but Stealth rocks makes that 120+ only need to be 60+ to ko.

This secondary type thing is becoming too complicated. Let's forget about that for now and focus on what critters we're using.

I'm going to say we should steer away from an isopod starter considering all the starters have been very cute and charming while an isopod is... not.

[Sengir]

Yeah, in hindsight it may not have been such a good idea. In that case though I'd like to see pure types again (At least for Fire)

And still rooting for:
Stegosaurus or Frilled Lizard for Grass
Hippo or Desman for Water
Ram or Lion for Fire

Design Ideas:
Stegosaurus: Grass Stegosaurus with stonehenge-like stone spikes
Frilled Lizard: Leaves or flower for the frill
Hippo: Blue with a brown Azumarill-like mud patten from the middle of his body to the bottom
Desman: no clue
Ram: Fiery wool
Lion: Fiery Mane

[Dragoon]

I have to go for frilled lizard for the grass type if we're steering away from dinosaurs, I still think a fire ram is a good idea; and if an isopod isn't very good, then maybe a frog? I find it amazing there hasn't been an amphibian water starter yet.

Backing up the pterodactyl ideafor the grass starter since it's not actually a dinosaur

[Baegal]

I wouldn't HATE the idea for a stegosaurus, I really like the idea for a flower frill lizard. for once we could have another starter besides meganium that doesn't have to look all godly and mighty and can finally have a PERSONALITY.

[Koopaul]

Well there's already a Hippo and Pteradactyl Pokemon... So I'm not too fond of that idea, but there's no rule against having two Pokemon based on the same animal. It happens a lot.

Well I'll start a poll for the grass starter.

EDIT: I forgot you can't edit the first post and make it a poll.

[metalflygon08]

If I may...

It could start out mini stegosuar, but move into frilled lizard (or thorny devil, it's Pokemon after all, a thorny devil would go great with pine needles)

I think a fire rabbit that eventually becomes Fire/Dark would be good to (a rabbit shot is a cheap shot so it makes sense)

my design ideas as is.

[Sengir]

EDIT: I forgot you can't edit the first post and make it a poll.

Really? In that case I'll do it for you.

[Koopaul]

Hey thanks. I won't vote because honestly I love all those ideas. I'll just wait and see what happens.

[X Gamer 66]

While the frilled-lizard idea isn't the coolest idea of the four, I'd say it makes the most sense as a Pokemon.

I'm guessing these are going to be sprited in Black/White style?

[Sengir]

that's a good question.

will these be sprited in parts like b/w?

[Koopaul]

Well perhaps if people are willing, I don't know if that would be too tedious.

[metalflygon08]

well if it's any consolation, BW style just requires you to sprite the parts seperately, so that's not hard, and you have a 96x96 canvas instead of 80x80, and with ess shading to compensate for movement.

[Perseus]

IIRC the only other triangles are Fire/Rock/Steel, and Fight/Flying/Rock.

How about Dark/Fighting/Psychic, Ice/Steel/Ground and Ice/Rock/Grass? And I'm not sure about Electric/Water/Ground because Electric doesn't effect Ground
