Not sure about Decidueye for Sun, Popplio(line)'s color scheme fits him way more. Birb is more for Chicken-chan, imo.
All the other reasoning you gave for your decisions is really debatable as well.
>>32154109
>>32154124
Good arguments, great job as always

>>32154142
Thanks, wish I could say the same about your shitty thread :(

>>32154151
So for an actual faggot, as was the premise in the post, this means that Primarina is definitely a more logical choice.

Also, are you projecting? You seem really upset with Decidueye's design somehow.

>>32154172
It's not an argument, it's a question. What's wrong with Decidueye that has made you this upset about it?

>Brenden
>Sceptile

His starter is Swampert!

>>32154176
Not him, but you seem pretty upset as well about Primarina, just saying: >>32154124

>>32154199
Fair enough, though I used these traits as an argument as to why it's a more obvious choice for a gay character. I don't have a problem with Primarina, personally.

kek
OP BTFO

>>32154211
If you really don't have a problem with it, then you get upset about criticism against Decidueye pretty easily. I suggest you try to give it less weight, you'll just look like a fanboy this way.

>Canon
>Anime

I wonder if the fandom would shit itself if the next game gave the player a choice of more then 3 starters, like 5.

Or just different types than grass, water, fire for the starters.

I know it's tradition, but does that mean it always has to be like that?

>>32154148

Reminder, they aren't Red and Blue with red starte and blue starter, but Red and Green with green starter and red starter

>>32154276
They tried to do that in gen 6 with the dark/psychic/fight trio
but then gamefreak decided to throw that triangle into the fucking trash when they allowed smogonfrog to turn into every fucking type.

>Red with red mon and Blue with blue mon
More like Red with green mon and Green with red mon

>Brendan with Swampert
>May with Blaziken
Yeah not happening, his starter is Sceptile.

>Lucas with Torterra
According to the art, Torterra is Barry's and Infernape is Dawn's so Lucas' starter is Empoleon.

>Calem with Greninja, Serena with Delphox
Same problem as your gen 3. Calem's is Greninja, Serena's is Chesnaught. Delphox is non-MC Serena's starter.

>Sun with Incineroar
I don't even understant why do you people keep pretending Incineroar isn't Kukui's starter.

>>32154349
Isn't Rockruff technically Kukui's starter?

>>32154093
Is there any particular order to that picture?

>>32154395
Alphabetical, now that you mention it.

>>32154093
>May had a Torchic in the anime, she has the starter strong against yours in the games
Then have the canon protagonist be May with Torchic and then Brendan has Swampert which is canon, as seen >>32154189 AND in the manga

Playing the Johto games with Totodile always felt weird. I think Chikorita doesn't look right with Silver.

>>32154349
If we're using arbitrary rules here, Sun's default outfit has Litten style shoes while Hau has green hair that compliments the Rowlet line.

Also, manga.

>>32154453
I personally think it just makes beating him all the more hilarious, especially if you use a female MC.
>I'm going to get the starter with a type advantage over yours!
>Ends up with a faggy plant dinosaur while you have a cold blooded alligator.

>>32154425
I like the manga's system for dealing out the MC's starters.
Just have the starter get the type advantage over the last MC's starter.

>>32154454
>Sun's default outfit has Litten style shoes
What? >>32154142

No such thing as canon starters or protags.

>>32154498
Ah shit I got it mixed up.
It was Moon who had the Litten shoes.

Grass/Fire/Water/Grass/Fire/Water/Grass seems to fit pretty well for the gens

>>32154533
That's what Adventures goes by.
