Why?

>None of the starters Fighting type

It's fake.

>>28390167
I was actually going to bring this up as well. Dark/Fairy/Flying isn't a triangle is it?

>>28390238
They don't seem to go together like Gen 6's did.

Plus shoving Fairy typing down our throats even more with a starter.

>>28390296
gen 6 was the only time when the secondary typings formed a proper triangle.

>>28390296
Are there even any other triangles?

>Guys they have to be fake because it isn't a triangle like in Gen 6
>Gen 6 is the only gen with a triangle
>Unless you count Empoleon having Ice moves I guess

>>28390352
Rock - Flying - Fighting

>>28390310
They don't have to.

>>28390325
its not like fairy doesn't suit it

Ice - Ground - Steel

>>28390325
You have three options, nobody is shoving anything down your throat.

>>28390405
No, it does. That, or Psychic, because of its attack pose showing it has control over the hair beads by making them into bubbles. Could, in theory, get access to Psyshock.

>>28390425
And wouldn't ya know it, all three options suck!

Why do you people want these things to be real?

>>28390296

Maybe in a alternative dimension, but yeah, this seems rather odd, although these types are a perfect fit to battle against the Kalos trio.

Although remember, we already had odd generation trios where secondary type wouldn't form some sort of balance in order to still make it balanced.

And it's definitely weirder they'd just hand out a type combination like Water/Fairy right from the beginning. If I'm not mistaken, that type combination is awfully good against a certain number of starters, unless they have a move fit to battle against it.

>>28390296
is it a rule they have to be a triangle? just because they did it last generation doesn't mean it's suddenly a tradition of the series that can't be broken

>>28390467
Most of us don't want them to be real. We just came to accept that they are.

For the birds, anon

>>28390167
Me too anon, that's why we wait until the starter evolutions are actually confirmed

>>28390478
Though you have to remember that Popplio is a special wall (we saw early stats in the E3 gameplay, which showed that it has high HP, Special Attack and Special Defense but shit Speed and Attack) which means that a lot of physical starters have a chance to outspeed and instakill.

>Pulling the vine

Wouldn't the hood close as it gets pulled like in the concept art.

>>28390478
Agreed, Water/Fairy is a good dual type. It'd be one thing if Water had a x2 weakness to Poison too, but it doesn't. Add to the fact most water types get access to at least Ice Beam, Popmaid would be too overly powerful against Luchalitten and Robinhoot.

>>28390467

I don't know, maybe because there are people that like them? It's not rocket science.

>>28390467
They don't.

After mallow blew up and """"confurmd"""" them, there was a strawpoll that lasted a whole day and broke 900 unique IPs--it had options for each of the three starters, and "box."

Box was in the lead for most of the day, and was only eeked out by rowlet by like a single percent.

The vast majority of people on /vp/ don't want these shitmon, but its more fun to shitpost about denialfags and how they're confirmed for 4 months than it is to NOT have something to shitpost about. Or that it is to just hang out in waifu threads all day.

So they're popular topics of conversation, but not popular pokemon by any stretch. I expect that /vp/ will be orders of fucking magnitude nicer to these things than the general public will, too. Imagine a normie genwunner gofag deciding to look at the new pokemon games, and the first thing he sees is that the 'new charizard' is fucking

lucha
litten

It won't go over well.

>>28390597
If these atrocities are real, I'm already preparing to bring a Lvl. 5 Houndour over to act as my starter for my Sun nuzlocke. Much rather prefer badass Doberman over stupid bipedal baracat.

>>28390632
My man, I've been using a randomizer to rock a houndour for a starter on my PC for every generation since III. I haven't played a pokemon game on release since fall 2002.

Even though the starters are shit, I think I'll go through ORAS to get me something similar to actually play Sun/Moon on release this time. The allure of a fully 3d experience and pokemon snap and customization and all this shit is too much.

Houndour or eevee... havent made up my mind

>>28390467
Who said we wanted them to be real?
I absolutely despise luchalitten, but I'm not dumb enough to think that just because I want them to be fake, that they are fake.

>>28390167
Yeah, it feels weird. But shit is not confirmed yet.
And there is the possibility of two final forms for each starter, at least it is one of the rumor. We may have them mixed up here.

But, how would it be balanced. Grass/Flying seems correct, the others would be what?
Fire/Thunder and Water/Ground?

>>28390632
I boxed my starter for the first time in XY and I'm ready to do it again.

>>28390488

If Rowlett 3 is grass/flying, will it be flying in battle? Is there even an evolved flying mon that stays on the ground during battle?

>>28390727
I actually feel the opposite.
I was on the edge Rowlet train until the leaks gained credibility. Litten just wasn't my kind of design but it's evolution is a fucking bro imo.

>>28390727
I might go for everstone Litten, or if Litten2 isn't too much of an eyesore, then Eviolite Litten2.

>>28390720
I don't think we need a secondary triangle; I'd rather see more unique secondary typings instead of the usual Fighting sub-type, in some way, we've had for 4 gens straight.

>>28390765
Dodrio :^)

>>28390727
I never used unevolved stuff unless it's actually good like eviolite porygon2.
If the evolutions are shit the whole line is ruined for me.

>>28390754
how is that a triangle if both grass and water shit on fire? fire has no way of fighting anyone other than grass

>>28390708
nah the types are supposed to compliment weaknesses, so it would be like

Grass | Flying
Fire | [Grass] [Fighting] [Bug]
Water | [Electric] [Ice] [Rock]

where the Fire and Water types match correctly too, given that Rowlet is Flying

>right?

>>28390765
Unless sky battles come back not likely I imagine many of the gen 7 flyers will be grounded. The 4 islands dancing bird seems to allude to it.

>>28390717
This will be my first ever starter boxing if they are real and there's no other alternative like day/night unique evos.

WHY DO THEY KEEP TAKING THIS AWAY

>>28390836
Ever heard of professional/heel wrestling? It's fake and overly filled with cheaters, dark types usally use unfair ways to attack (the sheet art states that it spits oil onto enemies to make the burn from it's belt even stronger and it also smashes a table at a god damn little pikachu).

It's not about whether people WANT them to be real or not, people BELIEVE that they are real because they think there is solid enough evidence that supports the starter leaks.

Which is also why denialfags are so retarded. Most of them don't even stop to think if the leaks are real or not, they just don't like the starters so they deluded themselves into thinking they aren't real against all evidence.

Also bold text on 4chan when?

>>28390597
That's actually what's happening. The vast majority of normal people who took a look at the leaked starters are righteously disgusted. The majority wanted a quadrupedal beast with a ring of fire motif, not a shitty wrestler. The majority wanted a goofy clown, not a shitty mermaid. The majority wanted a cool ringmaster, not a shitty archer. They're already the most unpopular final stage evos ever.

Google image search for all the starter evo speculation in fanart

It was all quadruped tigers and manly seals. The one that was most different was Rowlett, if only because the ringmaster thing didn't seem like a good sell.

Do you seriously need citation to know that a Fire Starter standing up and doing weights is a meme at this point?

>>28391503
The funny thing is that Popplio is already the most hated starter, but people wanted to see what kind of an awful clown it would evolve into. Since Popplio becomes a siren instead, everyone's expectations are dashed. And trust me, when people has their expectation broken, they will be angry.

Mark my words, Popplio3 will be the most hated final stage starter ever in the history of Pokemon.

>>28391561
I could see it. Popplio was already my least favorite of the three, and the evolution being such a departure from the first stage hasn't made it any better. I'd imagine many who actually liked Popplio would be quite disappointed.

It's going to be like Oshawott all over again, except with an extra level of waifubait on top.
