We'll see what the community votes for, but at least the main route one should be a mammal-- this is the in-game tradition after all.Chou Toshio, are you planning to be super strict regarding the definition of a mammal, or do you intend for it to be a "non-bird entity" descriptor? I've got several ideas for a Route 1 Pokemon, but they are not mammals in the strict sense.
I mentioned this is a post a while back Chou, but don't you think it may be too much of a power spike to have Azumarill be available that early? It evolves at lvl 18 as well as a respectable Water STAB in Aqua Tail at lvl 21. At that point in the game, you don't have anything else that's even remotely strong, since your starter hasn't finish evolving and possibly your bird as well. From a playthrough standpoint, it will be easy to say that a focus on Azumarill will be omnipresent, and with it strengths as well as being available this early, who wouldn't.Pokemon Proposal
Route 1
Azurril
Standard Grass
Level 2-4
Azurril is one of 2 small cute normal types on the viability list that could fit here, but unlike the other Smogon bunny, this oneis betterhas access to more HMs and is useful on more standard builds. Azurril's line has a very fast growth rate, and I agree with GF's decision to have it as an early Poke in XY. It'll do well as the standard mammal of the Smogon Version.
Don't give me all the credit, Cho was the one who suggested taking it to Klutzness comedy.Doesn't Azuril have a happyness requirement to evolve? Since you're getting it from the wild, azuril will quite likely be above level 18 by the time it evolves. I personally see nothing wrong with it, even with huge power, it's still base 10 attack.
Also, belly-jet is only available via breeding, so there really is nothing to worry about.
Also, I'm definitely liking how Salemance handled my idea for the golette joke, definitely think it works nicely.
Hmmmm, I think route one is a tad early to be introducing trainers, so I offer this one.

*jumps up the ledge backwards*
I didn't suggest it, just saying an idea someone did. He is like right above my last post.I propose that instead of getting given a golett in route 1 like Salemance suggested, we have someone standing there complaining about how he has so many spitbacks filling up his boxes, and then gives you a golett egg.
Pokemon who are obtained while trying to obtain a 'perfect' mold for a competitive Pokemon, but are missing out on one or two vital aspects (EVs, nature)
A spitback egg is kinda confusing, but maybe he had just hatched the perfect mold and didn't need the remaining eggs.
The thing about routes is that you either need a building in between or you have to use the same tileset to make the route, since otherwise it looks weird. I'd be more than happy to make a map but it would look weird next to his if we didn't use the same tileset.Can the guy who did the Golurkmoar Town map make a route map too or are we going to have someone else do that?

Oh I was not counting pre evos, in that case let me update the listAlso Ash has Gible, so Garchomp should be on that list...
There is never a trainer on the first route other than a rival, so please noNPC Trainer Proposal

Script: What, you think that because our eyes met we have to battle? Which douchebag thought that up? Fine, whatever. You look easy to beat.
Oops, you're right. I'll re-propose this later.There is never a trainer on the first route other than a rival, so please no
