I used to always pick fire, except Heart Gold, where I chose Totodile for whatever reason. But then came upon earth the majesty that is Decidueye (I know it’s mainstream, don’t @ me). And now it’s currently #teamSobble.

But Delphox sucks.

Greninja’s line is ugly though outside of the final evolution. Delphox’s isn’t. [spoiler]You should know of the overwhelming amount of Braixen porn[/spoiler]
-
What? Delphox is awesome!

Edited by epicperon: 9/26/2019 4:04:41 PMWell, competitively it does kinda suck. But it’s still a great pokemon and even I picked it over the meta choice (Greninja)
-
Greninja is completely overrated!
-
Edited by epicperon: 9/26/2019 6:18:37 PMI agree, but unfortunately in the meta it’s the best starter and one of the best pokemon in general, so everyone picks it
-
I’ll never understand choosing Pokémon for their stats, myself.
-
Competitive players want to win battles. In order to do so, they choose the pokemon with the best stats. In order to perform well they need optimal team builds with pokemon that have good stats. It’s just like in all other PvP games: players who want to win will use the best things. But when you just play through the story, it doesn’t really matter.
-
I mean I get that. I’m more meaning on the casual side, though, which most players are.
-
Yeah not even I build competitively in the actual games. Just on Showdown. I’m like you for the most part: I just use what I like
-
It’s more fun that way, imo!
-
I agree, to an extent. There are some pokemon that I avoid using because they’re just really [b][i]REALLY[/i][/b] bad.
-
Well, yeah, I guess that’s true. My Mawile in XY, and XD are really bad, and I avoid using them because of it, despite Mawile being my favorite. That’s not either Mawile’s fault, though, I’m just a really bad trainer. :p

[quote]#depressedChamealeongang[/quote] [spoiler]I was initially thinking Scorbunny but seeing how it’s most likely going to be another fire/fighting, no. Also Sobble must be protected. Team Sobble ftw[/spoiler] [spoiler]And Decidueye is amazing regardless of how mainstream it is[/spoiler]
-
Edited by IceApfel: 9/25/2019 10:03:10 PMCouldn’t agree more. But I personally believe the Galar starters will end up without secondary typings. Scorbunny does learn fighting moves, but they literally can’t make him fire/fighting. Riots would happen. [spoiler]Also the one credible leak says it’ll stay pure fire, so there’s that.[/spoiler]
-
3 monotype starters? That’ll be interesting to say the least. We haven’t had that since gen 2. Not even gen 1 was like that. I was kinda hoping Sobble would get a cool secondary typing but I guess pure water works too
-
It’s not set in stone, but I’ve got a hunch. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind it.
