Chespin is chestnut and pin (since he's a hedgehog), I think you've got Fennekin spot on, and Froakie could just be frog and croak. Its beard and glasses could play into its name in some way we're missing, though.

Ah yeah, this makes sense. And I guess, its hat will grow bigger as it evolves. :3

I will be cautiously optimistic about this gen. I got burned out on the Pokemon formula when I played Diamond, and when I worked at GameStop in 2011 I rented Black version and was extremely disappointed because it felt like the same old shit. Everyone had been telling me it was a vast improvement and I didn't feel it at all. I hope this gen is fresh enough to hold my interest.
it's still likely going to be the same exact formula. if you don't like that, this game will likely not change anything.
RPG-lite would be a misnomer given the fact that the combat system can be deeper than a lot of RPGs.
can we all agree this is the worst starter ever tho
....but his awesome smile face is great.
I'd say the worse....ingame wise is meganium line

Infinite use of TMs dude. B/W changed the game for the better.
But if you dislike the formula then yeah, it isn't for you.

It might just be me, but am I the only one who doesn't think this feature is a big deal at all? It was fan service for HG/SS more than anything. Not a step back for the series.
For the new page:
just now noticed the pokeballs on the lower left
that's it for the HUD? hudless battles on the top screen finally?

Pokemon are supposed to be in pokeballs bro.
I assume yes because the only reason they didnt do it in BW is that they would have to make new sprites for all of them... it was feasible Gen 4 cuz it didn't have all the 3D shit BW had.
With these games they can just use the models that are used in battles. So no excuse really
can we all agree this is the worst starter ever tho
Obviously not.
What the fuck was Turtwig.
C'mon man !
The pokedude never did you anything ... why be so bad to him ? =/
Soon you will be saying that some of those pokes belongs to Monster Rancher and people will look you strangely and when you barely notice you will be in jail for causing trouble
Soo excited didn't even check. I didn't make it only added the latest screen and this one now.
I have to say the aesthetic choices between RSE to FRLG and then again with DPP to HGSS where pretty immense. Have you seen the water in HGSS compared to DPP?
Though I'm glad that they have really progressed beyond their looked top down presentation of the game.
Don't bank on it, the first footage almost never has any HUD

game is viewed from a third person perspective, having a Pokemon following you would cover the screen/trainer
im gonna go with no
The best Grass starter along with Treecko?
I guess what I am asking is if the game is "kiddie," outside of the visuals, which seem to be better now.
A friend sended me, not sure the source of the fanart... liked these especulations the most.
Yes, Chespin evolution are gonna be epic no matter what

Treecko is dogshit
yeah too true
this time's 3D tho (not just the models but also the effect) so maybe they want the spectacle to take priority
dont see why they cant just move everything to the lower screen

Torchic is just a little bird. Nothing fantastic about that.
Yea it becomes Blaziken later and thats badass but Torchic itself? Not original enough.
Snivy is a cocky motherfucker. Can't stand him. I like my initial evos to be cute and lovable
Can you tell me what you see in Oshawott? Like, I see absolutely no endearing traits. What is it even supposed to be?
Psychic? Yay, this would confirm that Fennekin is Fire/Psychic. <3
This guy gets it.

Possible Fire/Psychic type?????? Oh god I am hype.
I don't care if that is super shitty competitive typing.
And charmander was a lizard...
Its a huge deal to me. It makes traversal way less boring and more personal. It makes Pokemon feel more like actual companions than made up creatures that only show up in battle scenes. Plus it's just adorable/badass. That was half the appeal of Yellow version. I don't care what anyone says it's damn important to me lol.

mudkip always seemed like a random level 12 pokemon from some backwater hick route that accidentally got a job as a starter

So... anyone going to miss the fact that Pokemon games have moved beyond colors? I mean, we all knew the day was coming... but I think I find that saddest of all.
all the starters on their base form are alright, some evolutions are HOT GARBAGE
The fact that I've been reading this thread and people are calling the new starters shit/awesome pretty much equally bodes well actually, imo. I like that people feel strongly about each one and its not like we all agree one is far superior or inferior to the others.
Having said that, Chespin > Fennekin > Froakie. Though I already have a soft spot for all three.

No, that's not Mudkip/Gen-3 other two.

the real question is, does it have a day/night cycle?
