Waitwhat, only silhouettes? D:

(Left to right, guessing: Fire, Grass, Water.) Only 6 ways to sort them, unless they changed the type triangle.

KeyholeTV. I was just about to upload my own pomegranatety screenshot. I lagged during the thing you posted and missed it.

Pig starter? Can't think of any pig-themed pokemon. A few hybrids, like Donphan and Mamoswine. But no Pure Piggeh.

Furret. Spoink. Wobbuffet.

Uh are they just revealing their figures today or the full image?

He can also use TVants.

Keyhole is better though, in my opinion. But I've heard some people can't get Keyhole to work and have to use TVants, so felt like mentioning it.


As for the starters -
Can we stop with the tail on fire and leaves growing out the body thing? Surely, there are more interesting ways to tell the player what type of Pokemon it is other than throwing on obvious symbols to the design. Water Pokemon looks like a beaver.

Sandslash evolution, coming soon.

Did someone say Sandscar?


Edit - Meh. Maybe the tail isn't on fire and those aren't leaves. Hopefully not. Can't tell.

They look so derpish.

And I hope the "fire" one, that that thing on his head is his hair not his head.
Middle one looks ok.
I expect the waterone to be a beaver.

On a slightly unrelated note -
I said earlier in this thread somewhere that the camera from Black and White would pretty much just be what we have now, but tweaked a bit so that the landscape doesn't look awkward. I said I had an image that showed how the current games look like when you hack it to force the camera to change angels. I found the picture a while ago, but forgot to post it here:

 Spoiler

Oh god Bidoof is the water starter

Spidey to the rescue with a high quality screenshot:

Ah, now I can actually tell what the fuck is going on in the left picture. That's an arm behind the (probably) leaves. I'm liking the grass starter so far, better not disappoint.

Right Pokemon - Beaver/Platapus/Duck out of water with a fish bowl over its head. Middle - Fire Pig.

left: water, it has some like fins, or at least thats what they look nlike to me
center: Most likey grass
right: fire, people say that the left one is fire beacuse the tail looks like it has fire, but chimchar or torchick wouldnt really look like fire startes in a solouhete

Most grass starters are quadrupeds in their first stage. Treeko can walk on 4 legs, or just 2. Ivysaur is seen walking on 2 legs in 1st gen sprites (made me think its final form would be walking fully on 2 legs...)

But for the most part, grass starters are on all fours. Just felt like pointing that out.

Well, I'm liking the one on the left, whatever it is.

Tried squinting and this is what I see:
