Why does everyone hate the fake screens. I actually wish the Panda was real...along with the Scorpion...maybe. The dolphin is just weird.

I'm pretty sure those aren't the real ones. lol

Those are most likely fake since they look nothing like the official shadows.

I personally think the Scorpion looks badass and the Panda is okay.

No idea what the Water type is supposed to be. But at least they don't look all cutesy like the 4th gens.

I actually wish they were real.

They're actually pretty interesting. Only one I really don't like is the scorpion thing. You gotta see their final evolutions though before you make the determination. I think the green one's the coolest design since the original game, which, by the way, screw all of you, had the best designs of all Pokemon games. I must have sat for hours debating on whether to buy Pokemon Blue or Red (decided on Blue, Blastoise is just that cool) just because of how cool the two Pokeemans looked.

The fake starters look way to "dramatic" and trying to look cool. The only one i liked was the fire ant (unique design) Though from the only picture we have of the real starters, they do look rather un-original. :(

Hopefully the pictures clear everything up.

the thing about pokemon starters for me is that they must go through a 3 phases.

1. somewhat "cute" or babyish but still intimidating

2. meaner and tougher

3. hugea$$

Charmander, squirtle and bulbasaur all had that. They were cute, but not too cute, especially the ways they were originally portrayed. cut out all that special add-on transformation bull**** to get the girls or the really young kids (though it definitely worked). remember, Pikachu was a freaken rat ball with yellow fur. it was ugly as hell when it was first shown, before all the anime makeup.

cyndiquil i wasnt a fan of, but it turned into something worth reckoning with. Totodile fits the bill. chikorita i hate with a passion, and if it hadnt turned into a big dinosaur thing, i would despise it even more.

generation 3 is where it stops sort of. i mean, mudkip was alright, is 3 stages fit well. but then the other 2 went for the small, "pikachu" effect where its size and well, physical build didnt seem to change. Treeko didnt change much each evolution. torchic wasnt intimidating at all, and its 3 evolutions were some ugly chicken/ human combo because they realized that no one would really want a chicken. i mean, if it had become some bad@$$ dragon bird, i would have been, alright.

generation 4 im really not a big fan of. It basically only has small pokemon. and its evolutions just looked uninspired. the monkey (the one i chose in the game) just grew bigger with different accessories. The turtles is basically bulbusaur but looks like a, well, i wont say it... and the penguin is obviously put in there because they knew it'd appeal to, well, almost anybody.

the thing is the later generations' starter pokemons just started to lose their charm. they lost their wow factor, from training them from things half your size to 5 times your size. they used to go from pets to behemoths. now, its like, great, an evolution, i hope its stats rose. In the past, you could tell they kick more *** the moment their outlines appeared after reaching level 30 whatever it was.

whatever, just my opinion :)

These are not the Pokemon that appeared in silhouettes from Pokemon Sunday. Compare the above Pokemon to the silhouetted Pokemon below:

The grass looks the best. The red one is decent too. Not quite digging the blue one though, but the paper fold might've made it look deformed.

Well it's nice these aren't starters. I kinda like them, as I said, but as starters they'd be weak. I can't see a good evolution form for any of them. I'd like to see them appear as wild Pokemon in the game though.

I rather take fire ant and grass panda over these. Seriously, what exactly is the fire type? A cross between a beaver and a bear? I don't even want to know what the water type is suppose to be.

That picture is also FAKE people. There's only one site in the entire internet that gets leaked pokemon information, and it has yet to reveal the starters, any thing else that is coming up is FAKE and not real.

Idk man.. people always say "the first is the best" I honestly don't get that. Same goes on with OoT vs TP, the latter is clearly better but it's just the impact of the first game that leaves a strong memory behind I guess

Green panda/racoon hybrid is cool. I usually go with grass starters anyway, so that's cool with me. The blue one looks like Latios's bastard child.

At least the designs make some visual sense, and don't look like rejects from some failed 90s toyline.

If these are what the sillouettes will look like I'm choosing the Grass pokemon because it looks like a combination of a duck and a dinosaur.

True, and quiet sad. No starter...and very few Pokemon in general have come close to Charizard.

shakmaster13

Whoa!

Blaziken is number 1, dude.

But Charizard can fly. Blaziken is an evolved form of a fire-breathing chicken.

It also has a weakness to electric types and a one hit ko with rock moves.

They are probably fake but they match the silhouettes that Pokemon Sunday and Serebii has up. But it isn't supposed to be revealed until later this week.
