Starter Speculation/Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[Super Nerd 7997]

I had a bit of a thought a while back. All the previous Grass starters (except for Snivy) ended up being dinosaurs. However, Chespin is clearly a mammal. I suspect it may end up evolving into some sort of prehistoric mammal of sorts, perhaps Diprotodon (a name that literally means "two forward teeth"), as it bears a little resemblance. The other two, well, I'm not entirely sure. It's odd that Froakie is clearly a fully formed frog; perhaps it evolve into a giant tadpole (borrowing some inspiration from the Paradoxical Frog)? Probably not likely, but it would be cool. Fennekin... well, it's hard to see where that one could go other than a Psychic Ninetales clone or another Fire/Fighting...

The theory you proposed on Chespin has been proposed many times. Most accept it to be true. It wouldn't surprise me if it was true

Grassassin?

....I think you just created Chespin's final evolution, my friend.

The problem with starters that are pure grass/fire/water is that their move pools BLOW.

Feraligatr may be an exception since it can learn Ice Fang, Crunch, and maybe something else.

Not necessarily... a basic typing does not have to imply a basic movepool. Game Freak could easily give them a wonderful movepool, should their final forms turn out to be mono-typed.

1. Way to show up to a party like 5 months late
2. I know a great rehab facility that can help with your crack addiction.

They aren't exactly dinosaurs, more like prehistoric reptiles

Because dinosaurs totally aren't prehistoric reptiles....

Because dinosaurs totally aren't prehistoric reptiles....

Not all prehistoric reptiles are Dinosaurs, they are a specific clade of reptiles.

I legitimately just learned something. "The more you know."

If we HAVE to have a Grass/Dark Chespin, what kind of design do you think it would have?? I was excited for the Knight motif but I suppose a thief design could still work...
