Great. Normal, Normal, and Normal Poison. When we said we wanted new Starter types this is not what we meant, Gamefreak.
Trash panda, I choose you. Let’s do crime together!!! Mostly victimless… mostly…
Skunk - Fire type because of the tail shape. Easy to see the tale as fire and it’s scent gland used as a flamethrower.
Raccoon - Water type because racoons like to wash their food in water, when convenient. Look up videos of people giving them packing peanuts if you want a heartbreak.
Opossum - Grass type because they like to hang out in trees. That tail is prime vine whip material too!
Skuntank can, in fact, learn Flamethrower.
And its original animation has it coming from exactly where you’d think.
See I was thinking skunk as the grass poison type cuz you know poison gas.
Water, the spray is a liquid.
Pokemon logic makes any of them work though.
Based on how Pikachu first behaved for Ash, not the skunk. Trash Panda, I choose you!
Opposum is the clear winner. Their little human-like grabby hands are a great asset plus as a marsupial they can carry my loot in their pouch.
They are also immune to rabbies.
The opossum has low offense, but it doesn’t need much with such a massive type advantage with all its resistances.
Keep walking and poof armadillo
If a Pokemon game was set in Arkansas.
Unironically a good idea
The region would be abnormally high in crystal Pokemon.
Opposum! I choose you!
The skunk should be a bat. We need a flying type.
As a starter? Are you mad? We have to catch one just outside of the first town, it’s tradition!
Ok, fine, I confess. I just really like bats…
Vampire spotted >.> [bats are cool tho]
Nah, just the !bats@lemmy.world community mod 😂
I say the plot thickens!! XD
POSSUM used Play Dead. It's not very effective...No no, it should cause a status down like tail whip.
I would assume defense down.
I choose opposum! Very little chance of rabbies. Also 11/10 spunk.
I’ve heard skunks are actually quite well tempered, but I don’t bless if I can deal with the smell.
Baby skunks are adorable. Never gonna let it evolve.
A lot of Pokémon have better first and mid evolutions than final. I always wished there was an item or something to give a boost to unevolved Pokémon to keep them viable so I don’t have to lose my cute bulbasaur or ivysaur to a hideous venusaur, or my beautiful dragonair to that doofy looking dragonite
The item exists and is called Evolite. It only boosts defence though.
Sorry, what I meant was that it does that and keeps them from evolving, at the same time. And evolite doesn’t make them anywhere close to on par with evolved forms, from what I remember
