OH god no.

Definitely fake.

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.

They're definitely better faked than the first ones in this thread, but it's still too early to be real.

Another new Pokemon game, another load of people whining about how whichever game they played most as a kid was the best version, and these young whippersnapper versions don't hold a candle to them.

Pokemon belongs to our generation and it's nostalgic to play and argue about them.

It depends on the game and what difficulty you want.

Gen 1 Fire was the hardest difficulty, Water was in the middle difficulty wise, and Grass was the easiest.

Gen II Grass was the Hardest difficulty, Water was in the middle, and Fire was the easiest.

Gen III Fire was the hardest difficulty, Water was in the middle, and Grass was the easiest difficulty.

Gen IV Fire was the hardest difficulty, Water was in the middle, and Grass was the easiest.

It all depends on the gym leaders in Gen I, III, and IV the gym leaders specialized in types that Fire had trouble with at the start so it was more difficult starting out. Gen II the gym leaders specialized in types that Grass struggled against in Johto grass was only super effective against one gym leader and that was Chuck.

Christ, I'm glad I left my Pokemon phase after the second generation. Things just got progressively worse after that, and these....things only reinforce that. At least I got to experience it in its prime. :(

way to kill your franchise nintendo

Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita were the best

Oh God no. Those three were actually my least favorite starters. It's all about the first gen.

Lies. Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur were the best.

Yeah, I always found (and all my friends) that Silver/Gold starters were criminally the worst by far.

you take that back.

Pokemon now is better than ever IMO, I played Red/Blue, Gold Silver back in the day when I was younger, and the games have improved so much since then. The Pokemon themselves aren't as good, but the games have improved drastically.

You know what would be nice? If Nintendo wasn't so inexplicably afraid to change up the franchise a little bit and the starting three pokemon weren't Grass, Water, and Fire. Knowing Nintendo, that isn't likely to happen.

Both are fake. I know I've seen the first water type starter before on some faker website, and the second set look too unprofessional. Also he first grass type has bigger ears than the silhouetteit's supposed to be of.

I like how people think Pokemon has been getting worse when it's only been getting better.

kontejner44

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

I think people need to take a step back and see how "creative" 1st gen Pokemon were. Pokemon has gone through major changes people aren't even aware of like natures, EVs, and IVs.

Most of the new Pokemon look like someone's random doodles extrapolated into complete designs. The first gen Pokemon mostly had some good inspiration and had some character to them, while the new ones increasingly seem to be wholly inspired by the need for 500 more Pokemon to be in the latest game...

Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Geodude, Graveler, Ponyta, Rapidash, Magnemite, Magneton, Grimer, Muk, Krabby, Kingler, Voltorb, Electrode, Exeggcute, Tangela... So much "creativity" if you ask me. There have been alot of great Pokemon that have come from 3rd and 4th gen.

Why does this thread still exists? The scans are fake, and so are any other images that have been released so far. The silhouettes HAVE NOT BEEN REVEALED. An mod should just lock this.
