Pokémon XY Final Starter Evos leak thread. (NO OTHER LEAK DISCUSSION ALLOWED!!!)
- Thread starter zroid
- Start date
It's like GF didn't even know what to do with the grass and fire final evo's.
Greninja is in an awesome pose that is fully realized.
The other two just look like they dropped the basic model into the game, adjusted joints to make them look like they were standing and took no other considerations in.
Just looking at the fanart, you can see how these other 'mons can actually be interesting, but GF just fucking dropped them in the game like a PSX NPC. No character, no tone, no articulation or poseability.

I don't dislike it, it's just weird.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I just find the digimon comment weird
We are warriors!
This shot looks pretty clear to me.
A bit glared, but much clearer than before. Like I said, it still has the brown... it's just beneath its armor.
So essentially the first starter that's wearing clothes.
Agreed

The color scheme on Chesnaught looks awful. If it wasn't for that I'd be team Chespin
Froakie it is

I will remain by #TeamMozilla as I have been since the starter reveal. Fire/Psychic sounds like a fun type combo to have and despite how "generic" the final evo is, I think it looks cool. Although now I don't even know if I still want a Charmander now for the purpose of having good type coverage.
Fanart looks worse for all 3, especially for Delphox, it loses its menacing look.
That doesn't look like something you want to mess with.
Regardless, it is Greninja > Delphox > Chesnaught
At this point, I feel like GF is making these look so outlandish from their pre-evos so that if they leaked, they would be called fakes.
I don't see the Delphox generic complaints, that's about as far away from generic you can get going from Braixen to Delphox.
Horrible. Maybe the frog one is ok. But damn. These are the worst starters ever.
I get Zudomon vibes from it.
Only thing preventing me from going Froakie is if there is a MegaBlastoise Y and it's badass. I actually like all evolution stages of Chespin.
Ugliest starters for me was the Gold/Silver era. This is nothing compared to them.

I can't believe that. The only odd one was the green dinosaur (I can't remember their names). But even that was better than any of these.
Wait that's it's tongue. That's not right.
But its so... eh.. at least its not the chikorita line I guess.
Still Froaklin turned out beast. Strider Frog on deck.

I actually do like the design for chesnaught, but his stance is derpy as hell.
Hopefully he has some awesome battle animations.

Geez I can draw better final evo than GameFreak. Man are those some ugly shit pickles. What were they thinking!????
You have horrible taste. Worst starter gen is probably IV or V.
How are the Gen IV starters bad?
They kept their main designs and got useful secondary typings.
I'd say IV, but V has the Tepig line, so... Probably V.

Gen V were the worst. These all have redeeming factors.
Gen V it was Serperior being awesome while the rest were shit.

Exactly.
First off we got a second fire/fighting, secondly while I like empoleon I thought it's steel typing did it no favors, I'm indifferent on torterra.
You know what yeah, I dislike Emboar more than Infernape so V has the worst, at least there's Samurott to save it from being completely awful.

I microwave steaks.
yes.... YES
Frog Ninja still wins though. I thought that was his scarf though, I bet he's great with the ladies.
Don't have a problem with anyone liking the design (I think it's kinda ridiculous myself), but do you really not get people saying it doesn't make sense?
Chespin - Small chipmunk with a green hat and a big goofy grin
Quilladin - Fat/round chipmunk with the same goofy grin
Chessnaught - Angry chipmunk with a totally different face inside a giant spiky suit of armor
My main problem with the finals (well, Greninja and Chesnaught) is how different they look from the previous stages. I think Greninja is pretty cool, but I'd rather have it actually look at least a little bit like Froakie/Frogadier. It's weird to have 2 Pokemon that look similar, like they have a theme going or whatever, then the third changes almost every single thing. I'd personally rather have the starters actually look like natural evolutions of the middle form and not like a completely different species (even if that's "boring" or "uncreative" to some people. I honestly preferred that fake Froakie3/Fennekin3 picture that was going around). Delphox is a fairly natural evolution, but it's just meh for me because I don't like the design all that much.
Still... Greninja will kick a ton of ass on my team. Just wish he was more Frogadier-ish. Dark blue, not as angular, had the bubbles/foam, etc... the one thing I truly dislike about the design, outside the "different-ness" is the giant round kneecaps.

What's with Delphox' eyes/face? Gross; it's got that sort of victimized anime girl look (I don't know what else to call it).
His coloring and lame posture seems to be throwing people off. I am sure he will look better in game.

How can anyone insult Gen 2? Had two fantastic designs and one crappy one.
Gen V had two utter shit ones and one great one.
Gen IV had three good ones(Infernape having the same color scheme as Blaz makes me dislike it)

They wanted to make her cuter for "reasons"
look at gardevoir pictures... actually no don't do thatBecause most of the gen 2 designs, not just the starters, are not very good.
Pretty much how I feel, though we differ on which is the great design in Gen V.
Every gen has had at least one horrible design except for the first which has the three classic awesome ones.
V is the only one right now that has two awful ones, though VI isn't doing good either but they're better than V's still.
Wrong. Gen 2 gave us tons of amazing pokemon, sure there are some that are bad but every gen has those, whereas gen 2 has a lot of great pokemon (competitive wise and design wise).
