Starter Speculation/Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[MastersOfMonsters]

Chespike?
Chespear?
Flannec?
Fernox?
Ribbub?
Froabanet?

Anyone?!

[willda]

Venusaur? Ferrothorn? Abomasnow? Roserade? and MAYBE Ludicolo, Shiftry, Whimsicott. Depends on how you play.

^this. Grass when used property is quite something

that is the only reason i am kinda against it also. i actually want fennekin to be part electric since we need something fire/electric (rotom dosnt count) (or maybe ghost which wont happen unless froakie gets a type that ressits it. so i am just w8ing to see how it will all pan out. though i kinda am afraid every1 will be right about psychic.

I hope for fire/electric too. What could you see for a Design idea?

Can anyone confirm if this is fake or not? I hope to god this is legit

Edit: I found this via Reddit. A lot of them over there seem to think it might be real

Why would it not been confirmed in an official site such as Pokémon.com or Pokémon Direct instead of Pastebin ? Sounds fake to me.

[Charmed]

I finally got my sister to admit that Fennekin isn't a Vulpix clone. I got so heated when she attacked poor Fennekin because of it's design. I mean if we're going to judge Fennekin for being similar to Vulpix, we should judge Froakie for being yet another Water-type frog or Chespin for being Oshawott's long lost brother. I can't at Fennekin drawing the most criticism.

Because this info was supposedly leaked. There would be no reason to leak info confirmed in a official site.

And no, I am not saying it is legit, it seems fake indeed.

[Dragrath]

I feel it is too early to say... what is most important is how will the starters turn out in the end?(Aka stat distributions & no fire fighting or mono type 3rd forms...)

I really want some interesting subtypes... like ghost... electric... dark...(I know ghost is unlikely but it could be viable by the 3rd stage...)

Not believing anything until it's made official.

[MastersOfMonsters]

I do like those names, though. If it's fake, kudos to those who made them. If it's real, I'm happy with it.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Flannec and Fernox sound wonderful too. *wipes tears* But, I do hope it's real.

[Valdoom]

Yeah does seem a bit faked (although it may not be dw8 had all its new characters leaked and were correct); if it does turn out to be true; then I don't mind those names especially the Chespike and Chespear; can sort of see that happening. A finch regional bird would be quite cool. But will take it with a grain of salt.

[Plus side down side]

Is anyone else as excited as I am for the wave of fakemon? We probably won't get a whole lot of trolls until more game footage is shown, but I'm anxious to see what kind of badly photoshopped creatures comes with this generation.

[Nyarlathotep]

Froabanet sounds ridiculous ._.

I know right?! This is gonna be so fun!

Since this 'leak' says they're psychic/fighting/dark, just like everyone wants, I'm calling fake. If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

Dunno if it's real. According to that, we'll have a new Pokemon like Basculin, with form differences between the games.

But as much as I'd like it to be real with Fire/Psychic Fennekin, I feel the d/p/f reverse triangle makes it feel pretty fake...

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

When I went to Google Translate (bad translator, but my only one) to translate Fennekin's supposedly evolved forms, I got this:
Honoko / Flannec
Ferunoko / Fernox
Esper-flame type:

yep its definetly fun to see what kinds of fakes there are.

[MastersOfMonsters]

New Basculin would be neat. Yellow one, perhaps? :3

I hope someone can declare that 'leak' fake/legit as soon as possible.

I can't at Fennekin drawing the most criticism.

I don't see how Chespin looks anything like Oshawott. I mean, when Oshawott was first revealed, I thought it was Piplup all over again with very slight changes. I just don't see the similarity at all between Oshawott and Chespin. Likewise, I also don't see the similarity between Vulpix and Fennekin.

I don't see the similarity between Oshawott and Piplup. Th only thing they have in common is the color scheme. One is a penguin and the other is an otter.

[Rizardon]

Lol @ those fake leaks.

Stop being so gullible people, there's no way things like this could be leaked already.

[Amanchu]

Honoko / Flannec
Ferunoko / Fernox
Esper-flame type:

that is exactly what is written but i am not so sure the data will be japanese and english at the same time. it seems a little weird to me. if they were to be romaaji that would be a different story thou.

@wilda i had seen a great design of that if i can find it again will post it here.

[Taodragon]

Yeah, that seems too good to be true because it's exactly what we want from the new pokemon.

[Chespin17]

Same body type with different features. Found a picture, but new here and pretty dumb computer wise, not sure how to post images or anything. Go to google images and search "Chespin is oshawott" and it's like the 3rd picture with Piplup, Oshawott, and Chespin together lol.
