If the poll on the blog is anything to go by the vast majority of people will be getting the grass starter. At one point more people voted for the grass starter than the fire and water starter put together :-o

That's another reason I'll get the fire.
I don't wanna go with the majority and get the grass.
Plus, fire torches grass in battles,
so maybe I'll have a 1-up battling against my friends early on. <_<

Well, considering I've always chosen water-starter on every 1st playthrough in previous generations, I'll stick to same principle here. Still, I don't really get all hate the water starter gets... :-|

on serebii.com they have shown what are the evo's of the three starters (there still could be an error) and I am not sure about the water final evo (still going to pick it) and the grass final evo looks like it could be related to milotic.

Last I've checked they're pretty sure these are about 90%-100% true.

While I was disinclined to believe the shoddy reasoning Serebii gave for their legitimacy at first as anyone can upload to 2ch, Pokexperto's backing gives it more credence. All this secret source nonsense is a bit ridiculous but Pokexperto did have access to the entire list of new Pokémon from last gen ahead of time, which they of course also got from a secret source, so I'm inclined to believe them.

I'm kind of hoping that it is false.... at least for the final evo of the water type. For some reason the final water evo seems to be off for me.

I was hoping for this to be wrong, seeing as the fire pig evo looks lame, agree?

Personally I think they all look like. Fire pig's line especially so.

Well, there are only so much shapes, animals, plants etc. that you can base Pokemon on, before you run out of resonable concept and ideas. And most of them were already used in previous generations.

Still, concidering what could they make in their minds, these evos don't look all that bad... :wink:

Well... you can always cancel it's evolution or give it an Everstone. :wink: But I agree, first two look better and cuter.
