I'm actually pretty damn excited for this game. I'm not super confident about it yet but I sincerely hope it will be at least as good as Legends Arceus.

I've had a rather productive day having done a load of drawing, crafting and cooking today.

Anyways even though I am very late, so it seems there is a new Pokemon Violet and Scarlet editions with three brand new starters with a grass cat, a fire croc and a water bird. I'm curious to see what their final evolutions will look like.

I do agree with ZephyrZ ZephyrZ that Scarlet/Violet should not use Legends: Arceus' battle system but I still would like to see it as a battle format in Pokémon Showdown just for fun.

Why shouldn’t Scarlet/Violet use Legends battle system?

Oh for ****'s sake don't make the starters bipedal again

I like my Greninjas and Decidueyes but I think no Pokémon demonstrates the problem with continuing this trend better than Inteleon, dude looks lanky as hell and it's uncanny.

I mean, It SHOULD tbf
I don't wanna think about the game for a good while but evidence seems to suggest that it's gonna be in the same style as PLA, which is what I wanted so all I need is for it to actually be good
Oh yeah, it being like PLA is a MASSIVE plus for me

Two of them are bipeds anyway, so...

I hope they find it within themselves to give Sprigatito a unique, interesting, quadrupedal evolution.

Fuecoco's a crocodile so chances are it'll actually go from a biped to a quadruped

It should take some notes but not the whole thing as that was designed more for single player in mind (why didn't the game offer multiplayer battles?)

Plus competitive Pokémon battling is way too important to The Pokémon Company to drastically change it.

Seriously though, I discussed this with my friend today - I feel some of the starters that ended up being bipedal are huge missed opportunities. Especially Emboar and Incineroar.

A straight up fire boar would've been rad and as a cat person I cannot even begin to express my raw disappointment with how Incineroar turned out.

Ironically enough we agreed that Samurott should've been bipedal but I let it slide because I think it looks rad anyway.

Honestly I feel like Fuecoco is the one with the least amount of potential to **** up, and this is coming from a guy who fell in love with Sprigatito on first sight and hates every Fire starter after Gen 4

Crocodiles are just inherently badass.

Quadrupedal, bipedal, as long as it's a big monstrous croc it'll probably look cool.

Now watch it be the skinny twink of this generation.

I bought a few packs of brilliant stars. Just to see if I. 5 packs I could get the charziard v. Got both flygon V Cards though. Which is cool because that’s my favorite dragon.
