I'd love for froakie to be water/ice but an ice frog? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me and would remove it's resistance to fire.

Empoleon lost its resistance to fire
Torterra lost its resistance to grass and water D:

but yeah looking at it now it does look more like bubbles.
I am surprised it is not a tadpole

Torterra was a tank to begin with but I do get what your saying.

Froakie looks like Water/Ground too.. actually.. I'm not that fond of Froakie actually so I'm not too fussed what he turns out to be..

I think you're the first person I've seen who hasn't fallen instantly in love with Froakie. I thought it was the out and out most popular starter this gen.

I think the starters are likely gonna be pure typed this gen. I mean, I can't spot any obvious second type hints from the first form. I doubt Grass/Ground for Chespin, despite its colouring. I'm actually tempted to say it'll develop Normal as a second type, if anything.

I heard rumours that Froakie's line would be 'wizard' based, so Water/Psychic?

I heard it was going to be wizard based but Water/Electric type. Neither holds much weight though.

Most people think Fennekin is going to be Fire/Psychic because of some ambiguous move it does and also because it kinda looks like it could be.

Froak's using Ice Beam.

Froak's using Ice Beam.

Nah that's water gun. There's no way they'd have a first stage evolution starter learn Ice Beam. We already know Froakie himself is pure water type.

Maybe it'll be ice/water in its 3rd stage but I'm doubtful to be honest. I'm expecting Water/Fighting. It has that kind of jumpy kicky look about it. And I'm happy about that.

[Lightning]

I'm kind of hoping for the reverse triangle rumour to be true so:

Froakie: Water/Fighting
Chespin: Grass/Dark
Fennekin: Fire/Psychic

But I can't say I would complain if they kept the starters pure all the way through their evolution lines.

As for the legendaries I'm hoping for something along the lines of:

Xerneas: Ground/Psychic
Yveltal: Flying/Dark

And, finally, as for Sylveon I have high hopes for it to be Normal.

[The biscquiat dragon]

That looks like a snowflake. It could pass as a crude water gun but it's almost too jagged to even consider that.
It is too powerful for a first stage starter. However, in before "we don't yet know the moveset for this Pokemon" Sylveon's Trump Card is learned by an Eevee at level 57. It's not actually implying that you will evolve Sylveon at level 57 as most people don't, and because nothing much could be gleaned from it, it might have been put in as a teaser. Ice move could be put in as a teaser.
Froak's colors match that of an ice type. Bubble collar could be a warm wool coat.


Several flakes literally ringing the attack? Or is it just me.

[Turner]

That just looks like 'splash' shapes rotated.

Froakie himself is Water-type only though. Go check the official website

[The biscquiat dragon]

It looks like "just splash shapes" rotated, but it also looks distinctly like a pattern. Not to mention the aqua colored rings that can be described as energy. And if it were, it could have been featured just to insinuate something.

Whatever with the typeage really, if you're going that way then there's no point in ever speculating a second type at all. Azurill was the same way, as was Piplup.

[Turner]

If you listen to the trailer it sounds like water gun and sounds like it hits super-effective on pansear which ice beam certainly wouldn't. Also the other starters use fire/grass moves so it would make no sense for froakie to use an ice move.

A-hem, I think you're forgetting someone. Froakie is my least favorite too. I mean, another frog?

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I thought Froakie was all right and pehaps it'll get a Poison type evolution. I think that if it evolved into a poison dart type frog, that'll be cool as it'll be immune to the Poison and Toxic statuses and resistance to other Poison types.

[Alpha Fenrir]

^Poison would make sense but again, that type has been done to death. Perhaps I should amend my previous post: another frog/toad?

Poliwag, Tympole and now, Froakie. Please, be more original.
