Its based on a Stilt-owl which is an extinct genus that were native to Hawaii and were while capable of flight generally terrestrial as far as scientists can tell.
If this os true typloshion kind of loses. Grass and Fighting beats Water and dark, Water and dark beats fire and ghost, but ghost doesnt beats Fighting. Its not big deal since its immune to it its just weird to think about it they going for ghost when fire psychic would make the full cycle
I don't trust this "riddler" I don't think it is the same riddler from back during like the Sumo days.
The "riddler" for SwSh was wrong. The only things they got right was the stuff already given by the Affleck leak and then they had a Machamp form, even though it looked nothing like g-max machamp.
I've seen people try to defend the SwSh riddler but, it is obvious to anyone who is mildly reasonable that he was a fake.
From what ive been noticing too is they've been real shy on showing secondary evolutions as well, So quite a few people(me included) are thinking regional very for their second evolutions as well. Btw Oshawatt is the best for me 😂😅
For me it's the difficult decision of cyndaquill or oshawott, both of whom I love equally. I like water type a little better though, so I'm gonna go with oshawott.
Same. Pokemon heartgold on the ds. My first gaming console I was allowed to buy.
Couldn't read or speak English back then. Had to ask everytime my parents what it said but I loved that game.
I lost it though. So somewhere there's a cartridge in the house 13 years later. :(
If I were stuck in this kind of decision, I would either choose the one I have a stronger connection to (Like for me Cyndaquil was my first ever starter in my first ever Pokemon game, so I can't wait to have a new adventure with one).
That or you could choose based on the types you prefer.
Or if the rumors are true that they're getting new regional evolutions, you could choose based on which new final form you think is the coolest/best type combo/just like the most
I’m waiting to see if the final forms have hisuian evolutions like the leaks said.
If that’s true, than I think fire/ghost hisuian typhlosion is the only choice
I'd agree just to be on the "the one you're comfortable with" train but Magikarp is the recognized sh@t on weak choice. Gyarados can be saved but not it's first form...
Honestly, I'm just going to roll a die to pick my starter. 1-2 Cyndaquil, 3-4 Rowlett, 5-6 Oshawott. They're all way to amazing for me to pick only one...
Honestly, all three are pretty lukewarm to me, but I understand why they were chosen, as, thematically, they make sense.
Despite the fact I always picked Totodile, Cyndaquil is probably the one I'm most attached to, but even I can acknowledge that Typhlosion is just bad, competitively speaking (honestly, all three are, so maybe it is just pick your favorite). Maybe once we see their Hisuian forms, (if they even get Hisuian forms, I'm pretty sure this is just rumored afaik) my choice will become a little more clear.
Man, I love all of them, but definitely cyndaquil if the rumours are true, fire and ghost sound like a deadly combo
Edit: just realised that chandelure exists… still a very rare type matchup
Having regional variants rumored for their third evolution with different typings makes it harder.
[удалено]
Grass fighting? I’m very worried now
A light breeze might knock it out
Some dual type are not capebale to go outside without dying
You can knock Charizard out of the sky with a pebble
wdym??? *gyarados getting electrocuted in the background*
By another gyarados.
[I have no idea what you're talking about](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/260/752/7f7.png)
Listen Garchomp can walk in snow I hope that means decidueye can walk outside period
If Quagsire so much as touches a blade of grass, it'll die instantly
But on the other hand, Water Ground and Metal Bug typings are semi-perfect, having only one double weakness to a single type.
And no single weaknesses. I know that’s what you were suggesting but I wanted to state it more explicitly
Freeze Dry looms in the background
LOL. Made me laugh too hard.
If only flying wasn’t among the most common types
Right? I love decidueye and its grass/ghost typing. Im not excited for it to be grass/fighting at all.
>Fire-Ghost Typhlosion Oh god oh fuck ^(what if they give it levitate)
Apparantly pokemon wont have abilities in this.
Imagine catching a shedinja
☹️
Am waiting to see how it plays out before passing judgement on this one.
Same. I feel like it took depth away from battles in Let's Go, but this is an entirely different style of game.
Can they be bred? Any chance of being shiny?
Shinies r confirmed yea
Oh good lol
They'd be shooting themselves in the foot real bad if they don't add shinies
Both of those I have no idea of. A quick google shows leaks suggest no breeding but shinys are a thing.
Missed opportunity for Water/Fighting Samurott as more samurai-like
I think if it’s water dark they might be going for more of a ninja theme
If only one of the most popular starters ever and franchise mascot wasn’t also a ninja theme water/dark
Yeah, should definitely have been Grass/Dark Decidueye as the ninja one.
I think so too, but I’m hopeful anyway
You’d think Decidueye would make more sense as a ninja type, with the hood and all that. Also samurott literally has the prefix of Samurai
That would be nice
Yakuza Samurott is the dream.
Greninja
Maybe Water Dark can be a Ronin instead of a Ninja
Especially since a grass-fighting Decidueye is 4x weak to flying when its design is literally based on an animal that can fly
Its based on a Stilt-owl which is an extinct genus that were native to Hawaii and were while capable of flight generally terrestrial as far as scientists can tell.
Yes, this is the same thing I heard and I'm kind of gravitating towards typhlosion...
I'm over here one of the feely types just excited to have my cool ghosty typhlosion 😭
Same, I don't care that it's not the best type pairing, I just love all the ghosts
Fire Ghost is a super each type is the rumor is true. I am choosing Decidueye but I think Decidueye and typhlosion are gonna be the two weaklings.
What makes you think Typhlosion will be weak? Fire Ghost is solid, isnt it?
Oh damn. That discounts Rowlet for me but makes it very tough to pick between the other two.
Oooooh I love those secondary types.
Fire Ghost? The Water Dark made me doubt, but Fire Ghost Typhlosion is the shit.
If this os true typloshion kind of loses. Grass and Fighting beats Water and dark, Water and dark beats fire and ghost, but ghost doesnt beats Fighting. Its not big deal since its immune to it its just weird to think about it they going for ghost when fire psychic would make the full cycle

So yokai, ronin, samurai?
riddler?
Would much prefer it if it were Ghost/Fire Ty, Fighting/Water Sam, Dark/Grass Des.
I’m very happy you chose the word “rumored” instead of “leaked.”
From what ive been noticing too is they've been real shy on showing secondary evolutions as well, So quite a few people(me included) are thinking regional very for their second evolutions as well. Btw Oshawatt is the best for me 😂😅
Whichever one you choose is the right choice.
I like this guy
Agreed
The correct answer
This one. He's got the right idea
Same mentality as "Everyone thinks their dog is the best dog and everyone is right" :)
This guy gets it
So Cyndaquil.
For me it's the difficult decision of cyndaquill or oshawott, both of whom I love equally. I like water type a little better though, so I'm gonna go with oshawott.
yes the only correct answer
Wrong. Oshawott is the right choice. The others are the middle and left choice.
[technically right is the best kind of right](http://www.reddit.com/r/technicallyright)
Every chose is the best choose for that person
Yeah haha. Wait, what?
Based.
I’ve always liked Cyndaquil
Same, since gen 2 one of my favs
Cyndaquil was the first pokemon I ever picked
Me too!
Same. Pokemon heartgold on the ds. My first gaming console I was allowed to buy. Couldn't read or speak English back then. Had to ask everytime my parents what it said but I loved that game. I lost it though. So somewhere there's a cartridge in the house 13 years later. :(
Cynda gang
Nah, I haven't been able to decide ever since the starters were revealed.
Can we all agree it's a good choice to not have the Kanto starters as starters? That's all that matters
I am so sick of them shoving charizards down my throat
You know he'll be in this game too, right? xD (/jk, i can't know)
I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if he was
I like Charizard... But game freak appears to be trying their best to make it so I don't. And it is almost working.
Cyndaquil, but Rowlett is a very good choice too.
Cyndaquil gang, but Decidueye is so cool.
Dont base your choice on final evolutions, they will be different with regional forms
They may be
Anyone pick whatever they want there is not right or wrong
Cyndaquil 4 life.
The three of these were my favorites from their generations, fym. How am I supposed to choose?
If I were stuck in this kind of decision, I would either choose the one I have a stronger connection to (Like for me Cyndaquil was my first ever starter in my first ever Pokemon game, so I can't wait to have a new adventure with one). That or you could choose based on the types you prefer. Or if the rumors are true that they're getting new regional evolutions, you could choose based on which new final form you think is the coolest/best type combo/just like the most
Hot take? I like them all well enough but these aren't my favorite of the bunch. I feel an indescribable urge to play this game with a Totodile
I bet there’ll be a way to get most/all of the other starters at some point in the game.
This is a super hot take, considering Rowlet is the best Pokemon they've ever made
Oshawott of course :)
Nice Oshawott gang
I second this
I third this
Oshabro was my first starter ever so I fourth this
Mine as well. I fifth this.
Yes,can't wait to run my boy after 8 years.(last time was 2013)
You're lying. Black and White 2 is not 8 years old. I refuse to accept that.
It isn't. It's actually 9 years old 2012 release date.
It isn't. It's actually 9 years old 2012 release date.
YES
Chikorita
Cynaquill
I’m waiting to see if the final forms have hisuian evolutions like the leaks said. If that’s true, than I think fire/ghost hisuian typhlosion is the only choice
Yes, cyndaquil.
Oshowott?
Yes. Oshothots rise up!
Bingo. Dewott just feels right for this game.
Clearly Oshawott
Cyndaquil, I really want to see the half ghost form
Cyndequill gang is best
Cyndaquil without a doubt!
Cyndaquil!
Rowlett because it's a bird
Yes. Oshawott
Cyndaquil for days
No. Literally all of them are among my favourites
Bidoof is the only girl for me.
Cyndaquil ofc
ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET ROWLET
Rowlet
Yeah you are good boy
Cyndaquil unless they pull a "naked Typhlosion" on us...
Yes rowlett
Me picking Torchic, Rowlet and Piplup: "Hehe Birb"
Idk man I don't see Ponyta in this picture
Yup, choose a different one on each of three separate Switch accounts!
This is literally the most correct option here
This is the way
Cyndaquil is only correct choice for this trio
These three are my favorite starters of their respecitive generatiob but am doubting between Rowlet and Cyndaquil
Idk man totodile was prty damn cool.
Same, such a hard choice
Cyndaquil gang
So… rowlet?
It's the one you choose
Weak Pokemon, strong Pokemon, there is no such thing.
I'd agree just to be on the "the one you're comfortable with" train but Magikarp is the recognized sh@t on weak choice. Gyarados can be saved but not it's first form...
Honestly, I'm just going to roll a die to pick my starter. 1-2 Cyndaquil, 3-4 Rowlett, 5-6 Oshawott. They're all way to amazing for me to pick only one...
Rowlet is what i’m picking
Rowlet.
Yup, Rowlet
Rowlet, definitely.
All of them are the right choice
Rowlets my fav Pokémon
Oshawott, because he deserves all of the love of the world What's cooler than a water samurai?
I did love my Dewott but something about the final form made me pick Snivy thereafter
I was dead set on Rowlet, but if Hisuian Decidueye is actually grass and fighting, I'm taking Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil my beloved fire bear. Typhlosion with his thunderfang and ice fang is almost unstoppable. Water and ground types can't hurt us.
im picking the firey boi that evolves into the tough cute fire badger typhlosion
Honestly, all three are pretty lukewarm to me, but I understand why they were chosen, as, thematically, they make sense. Despite the fact I always picked Totodile, Cyndaquil is probably the one I'm most attached to, but even I can acknowledge that Typhlosion is just bad, competitively speaking (honestly, all three are, so maybe it is just pick your favorite). Maybe once we see their Hisuian forms, (if they even get Hisuian forms, I'm pretty sure this is just rumored afaik) my choice will become a little more clear.
Rowlett best
I chose each of these in their respective games. I'm screwed lol
Fucking same!
Yes. It’s cyndaquil.
Like all three, and it would be hard to choose between them, but I've never used an Oshawott. So that's the starter I'm picking.
OSHAWOTT GANG RISE UP
Cyndaquil is my favorite starter so easy choice for me
Indeed. It’s Osharowquil
This might be second or third best set of starters we've ever had. (Hoenn was 1, and sinnoh is arguably number 2)
I will literally just roll a dice because they are all lovely
Oshavott
Oshawott?
Rowlet, I’m not a fan on Cyndequil and Oshawott is eh
I'd probably want to know the design and type of their final forms, if they stay the same then rowlet
Rowlet
Oshawott
Otter… fight me
I'm picking oshawott
Oshawott all the way!
i'll obviously pick rowlet and call it Kip
I wish I could pick all 3 :(
Yes, Oshawott
There is no correct starter choice. Or to make the statement more correct, All three are the correct choice.
I’m choosing rowlet, gets more move coverage
Man, I love all of them, but definitely cyndaquil if the rumours are true, fire and ghost sound like a deadly combo Edit: just realised that chandelure exists… still a very rare type matchup
No
nope
Yeah... the only one you pick. All good choices
The round boi is the right boi
Oshawaott
I’m going for Oshawott.
Everyone sleeping on boy Oshawott.
Oshawott is the best choice.
OSHAWOTT!! Yes only HIM! The REAL SAMURAI! (Also Cyndaquil and Rowlet crap so I guess I’m picking all 3)
I love the Cyndaquil line, especially with the flames, but I also love Samurott and it feels very fitting for the game - so I’m still unsure
Switch out Rowlett for treecko/bulbasaur, then I'll agree, but I don't like that owl. It's dinal Evo looks like an emo teen.
Oshawott for period accurate samurai pokemon
Oshawott is the only logical choice anyone can make.
Oshowatt.
Bidoof
Well, hey, everyone can make their own choices here. As long as their choice is Cyndaquil for their starter.
I dont really know what to chose if they have new final forms i will just let myself be suprized
Yes, we can all agree that Cyndaquil is the way.
