wotter

Squirtle.

Snivy is a bad ass all around
Clown otter has a bad ass final evolution.
Fat pig is a fat big piece of shit that fat annoying people choose.

The samurai sealion with horn

Cyndaquil.

>>>/vp/

Wotter.

They're all shit honestly.

what the fuck are these gay ass things, these are pokemon? Fuck that....

Stop reminding me how shitty pokemon are getting.

Also
>>>/vp/

Snivy is the only good choice.

>>111359043

u mad

Tepig. The first two are too full of themselves.

To be honest in Black/White, it's purely aesthetics.
None of the starters have any real use in the long haul.

I do however, fucking love Smugleaf.

>>111359324
What flashcart are you using?

>Snivy
Has a moveset as shallow as a penny, but respectable stats.
Only actually useable move is Leaf Storm.
>Tepig.
Completely shit speed and defenses.
HP is pretty high, but doesn't nearly make up for it.
Flaming beard is the only redeeming factor.
And maybe his Flare Blitz/Hammer Arm.
>Oshawott.
Respectable stats, outshines the rest.
Beautiful moveset.
High Attack and Sp. Attack allows for special and physical moves.

Your choice.
Try to avoid Smugleaf though.

Wotter is the coolest, but his final form is a godawful disappointment. How does an upright samurai otter turn into this lumbering piece of shit?

>My face when /vp/ is so shitty, people who actually want to talk about the game crawl back to /v/.

Honestly though, I am sorry for the shit hole that is /vp/. Bastard retarded manchild of /a/ and /v/.

>>111359454
Supercard DStwo, highly recommend it.

I don't have the game, but i found it immensely retarded when they renamed Smugleaf Snivvy. If I ever get the game, I'm naming it Smugleaf

Although, there is a certain resemblance..

tepig

>>111359061
That is awesome. Too bad the actual ingame sprite looks nothing like that.

>>111359492
Yeah, I was pissed off too.

>>111359492
If it was biepdal people would just complain that it looks like a digimon

>>111359537
>renamed
>implying that his official name was ever Smugleaf

There's no reason to pick any of them for competitive reasons, they all are pretty bad. So pick whichever you think looks coolest. You'll have a slightly harder time in-game with snivy though

>>111358670
>Haven't played Pokemon since Silver/Gold/Crystal
>mfw

>>111359492
Fuck don't remind me. He's the best starter this gen too but that design man fuck so much wasted potential.

Stick with the prod

Anyone play that BlazeBlack/VoltWhite hack? Apparently Serperior is a fucking beast in it.

>>111359767
Prod with the prod

>>111359679
Naw, it isn't a matter of bipedal not being "Pokemon" enough. Countless Pokemon are bipedal, in fact I bet the majority are. Hell, Emboar is bipedal, and so is Snivy and he's a freakin snake.

>>111359939
As is this motherfucker.

Wotter, he's the best thing ever.

OP here. Wotter it is.

>Not picking the water starter every time
ISHYGDDT

>>111358670

hey, i just checked out that supercard website.

it never mentioned, but is it for DSi only? i have the golden tri-force DSlite.

>>111360294
Seriously, each and every one of them has been a safe bet.

What is this, 2010?
Each of these starters are awesome in their own right. Just pick one and deal, can't rely on getting a straight answer here.

However, it's still pretty stupid to make ANOTHER Fire/Fighting starter. Damn, Game Freak, get in together.

>>111359916
Probably because they added a Dragon subtype so you can spam Draco Meteor.
They also boosted its stats.

>2011
>Not blindly choosing water-types as your starter everytime

I seriously hope

>>111360194
It better be adamant

>>111360294
>>111360541

Watermind

>>111358670
I personally just dropped my starter in a box after the first gym. The wild Pokemon in Unova are far more interesting, and I personally think using the starters would be a waste of a team slot.

Darumakka/Darmanitan>Tepig
Pretty much every other Grass type in Unova>Snivy
Carracosta>Oshawott (Alomomola is quite good too, if give it a trollset)

>>111360713
>Darmanitan > Emboar
Correct.
>Practically every grass type > Snivy.
Pretty much.
>Carracosta/Alomowhatthefuck > Samurott
Nope.
Shit stats, and they're both far more defensively oriented.
High defense, and less than desirable everything else.

There aren't any good water types in this game, oshawott is the correct choice

>>111360620

Close enough.

>>111360713
I agree, I started with Oshawott but quickly replaced him with Tympole. Seismitoad isn't great, but dat Water/Ground.

>>111361549
>Not naming your pokemon

>>111361522
Lies. The Ghost/Water jellyfish is amazing.

Also, Bugs win Gen 5, hands down.

>>111362093
>The Ghost/Water jellyfish is amazing.
only in the metagame

>>111362183
This. Something like 30% of the new Gen 5 pokemon are only good in the metagame they make horrible pokemon to go through the game with.

What should I name him?

>>111362183
No, in the actual game to. It's slow, but who cares? It has crazy HP, it can take hits like a champ, it has Water Absorb, it has a great movepool, it has solid special attack stats....

Easy to level too, since you can pretty much SE everything. I'm 7 badges into my Black game and he kicks butt.

None of them. Easily the worst starters to date, they really let you down.

>it has Water Absorb
Doesn't mean anything when the game is overwhelmingly landlocked, and there are only 6 water pokemon in Unova (1 of them being part of jelly's family, and 2 are fossils).

>>111362327
Dicks

>>111362613
Pretty nifty all the same. Really kicks butt for surfing and stuff, he just ruins every water type. And he's immune to 3 types, which is always handy.

So yeah, I'm going to have to continue to refute you. Jellicent is a fantastic pokemon both ingame and out.

Snivy because he looked the least shittest.

>>111362883
>surfing
there are better HM slaves

>>111362948
too bad he it is the shittiest

>>111363029
Meh, I stopped using him after the third gym anyway.

>Pig
>fire-fighting again
>not fire-dark

And there goes my tradition of always choosing the fire starter, and the first time in a pokemon game were my starter got boxed, all three suck

>>111362752

>>111363136
If it had been Fire/Dark, I'd have picked it and named it Ryoga.

>>111359492
Actually Samurott is bipedal, only rears up on 2 legs to bring out his weapons those gold areas on his forearms

>>111363172
Good man.

But really, if you haven't actually named it dicks, you can name it whatever the fuck you want.

Personally I would suggest Finnbarr for a male, or Tiria for a female.

Say what you want about this gen but there was a sarcophagus pokemon which was good enough for me.

>>111361946
Can't name it until you talk to Professor Juniper.

All flashcarts work with DS Phats & Lite, only certain ones work on DSi & XL models but the ones that do will also work on Phats & Lites as well like I said.

You do have to worry about AP in newer games, just get an Acekard (cheapest), CycloDS or Supercard (most expensive & a battery eater as well due to on-board processor for playing GBA games via emulation) & enjoy as their development groups are constantly updating every week or so.

Snivy is the only one who looks good, shame he's fucking shit.

>>111363473
>That feel when you can't be traded unless with a nickname because Nintendo Q&A overlooked a bad word in your name
I'll never see the outside world ;_;

>mfw I have never completed a pokemon game without cheats

The games just got so boring and grindy, how the fuck do I stick with them?!

>>111364289
You must be pretty shitty at pokemon if you have to grind more than once maybe.

>>111363463
>Those names
Why do they seem familiar

>>111364464

I usually grind just for the fact that I prefer being over leveled than under leveled.

Based on a true story

>>111364997

You can't save in SoulSilver?

Fucking finally!

>>111365093

You can't save a new game without deleting the old one first.

I guess Nintendo set it up to stop younger siblings accidentally erasing your game.

>>111365303
> Accidentally
They do that shit on purpose

>>111365189
>Running shoes
Oh boy...

OPEEEEEENNNN YOUR HEARTTTTTTTTT

One thing I didn't like from Black and White was the rivals, and by that I mean that at half-way through the game they give up training and accept that they'll suck forever.

Couldn't they keep going? Freaking rivals.

>>111365749
ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

>>111365932
I did like that they took all the pokemon so that the one pokemon wouldn't sit there being lonely.

>>111365932
They weren't really rivals in the first place, except for Cheren who was a little bit hostile to you.

>>111366114

I'll never have another rival like Wally. He surprised me on Victory Road.

>>111366114

Doesn't Cheren keep going till the end? He totally wants to be the Unova Champ but he needs to open his heart or some shit.

Also is Samurott really so good? I'm building up a team and was looking for a Water type. He can learn Swords Dance but I don't think he has the speed to sweep.

OP here. Any pokemon I should catch early in the game?

>>111367365
the zebra and drilbur

>>111367365
Audino.

>>111367449
NO
THE ZEBRA IS SHIT.

>>111367619
This. Its defense is just terrible.

>>111367738
but it looks cool

>>111367365
drilbur and darmanitan's pre-evo

also timburr if you're a bro.

>>111367365

Spiderbro.

>>111367802
It still gets swept easily by Basculin.

>>111367819
This guy?

popped collar

>>111367802
>looks
>mattering

>>111367955

Yes.

>>111367955
Yes.

get this sexy bug thing

>>111367738
>Get the Zebra
>"Oh, this should be a good Pokemon"
>One fight later he has like 2 HP.
>He fought a Pokemon 3 levels under him.
>He only got hit twice
I started questioning why he was losing HP so fast once I started to grind on the deer things for a bit. Then I pulled out my Wotter.
>Wotter survives over 12 battles losing under half health
and then I dropped that little shit like the piece of garbage he is. A few minutes later I got Joltik and never looked back. I love that little rascal, especially after he turned to Electrovire. Same deal with Scrafty. That guy is awesome.

I went with Tepig on my first playthrough, it's my tradition to always go with the one element to rule them all on my first playthrough of a new pokemon generation.

Overall Snivy is considered the best I believe.

If you're looking for a fire pokemon, go with a Chandelure. Part fire, part ghost, full fucking badass and a great addition to a team.

Also, Vanilluxe.

Fuck. I might have to play this again now, making a team with Serperior, Vanilluxe, and Chandelure.

>>111367802
>implying ass

>they aren't using bugs in gen 5!

>>111368261
>Joltik

>>111365932
N was the rival. He's also one of the best characters in the series.

>>111368738
Golurk is also an awesome character on my team, although I don't feel like giving him fly, he has so many good moves to give him a joke move.

>>111368824
>Final battle with N
Fucking glorious fight.

>>111368824
>He's also one of the best characters in the series.
Damn straight, I just wish he wasn't doing that Pokemon PETA thing.

>Scrafty
>Lilligant
>Seismitoad
>Chandelure
>Crustle
>Haxorus

best pokemon out of this gen

>>111368984
>that music
>that fucking feeling when he has TWO FUCKING LEGENDARIES, GODDAMN

And that fight with Ghetsis after was awesome, B/W had such a fantastic end game.

Op. Get a fucking Scraggy. It will utterly rape the E4 if you put a wide lens on it and use Hi jump kick.

>>111368373
Samefag here, how's this team sound:

Serperior
Vanilluxe
Chandelure
the ninja bug (forget what it's called)
the electric fish (forget what it's called)
a dragon type

Pretty good type coverage, maybe a Bisharp in place of something though?

Snivy is for busters

Oshawott is a faggot and everyone who says otherwise is a faggot also

I like Tepig but
>3rd Fire/Fighting in a row

>>111368939
Fly is a somewhat good move, it carries the benefit of being a flying type move, a semi-invisible turn, and good damage.

You're right though, there are better moves that he can use. Competitively, fly is an awful attack.

>>111368824

I pretty much confirmed my character was gay for him when he went into the Ferris wheel without question when N asked him to.

I tried naming Pansear Faggot or Fag but it didn't let me.

>>111368824
N's just a creepy manchild.

If he didn't come free with bishie sparkles he would be seen as a meager character at best.

>>111369160
No fooling, Scrafty is a fucking beast.
If you wait a while in the game you can get access to Mienfoo, and use that to breed a Scraggy that knows drain punch.

Highly recommend drain punch, high jump kick, ice punch, dragon dance or bulk up.

Gen V has the best pokemon designs in my opinion

this is the first gen where I had trouble making my team, because there were way too many awesome pokemon

>>111369211

Don't like your luchador bro?

>mfw N had a Zoroark
I thought it was a Kilnklang but I hit it and then bam, Zoroark out of fucking nowhere.

>no one's mentioned this guy

foreverajelly.jpg

>>111369211
>Oshawott is a faggot and everyone who says otherwise is a faggot also

All of the starters suck. I ended up replacing my Serperior with a Lilligant. Best choice ever.

Black and White have some of the most awesome Pokemon, no lie. I'm so glad they got rid of the stupid fucking babies. They still keep making too many legendaries though.

>not using Kaminadile

>>111369488
I don't think I've ever been confused by the zoroark. Whenever he's sent it in, it was clearly stated to be zoroark, sprite and everything.

>>111369488
>N sends out Klinklang
>I send Emboar
>Emboar used arm thrust
>it's super effective
>it was actually a Zoroark, but I still OHKO'd it

>>111369364
I don't want to spoil anything about N, seeing as this is /v/ and not /vp/
But N is pretty fucked up for reasons explained at the end of the game.

He is literally a social retard by medical definition.

>>111369211
>Oshawott is a faggot and everyone who says otherwise is a faggot also
I used to think the same, but then I watched the anime and it became my favorite water pokemon

What is this shit.
FACT:
150 pokemon
Charizard is the best

>>111369625
Well, Zoroark only appears as Zoroark if it is the last party member on a player's team, when it gets switched in.

To be honest Zoroark is not that useful, but I haven't paid much attention to the metagame in a while.
