Pokémon Legends Starter Redux (spoilers)

[Snek]

Behold! The artistic genius that is GameFreak! Here are your Hisuian starters!

Spoiler: Hisuian Decidueye

Grass/Fighting

Spoiler: Hisuian Typhlosion

Fire/Ghost

Spoiler: Hisuian Samurott

Water/Dark

Edit: Typings and shinies added. The original models I had for both H-Decidueye and H-Typhlosion were the shiny forms.

I'm a bit torn. I want that edgy Samurott.... But I also want Chillphlosion. I seriously hope breeding comes back in these games, so I can trade for the other.

Some of the fake leaks looked better imho. But I don't hate any of them.

 

[Midoriya]

Going for Hisuian Decidueye. I was going to go for Rowlet anyway, so the final form looking like that doesn’t bother me.

 

[daringred_]

please, why are they all so ugly

i was going to pick typhlosion because i usually choose fire types, but it looks like some limp hippie highschool boy that's high as a kite, so that's a no from me unless it looks better in battle and stuff with the flames coming out of its back. i'll probably just go with samurott instead since it has the better design. (it isn't that ugly actually, lol.) hopefully i'll be able to catch a ponyta asap and just use rapidash though.

Probably Samurott after looking at them. Not a big fan of Typhlosion or Decidueye here, but they actually did Samurott justice compared to the original (I'm total Team Samurott should have been Water Fighting). Not upset about it either because it frees me up to use Hisuian Arcanine as a fire type.

I'm probably going to choose Samurott or Typhlosion. Haven't made my mind up yet but I'm leaning toward Samurott. I actually don't mind Typhlosion's design because his design has always been very bland. The fire will probably make up for it, especially if its confirmed to be Ghost-type. If its fire animation is cool I may get Typhlosion instead.

honestly i’m Really not happy with any of those designs (although I think it’s cute the shinies are their regular forms’ colour palettes like the galarian legendary birds), but I was planning to choose cyndaquil to begin with because I like fire/ghost as a type combo and I’m sticking with it hopefully typhlosion looks a lot better with its fire.....

 

[xSuperMario64x]

not planning on getting this game but I've always been a fan of Samurott so I quite like his Hisuian form

the other two are.... okay? but I really hope the model doesn't do them justice cause if that's what they actually look like I'm gonna cry lol.

Here's a recent pic from the leaker

Spoiler: Fire animation

It's still pretty meh for me. The pink flames certainly look better than the normal orange/red flames, but it still doesn't look as "ghosty" as it should.

 

[sleepydreepy]

I LOVE the way decidueye looks but having that 4x weakness to flying is not it lol so I'm gonna go with samurott I think, especially since I always choose water types anyways!!!

 

[Holla]

Was planning on picking Rowlet and I’m sticking with it. At first glance Decidueye looks a bit odd but after seeing clips of it in motion it actually looks really cool. Especially the way it tucks it’s wings in. I think I like this form more than it’s regular version? (Considering I preferred Primarina in gen 7). It’s Japanese Ronin inspiration (think along the lines of a wandering samurai) is really neat and I feel that it suits the ancient times Sinnoh really well.
