idk, I understand everybody wanting a quadruped Fire Starter for once. I mean we have one for Water, and... 3 for Grass if I'm not mistaken? It's a design space that I guess many feel should have been explored.
Although saying that, Delphox is my joint true favourite Gen VI starter (with Chesnaught) just because Then again me liking a pokemon is like the sun rising in the morning - inevitable with time - so it's not really saying much. On the idea of split evolution starters... It's a neat idea in concept, letting the trainer tailor his starter to their preference. But how would you go about doing so? If you relate the split to gender then you have the Combee dilemma. If you relate it to items then how would you go about getting multiple? Stats I guess could work but there is a reason people consider Tyrogue to be annoying (not difficult, just annoying) to evolve. I'm not against split evolution, but I'm not entirely for it~

It's tricky business. If you just magically say that all 4x weaknesses become 2x weaknesses, it would up-end modern competitive play as we know it. Many would argue it would break it entirely. But at the same time, a nerf from 4x to 3x just isn't enough. Multiplication is too powerful, and saying an attack does 3 times as much damage as normal thanks to type weakness simply means that most Pokémon are going to be OHKO'd by it. Quote:

Delphox is a much harder one to be happy about because I honestly do think it's a poor design even by furry standards. Delphox is super tall and thin, like a really gangly NBA basketball player. I don't like that. ^^; She's wearing clothing-fur that can only be described as "Islamic," it masks her body so much. (As someone else in this thread already said, "She's a triangle with ears." The entire bottom two-thirds of Delphox's design is reduced to that triangle because you just plain can't see her body structure.) The clothing-fur itself is really drab and boring; it isn't eye-catching. Like ... she just looks abnormally tall/thin and boring. A very dull design for a Pokémon that should have been anything but.

We have another Pokemon. Its only for a second but there is a new trailer on serebii and it shows it as the trainer is shown leaving his house.
Spoilered for image size Spoiler: show It looks kind of like a regional normal type type thing. |

Hahahaha my sentiments exactly. (Source) I see this happening too.
PS wasn't the only one to run a starter poll! The Pokémon Twitter account ran this poll to see how the starters ranked in popularity. And once again, sweet, sweet confirmation of my guesstimates! 41% Rowlet, 38% Litten, 21% Popplio.

If they're doing a pure starter this gen, I pray that it's Litten. I mean yes I've shit-talked about the other mono-fire starter line, but pure Fire is easily better than the Dark/Poison/Ground rumors. Plus pure Water's boring. They did it with Blastoise, they did it with Samurott, they did it with Feraligatr. This compared to Grass' Sceptile and Meganium, and Fire's Typhlosion, mono-water's been done to death.

>RE Rock/Flying/Fighting
BUT YES THOUGH. As long as they don't make Litten's potential go the way of magcargo with a Rock-typing, I can totally see it, esp with the volcano. Rowlet is already grass/flying and would stay that way, remaining the worst typing but hey what can you do. Then Popplio gets Fighting and we get the water/fighting that we deserved with Samurott but never got(t) *shot*

>Adorabird can't stay Flying because trinities
I'm just going to hold out for that reverse trinity of Flying/Fighting/Ice, even if it does mean another Fire/Fighting starter and our sea lion friend being unoriginal for it's body type. |

See, I don't actually mind Fire/Fighting. Sure, we've had three of them, and it's repetitive as all tits, but it makes for a nice in-game pick, because Fire/Fighting almost always has some nicely balanced offenses. And then there's Blaziken, but we do not speak of that.

I'm reeeaaallllllyyyyy not a fan of triple types.
...but if it happens and they don't make Lugia Psychic/Flying/Water I'll have to give up on this franchise. That's the one that's always bugged me for years.

I really don't think we're getting a secondary typing combo on all three.

Obviously, all three starters final forms with have dual type with Dragon, because Dragon > Dragon > Dragon.
Problem solved. |

Honestly I'm tempted to believe that Rowlet might drop Flying for Dragon because that's the only other type that has conceivable fliers without Flying.
Then again Grass Dragon isn't a huge improvement over Grass Flying so

Grass/Dragon would be pretty cool, if nothing else. Works for Mega Sceptile. It'd certainly be the first time a starter became part Dragon without having to Mega Evolve. But yeah, I personally don't see Rowlet changing type.

I don't see that they have to abandon the heinous abomination that is Grass/Flying but I don't see why they can't make it Grass/Fighting later on if they really want to. And they can easily make it into a trinity if they want to (which they probably don't).

Spoiler below. The japanese pokemon site possibly had a vulnerability which revealed the final typing of the starters. The guy in the video shows how he did it. Don't click if you don't want to be spoiled on what are very possibly the final evo typings.

I really REALLY do not want another starter bird that turns into a Fighting type. Blaziken was one of, if not my least favorite final evo.
