I found it at the same time, coincidentally enough! I don't really see the issue with it. I bet that pig turns into an awesome fireboar. A lizard, a pig, and a sea otter. Sounds good!

Since it's called 'Black and White' and Isshu is far away from the rest of Pokeland, I'm predicting this will take place in Africa and deal in themes of a post-colonialist society.

Bulbapedia is cake as far as I'm concerned. Look around on the internet, I know for a fact the Escapist has an article on it.

Bulbapedia has never failed me, especially since anything about Pokemon people find on the internet will end up there eventually anyways. I would sooner trust Bulbapedia if it told me there wasn't a Generation V than an e-zine that is carried almost entirely by Yahtzee if it told me there was.

A google search of "Pokemon Generation V starters" did nothing good for me, though.

EDIT: Because this is not the starter roster:

I'll bet you evolve Zorua into Zoroark with a Blood Diamond.  And you have to fight poachers.

[Rashilul]

These are starters.


I am totally gonna take that sad clown thing.

[Grakelin]

What, the sea otter water pokemon?

The thing that looks like it'll hang itself soon, yes. We also have a fabulously smug grass weasel thing and a.... pig. A pig that shoots fire.

[Aqizzar]

That grass lizard-weasel is so pimpin'.  He's mine.  But that pig?  Yeah, fuck the pig.  He's happy enough on his own.

[Grakelin]

It's going to evolve into a BOAR that shoots fire.

I don't think you understand how awesome pig beasts are.

It fits the Africa theme, too, since we can cut off its head and go all Lord of the Flies.

I just realized it's probably the lovechild of Treecko and Cyndaquil. Meaning there may be fire involved.

A fire-plant type?  As a starter?  I doubt it.

Aaand maaaybe we should take this discussion somewhere other than the SAD thread.  This thread goes to some weird places.

Whereas sad clown is more like the love child of a prostitute and a one-time man. Every night he had to hear man after man hammer away at her, before she was ultimately killed by one of them, then driven into a ditch and covered up, never to be found.

Well, it was on topic when I posted it.

And then he wears a mask that changes colors, with a fedora and overcoat, and fights the diseases of society his own way.

Now that's a starter pokemon.

[Acanthus117]

Man, I got sad at the starter pokemon. I miss my Charmander.

Well, I just got sad at the weird-ass water pokemon. I want the piggy.

That otter had better evolve into something awesome. I can't take my favorite animal being like that!

 Also, a pokemon so obscene they had to censor it.

[Rashilul]

... I just got the blood diamond joke.

I am so slow.

The right emotional state and events can even make a good day feel pretty bad by the time it ends...

Tomorrow will be better. I hope so at least. At the very least I hope I don't make my eyes too fitting again.
