Water Starter animal ideas

>Platypus
>Water deer
>Anaconda
I'm in favor of these. (all BST 530 assumed)

Platypus:
Ends up as a Water/Poison tanky big bruiser since the closest thing to an offensive mon with that typing is Qwilfish, and the typing is because the platypus is one of the few mammals to produce venom.
HP 97
Atk 82
Def 87
SpA 119
SpD 59
Spe 86

Water deer:
Ends up as Water/Normal with a similar build and Jump Kick coverage as Sawsbuck has.
HP 74
Atk 108
Def 81
SpA 75
SpD 81
Spe 111

Anaconda:
Ends up as a Water/Ghost shadow predator in the same design theory as Decidueye, maybe with a vaguely skeletal body. Pulls an Incineroar but with HP instead of Speed, where the prevos are pure Water and fleshy but the HP drops significantly when it evolves into the final Ghost form.
HP 30
Atk 130
Def 75
SpA 100
SpD 75
Spe 120

They each get their own custom move based on the secondary typing and custom HA since that seems to be the trend.

My best guess for the next Water starter is a small hippo since we haven't had one for three generations now. But it doesn't matter, because Greninja will always be the best Water starter anyways.

A Water Deer should be our first Water starter that would start as a dual type. Water/Normal for STAB Hyper Fang and Strong Jaw as a HA. Introduce a Water biting move too. I'll call it "Saliva Fang".

Who fucking cares what you think?
Keep your shilled frog to yourself faggot.

Anaconda is discarded as a snake will eventually be the fire starter.
I'll go for a crocodile.

And we already have Feraligatr and Serperior.

>>32342587
You may have a point
>>32342596
Feraligator is an alligator, not a crocodile.

I think an Elephant would be a good water starter. Think Phanphy but a water twist.

Could end up as Water/Psychic. Elephants are pretty smart. :)

It's a general crocodilian, like how you're talking about a general snake. Like, an anaconda isn't a garden snake or a cobra or a rattlesnake.

eat shit

And we have like how many dogs? Or okay, just dog type pokemon of one time? Vulpix, Growlithe, Fennekin, Houndour, etc. Four fire dogs!!!! Woah man I never expected even !!!

It's okay if theres one of the same animal/type or whatever, it can work itself out you know man? I would perfer to keep them similar but like, don't act like it would completely rule it out you know?

...Anyway. Newt/Salamander would be a good water/poison type starter, haven't seen that before. Swan would be nice too, but I can see it ending up in the same graceful water whatever that Primarina got stuck with.
Water buffalo? ...Can't go wrong with that.

>>32342636
Why are you acting like this toward my comment? I'm saying we already have Serperior so wanting a fire snake but shooting down the idea of a water snake is hypocritical. The same goes for having Feraligatr and wanting a water crocodile.

>Vulpix
>Fennekin
>dogs
wut

snakes and pinnipeds are overdone

a water opossum or a platypus might be cool, though gf doesn't seem too keen on mammalian water starters

what about a squidmon (like a stubby squid, or a cuttlefish)? or something from the deep sea like a ghost shark or blobfish?

>>32342653
Okay sorry, I was aggressive. It's just really dumb that a pokemon idea is ruled out completely on the basis of how theres already a pokemon with a similar basis, because that's literally been done before many times.

Water type starters are never fully aquatic since they're the first Pokemon a trainer gets, right?

So how about a literal fish with legs?

>inb4 "comedy relief fish"
No but this would be really awesome, it gets all the kick mooves hitmonlee/etc gets!

>>32342716

For what purpose?

>>32344347
STAB Hyper Fang.

I want a platypus

>>32342681
canines

>>32342705
a flying fish

>>32342499
Nice.
Also saliva fang can poison due tue bacterias.

>>32344982
Clever. Literally a physical Scald but poison status over burn.

>>32344890
But they're not. Canids, sure, but canid =/= canine

>>32345751
canids, canines, dog-like. its all the same shit man

I want a pakicetus desu. Make it a hybrid dolphin/greyhound looking thing. As it evolves make it a mastiff. Doggie paddle. Etc.
