But before you go spending too much mental energy weighing the speculative pros and cons of picking each as your starter, there are a few things to bear in mind.įirst, while there’s plenty of Japanese-text notations on the drawings, it’s unorthodox in the way it splits the duties of hiragana, katakana, and kanji, the three categories of Japanese written characters. The half-monkey half-koala Grass-type, Fire-type bunny with flaming ears and early crowd favorite Water-type platypus all feature genuine Pokémon-caliber cuteness (although the platypus is pretty much just a platypus with no distinctly fantasy elements beyond its blue coloring). As soon as they’ve captured and evolved every species in one game, they start dreaming about the next generation, which brings us to a trio of illustration sets that have been flying around the Internet this week, rumored to be the concept art for the three starter Pokémon for the next game in the series. Of course, the flipside is that fans don’t really want their Pokédexes to be permanently filled anyway. Honestly, how are we supposed to “catch ‘em all” when every couple years the Pokémon Company puts out a new game with a new set of Pocket Monsters to catch?
When you stop and think about it, the official English slogan for the Pokémon franchise is kind of a mean-spirited tease. Their authenticity is debatable, but their cuteness is unquestionable.
