I wish theyd do something different with starters, and with everything. The formula got stale many generations ago.

Arceus maybe isnt how it should be going forward, but its at least an attempt on changing the formula.

Wow I thought this was a joke topic cause I completely missed the news

Water and Fire both look great, but obviously I can't choose without seeing their evolutions

They werent gonna make a mainline game like Arceus already. Possibly next time, but who knows. They dont have much reason to mix up the formula when its guaranteed to do millions every single time

Grass and Fire look like they could be interesting though.

Leaning grass until they ruin him with his evos.

And then I'd be leaning fire but they'll ruin his evos too.

And I'll be stuck with duck...

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Croc is easily the most interesting to me but final evos are what really matters. I mean I highly doubt I'll be getting this game anyway tho lol. Sad they're still refusing to budge from the formula of 3 starters each grass/fire/water.

Yupppp, I'm already predicting if it stays on all fours, it's going to be sassy girly cat with mask or something.

Ugh...

Gamefreak you already completely ruined Popplio, don't do the same thing to my kitty :(

Although firecroc could change that...

Yeah but it had to go against the Totodile line. This one may have a similar problem.

Is this the revival/completion of my reptile team?!

Apple fire dinosaur yes.

I like water too. I like his hat and his attitude.

Grass is a cat. Shrug.

As always though this will he decided by evos and stats because the final evolution is ultimately the one that matters most, and the one you'll use longest.

No Pokemon has ever snatched defeat from the jaws of victory quite like Serperior, for instance. A decent final design but inferior to Samurott and such dogshit stats that I wouldn't use it if you paid me.

No idea; potentially any of them depending on evolutions. All of the first stages are pretty solid, though!

I feel like I'm obligated to pick Violet though because that's the first name of my FFXIV character
