Serebii revealed today the first 3 starters. As usual, fire, water and grass are the types of the starters. Serebii also mentioned that the two main characters of the games are elder than usual, giving us a hint that Pokemon is finally growing up. Apart from that, Serebii promised to have the names soon.

Interested anyone?


Here are some pictures:


The names are possibly, as posted on PokéBeach, ツタージャ, ポカブ, and ミジュマル, which are Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru.



Many thanks to PokéBeach for additional info!

Here's a video:

Dang it...please make an [IMG] tag showing the picture in your main post...stupid school blocking stuff... <_>

Some pictures have been added.

The girl is pretty cute, except for her...Dolly Parton or something hair doo.

And I thought the green one's silhouette would've been either fire or leaves, so I was 50% right.

I'm guessing with the colors, the water one'll be Water/Ice in later evolutions(as well as looking like a Polar Bear Pokemon), the grass one being Grass/Electric(looks pretty salamander to me...Charizard-like grass Pokemon, hmm?). And the Fire one being Fire/Dark later in it's line, no clue how a pig would evolve twice however(and not look ugly). =\

I like the fire starter. It is so cute. I will choose it. I have the feeling that it will be fire/electric.
I hate the water type Pokemon for some reason. It looks ugly for me.
The grass Pokemon is really cool.


In the characters, both of them are cool. I like them both.

Awesome!

That water one reminds me a lot of Piplup and that pig one looks pretty cute. Plus the trainers look older, also awesome.

I guess I predicted ALL the types wrong!
Two of the Pokemon look awesome: The grass and fire one. I hate the water one, it looks like it's wearing a fluffy coat (Because there's no way that shell pattern could come naturally).

And honestly, what the HECK is up with the girl's hair?!

Also, I was just looking at the full scans on Pokebeach - The new region "Isshu" appears to be connected with Johto, and Kanto's in the map as well. I think there's a chance that we may be able to go to three regions in these games! (Look at the map in the top-left corner) No wait, it's just a map of Kanto/Johto. My bad! Here's the scan anyway!

Okay, let's start with the starters:

-The Grass-type starter looks awesome to me. This is probably the first time I ever like a Grass-type starter.

-The Fire-type starter looks cute, but I hope I'll like its evolution(s), too; Grumpig, which resembles a pig/swine the most in all the 4 generations, isn't a favourite Pokémon of mine (not with its ugliness). However, I hope I'm mistaken because I love the colour scheme on the new starter.

-The Water-type starter looks... alright to me. Compared to the others, it looks kind of weird. Although I'm a bit underwhelmed by its colour scheme, I'll still hold off to see what its final evolution will be like.

On the overall, the starters are not spectacular, but they are still amazing. The 4th generation starters looked better, in my opinion.
Anyways, I hope their evolutions show a more interesting approach with good dual typings.

Now to add my comment about the protagonists and the new region:

I'm really excited about those two trainers. Not only do they look amazing, but we've been told they're to be older than usual. This sparks a hope in myself that Pokémon games will present a (somewhat) more mature insight directed at the older fans. Now, judging from the city displayed in the scan, the region looks more modern and appealing to me. Although I'm not a fan of its name (which I don't know how to pronounce yet), I think it will be an awesome region.

Why is it people use Serebii? >_< it's not even a good place to get scans from.

Here's a proper scan.

^ The picture is big, so I added spoiler tags.
Oh! Thanks for providing us with a better scan, and I am sorry, but I find Serebii the best Pokemon News site, and I really trust it.

Now for Cat(or someone else) to translate it...
*whistles and taps foot*
I hope what Ningamer is speculating is right, he thinks that the red arrow from Kanto/Johto means you can go to all three regions in B/W!

CoroCoro calls that a Region? Thats just the Major town in the Game..
The Game can't be... in a Pokemon version of NY.. only.

Err... I think I'm definitely going to go for the grass starter. I do love the new trainers though, even if their overworld sprites look sort of odd at first.

Here are some high-resolution scans of June`s leaked pages regarding Pokemon Black and White:

Are you blind? Look around on this Thread and find out this Pictures are allready in here!
And Please use Spoiler Tags.

Pretty ironic how the girl is supposed to be older but still has a smaller "chest" then Dawn.

Major let down... I really wanted the grass one to be a fire type

I'm getting the fire one. Dunno which game yet.

I've already changed my avatar to one.

I think this will be the first time I ever choose the fire started. =w= Its a piggy~! =w=

Also anyone else think the water type starter looks like a snow cone?

I'm not going to lie, I don't much care for the Grass-type this time. The eyes just seem... discomforting. I like both the Fire-type and the Water-type alot, and I'm not sure which one to pick! I might go for Fire this time, which I never do.

All in all, I like these new Pokemon! So far so good Game Freak!

SNOW CONES ARE NOT GAY KTHX

I love the grass one. The others are ugly. And I mean it.
The first time I ever choose a grass type...is B&W.

What's their names?

Thanks for using the term gay as stupid.

I think it's cute.

I am SOOO getting the grass starter.

I am now worried, because it seems that the creators are running out of ideas (although it seemed that way after the first, second, third, and fourth generation, too). The grass(/electric?) starter seems cool, the fire starter is OK, and the water starter is also average. I'm worried that this might be the last generation, although I hope it isn't.

I'm with Kazam. The Grass Type's eyes are somewhat discomforting. I find the other ones cute, though (Don't flame me! 3: ) I'll probably decide which one to choose when I see the Final Evolutions though

Oh my gosh you guys how can you not think this is the best looking grass starter yet.

OMG, the male character almost has a normal outfit!

and I'm definitely going grass.

The grass starter rawks IMO. Can't wait to see its evolutions.

Please, just leak the middle and final evolutions now... I'm going for grass, although it looks like a middle evolution

IRON MAN CRITIQUES: The BW Starters and Protagonists

Grass starter- Looks like a small lizard or chameleon. Takes me back to Treeko. And boy was Treeko awesome.

Fire starter- ...a pig. It's a freakin' pig. ...Okay. How a pig can be associated with Psychic, I can understand, shockingly. (Pigs are actually very intelligent animals) How it can be associated with fire...

What, is it implied that it'll cook itself and provide its trainer with bacon?

Water starter- I don't even know what this thing is. It looks a lot like an otter, which is kinda neat since we haven't had one of those in Pokemon before, so props for creativity. But the color scheme looks awful.

Protagonists-

Headgear? Check. Baseball caps on Pokemon protagonists makes 'em look kickass.

Bags? Check. Satchels remind me a lot of RSE, and Brendan's design was awesome.

Hair? Check. Female protagonist needs to cut her bangs though. Nice ponytail. And the dude's got slick hair too.

Coats? Check. Reminds me of the DPP clothing, too.

Age? They're NOT 10 year old kids? They're teenagers? Yus. Check.

In short, protagonists look awesome, fire starter looks lame, grass starter looks awesome, water starter is a very unique design choice.

Oh and I also noticed they seem to have a watch on there wrist.

The grass starter looks cool. I like the way its eyes are. It looks calm and sleepy. The fire starter looks kind of cool to me. I don't really care though. The water starter I don't like at the beginning stage but if it has cool evolutions I might get it. Right now I am thinking of getting grass starter. B/W is gonna be my first game where I get a grass starter though.

Fire/ Dark, Water/Psychic, and Grass/Fighting... that's just what i want though... Really diggin' the grass type!

YES!!!!! WOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! I got all the starters right lol! I just love the grass type, he's my favorite by far!!!

every new game ive started i always got the grass type. I am biased towards green pokes!

I'm definitely getting the grass type. I just hope gen 5 has more variety in it's fire types than gen 4 did.

This is just my opinion, i am quite disappointed they look pretty crappy I think they are starting to run out of ideas seriously.
I would still get the game if i was to choose out of the starters I would get the Fire type I have a strong feeling that it would end up a Fire/Psychic in its final evo stage.
Water seems like it would end up a Water/Ice in its final stage.
Grass that would be suprising to find what secondary type it would have it does end up with one that is.

I didn't notice this before but, THE GIRL TRAINER IS HAWT~!!!!!!!!

Grass starter is the koolest for sure.

Serebii has updated with more information about the starters. It seems that the abilities of these three as just the same as before; blaze, overgrow and torrent. The height and weight of these three are also revealed.

Iam kinda dissapointd with the starters
