Guess I’ll report this :B A new booklet is coming out which features interviews from people who work at Game Freak (such as the Director and Producer) and those who purchase it will receive a code to get one of the Kanto starters in the Dream World! Frankly I would love to get a bulbasaur! These starters will have different abilities than they normally would, just like the eeveelutions.
<3 pokejungle
ps- Which would you choose?
pps- Pokemon Peer just hit #9 on Amazon’s ‘Top Selling Books’ (in Japan) and it won’t even be released for about a month!
oooh, more alternate abilities! This is great! I think the abilities will be Herbivore and a Fire- and Water- variant of Herbivore for the respective Pokemon.
I would get Squirtle. I’m guessing you can only access the Dream World after a E4?
We already have a fire variant of Herbivore, btw: Flash Fire.
Ah, right, my bad.
I’ll have a Charmander, and I’ll pair it with my Mijumaru and Shikijinka at Triple Battles :p
Getting a Squirtle it can pown Charmander and Bulbasaur and a new ability to boot =]
i dont understand why so many people want the type absorbing abilities on pokemon, i dont see much need to have them on type for type. now if charmander had water absorb, and squirtle gets herbivore, and finally bulbasaur gets flash fire, that would be both awesome and worth while. but honestly i dont know how many times ive been tempted to use a pokemons own type against it.
Although having those abilities [Charmander with Water Absorb, etc.] would be nice, it makes no sense. Charmander getting Flash Fire, however, makes more sense. Plus, then their evolutions will be better in competitive play. You have a Toxicroak w/Dry Skin out, for example, and your opponent has sent out his Flareon. You switch to Charizard w/Flash Fire and Flareon uses Fire Blast on you. You power up your fire type moves and could scare away the Flareon.
Squirtle
I would choose Bulbasaur, no doubt about it.
this better see an english release
everything like this usually has a english release, for example the wi-fi events, we always get them just later.
not the starters, the book itself
Who says I have to choose? If I do, it’ll be the one with the most potential.
Charmander all the way. With Anger Point, so that I may crush my enemies and burn their remains. >:D
I need MOAR News!!

I think i choose Squirtle, when it has Water Absorb.

I know it’s off topic, but I made this:

and original png:

I made ’em from the magazine/brochure thing, tried to make them look like they probably would with their official artwork (I was too lazy to do the ears/tail). I know it might sound strange, but I think that Emonga may be an evolved form of Pachirisu. If you think about it, it has the same cheeks, eyes, nose, feet, and torso of Pachirisu. Ever since I saw it, I was like “WHOA!” and I’m crossing my fingers!
And here’s a sprite I made… Please tell me if you like it!

I don’t think it’s an evo. I think it’s a little too… um… cute? XD To be a stage 1. The color scheme also changes pretty drastically. We’d need to see a size comparison, like an official sprite, but I think it’s about the same size.
As far as having the same cheeks goes, how is this new? Pikachu, Pichu, Raichu, Plusle, and Minun all have basically the same design, and yet they are 3 separate lines. Emonga is just this gen’s cute, fuzzy, electric rodent.
I see what you’re saying, and it does make sense…
i was always more of a squirtle kinda boy
btw i was watching this video and he has the mijumaru’s evo pic from the game play. thought you would like to see it 🙂

This sounds really cool, but how do we know we can choose our starter?
It could be just a single code, which randomly gives you one of them.
I’d be rather let down if I didn’t get the starter I wanted…
I’ve been wanting to replace Jiiro, my first Charizard from LeafGreen, who got deleted off of my XD game when I had memory card issues. Jiiro2 with an alternate ability would be awesome!
And making a long post even longer: my predictions!
-Bulbasaur: Effect Spore (The “spore” moves are nice, but waste room in a good moveset.)
-Charmander: Flame Body (Kind of like giving Bulbasaur a status-affecting ability.)
-Squirtle: Hydration (Since no water-themed abilities cause status problems, curing said problems is the next best thing.)
I counted what the people have chosen:
Bulbasaur-9
Charmander-7
Squirtle-12
Which I gotta say is pretty disappointing since I would choose Charmander.
Considering Bulbasaur is my favorite grass starter, I’d choose him. I hope he gets Effect Spore!
I know I’m off-topic, but what time does Pokemon Sunday air in Eastern Time?
Umm it’s 7:30am JST… 5:30pm CST… so 6:30pm EST? I think.
When I’m on the computer waiting for updates, they usually start around 8:30-ish. :/

Bulbasaur with Thick Fat/Chlorophyll \o/!
@Pokejungle: Are you a Grass Loyalist too?
I am indeed :3
Swift Swim or Rain Dish Blastoise. Let’s dooooo iiiiiit…
I can’t see why they want to give starters new abilities when they have one of the best abilities in game.
Torrent + Rain Dance + STAB + Choice Band Aqua Jet = messive pwnage.
Bulbasaur Tolally.. I chose it in FireRed and HeartGold and I’ll pick it in PGL too… because I can’t trade my Pokemon if I only have 1 DS….
If you’ve got wifi you can ask someone online to help. 🙂
Bulbasaur ftw!
I’m sure this won’t be coming to the United States or anywhere outside of Japan.
