But aren't the timelines split now?

not really, they basically just explained why old gens existed without megas, cuz it was a different universe or whatever. but even then its vague and confusing because you literally are playing the gen 3 games in the back of the moving truck of ORAS so that sort of implies they were just video games in their universe? and team aqua/magma also implies that different versions happen in different universes too. so its all kind of up in the air, but either way its not like the timeline is split in any practical sense because theyre not gonna add new games to the old gens...although I would love for them to make smaller games with retro graphics for eshop and the like

I thought he was getting rowlet?

Leaked art that first revealed the final stages of the straters showed Ash and the plant girl and pikachu trekking with incineroar and cooking something on his belt as well as the picture of him slamming a table on pikachu.

Firecat is totally fire fighting right down to the special move. Who are they trying to kid here.

Dark has always being "dirty fighting and trickery" counter part to Fighting's "Honorable martial arts", so i don't see what's the deal.

Man this seems like a mismatch lol. That cat is gonna run all over ash lol. Worse than charizard used to treat him probably lol.

I haven't really confused dark type pokemon for fighters before though.

People focusing too much on the fact that he's a wrestler, but he's supposed to be a HEEL, that is a bad guy wrestler, cheating and all that, that's why it makes sense he's dark and how many people predicted he'd be dark.

Think about it, if the Undertaker or Keane were pokemon they'd be Dark types.

Anyway, after all the trailers I've decided to go as the female trainer for the first time in the series. The dude just looks goofy as fuck, especially during Z-moves, but the demo was the final straw, with that goofy ass smile on his face as Hakamo-o charged towards him.

Nah fuck that noise, Chicken-chan it is.

First time ever the water starter is going to be #3 for me.

And that is not a knock. I love that line too. Just feel like Grass and Fire are so strong.
 
Grass stays winning. What a damn great design, and Grass/Ghost to boot. I especially loved how Chesnaught was designed in Gen VI, so I'll be using another Grass starter again.

Fire is...pretty bad. The bipedal design already infuriates me as I was hoping for a badass quadripedal evolution. If nothing else, at least I like the wrestler theme and I definitely had Zangief flashbacks when I saw its Lariat attack. It's at least better looking than Trashfox from Gen VI, so yay?

Primarina is something I'm indifferent to. The final evolution looks pretty nice though compared to Popplio and Brionne. Water/Fairy could be a boon depending on what stats it has, and the movepool it gets.

So for the three final evos...

Litten.. Fire dark
Rowlett.. Grass ghost
Popplio.. Fairy water

What are each weak against?

I know alot of people going with litten and Rowlett.. But I'm betting that Popplio is gonna be bulky af and good for end game

Their secondary types follow the exact same weakness chain as their primary, with the exception that wrestle cat's fire typing cockblocks fairy's super effectiveness against dark.
