Topic: new pokemon type predictions

It is a forest-roaming creature? Making a connection with Virizion. In the video Xerneas is in the forest. That's where the Grass type came from. My lord, it does look like the sum of Dialga and Sawsbuck.

I see no connection, as looks can be deceiving. I mean, Gyarados is a Water/Flying-type, not Water/Dragon-type, let alone a Dragon-type.
 
But in my opinion I think Xerneas is a Grass/Poison-type.

On the official Pokemon website it now says that the starters are pure types. Still nothing on Xerneas and Yveltal's types.

[Richard and Blaziken]

^Here's hoping they don't suck as bad as the Unova starters did then. Without DW abilities, Serperior and Emboar suck, and Samurott is garbage either way. I really don't know why they're unwilling to step outside of the norm with starters recently, it has gotten really boring. Hopefully the final evos will have fun, less standardized typing than what we're used to.

Yeah, I agree. Hopefully the second moves used in the trailer are hints for second types they gain through evolution.

[Lord Raven]

The base forms are pure-types from what's been confirmed so far.


EDIT:  There's rumors floating around of Grass/Dark, Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting, Yveltal is Fire/??? and Xerneas is Grass/???.  From a leak.  Google it, I'm too lazy to find the link.

Let's weigh in on this....

Is this reliable? I am really unsure now....

Chespin: Grass/Rock.
Fennekin: Fire/Psychic or Fire/Dark.
Froakie: Water/Ice.

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.

It definitely looks like fennekin will be fire/psychic though, which is cool. I'd be pretty bummed out if it was fire/fighting again. As for chespin...as much as I want to believe Grass/Dark I somehow can't see it happening as it'd potentially lose it's resistance to water.

But then again, if in the last stage it was Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark and Water/Fighting it'd make them all lose their resistance to each other with those moves...which would be pretty interesting.

[Specstile]

most water types can learn ice moves though so i don't think its evolution is an ice type
I think froakie is Water/Flying due to the cloud around its neck, frogs like jumping right? It means that chespin would be rock or electric though and i don't see nintendo doing that.

Water/flying
Grass/Rock
Fire/Fight lol

Fire looses against flying (and water but shhh)
Grass looses against fight
Water looses against rock
so they are all weak to the secondary typing like the dark,psychic and fight circle

[sans the skeleton]

• Froakie... Water/Fighting. It just screams to me, "Hey! I'm that really annoying starter which, although my design has no artistic merit, is the strongest of this region!", and we all know how fighting is the favorite to make starters strong;
  

I thought the lack of design award went to chespin for basically being emolga, pachirisu, pikachu, and oshawott combined but a grass type.

Still hoping for a Fire/psychic Fennelkin though...

I think the 'cloud' is supposed to be foam/bubbles/frogspawn kinda stuff.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I think the game would be interesting with more Bug/Water and Water/Steel types. Covers the major weakness of Fire to the Steel and Bug sides. A metallic lobster would be cool. Also needs a Poison.Fire type since so many Fire Pokemon can learn Poison attacks or even have poisonous attributes mentioned in their Pokedex entries.

[Draghost999]

I think this new game will have a Grass/Dark Pokemon for no reason. Maybe they'll call it Vilet, which is Vile + Violet.

[Roguewolf1999]

I honestly an Water/Ice starter out of all the choices of types.
