Dang I caught like four Mudkip on the commute this morning


Lynx and Paint
Still need even one of the other Hoenn starters tho

Lynx and Paint
and so many other Hoenn Mons for that matter

ex-arch
/insert vintage meme here

Lynx and Paint
I DO liek Mudkips, although just casually

VeGGies
Same, same.

VeGGies
Top tier of water starters

Lynx and Paint
it is a good one, yes

Lynx and Paint
although I think my fav is ninja frog

ex-arch
Mermaid seal is best seal

Lynx and Paint
mermaid seal is super great

VeGGies
Squirtle allaway.

Lynx and Paint
why people gotta hate on Popplio

VaultSicle
Penguin is mine. No surprise there.

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
popplio is precious

VeGGies
I do like Mermaid Seal quite a bit (but I went Rowlet.)

ex-arch
Because people are meanies 8<

VeGGies
GG'S TOP THREE WATER STARTERS: 1. Squirtle. 2. Totodile 3. Popplio

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
but you can never beat squirtle squad tbh

Lynx and Paint
I actually picked Litten for my run of Ultra Moon and...I've really gotten to like it...

Lynx and Paint
big scary wrestler tiger but he winks at you

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
water starters 4 lyfe

ex-arch
My fave three are Popplio, Piplup and Squirtle

VeGGies
idk what it is about Totodile but they just genetically engineered that thing to hit all my cute buttons at once

Lynx and Paint
I will say that water staters I think have the advantage of most interesting variety

VeGGies
see also: Rowlet

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
nah i was tempted by litten but i can't betray my water starters

ex-arch
Rowlet is best bird

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
(ray you haven't even played sun or moon what are you talking about)

VeGGies
Rowlet is probably my favorite grass starter ever

ex-arch
Same

VeGGies
With Bulbasaur at a close, classic second

ex-arch
Bulbasaur and Snivy are also good, but

ex-arch
Borb

Lynx and Paint
Robin Hood Birb

VeGGies
Rowlet is staggeringly adorable and his grown-up version has such a weird interesting type combo

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
wow no love for fire starters here huh

VeGGies
(And weirdly, loses his Flying type when he grows up)

Lynx and Paint
I like fire starters! Like I said, have fallen for Litten

VeGGies
CHARMANDER <3

ex-arch
Fennikin, Charmander and Cyndaquil are the best fire starters

VeGGies
Correct.

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
i can't not love charmander

VeGGies
It's really hard to supplant the OG3 starters

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
in part because i keep thinking of that one anime episode and feeling an intense need to protect him

VeGGies
There's a reason they're on all the marketing right alongside Pikachu.

ex-arch
The Alolan starters all had good type combos

ex-arch
(But then, I am somewhat biased towards Fairy and Dark types)

Lynx and Paint
uugh I should draw up those starters for the gen idea I had

VeGGies
Like you almost have to put the OG3 in their own category and judge all the others against each other on separate merits

Lynx and Paint
and all the other Fakemon I ended up thinking up too

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
that's true

ex-arch
(When will I get a Fairy/Dark pokemon 8( )

VeGGies
(also complicating this is that Squirtle is my overall favorite pokemon in general.)

Lynx and Paint
haha one of the legendaries I was thinking of for the Fake Gen was a fairy/dark

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
what about a fairy ghost

ex-arch
There's so much potential in that type combo

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
i see those guys paired up all the time in fanart

VeGGies
Mimikyu is a fairy ghost!

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
.....oh!!

ex-arch
Mimikyu is love

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
i didn't know mimikyu was a fairy type!

VeGGies
I love Mimikyu

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
now i love him more

VeGGies
It's


VeGGies
It's a really weird type combo but combined with its truly awesome natural move it can absolutely destroy

VeGGies
The first attack that hits it does absolutely no damage

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
that makes me happy

Lynx and Paint
Mimikyu's trial was so creepy, I love it

VeGGies
So you'll often get AIs that whip out an ultra move first thing and it just does nothing

VeGGies
And because ghost is weak to ghost, you can actually whip Mimikyu out against other ghosts and always win because their first attack does nothing

VeGGies
/pokedorking

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
destroy them mimikyu

Lynx and Paint
I need to catch me one now that I finished the game proper

VeGGies
I really can't stress enough how much Sun and Moon brought me back into the Pokemon game fold

VeGGies
They made so many good decisions

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
lmao i haven't played since like... gen2

ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
go doesn't count

VeGGies
I played gen 1, then skipped a bunch, then didn't finish gen 4, then picked up X/Y and was supremely bored

VeGGies
But S/M was really good and they removed a bunch of the dumb bullshit that we'd just gotten used to

VeGGies
The death of HMs shall be celebrated forevermore

Lynx and Paint
oh man did I appreciate no more HM slaves

Lynx and Paint
and honestly trials was a real nice change from the gym system

twaaaaang♪
oh man. mudkips are the one i've yet to find

twaaaaang♪
it's been nothing but clear weather over here so the treecko are out en masse

Sleepwalker
I never have water starters up here lol

Lynx and Paint
yeah the weather conditions were rainy today and that's when they all started to show up, so that might do it
