#may
Look at us. The Three Water Benders! :’)
That’s why we are friends :’D
But I also like to control fire and lightning, but I know my personality doesn’t match that sooooo yeah.
At least I can control people like puppets 😀
Long live the Fire Nation! 😀
But fire Nation is best nation. Kanto sucks compared to other regions q.q
nonononon
hoenn id the water tribe i mean DUD YOU SEE ITS MAP?!
air nomads is kalos
unova is more the fire nation do to industry and fossil FUEL
KANTO is the earth kingdom due to purity and original elements
I really don’t get this one, There have been many girl gym leaders. so the joke really doesn’t work. sorry.
Killjoy.

Kanto: Earth Kingdom
Johto: Earth Kingdom (since there were no distinctions until Hoenn)
Hoenn: Northern Water Tribe
Sinnoh: Southern Water Tribe
Unova: Fire Nation
Kalos: Air Nomads (after genocide)
I feel bad because I can only give you one UPVOTE. I love this post mainly because I am a huge AVATAR fan!!!! 🙂
Still has Sinnoh as Southern Water Tribe. Heck yes.
I’m not biased at all Percy, not at all… 😛
Totally not biased. :3 #legit
Even more the reason why Primal Rayquaza should be Pure Flying. Don’t worry Dragon Lovers. Rayquaza can handle itself without the Dragon Type.
Nooooo Dragon Flying would be better!
Or just pure Dragon.
Ikr!!!!!! Ice type hurts in hoenn XD flygon Salamence Altaria rayquaza.
How about Electric/steel? like that one pokemon card.
I dont understand the “even more reason” But Dragon flying is better
Because we’re talking about how Hoenn is Air Nomads.
Uh No because this is just relating Hoenn to Avatar we could say fire nation, but not Flying Fire
Rayquaza better stay Dragon Flying
Edited
Replace first Dragon with Fire
Primal Rayqauza should become ???-Type
*le gasp*
??? Type was in the Original Hoenn Games! For Nostalgia Purposes, it must come back!
And to answer the question in the article
May CHOSE to be a coordinator
Because she was supposed to do gym battles
she had a case and was registered
but decided to follow her OWN path.
So she was an independent woman,
Who don’t need no guidance?
So did Serena.
*watches her run in circles around Ash*
*facepalms*
Made me lol

Let’s pretend that he died on that day.
My Storm, she shall not fall to that level of stupidity! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE AN ALPHA-LEVELED SUPERHERO!
Haha SS4 Goku and Vegeta would destroy them. Wouldn’t even have to turn into SS4 Gogeta! XD
They would scream so much…all the Marvel Heroes would go deaf
Poor Daredevil would be deaf and blind o_______o
Slippery something is wrong on disqus on my ipad I can’t paste the link for the trailer but I did in the chat. I can repost it
Fail… It works here just not on replies http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/legend-of-korra-book-3-official-trailer.html
It’s on youtube too 😮
I know I got the first link I found XD
Y can everybody and their mother seem to be able to Air bend in that trailer? lol
Because there are more air benders now. Bumi gained the ability to airbend as well. It might have been caused by the convergence.
So because of the convergence everybody can just learn whatever they want? lol I haven’t seen the end of Book 2 since it aired so I may b forgetting some stuff hahaha
Not Everyone 😮 But non benders have gained Bending abilities 😮
okidokie then lol
Hmm maybe with the connection with spirits now not separated the plot will be many non benders revolt and use the powers of spirits to gain them h,mmmm….what do they have planned??? I CANT WAIT!!!!!
OMG ikr revival of the air monks!!!! Also bumi can bend and I saw an article about bolin learning to metal bend. Also Zuko!!!!
But can we please have Primal Raywuaza Dragon FLying it makes more sense
I feel like in a way primal would be dragon and flying and as normal should be just dragon or just flying. It’s weird why have both I feel like they are similar as in characteristics in a way tbh
fire/fighting confirmed
Omg that’s a great idea! That typing is so Unique!
We need that type! Why must TrollFreak have every Fire-starter after Blaziken be Fire/Psychic?!
Dragon/Flying is over done and boring. Plus Rayquaza dowsnt even get any flying moves. It should be Dragon/Water/Ground….Triple Type confirmed
I disagree. It’s based on Ziz, Ruler of the SKIES!!! Also, Fairies are a Dragon’s worst nightmare (unless it’s Dragalge, Reshiram, MegaZardX, or Dialga).
Must be Pure Flying!
Also, I want someone to ruin Tornadus’ “unique” type combination.
But Rayquaza is supposed to Stopped Groudon and Kyorge
With Dragon Flying, It is immune to ground and resist fire and water
Noivern is Flying/Dragon 😉
Sableye is Dark/Ghost.
Spiritomb is Ghost/Dark.
Both have unique type combinations.
Kanto: Earth Release (Senju Clan)
Johto: Earth Release
Hoenn: Water Release (unknown)
Sinnoh: Water Release
Unova: Fire Release (Uchiha Clan)
Kalos: Wind Release (Uzumaki Clan)
Uzumaki clan all day!
Water Release! 😀
I like the Hyuuga Clan the most. But Uchiha Clan is awesome too :3
I like the Hyuuga clan the most too! We have a LOT of things in common :OOO
I’m bored of Black 2 already XD I’m going back to FireRed and continuing my Abra hunt for the rest of the day. See you guys later.
Are trying to get Alakazam?
Well, my goal is to get my first 3rd-gen shiny, and Alakazam just seemed right. I may end up going for Porygon instead, but Shiny Mega Alakazam just seems better to me. 😛
Use the Game Corner trick!!
I hope for gen 7 all the starter types are fire fighting. It’s just so original!
This needs to happen. Why havent we had a Fire/Fighting type yet?
We must prepare a sacrifice for Arceus in order for this to happen!
Bye guys! Time to binge on Avatar the Last Airbender again!
http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/25600000/Georgia-Langley-pokemon-25622005-1024-576.png
Ta taaaaaa~
I’ve forgotten her name…
Georgia? The dragon slayer with guillotine bisharp
*pawniard
Wow…she sure doesn’t look like a Georgia.
I thnk it’s Georgia I may be wrong I can’t remember tbh
It is georgia XD
It’s…Georgia!
Is she an Earth Bender? I see Mountains in the background 😮
She’s a Water Bender for she specializes in Ice Types…until she learns about Fairies.
Georgia <3 <3 <3
I can watch the show all day especially the first avatar Wan episode of korra!!!! Greatest episode IMO!!
Keep your pants on.
That isn’t funny, thats rude.
Rood 😉
I HATE Lyra.
She is my least favorite female protag ever.
just

bleck
The only thing that makes me somewhat stand her is this pic:
http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/25000000/Lyra-pokemon-25049275-200-112.jpg
Lol…dat hair though
Lyra is somewhat my best friend.
Boo not funny
I’m being legit.
Think about it a little…
no, that doesn’t make sense.
I remember that face. XD
She is cute and adorable though D:
she looks like a diapered baby D:
Garchomp has Mega Evolved into Mega Garchomp!
Garchomp used Earthquake!
It’s super effective! The opposing Dragalge lost 100% of its health!
The opposing Dragalge fainted!
SmurferMax: oh shit
SmurferMax: i got molested
Yeh Pretty much
adaptability dragalge though
Opponent brings out Togekiss.
Opponent brings out weavile
The next male Protagonist should be named Keith
Ew that name is gross
I know…that’s why i said it
Maybe Wes again.
No. It’s Brad.
Tyrone!!
For Germany region…. Hans. If his name is that. I will name my trainer “Hans Olo”
Genius
Isn’t it Han Solo?
Lol that’s the joke.
Lol yeah i got it XD I honestky thought I was wrong about his name all these years XD
Hans And Anna 😉
NOPE.
Hans is a meany face.
Plus Kristanna is better and cuter and adorableer and stuff.
I was making a frozen reference :O
😀
And I countered your Frozen reference with Kristanna, :3
What is the pic you post Lelouch? The one with the oct. 3 or. 10? What’s that from?
It’s from Fullmetal Alchemist.
Ah ok. Btw am I the only one who still calls you Lelouch? XD
Lelouch bratanna
Code Geass Confirmed?
Remember when May hated pokemon she just became a trainer to travel the world. Then she saw a coordinator use a Beautifly and wanted one then got her Wurmple mixed up with Jessie’s now she’s an amazing coordinator and I think people still cry from the scene of her crying after losing in the I forget what it’s called but the major contests when you have to have enough ribbons? Great anime IMO!! Just so good.
That Mudkip water gun though! XD
I feel like I always ask you this but did you have a previous account name??
“HoennChamp”
I think Landojr too can remember.
^^^ Why may = best protag
Two designs for Pyram’s final evo :
Design Two: http://i.imgur.com/CMYgmUm.jpg
Design Three: http://i.imgur.com/JYps7zi.jpg
Both are Fire/Electric
I didn’t include Design One because it was “meh” ._.
Which do you guise Prefer?
I see it as a male female branch evolution and is that the starter?
Final evo. It’s too mature looking to be the starter o_o
Lol I meant final evo of the fire starter?
Yup
If it is you are the GREATEST!!!! I keep saying I got my fire psychic starter now I need my other favorite type for fire starter fire electric!!! Since I am starting to love fairy type that should e after
first
Can we get a color version?
Just imagine them with color xD I add color when i sprite 😮
I can’t really imagine them with color.
Anyways, I still kinda prefer design 1, but design 3 would have to be my new favorite. 🙂
I felt like the first design was a bit too plain and forgetful .-.
I like the first one:D
Design 2. So much better.
The third is like on a Swampert Diet 😮
I just don’t like it on two legs. It looks weird to me.
I like it on 4 legs. With the arms.
Centaurs are better than minotaurs anyways :3
True :3
Um. An altered 3, or whatever the two leggen one is.
What do you mean Altered? 😮
2.
I like design 1 more.
I like Design 3.
i like Design 2 better…but I dont know how he is supporting that huge upper body on those legs.
Have you seen Mega Swampert? xD They skipped Leg day.
True…But Mega Swampert is leaning his weight onto those huge arms…
Don’t get me wrong I love the design…I just feel the legs are a bit disproportioned compared to the body.
Also I wanted to ask is it a Fire/Electric Type? Cos you mentioned something about generating electricity when you posted the first design
Yup. Both are Fire/Electric.
On Design Three, there’s wires coming down from the neck area to the arm things that circulate electricity through the body. The same things are on the second design minus the wires.
Design 2! BOTH ARE AMAZING!
Thanks :3
So uh. Celest said Hoenn was Northern Water Tribe? No. It is SOUTH of Sinnoh. So. Or nahhh. Jus sayin.
I thought Johto is south of sinnoh 😮
Yeah, Sinnoh is the northern most one iirc
LOL Hoenn and Kanto is too.
Southern Water Tribe is better.
Katara.
who is on showdown?
Me!
battle me:3
My user is TheHoennChamp
me :3
battle me?
yeah! 😀
username?
Hoenn is life
I’m making a new team just or you! 😉
Wait, can you guys imagine this: if the starters of a region become fire/water water/grass and grass/fire gaining the type they are bad against or maybe fire/grass water/fire and grass/water gaining the type they are good against
I imagined this in my mind. I also imagined a special suit for Ditto so it would be used as itself. By wearing this suit, It could have a massive movepool, become Normal/Steel, have its own Signature Move, and have its stats greatly increased.
Oh, and it’s signature move would replace Transform.
Most people said the Centaur one. How should the second evo look? 😮
More wanted design one
Not from what I counted.
Centaurs are better than minotaurs 😀
And I still think like the first design you made, only smaller and less stuff on it :3 And no arms.
/carbinkle whats your showdown name
CARBINKLEEE
hai i send you the request
Same name. “TheGreatCarbinkle”
Noivs, I mean to, in responce to you altered question, make them more Electric looking. Maybe add lightning bolt horns instead and yellow streaks on tge body. Rippling electric waves as cutlets. Yellow eyes. Static claws.And maybe we could do a split evo? They both look great, and we could either do a stat or just appearance change. Make the centaur faster and minotaur bulkier.
“Yellow eyes” Pyram already has that 😮 Also, most electric types don’t have anything Iconic in their deisgn, mostly just a yellowish color or thunderbolt symbols.
But at least the horns. I think it’d look good. And split evo would be cool, and I also like the arms on the female one, just sayin.
I could try it but i can’t guarantee lightning rod horns would look good. The horns have markings on them and a spherical thing that circulates the electricity and with lightning going across the neck connecting the horns 😮
I mean, like, for the male, make then straight up and jagged with the sphere at the top, and foe female, they can be kinda 180 degree lightning bolt with the sphere. Just make them look like the bends in lightninf bolts at some places and that’s my depiction.
Couldn’t get it to work without it looking awkward o_o
