Drampa won for one-stage Dragon starter. What three-stage Bug type would make the best Starter Pokemon? (Rules in post).

Drampa won for one-stage Dragon starter. What three-stage Bug type would make the best Starter Pokemon? (Rules in post).

So, for this roster, the regional professor has decided to expand the choices for first time trainers. They're not just giving trainers one per type, they're giving them one per number of stages it can evolve. There are some limitations though:

  1. The stage number is how many times it evolves. So, 1 stage means it doesn't evolve, 2 stage means it evolves once, 3 stage means it evolves twice.
  2. The Pokemon MUST maintain the type they're nominated for at all times. This includes Evolution (for example, Larvitar can be nominated for Rock, but not Ground), Mega Evolution (for example, Aron can be nominated for Steel, but not for Rock), and temporary battle transformations (for example, Castform is completely disqualified. Sorry Castform).
  3. Pokemon can't win more than one type. So, if you decide to give Slowpoke the win for Water, it can't also win Psychic.
  4. The starter has to be in its base form (so Pikachu is out, but Pichu is fine).
  5. When we do the 3 stage Grass/Fire/Water ones, feel free to pick something outside the actual starters (or pick a starter. Do what you want).
  6. Remember, this isn't about what THE BEST Pokemon are for each category, it's about what would make a GOOD STARTER. These are Pokemon being handed out to new, fledgling trainers. So, maybe think twice before giving them something super strong/dangerous/aggressive etc.

Anyway, let's get into it.

It's the final countdown...for me at least.

10 to go...these are gonna take a while, aren't they?

I think the scammers are getting worse at their jobs.

Basically, nothing in their message relates to me. I don't know who "Connie" is (it's not my username, and it wasn't the scammer's name either), I don't have a story with that title (I did find one with that name, but I can't see where the Connie part fits into it), I couldn't even find a chapter title with that name (I had to go through all 34 of my stories to check, and nothing).

Well, they're blocked now.

Anime vs Cartoons FINISHED: Sonic the Hedgehog and Felix the Cat round out the roster, which begs the question: who's your main?

u/I_Am_The_Bookwyrm — 5 months ago

Anime vs Cartoons Day 26: Yugi Moto and Aang have joined the fight. Who's next?

The rules:

  1. I'm adding the Top character for each side each day.
  2. Limit of three characters per series. For example, if Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo get in, Gohan won't. This extends to sequels and spin-offs too, so if Aang, Zuko, and Toph get in, Korra won't.
  3. No downvoting. Just ignore ones you don't like, upvote the ones you do.
  4. One character per comment, unless it's a pair that would work together (for example, Phineas and Ferb, or Ash and Pikachu).
  5. Not so much a rule but a request: try to have some variety. I don't mind having a lot of the usual suspects, but a few unexpected ones won't go astray.

Okay, that's about it. Have fun.
