Chespin #1

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Well that's just where you and i will have to disagree because obviously our tastes are polar opposites (which is fair enough).

Don't get me wrong I like simplicity, but much like the opposite "Too busy/complex" argument, I think there is a thing as "Too simple" .You know what's a good simple design that doesn't go into boring territory, Blastoise , Rapidash , Primeape. I'd use other gens but since I used gen 1 pokemon initially i'll continue.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ok I'm changing my avatar because Chespin worth it.

 

[Santiako]

Polls? When did this happen? :O

 

[polyh3dron]

Wow, a Pokemon that won't look dated right when it comes out... I'm in.

 

[Tadale]

I've been out since Diamond, and I had only played Blue before that. This looks like enough to put me back on board, but I hope they're making some changes to the structure.

 

[SmithnCo]

Chespin has a leaf hat, obviously it is the best. Behind EatChildren, of course.

 

[Berordn]

WIN FROAKIE, WIN. FOR ALL THE BLUE GLORY.

Only $99.98 to unlock Pikachu

I pray that they stick to an Animal Crossing mentality for Pokemon DLC, but the Mystery Dungeon 3DS DLC doesn't leave me with much hope.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Chespin isn't getting enough love. You people are crazy!

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

How are people creating fanart so fucking fast?!

We know these pokemon for 3 hours and the internet is FULL OF FANART WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC IS THIS

 

[Beast Legacy]

It's clearly a trick answer.

He's a legendary, not a starter.

Legendary. Unique moves. Shiny. One-time Japan only distribution event.

 

[FillerB]

What type is EatChildren

Psychic/Grass

 

[GCX]

Polls? When did this happen? :O

GAF has had polls since the dawn of time, they're just not used very often.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Pokémon!

 

[Starsunder]

I hope Chespin's evos are awesome, he needs it

 

[Maedhros]

Lol... Chespin is so fucking bad. The pool will proove it.

Best grasses starters will forever be Bulbasaur and Chikorita!

 

[Emitan]

Froakie winning. Poll is rigged.

 

[EatChildren]

Someone give me OP info and I'll edit it in.

 

[Double]

Fuck. Now I'm going to be disappointed when the real evolved forms start appearing.

Very nice, but wtf is that coming all out of her ear though lol.

 

[Solid Samus]

I'm loving these starters. Trying to figure out how they're going to manage turning Fennekin's evolutions into fightings types though.

Looks soooooooo*10000 better than the 3D pokedex shit.

Erm, I've seen a couple of posts knocking the 3D models in Pokedex 3D like the ones shown here are better, and I'm wondering, have you guys ever actually used it?

 

[Hot Coldman]

killing yourself >>>>>> not voting Froakie

 

[Schobeleth]

Wow.. this is pretty awesome. Seeing screens kind of made me leery, but after seeing the trailer I was blown away. Totally down for this, I'll be buying a 3DS for this I think!

 

[TrueBlue]

there ain't no such thing as a male Fennekin. maybe a trap Fennekin, but not a male Fennekin for sure.

Lol

I'm okay with this.

 

[The Librarian]

Just wanted to stop by and say I'm on Team EatChildren. Not one of the designs for the new starters is good.

 

[spiritfox]

Why is the awesome fire fox losing to some lame frog.

 

[grimshawish]

I would like to point out that the reason the starters all look soo good is they compliment each other.

 

[Kyon]

Someone give me OP info and I'll edit it in.

<3

 

[GuessMyUserName]

Poor Chespin

 

[Celegus]

Holy crap that looks awesome. Looks like my assumption was right with the B team working on Black and White 2 while the A team was working on whatever's next. October of this year? That's bananas! I was always a little weary of Pokemon going 3d but this seriously looks fantastic, love the art direction and somewhat cel-shaded look. Can't wait!!!

Water starter's not bad, but that fire one = gg. Too bad the wife and I both called dibs on the fire one as soon as it came up, which means I'll probably end up going water just to be different (don't argue with the woman, folks!)

 

[also]

Okay, the new region will definitely be inspired by France. Just look where Pikachu begin's his message:

 

[Vermillion]

Srsly.

 

[Wiz]

Sorry EatChildren, but you aren't as cute as Chespin. <3

 

[backlot]

Here's a link to the recorded Pokemon Direct for one thing

[Boss Doggie]

Where the hell is ScraftyDevil and why hasn't he updated the OP.

Also I think Eat is Mod/Dark

Yeah too simple.

Although I'd put Blastoise to the "too complex/overdesigned" category they use for Haxorus. Reeks of "compensating for something".

I'M ON YOUR TEAM. Don't let me down!

These are the Pokedex 3D models just cel shaded. Nintendo is hardly likely to spend all those man-hours creating detailed models for some app only to throw them out for the main games.

The Pokedex 3d models were technically good, much better than the N64 models that had been reused since Pokemon Stadium for some Pokemons, but many people just dislike the plastic look that they have. Giving standard lighting to models based on the simple Pokemon designs would inevitably result in that problem. Cell shading fits Pokemon's designs much better.

 

[base shagohod]

Holy shit.
Time to buy a 3DS.

 

[Kade]

Froakie looks whack af, smh

 

[Hana-Bi]

Can't vote, but Chespin would get my vote.

Grass is always best starter type.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN, SON!

There are seldomly times in which I'm totally jealous of France. This is one of them. Daft Punk would be another one.

Yes. I own the OG one on the 3ds. The models have absolutely no charm to me. Pokemon X/Y looks much more like what I would want.

 

[Bossun]

This not even inspired, it's France. Seems to be (we can't see really well) the exact replica of the champ de mars

 

[Salsa]

okay complete honesty time: im concerned about the 3D making the game slower. As someone who plays without the battle animations and whatnot.. yeah idk.

Obviously super early to tell but that + walk animation and new perspective has me uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I kinda miss the sprites bro

 

[Kouriozan]

Okay, the new region will definitely be inspired by France. Just look where Pikachu begin's his message:

That means if I travel 300 km I can meet Pikachu?
Cool!

 

[ultron87]

Baller water frog dude for life!

 

[Snegurochka]

omg finally a frog starter!

 

[Dance Inferno]

Read the OP and got excited, then I watched the trailer and realized I don't care about Pokemon at all. Has the game even changed at all since its Gameboy days?

 

[Emitan]

Reeks of "compensating for something".

You're the one saying this?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

what the fuck is chespin even supposed to be

fennekin looks like deviantart's wet dream so nope

froakie is down to party
