The Problem With Pokemon Starters

We need to change, we need to grow, we need to...evolve.

Geek out with us...

"We've already done sexy rabbit, fat rabbit, the only other choice is Vegeta rabbit."

What's next, samurai rabbit? Sand rabbit? Robot rabbit? Taco rabbit?

[satellizard]

"We were just trying to recapture the magic of gen 1 Pokemon!"

Exactly the problem.

"Failed rat experiment 6"
Loving the reference to Pokémon in the 1800's.

"Shut up onion lizard"
-Words of a flaming lizard

"Just make the starters fighting, steel, fairy."
Next gen: Fairy/Grass, Steel/Water and, of

Fighting/Fire

[GoodGregory]

How did he manage to mispronounce almost every pikachu clone

[bloodystatic]

Fun fact: In Pokémon Black and White, the starters were originally going to be Psychic, Fighting and Dark type before that was scraped.

Plot twist, the Squirtle is related to Bowser, listen to their voices.

“The rabbit just turns into Vegeta”
Me:”So that’s why I like Cinderace, huh neat”

[ablosch]

Don’t forget the common rehashing of “Early Easy-To-Catch Bug Type, ” and the “Useless Fish with killer evolution.”

[davidmathis]

I've never heard Bulbasaur refered to as "onion lizard"
That made my day

[tonyeharrison]

He should’ve chose his words more wisely towards the end.😭

"You're telling me people don't like Pachirisu?"

Nobody tell Dorkly about VGC.

[syr_lyrical]

"You telling me people don't like Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Failed Rat Experiment #6, Dedeene, Togedemaruu, or Morpeko..?"

They left out Mimikyu for a reason: everyone loves that slightly murderous cinnamon roll.

[TylerMcNamer]

I feel like Dorkly is having a mid life crisis at this point.

[ZebraLuv]

"No one likes Pachirisu!"
Not the dragons who lost the championship to a Pachirisu lol.

[olivejuicesoda]

Least we're not getting more Fire/Fight types.
....For now.

Honestly The Fire, Water, Grass starters seems more of a tradition. Though it would be interesting if the Gen 9 water starter ends up being a sea monkey Pokémon and has a dual typing like Water/poison for all three of it’s forms.

“The same mildly different pikachu clones”
“But no one even likes them”
Bruh 🤣

[xhytecodm]

"The only thing left is Vegeta rabbit"
*WHY OF COURSE HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN SO BLIND! IT WAS THE ONLY LOGICAL OPTION LEFT!*
