Popplio's evo could be water/fighting.

Litten's evo could be fire/ground

Why do people assume it's for the starters? It could be for new Pokemon they will reveal eventually. I doubt they will announce evolutions so soon since those are normally held off until launch.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

What if, when you start up a Sun/Moon game, you get the ability to download 'Episode Z' for X/Y and the 'Battle Frontier' for ORAS?

 

[ColtraineGF]

So Fire and Fighting existing in the same page = it MUST mean another Fire/Fighting starter?

So why would they put those particular types up first, months before the second and third evos would be revealed, and "out of order"? If you were to pair them up, then Fire/Ground would be the pair.

And even then, I've never heard of a Pokemon, starter or otherwise, that switched primary and secondary typing during evolution.

 

[Hedge]

I'd kill for just one starter having the x/Ghost type, or something. I know it'd probably be a bit too special and OP to start off with, but I'm just a bit tired of seeing the same kinds of typings in the starter trio.

But then I'm biased because Ghost types are amazing.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I will truly be heartbroken if Litten ends up as a buff fighting type.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

i don't play PVP Pokemon but fighting always seems super weak. Pls no fire/fighting.

Blaziken was a savage

 

[Link_enfant]

I know it's not likely to happen at all, but I wish they eventually realize that making certain Pokémon shiny locked is utterly useless, annoying and that they don't do it anymore.
Why even bother doing such a thing when its only purpose is to annoy fans and shiny hunters by preventing them from getting shiny legendaries?

That sh*t started quite some time ago, even if it only affected Mystery Gift/distribution Pokémon at first. It just has to end...

 

[papertoonz]

Blaziken was a savage

yeah thanks to it's hidden ability

fighting isn't a bad type but not the best

 

[Seil]

Literally only two starters out of 36 use those types. I know Bulbasaur is Grass/Poison, I know Pikachu was a starter once, I'm just saying that a Fire/Poison or Water/Electric starter would be more interesting that yet another Fire/Fighting.

Eh? 2 starters out of 19 (base forms, 22 if we count the new 3) use those types. I'm not sure where you pulled 36 from, since that doesn't even account for all the evolutions, which would be 58 known right now (9 for each generation 1-6 = 54, Pikachu (doesn't normally evolve in Yellow), and the three we know for Gen VII right now).

But the point is you mentioned two types that do have starters and claimed they don't. I pointed out you were wrong on that one point. That's really the end of any part I had in this discussion. I don't like seeing incorrect information when it can be helped.

Popplio's evo could be water/fighting.

Litten's evo could be fire/ground

Given the order of those types, Rowlet evolving into a Grass/Ground-type is also in the cards. That typing would fit well if it got a wood-focused evolution, and combined with access to Flying-type moves, Rowlet's evolution would be fairly interesting metagame-wise.

That would make Litten's evolution a pure Fire-type, which hasn't happened in a while. In Popplio's case, there is precedence of a Water/Fighting-type that isn't bipedal in Keldeo (and incidentally, the Swords of Justice are the only non-bipedal Fighting-types in general), but I guess we'll see.

 

[Tiamant]

I expect this to get a lot of use around here

With Sun and Moon being launched at the end o this year, it looks like that the third edition of Gen 6 won't be launching. Does that mean that Zygarde's story with the mini blobs ends here? And what's going to happen to Thousand arrows/waves?

Fighting is one of the to-go offense types next to Ground.

Fire/Poison is a crappy combo though, especially if litten is supposed to be a fast, nonbulky type

[Spinosaurus]

Increasingly convinced Popplio will have a clown afro made out of bubbles when it evolves, and it'll be glorious.

We don't know. It could be a side-story in SM, the stories of Gen 6 and 7 could be related, it could be completely forgotten or it could even still get it's own Gen 7 game. No way to tell atm.

 

[Not75Drops]

Can anyone recognise the Pokemon to the left when the player is leaving his house? I doubt it's new but I can't tell. It's the only scene that isn't in the international trailer.

Nice catch! Kinda looks like Stantler, but there are no antlers on that Pokemon.

Um, Eevee is my guess but hard to tell 100%.

It looks similar to Stantler but it's not. Maybe it's a new baby?

Eevee's tail and ears are different.

True. So, new then?

Here it is:

Vs.

Yeah, not the same.

 

[Not75Drops]

Oh cool if it's new then. I didn't expect that to happen.

I think it's new. Whatever it is is super cute and I want one.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Game better let us have an Eevee. I feel like in each game I should always have some form of an eon.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

yeah thanks to it's hidden ability

fighting isn't a bad type but not the best

Actually, Fighting is up there as one of the best offensive types post-Gen V. All thanks to the buff it had in Gen V.

 

[Phu]

I think it's a new Pokemon, maybe some kind of puppy? The ears and tail don't look enough like Eevee.

 

[Kyzer]

baby stantler is gen 7 bidoof confirmed

 

[God Dayumm]

Looks like a diabolical eevee with a skull collar. Maybe Ghost evolution?

 

[Galava]

Definetly a new Pokémon. Must be the regional route 1 normal type. Marshadow?

 

[Forkball]

CoroCoro delivered: a new Pokemon we see the back off for a quarter of a second.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Here's a gif of the new footage from the vid: http://i.imgur.com/G2eOhRl.webm

Reminds me of people guessing the then-unnamed Skiddo

Looks like diagonal movement. Maybe we still are stuck do a grid.

 

[Dimitri LH]

You think Gamefreak will let loose/go crazy and add multiple branching path evolution for starters? Ya know like Kyrlia having the option of going Gallade or Gardevoir?

Eevee talk made me think of this, It would honestly be interesting and something people wont be expecting.

 

[MomoQca]

Although it's not an outright confirmation, the way the trailer is structured makes me think this IS the starting town. Not that random house on the southern beach like some speculated.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Looks like diagonal movement. Maybe we still are stuck do a grid.

Even if so, at least the world design is less grid based so it'll hide it a bit better than XY. I'm just glad the NPCs aren't just standing dead still any more (that woman is waving her arm at a child).

would be a cool twist

That's a nice touch. With those animations I hope we get true crowds at some point. A festival!

 

[ColtraineGF]

Whatever it is, it's possible we'll see it soon - I imagine that if the PC is in a starting town it must be an early dex mon, making it a candidate for prerelease reveal.

 

[Kyzer]

XY had NPCs painting, running, all kinds of stuff

 

[Not75Drops]

You have to wonder if they did that intentionally. I mean, it probably was accidental but it's the only part of the trailer that's different to ours. Why not just keep them exactly the same?

 

[Crayolan]

That definitely looks like a new pokemon. Color scheme makes me think route 1 rodent but it doesn't look very rodent-ish.

 

[wmlk]

Right, but it's stuck at a weird halfway point. I thought XY was odd with its pseudo-grid thing. While this is less like that, there are still some elements.

 

[Exterminieren]

That new Pokémon looks like it might be a Pomeranian to me.

Spoiler

plsplspls

 

[Galava]

Could the new mon be shiba inu inspired? The way the tail kinda swirls up and forward.

 

[HeelPower]

Anyone else grew to like the starters ?

I was one of the first to complain.
Now I find all three of them strangely likeable.

They certainly aren't conventional starters ,but they're all likeable in their own way.

 

[Joqu]

I know not every new Pokemon is going to be designed after its region but it could be related to the (extinct) hawaiian poi dog. It doesn't particularly match up mind you, but those are neat.

 

[YAWN]

It looks as if the new Mon has a studded collar sorta design. First guess is that it would be dog related. Perhaps an early one similar to Lillipup.

 

[Voost Kain]

Rowret, Ritten, and Popprio in japanese.

Why I mean they ran out of idea even more than they had before really, Litten? Just freaking put in the K you are one step away.
