I like Cinderace, it’s one of the best starters,

But If we get a Pokémon, I really hope it’s not Cinderace.

There’s so many other Pokémon that would offer unique typings, rather then us having 3 fire starters.

There’s the Urshifu Line, with super fast fighting styles and it’s crazy we don’t have a fighting typing Pokémon in a fighting game.

Rilaboom could bring a seeet sound based moveset and be a grass type final starter. More importantly, Grassy Glide would be a fun recovery.

Intellion, would be like James Bond which sounds amazing.

Toxcrity giving us a poison and electric type with a lot of moveset potential would be Really cool to.

Or Decidueye for Legends Arceus and so it gets a second chance for, but it’s pretty likely Decidueye isn’t in Legends Arceus.

I wouldn’t be mad at Cinderace but, for once we have so much potential in the Pokémon options.
I wouldn't want it to be Cinderace, or any other starter. Starters have already started to dominate the Pokemon representation in the roster. Urshifu and Toxtricity like you mentioned would be cool (though you're wrong about there not being a Fighting-type in the game already), but I am mostly hoping for Dragapult or Hatterene.

Honestly as someone who got rubbed the wrong way by the whole Plant Gang thing
I don't think I would like that
Honestly I really just mean to dunk on the people who start **** and take speculation way too seriously.

I have nothing against Chief fans or Crash fans in general. Hell, I am a Crash fan.

my office, probably
I mean, I'm not one to dunk on ones most wanted, but I gotta be honest the memes are pretty *ing funny. I mean, the Geno slander after Plant and Sephiroth was hilarious, and I can't wait to see Crash fans get * on.
Yeah no, this is the exact kind of attitude that rubbed me the wrong way.

It's not a pleasant feeling when your most wanted gets disconfirmed. It stings, especially if it's someone that will never have a chance again. Sure, it's inevitable, but the least you can do is to not dunk on people whose most wanted didn't get in.
Sure, it's just a video game, and some people take it too seriously, but this type of behavior isn't much better.

Hisuian forms are still the same Pokémon, just a different form.
Though I will concede that if a hypothetical Hisuian Decidueye would be CP11, we would have seen it by now.
I think if they have different evolutions it’s without question New Pokémon, not hisuian versions. So it be among the lines of basculegion or Cleavor.

Lol I forgot Lucario was even in the game.

Dragapult would be a really cool choice to, but I don’t know if it’s one Sakurai would go for.

The worst thing Mario RPG, IMO, are the menus. It’s still a good game, but why have such complicated menus? Especially in battle. Why do I have to pick commands with buttons? Why not just a menu like in Final Fantasy?

I fully believe the starters will get something, because then they can sell more toys.

My only question is how will it be explained? It was said that these starters were brought over from their home region, it wouldn’t make sense for them to evolve different thanks to adapting to different conditions.

Maybe they’ll pull something like “Arceus’ influence triggers different evolutions” or something. That was the explanation for the Lycanroc’s back in S/M.

They’ll be connected to DR.

If you did a genocide run in UT : )
Nah, there's evidence that even without a Genocide Run, they still might be a big presence in the game, if this and this tumblr page are any indication.

Of course, i'm still keeping my doubt, since a tiny part of me think it might be Kris, if only because i'm still kinda torn if I actually like this twist if it's indeed real.

the Zelda CD-i games are better than all the games combined

Shoot me, Wind Waker and LTTP are better games
Honestly, the main reason I like BOTW is because of how different it is from the rest of the series. That’s the main draw for me, in addition to the open world and how well made it is.

But also because it was my first full experience with a zelda game that wasn’t a spinoff like Triforce Heros, sooooo.... :yoshi:

My guess is that living with people from all these different regions( because this game is placed in an era of Japan we’re they frequently had visitors from other countries) inspired the starters to take on these peoples life styles and influence their behavior and capabilities in battle from these people.

My og theory is that Deltarune takes place in a world Chara rebuilt after you destroy everything in the genocide run and give Chara the soul. It’s why the monsters are on the surface, why your friends from Undertale are present, why Asriel is alive, etc. it’s the world Chara wants.

Now that’s just a theory. And it doesn’t line up with everything we’ve seen. But if I’m proven right in some way, I’m gonna scream dude.
