Now that D/P remakes are confirmed, who are you picking

>>32679591
Depends are we getting Mega Starters or exclusive Z-Crystals for close combat, eq, and flash cannon

>>32679591
Turtwig

INFERNAPE + STARAPTOR IS MY OTP
THE OTP I WANT INSIDE OF ME

>>32679591
Chimchar cause no fire types in sinnoh

Arceus

>>32679615
Good taste, anon.

How was this confirmed?

>>32679591
pokemon diamond
Infernape
Luxray (intimidate)
Gastrodon (water absorb)
Honchkrow
Bronzong
Rampardos

I'm rolling a die. They're literally all perfect.

Random, I'll breed it and realese it when I get a perfect one and get the other two through the GTS anyway.

>>32679591
Piplup. Hate that fucker in the anime, but Piplup as a species is cute and I live in a part of the world where you would find them wild if Pokemon were a thing.

>>32679671
you monster

>>32679664
You mean storm drain on gastro? I don't think it even gets water absorb.

Chimchar. I've really taken a liking to keeping my starter unevolved until later in the game, and it gets the most pre-evo exclusive moves.

>>32679664
>luxray at all
>fucking rampardos at all
>no staraptor for birdspam core with honchkrow
>no steel/fairy/dragon core
>no fire/water/grass core
>fucking psychic/dark/fighting core

>>32679591
wait when were these confirmed?

Chimchar, but if they add more fire mon options in the regional dex I might box my starter.

>>32679630
>implying that remakes dont fix issues

>>32679610
It will be new dual type moves and z-crystal only usable by starters

>>32679885
>implying oras was a fix

>>32679591
I didn't jump in on ORAS until just a bit before SM so to me it feels way too soon for another remake but I know that is just the case in my world.

Chimchar and starly.

Shinx
hopefully, Luxray will get a good Mega Evolution

>>32679591
Turtwig is the only choice.

Just the coolest fucking starter ever with amazing typing and offensive coverage.

Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Drill Peck
- Aqua Jet
- Earthquake

He does all the work competitively too, cause idiots think it's a special sweeper so they send in their chanseys and what the fuck not.

overall just a bomb ass penguin.

unboosted you can't do shit against a chansey
with boost you can barely 2hko but chansey will not be sent if they see you using sword dance

First one is normal
2nd is +2

>>32680278
Wew

Pick?

Anon, Riolu is the only started available.

>>32680278
>>32680322
Oh yeah forgot, that's a max attack empoleon with life orb vs a typical chansey

>>32679591
piplup
also are there any countdowns to the direct? im still a bit confused with the time zones

>>32680322
You don't send empoleon in on a Chansey. You force out the opposing pokemon with empoleon, and Swords Dance on the switch.
If you're lucky/smart enough to now fight a special wall then voila, another swords dance.

Leftovers or Lum berry are the best item options as well.

it's easier to get 3 SD's, than a bellydrum off on Azumarill. Not even kidding.

>>32680352
it's in about 9 hours.

>>32679591
It depends entirely on if these remakes have Platinum's pokedex or not.

If they do use Platinum's dex: Turtwig
If not: Chimchar

>>32680383
sorry but without life orb you can't even 2hko a chansey with a +2 boost

It's your bro and it's fine but it's not good.

>>32679885
>Chimchar gets retyped as pure Fighting
>Ponyta replaced with Blitzle
>No Pokémon outside DP dex
>Only one event distribution, Manaphy

How's that for a fix?

Possibly the box. If I use any I'll probably use Torterra. I don't care for Infernape and I like Lumineon more than Empoleon.

>>32680459
Shit, don't replace Ponyta. There's so few fire types in the first place!

Mudkip

>>32679591
kms senpai
its shit

>>32680422
then you just go +4, it's not like a chansey can do anything in return lol.
you even have 404hp at max-
desu the most solid counter is ferrothorn.

>>32680592
it takes at least 3 turns to be able to kill a chansey

during that time they can easily D_E_S_T_R_O_Y you

If they can't deal with a shitty setup sweeper then they probably are shit because everyone is running good setup sweepers.

Sorry to tell you this. It's a fun set, I'm glad you're enjoying it but it's not good.

>>32679591
Chimchar since I went with Piplup in Platinum.

Turtwig. Gonna correct the mistake I made 10 years ago. Only time I've ever picked the fire tarter first. Hopefully we get more fire types because I don't want to use Ponyta.
