Sorry no can do, Nintendo has determined they sell 7% more figurines when the final form is bipedal.

Don't worry though, we'll be sure to fill the region with pokemon that are sure to inspire you to buy the toys and the plushies of them, so don't worry if you don't like the starter, there's still plenty of merchandise you'll be able to purchase!

Look at that adorable puffball!

It's just begging to evolve into a fire/fighting type

So if Sonic is Knight of the Wind, does that make Shadow the Knight of Truth?

Sadly he's Sir Lancelot.

i hope it becomes the gayest, most bipedal sparkledog

Why would it evolve into Midnight Lycanrock?

Fuecoco stayed low to the ground

We know they can do it

I don't know any starters beyond gen 3, but you can call me Mudkip since I'm straight Hoen out here

Skeledirge slander? In my Fediverse? Absolutely not.

He isn't even the best of their own line. Fuecoco supremacy

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Valid. Fuecoco is the my favorite of all 9 starters in that game. Closely followed by Sprigatito and Floragato.

Not a single thought going on inside that head

[–] DGen@piefed.zip 4 points 2 days ago

They tend to do that far too often. I Hope they keep it based

I’m so positive Gecquas will stand up or end up similar to Swampert’s approach. Heck the 2D art already has them on 3 legs.
