    I have to admit, these three types are getting a little tiring. There are plenty of trios to use, why do they just use the one?
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I could imagine quite a lot of imbalance with other starter type trios.

    Dark/Psychic/Fighting for example, has Dark being immune to Psychic, while Psychic is resistant to Fighting, and Fighting is resistant to Dark. That'd make choosing the Psychic starter give you a much bigger disadvantage than choosing the other two starters, given that battles with your rival are much tougher than regular battles.

    Another example would be Ice/Steel/Ground. Steel is resistant to normal, which is the most common attack type at the start of Pokemon games. That would give Steel starters a much bigger advantage at the start than the other two starters would have. As for a Ghost starter, that'd be insanely cheap since that starter would have an insanely hard time getting damaged at the start, seeing how most Pokemon can only do normal type moves.

    I hope it doesn't sound like I'm shooting your guys' ideas down, but I just wanted to point out one of the reasons why Game Freak likely hasn't changed the starter types yet.

    Default Timely Update

    They've revealed the new legendaries for Black and White, which are Zekrom (right) and Reshiram (left), respectively.



    What's strange is, even the English Official Pokemon Site has revealed them and stated their Japanese names, which probably means that their names are the same in Japanese and English. It's also strange how they're the only Pokemon that have been officially revealed to English audiences by Game Freak, and the other five haven't been (Zorua, Zoroark, and the starters).

    Anyways, I find them both to be really cool and original. As for which one I like better, I'm kind of siding with Reshiram right now, seeing how dark dragons with glowing eyes are a lot more overdone than heavenly, ferocious, beast looking things (and I've always been more partial to light than dark). Though I find Zekrom slightly beats Reshiram in terms of coolness.

    Not respectively-- Reshiram is the white one and Zekrom is the black one.

    Oh, yeah.

    It's just that the 5th Generation Pokemon Games are always listed as Black and White, and never White and Black, so I named them in the listed order and not the picture order. I fixed up my previous post to make it less confusing.

    Either way, I think Reshiram looks cooler, so I think I'll be picking up Black version when it comes out.

    I find it odd how they listed a 'white' Legendary to mascot the 'Black' version and the 'black' Legendary to mascot the 'White' Version.

    Lots of new Pokemon were revealed today on Serebii.

    They're all rather neat. Though Hihidaruma is rather, messed up looking. I guess my favourite out of the newly revealed batch would either be Shimama or Munna.

    Reshiram's and Zekrom's types suprise me, at least their respective fire and electric types. The female professor is quite a twist as well.

    Gear is pretty cool, and when I first saw Reshiram and Zekrom my first reaction was to call them kitties

    When I catch a Shimama it must be named Ixion though.

    The mascots being the reverse of their version color makes a lot of sense given the types of Yin and Yang respectively. The plot is likely going to be about the evil team throwing of their balance to take over the world or something
