Starter Speculation/Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[SasakiThePikachu]

Like when the 5th gen starters silhouettes were leaked back in 2010 and people said they were fake and Samurott were nothing but Dialga mixed with other random features?

I'd forgotten that! Ah, happy memories.

Hey, speaking of regal and gorgeous Fennekin evolutions, I found this fanart. The second stage isn't great but the final makes my eyes pop out:

Never thought I'd say this, but that thing is prettier than Milotic. If the real thing is half that nice I'll be a happy little fangirl!

My predictions

Chespin (grass/rock)
Fennekin (fire/psychic)
Froakie (water/ice)

What i don´t want

Chespin (grass/earth)
Fennekin (fire/fight)
Froakie (pure water)

[Akimoto-Kenta]

^ Grass/Rock would be so badass!!! I love Rock Pokemon.
ONIX FTW!

[Nyarlathotep]

Water/Ice is so lame :|

I am okay with Grass/Rock. Fire/Psychic is boring too...

Grass/rock. Whyd do you think Chespin will be grass/rock ? I actually want it to be grass/ground

[mew92]

Hmm what if fennekin evolves into something like a warewolf or something and become a fight /fire ;-)

[swamp_swampert]

by its desing it looks like its going to evolve to a rock or ground type and i choose rock because i don´t want another torterra, but that may happen

Another Grass/Ground? Torterra says hi. Grass/Rock would be more interesting and unique (for a starter). That said, I am hoping for Grass/Steel.

Like Zoroark, you say?

I don't mind another Torterra. I really liked that typing when I played d/p/pt. I wouldn't mind it again.

Well actually blaziken said hi, infernape said hi, emboar said hi.. I mean each generation there's someone who says hi..XD

Personally I don't mind another Torterra too, but something on Chespin's design tells me that it may evolve into a sturdy type like Rock and Steel.

Indeed. I don't mind the Fire/Fighting starters as well, but people saying that they don't want another Fire/Fighting and wishing for another Grass/Ground is a bit weird to me. ^^

I like both, but I prefer the middle one. The final stage looks too... I don't know, hairy?

As I said before they will all evolve into Emboar, ALL gen 6 pokemon will be Emboar, Yveltal and Xerneas's alternate formes? Emboar.

That would actually be pretty awesome. Totally seriously.

[john90]

Please not. I cannot stand more then one Emboar every 1000 pokemon..

[willda]

Please not. I cannot stand more then one Emboar every 1000 pokemon..

Even the region's name: Emboar!

But back on topic, I seriously love all three of these starters, I'm sure I will Use all three on a team at some point.

[MastersOfMonsters]

You guys, in the new region, all words will be Emboar. All Pokémon will be Emboar. All buildings, bridges, grass, rocks, clouds, and feet will be Emboar.

Also, I love these new starters. I hope the'll reveal the middle evolution sometime soon. :P

That sometime soon sounds like july, if we are lucky..

[Taodragon]

Personally I don't mind another Torterra too, but something on Chespin's design tells me that it may evolve into a sturdy type like Rock and Steel.

I get that impression as well, between the two I'd prefer grass/steel since that eliminates most of the former typing's common weaknesses in trade for one. The only thing is it'd throw off the secondary triangle everyone is predicting since steel adds a major disadvantage to fire.

[Tadej]

What if froakie evolves into water/electric ? when im looking at him I get an idea of clouds around him... and thunders come from clouds... and in the trailer when he was attacking there looked like a little sparks comming out of him .... that would be preatty cool if he would be water/ electric...

And i really hope for chespin to be grass/ground currently I can't decide between chespin and fennekin.... but I like grass types better...

and sorry for my bad eanglish.

Hey wait. I thought those were bubbles not clouds ! Thought I would like water/electric too.

@MasterofMonsters : Trying to troll us eh ?

I can wait that long, I'll be back from korea then, I just really want to see the second forms, It will give me an idea of final forms, I really want silhouettes at least!

[MastersOfMonsters]

@Carboncopy
Troll? Moi? Nooo! :3

@willda
Someone actually agrees? Nooo!

In all seriousness though, were the middle/final evolutions for the starters actually oficially revealed before Black and White were released?

[john90]

well consider that 5 gen second stages were officially revealed a week before the games were out..and third stages in october, when the games were already out

[carboncopy]

I frankly don't want GF to spoil anymore info. I want to play the game blind just like I've done with gen 5 ( and gen 4,3,2,1 ).
