I don't really like them, I think I may actually choose the fire or water one this time (I always pick the grass starter). I only like the fire one.

I am interested in the fact that the main character will be older than the past ones.

Hey could someone post the scans?

Notice the battle scene at the top?

Notice how it looks just like the Heart Gold battles, that look just like the Pearl battles, that look just like the Ruby battles, that look just like the...............

Yeah I noticed all that too when it was first shown a little while ago. Only difference is now you can see the full body of both pokemon. Only one tiny step forward as far as battles go.

Those are the most disappointing new starters I've ever seen.

I feel very underwhelmed...though the otter looks a bit like Pascal from Animal Crossing.

This make me excited to see their final forms. Especially the grass type.

If loving the fact that I'm going to either start with the smuggest-looking Pokemon or a FLAMING PIG is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

I'm thinking I will choose the otter. Will be the first water type starter I've chosen since the original Blue version with Blastoise.

I never judge the starters by the first Pokemon, but after their evolved states. I picked the Penguin Pokemon because it was an awesome looking Pokemon. Sure he was a more difficult Pokemon to use at first, but later once he is evolved he is pretty awesome.

this sounds racist...

or at least, a Micheal Jackson spoof..

According to Serebii the sprites move when attacking, but to what extent is unknown. Chances are how ever they move it will be very disappointing.

Manthony Chopkins · « **Reply #137 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:38:36 PM »

Definitely going with the clown otter.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #138 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:41:54 PM »

I am going to see what their later evolutions look like and if they have a secondary type. I like all the designs of the starters.

I wonder if they will try to animate them similar to how they did the models in Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon? That is the only way I can think of fully animating that many different units.

Poke'mon stadium DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caterkiller · « **Reply #141 on:** May 15, 2010, 07:23:03 PM »

OK some decent news on the animation from www.serebii.net

"In a variety of instances, the camera will move around and zoom in/out as the situation dictates. In addition to that, as seen in screen shots, the sprites are animated so they are not as static as they have been the last fourteen years. These animations take place when attacking and while waiting for the moves to be selected"

Sounding pretty nice.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #142 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:39:03 PM »

I wonder how many people will care. I usually turn off the animation sprites after awhile because it speeds up the battle.

Here is some videos.

It shows of the starter battles, and another battle with a new pokemon.Also around one city.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #144 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:36:21 PM »

I'll be honest, that was a hundred times better than I was expecting.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #145 on:** May 16, 2010, 01:24:14 AM »

Why can't they do stadium/Colosseum style battles? The thing is a mini N64 after all.

Did they all just 'Hail Hitler Salute' at the end of that second video?...

It's probably not offensive there. It's similar to how the swatsika is really just an inverted symbol that has been around for thousands of years.

That actually is a stadium type battles only with sprites.

Is anyone else aware of how much different the japanese colloseum is compared to the american version? In the japanese version the pokemons attacks affect the environment among other things.

GearBoxClock · « **Reply #149 on:** May 16, 2010, 02:48:56 PM »

I am very excited.

The otter is adorable and I am not planning on breaking my Choose Only Water Starters streak any time soon.
