquil is a 'monotreme', which lays eggs. This could be placed under either one.

So if they are going by a pattern of balence (if there is), there will be 2 more amphibians and a reptile.

Water - amphibian
Grass - amphibian
Fire - reptile

 

[V Faction]

Totodile, Treecko, Squirtle, Chikorita, Torchic - reptiles. Yes, Torchic is a chicken, thus known as a 'raptor'.

Charmander, Bulbasaur, Mudkip - amphibians

Cyndaquil is the only odd one out, though it was unique in the fact as an echidna is in its own family.


So if they are going by a pattern of balence (if there is), there will be 2 more amphibians and another 'different one'.

Water - amphibian/different
Grass - amphibian/different
Fire - reptile/different

There are so many things wrong about this post....

 

[Bling Slaking]

Yup, because your guess was so much better.

I can guess as much as you can. There are no right or wrong answers.

 

[Alastor DMc]

It's not that your guessing is wrong, it's that your facts are compeltly wrong. A chicken is by no means a raptor. You also didn't make any guesses, you just stated a handfull of random, incorrect facts.

 

[Grymyrk]

I love the idea of a triceratops Grass/Steel starter. He could have leaves for the frill on it's head, and steel horns, with a green body and silver feet. His first form could have only one horn, then second form would have two, and the final form would have three.

there aren't enough cool dinosaurs in pokemon, this would be a start. first form might make more sense with no horns, the second having three and then the final evolution having not only three horns, but spikes on its frill.

i've been pondering the idea of a grass/ground type stegosaurus for a while, being the final evolution of the grass starter. i then worked backwards, figuring that the plates on its back would obviously be leaves, and so its pre-evo [the second stage] would have spines that on final evolution would unfurl into the leaves. main problem with that idea is that looking at a dinosaur like that you'd expect a tail whip to do some serious damage :c/

 

[^^Yoshinichi^^]

Well..even though it's not set in stone it would be nice to get a fire type insect,amphibian or fish based on the "animal groups"theory,all three of them would make for an interesting type combination if they were fire. And I thnik Charmander's more of your mythical firey reptile salamander,because I do remember seeing something reptilian and fire based called "Salamander" in this book of Mythological Creatures I have. Oh and if I had to pick a good water starter,it would be a Polar Bear, that gains Ice upon evolution but only learns one ice attack without TM's to be fair. And Im sure they could easily give it some kind of gill system.Though I fear it would make for another physical specialist. http://www.kluit.com/images/o_IMG_5....com/gallery/albums/coolimages/polar_bear.jpg

That would make a cool pokemon in general, not just a starter. My one - two - three horns idea was just for the stages (be honest, neither idea 'makes sense') I agree though, there aren't enough cool Dinosaurish pokemon, and the fossil's don't do any justice (with the exception of Aerodactyl) A stegosaurus, Triceratops and a few carnivors, like a Raptor or Allosaurus.

 

[Explosion]

The water types each lived in different water(squirtle-salt,todo-fresh,mudkip-muddy), so this could be Water/Ice, but that would make it good against the grass sarter. Or marshy/dirty water making it part poison.

The grass starter had to do with differnt plants(bulba-flower,chikorita-herbs,treeko-leaves), so maybe vines, or wood.

Fire was really varied, so we can't really guess. I am hoping for a Fire/Psychic, like a Pyromaniac like pokemon.
