RE: The Final Week
When Tepig, Snivy and Oshawott were first revealed, I thought Oshawott was derpy, Tepig was ok and Snivy was awesome. Compared to now, I guess Oshawott has grown on me loads.
For the evolutions, I was annoyed that Emboar was yet another Fire/Fighting type, especially because I thought it would end up a Fire/Ground type. However I actually quite like Emboar's design, but not really on Pignite. (I'm just glad Pignite was used; it is too good a name to pass up).
I thought Serperior would have arms and legs, but this design was cool as well. I'm quite annoyed that it has a less-than-respectable moveset. As for Servine-well, move over Arcanine, I have a new favorite Pokemon! Yeah, I really like Servine's design.
I like all members of the Oshawott line, but not really the fact that there is hardly any resemblance between Dewott and Samurott. I'm also ticked off they weren't Fighting, and that type went to Emboar.
Overall, I say 4/5 for the starters. Another Fire/Fighting and the fact Samurott hardly has any resemblance to it's pre-evolutions just didn't do it for me.
