It's a sure bet that one will be at least part grass, one at least part water, and one at least part fire. We should get the Japanese names and the actual images within the next week (they are supposed to be unveiled next Sunday on the TV show Pokémon Sunday, but the magazine CoroCoro frequently leaks this type of info a few days early.

I am curious as to how many new Pokémon the game will introduce.

If it is Grass,Fire,Water again what second type do you want with it?

Shaymin · « **Reply #102 on:** May 08, 2010, 10:13:08 PM »

I'd love to see them do the Mexican Standoff starter set (where the starter's secondary type gets beat by the one that would normally beat it), but I also want Grass/Dragon so it kinda falls apart.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #103 on:** May 08, 2010, 10:17:05 PM »

Hmm Fire/Psychic,Grass/Dark,Water/Fighting?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #104 on:** May 09, 2010, 05:06:10 AM »

Maxi....I like that set up. It not only is good set, but sounds like they could be interesting Pokemon to collect.

Stratos · « **Reply #105 on:** May 09, 2010, 05:10:16 AM »

Those are also type combos we've yet to see in the game.

I'd like to see more exotic combos.

As far as starting Pokemon goes this is true. However Grass/Dark and Water/Fighting have Pokemon with those types.Shiftry and Poliwrath respectively.
Fire/Psychic isn't in the game at all.
You know as far as starting pokemon go Fire/Psychic has an advantage with most of the Fire starters except Typsplosion and Charizard. Empoleon would really be the perfect counter as far as types go.
Grass/Dark has neutral attacks with its typing goes as far as Grass starters go. Grass/Dark has a hard time with the rest of the starters except water types so I think to combat that I think it would be bulky and defensive.
Water/Fighting would be neutral for most of the water types except Empoleon. Grass type starters it would be neutral for all of them except Venasaur would could resist the fighting type attacks with its Poison typing.

I forgot about Shiftry and for some reason I thought Poliwrath was part psychic...I fail at pokemonology

You thought that because of hypnosis I bet.

To me the Generation III Pokemon in general are forgettable.

Because half of them are copies of gen 1.

Starlet? Spheal? Felt like they were just trying to force out the old ones and all it did was pad the 'dex with corny copy cats.

We still haven't seen a Bug-type Legendary.

Mop it up · « **Reply #112 on:** May 10, 2010, 04:51:33 PM »

Poliwrath isn't part Psychic? Doesn't it have Psychic moves?

rbtr · « **Reply #113 on:** May 10, 2010, 04:54:22 PM »

Like two maybe? He has hypnosis, but that's because of the big swirl on his chest.

It's water/fighting. It can learn three psychic moves:
Hypnosis
Psychic (through a TM)
Rest (through TM)

Well there is Arceus which can hold an bug plate to make it a bug type but yeah other than that there isn't one.

Yeah it does have Psychic moves. If only the pokemon had moves of its type or types than it would be pretty easy to counter the pokemon. Lapras is a water/ice type but it can get normal,psychic, ghost type moves as it levels up. Even more types with TMs.Poison,Steel,Electric,fighting,and Dragon.

Halbred · « **Reply #116 on:** May 10, 2010, 05:46:11 PM »

Poliwrath is Water/Fighting.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #117 on:** May 10, 2010, 05:55:31 PM »

Yes I know Halbred. I was just making a point that all pokemon have different move types than whatever its type is. Hence the mention of Psychic type moves on a Water/Fighting type.

Halbred · « **Reply #118 on:** May 10, 2010, 06:21:42 PM »

I was really responding to Mop, since she seemed to be unaware of Poliwrath's type.

I'm noticing that a few of the higher-level HG/SS Elite Four Pokemon take a lot of damage from super-effective attacks, but by no means go down in one shot. Examples: Grumpig and Gardevoir not dying immediately from my Salamance's Cruch (he's at level 82), Koga's Muk not dying from Earthquake, and Lance's Altaria not going belly-up from Stone Edge or Thunder.

It's annoying.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #119 on:** May 10, 2010, 06:33:59 PM »

Grumpig tends to have better defensive stats than most Psychics. Gardivor has higher Special Defence than Defence. Crunch is a physical attack so it should do more damage to Gardivor. Maybe the trainer worked on building up Gardivor's defence up. Muk has higher Defence than Special Defence so try Psychic on it for better results. Thunder does neutral damage to Altaria. Rock and Ice attacks are your best bet.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #120 on:** May 12, 2010, 08:36:50 AM »

So Serebii has the scans up of the revealed starters. They look interesting.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #121 on:** May 12, 2010, 09:57:05 AM »

Where? I just checked the front page and don't see it, and I didn't see it on the Black/White page.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #122 on:** May 12, 2010, 10:34:10 AM »

How odd. it is on the front page. It is apart of Wednesdays update.

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #123 on:** May 12, 2010, 10:41:58 AM »

Oh, nice. I really like the designs!

The grass type is pimp.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #124 on:** May 12, 2010, 11:49:40 AM »

They look a bit stranger than past starters, but i'm sure they will turn into awesomely cool pokemon like the rest. Really interested in what the Pig will become.
