Skunk - Fire type because of the tail shape. Easy to see the tale as fire and it's scent gland used as a flamethrower.
Raccoon - Water type because racoons like to wash their food in water, when convenient. Look up videos of people giving them packing peanuts if you want a heartbreak.
Opossum - Grass type because they like to hang out in trees. That tail is prime vine whip material too!
A lot of Pokémon have better first and mid evolutions than final. I always wished there was an item or something to give a boost to unevolved Pokémon to keep them viable so I don’t have to lose my cute bulbasaur or ivysaur to a hideous venusaur, or my beautiful dragonair to that doofy looking dragonite
Sorry, what I meant was that it does that and keeps them from evolving, at the same time. And evolite doesn’t make them anywhere close to on par with evolved forms, from what I remember

Skuntank can, in fact, learn Flamethrower.

And its original animation has it coming from exactly where you'd think.

See I was thinking skunk as the grass poison type cuz you know poison gas.

Water, the spray is a liquid.
Pokemon logic makes any of them work though.

Based on how Pikachu first behaved for Ash, not the skunk. Trash Panda, I choose you!

Opposum is the clear winner. Their little human-like grabby hands are a great asset plus as a marsupial they can carry my loot in their pouch.

They are also immune to rabbies.

If a Pokemon game was set in Arkansas.

Unironically a good idea

The region would be abnormally high in crystal Pokemon.

The opossum has low offense, but it doesn't need much with such a massive type advantage with all its resistances.

The skunk should be a bat. We need a flying type.

As a starter? Are you mad? We have to catch one just outside of the first town, it's tradition!
ickplant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 183d
Ok, fine, I confess. I just really like bats…
KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 182d
Vampire spotted >.> [bats are cool tho]

No no, it should cause a status down like tail whip.
Jyek@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 183d
I would assume defense down.

I’ve heard skunks are actually quite well tempered, but I don’t bless if I can deal with the smell.
WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com · 6 pts · 184d
Baby skunks are adorable. Never gonna let it evolve.

The item exists and is called Evolite. It only boosts defence though.

Trash panda, I choose you. Let's do crime together!!! Mostly victimless... mostly...
Draconic_NEO@pawb.social · 2 pts · 183d
Opposum! I choose you!
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 183d
I choose opposum! Very little chance of rabbies. Also 11/10 spunk.

Great. Normal, Normal, and Normal Poison. When we said we wanted new Starter types this is not what we meant, Gamefreak.
