But I do like it OP. I dont really think it will be real, but if it was I may consider choosing litten for my fire starter.

I get that people want a four legged starter because lord knows we are due for one, but if litten does end up standing on two legs, I wont let that be the only factor that I judged its design on.

It's possible to design a cool, unique, quadrapedal fire cat without just making Litten bigger (pic related)

this is ridiculous how? Typhlosion has a mane of fire, Blaziken has flames from its fist, Infernape has flaming hair, Emboar has a fiery beard. Even other types have their quirks, like Keldeo shooting water from its hooves.
>ANOTHER biped Fire starter
true but on its own merits, the design isn't so bad.

>>
>>27430225
It doesn't even look like it belongs in thundercats. Thundercats are people with cat features. This is clearly a cartoon tiger standing upright.
>>
>>27430254
It doesn't have to be bipedal to be good, but it doesn't have to be quadrupedal to be good either. If we painted in broad strokes like "stands up right and picks up a fighting style in a game involving fighting creatures" then a good number, maybe even the majority, of Pokemon are redundant. There's probably less difference between all the fish Pokemon than Tiger3 and, say, Emboar.

There's two options as far as how a pokemon can be oriented. Upright or quadrupedal. But there's many, many, many, MANY more things that make the pokemon what is than "it stands upright and can fight". This doesn't look at all like any other fire starter except that it stands upright, and, well, I guess is red.

It would just be nice to see GameFreak come out of their comfort zone and design a Fire starter that doesn't fit the unfortunately specific criteria of every Fire starter since Blaziken.

They're doing a horrible job of it, so much so that I now pick a different starter that you can find in an early route.

>>27430424
It isn't about "comfort zones". I'm 90% certain these designs aren't made because "u-uh... how do we make a cool four legged starter? oh shit oh god I cant think of a way just make it stand up!!!!" like you are making it sound. I'm pretty certain how it works is that they come up an idea they think is interesting and appealing, and design it, and it just happens to work best to them as bipedal.

>>
>>27430470
There has been no heel wrestler type character in Pokemon, much less a starter, and drawing ideas from something is kind of the definition of being "inspired" (in this context, the idea of the Tiger Mask wrestler). Having a fire belt made of fire is a cool idea. Having the stripes accent its body to give the impression and highlet its muscles is creative. The design of its face allows it to be very expressive, and using the stripes to look like eyebrows is also a creative use of them. You are way, way, way oversimplifying things.
>>
>>27430384
To be fair, Gen 2 is usually given a pass by genwunners, since it was like a direct sequel to the original games.
>>
>>27430431
That isn't a bad idea. But anthropomorphizing every Fire starter ever is not worth it.

This would kill the fire starter for me.

>>27430470
>Try harder

Do you think we're competing? Are you that bigoted and small minded?
All I'm saying is that it would be nice to see some diversity compared to the other fire starters in terms of it become quadrapedle. I don't care about its typing unless it goes down the route of fire/fighting.

>Bigoted and small minded
When infernape was announced, I welcomed it openly, because they were doing another take on the Fighting element.
I didn't mind at first, but it ended up playing like blaziken 2.0. same type of moves, same type of build.
When Emboar was announced as Fighting, I was disappointed but I still gave it a shot.
In game, my best to use it differently.
GameFreak was nice enough to give it wild charge and Scald, but it still played like a slower blaziken.
Now we're supposed to get this thing?
There is no way it won't play like every other one, regardless of if it becomes Dark. It will still get a ton of fighting moves and the only that separates it from Machamp and the likes is that this one will knee you in the groin.

>>27430558
Grass type starters have pokémon on two legs, four legs and no legs and all of them have different playstyles and movepools. No two are alike.
Same goes for water types.
All fire types are hyper offensive frail attackers with 3 of them being chicken, pig, and monkey reskins with a couple stats shuffled around.
Typhlosion even has the exact same base stats as Charizard.

The water and grass starters are all uniquely designed for battle and in aesthetics.
To say something like buizel and oshawott are even similar is balls on head retarded.

We already have a humanoid wrestler with a champion's belt. If this doesn't get the same or similar moves Machamp does, you'd be disappointed. It's just another reskin and saying, "this one's different because he's a meanie" is mind numbingly retarded.

This is how I know you're bullshit. Infernape played nothing like Blaziken on release. In fact really they don't even play anything alike now, though I suppose you could make an Infernape set that's similar.

Blaziken isnt' speedy. It's a very common misconception and, again, an d easy way to tell when someone doesn't actually know what the fuck they're talking about. Blaziken wasn't fast until it got Speed Boost. 80 wasn't fast even as far back as gen 3, and it definitely wasn't even on the radar during gen IV or comparable to Infernape.

But we're talking about using it in game.
So we clearly mean, RSE which when you use it in game, outspeeds most everything else. Lati@s wasn't in the game as an enemy and most things from previous generations of higher speed, like Rapidash weren't in the dex.
Also, it had a priority move for things that were faster.
If you want to bring up later gens, I'll cite gen 5 giving it speed boost, which tells you what it was mean to do all along.
Infernape is smack dab in the middle of vanilla and speed boost.

>>27431237
Oh right, I see what you're saying.
It's a wrestler... but now with angry eyes and sonic OC smirk on its face.

Because, obviously, Pokemon designs back in my day were grounded in realism and this shit is going too far, and also if it stands on two legs and fights it's a rip off of all the other pokemon that stands on two legs and fights so there isn't even creativity anymore.
>>
>>27431403
So we also should get a water type wrestler, and a grass type wrestler, and a dragon type wrestler, etc because the typing is different and Machamp gets Fire Blast and Fire Punch instead of Overheat and Flare Blitz and doesn't share one or both of its types, even though the type combo's been done before and falls under generic Fighting type coverage.

Is anyone gonna mention that Litten is shown to be the fastest of the 3 starters and learns fire fang? FIRE FANG??? Why the fuck would it know fire fang and use it as a wrestler??? Prove me wrong but I'm pretty sure Blaziken Emboar and Infernape weren't able to learn fire fang, fire punch was possible tho. Lucha Litten over here does not look like the fastest or the one that would use fire fang over fire punch, in that case why didn't GF show off Litten using fire punch in the trailer?

>>27431581
So houndoom has a design based on heel wrestlers and has a moveset based on the design?
>>
>>27431589
it's a cheating wrestler, hence the dark secondary typing
>>
>>27431595
When we have literally thousands, then it would be okay, but when you have half of your fire starters are based around a fighting theme. The concept isnt not okay. Not Fighting. Not dark. It's bullshit.

I mean, 700 pokémon and no clerical fire type. This is boxing yourself into a corner incarnate.
>>
>>27431589
Wrestling has villains.
>>
>>27431619
By that logic, you don't get your wrestler until I get my fire/dark dolphin because it hasn't been done yet.
>>
>>27431636
Why does it matter if it happens when there's thousands or hundreds. First gen had 3 different purple blob Pokemon, 2 generic bird Pokemon, uncountable numbers of generic monster pokemon. This design is executed totally differently from Machamp and Hawlucha. There is no problem. It isn't uncreative, it isn't uninspired, just because other different kinds of wrestling themed pokemon exist. It CAN still be considered those things but not because others exist, but on its own merits.

In that case it still makes the most sense for Litten to evolve into a fucking tiger, not a a bipedal fighter. Game freak just doesn't show things off for no reason, everything in trailers can be used to be taken both literally and speculatively(don't know if that's a word but you get my point). Was it a hint towards litten evolving into a tiger? Was it just showing a move it can learn? Who knows, but again if Gamefreak is going to have Litten learn fire fang, what evo makes more sense to use it, a fucking fire tiger, or a wrestler that fights dirty and shoots fire out of its crotch?

>>27431706
Nice meme and fallacy but the "they" in context were the other fire starters listed, which are not animals that would necessarily learn fire fang, whereas a tiger/cat fire starter pokemon would learn fire fang.

The dirty wrestler still makes sense, biting is a heel tactic

>>27431715
Didn't say becoming bipedal makes in able to learn fire fang, I'm saying how fire fang doesn't fit it's concept. You can't argue the fact that it makes more sense for a fire Tiger to use fire fang versus a Fire Dark wrestler who seems to be based on dirty combat. Fire punch? Yes. Fire fang? Maybe but it's a bit of a stretch just like everything regarding these leaks
>>

>>
>>27431770
The point he's making isn't rhe types, it's the types and concepts. Gens 3-5 were all bipedal fire fighting type starters that were based on, well, fighting. Even if this leak is fire dark it still doesn't change the fact that it's basically the same thing
>>
>>27430991
Kek'd
>>
>>27431672
>He brought up first gen as a standard for diversity
Machamp and Hawlucha are completely different.
Hawlucha emphasizes aerial combat.
Machamp and this are almost the exact same, even showing some of the same wrestling techniques.

And if you're telling me that designs should not be spaced out for diversity's sake, then no further questions.

>>27431673
There are literally no fire type support pokemon. Fire is a heavily focused on type, but the closest we've gotten is torkoal and delfox whose best support role is to put up screens or yawn something to sleep.

>>27431770
We've gotten tropius, a flying dinosaur, and Jumpluff, a cotton ball.
Adding an owl doesn't go against that diversity.
However, if it ends up having the same role and moveset as Noctowl, it will literally be a Grass-type Noctowl.
Same here.
>>
>>27431815
But it isn't "basically the same thing". Being bipedal and being able to fight doesn't make it "basically the same thing". That makes many Pokemon "basically the same thing".
>>
>>27431768
Fire fang does fit the concept, it's a dirty fighter
>>
>>27431421
please stop
>>
>>27431834
I didn't say they "should" be "spaced out for diversity", what I AM saying is that there "shouldn't" be any arbitrary limits that dictate what ideas they can and can't implement. If they come with an idea they think is creative and cool, they should do it, not go "oh shit we made 5 other bipedal fire starters, I guess we can't use this idea we think is really sweet!", that is extremely stupid. Machamp and this are not almost the same thing in any way except the broad brush strokes of "bipedal and wrestling themed". This one emphasizes dirty tactics like using weapons in the ring, spitting, etc. That's as different from Machamp as Hawlucha is from Machamp.
>>
>>27431837
Being a Fire/Fighting type starter almost inherently means you will get the same moves and a similar stat spread.
All three are mixed attackers with similar movepools, Emboar being the most different but worst executed of the three.
They are all literally fire/fighting mixed attackers for three gens straight.
>>
>>27431791
No, it's based on a tiger it's not actually a tiger you moron. Fire crotch over here isn't on all fours. You see in real life there are these animals called tigers and their main forms of combat are using their mouths and sometimes Claws to attack their prey. Why would a wrestler need to bite when it could more easily use a move with its hands, like fire punch? For the billionth time, it makes more more sense for an actual fire tiger to use fire fang over a tiger like bipedal wrestler. It's common sense
>>
>>27431892
Infernape was more different from Blaziken than Emboar was, and even post Speed Boost Infernape still plays totally differently with a wide variety of available movesets that allow it to play many roles, including ACTUALLY being mixed as well as playing support, whereas Emboar and Blaziken have the capability of being mixed but are almost always purely physical.
>>
>>27431845
ok but does it make more sense for a wrestler to use fire fang over an actual tiger who's main form of combat in the real world is using its fangs? No I didn't think so
>>
>>27431899
>No it's basedo na tiger it's not actually a tiger you moron
If it were quadrupedal it still wouldn't literally be a tiger if you want to be a pedantic asshole. Blaziken can still learn Peck because it learned it as Torchic. This is pretty much the exact same issue.

Then like I said, I have no further questions.
If you come up with 20 amazing dragon designs and have space for only 100 new Pokémon, you better be smart enough to wait on most of them.
Because, no matter how different they are, if they are presented in the same environment, they will loose their sense of originality.
That's why people don't like the fact Gen 1 had 25% poison types and only one Ghost and Dragon.

That's because Torchic is based on a chicken. Litten is based on a cat and it will most likely evolve into a tiger. But of course with that logic you'll say, "Oh ok so if it doesn't make sense for Lucha Litten to learn fire fang Litten will learn it at level up and Lucha Litten will still be able to use that move!" Ok I'm now aware that Wrestlers bite and it can be considered as dirty. My main point these leaks are fucking fake, and even if they have some credibility, I'm not arguing that Litten learning fire fang is proof against your beloved leaks, I'm just explaining how regardless on fake or real it makes more sense for a fucking fire tiger to use fire fang then a dirty fire dark wrestler. I don't care if I'm ignorant in what wrestling involves, I don't watch wrestling and neither do a lot of people. But when someone thinks of a tiger or a lion, animals which every single person on this planet should be able to recognize, they associate them with using their claws and fangs while hunting prey. It's common sense and this is a conclusion drawn from actual game footage. The only things these fake ass leaks are able to be linked to are all the information on the website and trailer regarding the May 10th starters reveal. Which yes can be used to make fake concepts wow what a shocker, now be a good boy/girl and wait for the official reveals of the starter evolutions

How are you not getting this?
It's a dirty fighter, so it's going to use underhanded tactics, biting is a popular one. It becoming a wrestler does not negate it's tiger status.
>>
>>27432193
You're the mother fucker here, use your god damn brain. If a tiger in the real world suddenly became bipedal with muscles and hands, it would probably use them more over its fangs. And for the last fucking time, it makes more sense for a fire TIGER to use a fang attack, versus a bipedal version of a TIGER WRESTLER who now has hands to traditionally fight like a wrestler does. Doesn't matter if it's a dirty fighter or if wrestlers actually bite in the real world or not. I didn't even know wrestlers used their teeth until today, do you think most 7 years Olds today will know that? And no I'm not 7, I'm a 90's baby. Regardless these leaks are of course still FAKE and stop making threads about these unofficial shit concepts and wait for the real evolutions, or use already existing information on sun and moon to predict their evolutions like some logical people have been doing
>>
>>27432111
They should save it for a time where is appropriate.
Again, imagine if they had several designs for fire starters that were all based on dragons.
>"We already have charizard"
>"But this one has a dark typing"
>"But this one is an Eastern dragon"
>"But this one is a humanoid dragon"
The problem is evident when fans see the pattern.
They'll expect yet another and another, and no matter if the design is so orgasmic that FurAffinity blows up after every game release, it's still a shitty thing to do, especially if the share the same fucking type.

>>27432079
They are all fire fighting mixed attackers.
Look it up for yourself.

>>27432112
Try Mach punch for Quick Attack, Double Kick for Fury Swipes, and Flame Wheel for Blaze Kick.
Try the fact that Infernape get Calm Mind and U-Turn plus a copy paste of Blaziken's TM learnset.

>>27432374
What makes this time not "appropriate"?Gamefreak isn't thinking in totally backwards ways that don't actually matter like whether the pokemon is bipedal or not, they're thinking in how interesting or cool they think the design is. There is no "pattern" of fire starters being bipedal, it just so happens that the ideas they came up with ended up having designs that are bipedal. There is nothing more to it. besides that, the dragon example also does not make sense or work and is appropriate as the type one. There's no other tiger starter, and there's no other wrestler themed starter. There are other starters that using fighting styles but they aren't the same thing or even necessarily derived from each other. Emboar isn't even BASED on a fighting style or anything, it just 'is" fighting-type for some reason. Infernape is based on a character archetype that is associated with fighting, and Blaziken is I guess supposed to be kick boxing or something but even there I don't think it's necessarily explicitly based on a certain kind of fighting.
>>
>>27432441
>What makes this time not appropriate?
4/7 fire starters would be humanoid and either be Fighting-type or have mostly Fighting moves.
Their would be no quadruped fire starter in 7 generations.
Only 2-3 other subtypes would have been explored.
I didn't even read the rest. Doesn't even matter.
>>
>>27432512
Why does it MATTER that they're humanoid? Is it more creative to make a tiger stand on all fours? We don't even know what this one learns yet, and even if it did learn a lot of fighting-type moves, why is that the metric by which the similarity to another pokemon is measured and not how it actually plays? Being quadrupedal isn't inherently better at all, and niether is being bipedal. They shouldn't be concerned AT ALL with whether their designs are one or the other, as they have clearly shown they aren't, because it doesn't matter, what matters is the idea. If the defining trait of every fire-type starter had been "it's just that animal standing upright" then it'd be an argument but it isn't. Don't even know what you mean by "subtypes".
>>
>>27429517
Looks like something taken straight from those late 80s action mascots.

I'm not those guys, but whether or not these leaks are fake, your argument is shit.

You're basically saying that these leaks cannot be true because litten learns fire fang, even though it disproves nothing because it would still fit the concept of a tiger heel wrestler.
>>
If its real I'm naming mine Pyroresu
>>
>>27432599
Mine will be called King
>>
>>27432555
So you're literally saying that a fire starter that shares the same type as three other fire starters, that just so happens to stand on his hind legs when an ordinary tiger doesn't is more creative than a tiger that stands on four legs and share some completely different new trait never seen before in any Pokemon at all.

Cancer.
>>
>>27432624
We don't what type it shared between 3 other fire starters besides Fire-type, which is a given for a fire-type starter, and yes, I 100% cna say with full confidence that this design, given no other information about what a quadrupedal version of it is other than just being quadrupedal, is more creative.

Except those moves show off the difference in concept and design. Mach Punch shows Infernape's main fighting style is his punches and that he's fast, fury swipes because he's a monkey, flame wheel to illustrate how he moves. Blaziken's show off his leg strength and that his primary fighting style is kick based.

Scroll up that's not what I meant. I specifically said that I'm not saying that these are fake bc litten can learn fire fang. They're fake for many other reasons but I was saying how based on information we already know on Litten including it being fast and learning fire fang makes the most sense for it to evolve into a quadrupedal tiger. Every point I made seems to have escaped everyone else as they conviently took small parts on what I said and centered their arguments around them.

Those fucking paws. Seriously, what were they thinking. So goofy it brings the entire design down with it.

I already posted this image on another thread but that thread ended up disappearing. I post it here because I think it's relevant.

Now, while this particular Litten wrestler leak may be fake, we should consider the idea that GameFreak will give us another bipedal starter.

Most fakemon designs depict Litten as evolving into a quadrupedal big cat, and while some of these designs are very nice, I feel they may be too predictable or obvious (considering how often GameFreak likes to pull the rug from under us).

This design however, is radically different from what everyone else is drawing. While it may not be real, it's certainly made us think about what direction Litten's evolutions could go in.

Personally, I like the design and I understand that not everyone is a fan of it. That's ok. There are plenty of other designs I personally don't like but it's all good. I just think this one in particular is refreshingly different and clever. It's a fun design, at least to me.

Like garbage

Absolutely not.
I was a fennekinfag and jumped ship when I saw Delphox. As a Littenfag, I'll jump ship if this abomination is real.
I switched to Greninja last time, this time I'd probably switch to the Grass one, despite Rowlet itself being my least liked.

rowletfag here

I like it. It looks like a gay baby of Tiny Tiger and Koala Kong.

>>27429517
The paws look dumb, but it's the better design of the three. I'll be glad when they're proven fake, though. I'm so tired of seeing them.

Most genwunners dropped the game mid gen 2 and don't know what was in it because of the poor distribution.
