I think they all look fine, I don't have particularly strong feelings about any of them, but I'm mostly a Grass picker, so it'll probably be Browt. I don't really know why people seem to dislike them so much, I don't think they're showstoppers, but they're all Fine at least. I hope they have good final evos, at least.

General Pokémon Discussion / Re: Burmy and its ilk

Last post by Del - March 11, 2026, 21:46

don't think I've ever used a Burmy or either of the evos, but I think it's a cool gimmick, and I really like how Wormadam has a perma form. Unfortunately it shares types with other Pokémon I prefer to use in Sinnoh (Torterra/Grass, Gastrodon/Ground, Bronzong/Steel), and I don't think it has very good stats? So it never gets into the squad. But like I said, big fan of the gimmick at least!

General Pokémon Discussion / Burmy and its ilk

Last post by DrampardonMe - March 11, 2026, 21:23

Feeling oddly nostalgic for Pearl Version right now, so I thought I'd ask: What do you guys think of Burmy and its evolutions? Or, do they even cross your mind at all?

I used to have a Sandy Cloak Wormadam (it's my favorite) named Ethel. She had Hidden Power (fighting), which I thought was cool even if Wormadam in general have better things to do, lol. I simply had fun having it beat up everything in Snowpoint Temple after I beat the game. I think its other moves were Rock Blast and Earthquake, also Protect? Not like Wormadam can do much else!

I don't have anything against the others (and heck, Mothim's shiny is pretty neat), but I can see how other fans might be all "ANOTHER Bug/Flying?!" about Mothim and be less than impressed with Wormadam. I wish they'd all get stat tweaks, at least, but who knows if they'll ever do that again (they only time they did that for any Pokemon was... Sun and Moon, I think? Power creep sure is rough!)

Anyway, send some fond memories my way! Or... not-so-fond! Whatever you think of these bugs!

^I wasn't impressed with them, either, and it makes me worry what they'll evolve into. I guess I could say I like Browt the best, but I already betrayed my Water Starter loyalty back in Sun (Worth it, though, I like every member of the Rowlet line) so I'll probably at least give Gecqua a shot... but the minute it evolves into something I don't care for, I'm boxing it and replacing it with Wailord (because I always wanted to try raising one, which for some reason I never had before now despite having ample chance to, lol)

Honestly, the trailer had me interested enough until the starters themselves were revealed. Outside of that, I'm not opposed to getting Waves when/if I'm able. On the subject of using older Pokemon, I somehow never used a Swellow before, so I'm happy to see Taillow back!

this is all a moot point anyway as i cant afford the switch 2 so i'm sort of forced to skip the gen anyway.

Yeah, I feel that. I have other (non-Pokemon) games I've been wanting to try, but I haven't gotten past the hurdle of saving up enough for a Switch 2. There's also trying to find a comfortable spot for it once I do get one, but that's neither here nor there, lol

none of them.

i really didn't like any of them. they're really plain and feel like they gave up on the whole idea pretty quick. even pombon is a pale imitation of the real thing.

if i had to pick, probably pombon and then i'd put it in the box and get old pokemon i usually play with, if they're offered. if not, either hope for better designs or just skip the generation entirely.

this is all a moot point anyway as i cant afford the switch 2 so i'm sort of forced to skip the gen anyway.

For me, it is easy.

Pombon, because it is so cute and I wanted to have a fire puppy starter at some point. The one I came up with as a Fakemon is its alter ego: Pupfurno

I am thinking of maybe doing a three player S/V soul link nuzlocke so that I do not have to use just one type, but feel free to select a type for me if you want.
