I'll rank the starters for fun, too:

Charmander > Fennekin > Torchic > Cyndaquil > Tepig > Chimchar
Froakie > Totodile > Squirtle > Mudkip > Oshawott > Piplup
Treecko > Turtwig > Bulbasaur > Snivy > Chespin > Chikorita
Charmander > Fennekin > Torchic > Cyndaquil > Tepig > Chimchar
Froakie > Totodile > Squirtle > Mudkip > Oshawott > Piplup

Glad I never played Neopets.
Okay, if the first gives 6 points, the second 5 points etc. then:
Gen I: 9 points
Gen II: 9 points
Gen III: 15 points
Gen IV: 5 points
Gen V: 11 points (thanks to Snivy)
Gen VI: 14 points
So it's really good. III>VI>V>I=II>>IV

Grass:
Turtwig > Chespin > Bulbasaur > Snivy > Treecko > Bayleef
Fire:
Tepig > Chimchar > Fennekin > Charmander > Torchic > Cyndaquil
Water:
Piplup > Mudkip > Froakie > Oshawatt > Squirtle > Totodile
I think I'm the only person in the world who really loves Gen IV starters. And I have no idea what people see in Gen II starters. It's my favorite gen, but worst starters.

If I had to chose one starter of each type I'd go with Tepig, Totodile, and Bulbasaur for stage 1 evolutions. Charizard, Empoleon, and Torterra for final evolutions. Middle evolutions not worth discussing unless you're making a worst of list.
Reserving final judgement on these new ones until I actually play the games and have more exposure to them. There's always a lot of positive and negative reactions to starters when they're shown and it usually changes. I don't hate any of these new guys, but Froakie looks like my guy right now.
I like Gen IV quite a bit in terms of starters. Only Infernape and reeeeallly shitty middle evolutions hold it back. Generation II is saved by awesome Cyndaquil, Totodile and the beast that is Meganium. But it's quite a plain looking line of evolutions.
That's a Dark looking frog. Definitely thinking up a Nasty Plot in that image.

You know, I'm thinking Froakie could be a psychic too due to its pose in the first artwork.
It's touching its head in a way that could indicate it has psychic powers.

Ugh. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Fennekin or Chespin but the "looks like neopets" crowd can go piss up a rope.the new frog does literally look like a neopet, im pretty sure theres a neopet similar

Picking Y because he's a fucking wyvern. My fiance will probably want X because that legendary looks like an Irish elk.
This and Chi = X is brilliant.
Holy horrific fuck at the neopet. Get it off this topic.
EDIT: I'd love the design of that chital if it didn't have rainbow antlers. Leaning towards getting Y at the minute because its cry in the trailer sounded cool.

A water/dark would be amazing. I'm really crossing my fingers for that one.

That Neopet has an... interesting pose.
Also, the name for Y in many European languages literally translates into "Greek I"
Perhaps it will be Paris + Mediterranean coast?
This is so horrendous that I'll quote it again.
For those who don't know, he means the Greek letter "chi"
I think its more based off Shishigami? The Deer god of forests?

The problem with this is that Dark is immune to Psychic.
It's not a problem because grass is weak against fire... None of them have an advantage.
Also, do you really think they'd have a starter that was the "Evil-type" in Japan?

Irrelevant. Dark breaks the flow of that idea.

A bit late with all of this as I was doing overtime at work and without an internet connection. So happy those rumours and stuff turned out to be fake. I LOVE the graphics on the Pokémon as that's pretty much exactly what I wanted, but people look weird as do some environments. Everything is still on a grid yes? I think that's why some things look a little jarring, particular player movement and certain aspects of the environment as everything is too boxy. I do understand that a lot of gameplay elements are based on the grid design though.
However I'm really excited and I love the names too. I never expected in a million years something like X and Y. It sounds cool and unique. Starter Pokémon look pretty different too but I like them, and the legendaries look really good too. The male player character looks too much like the ones we got in the BW series, but maybe there is customisation?
EDIT: Yeah, a DQIX vibe is what I got too. I was expecting much more natural graphics, however I'm still happy and excited. Bring on October!

No it doesn't. You would never use a fire attack on a water type. It's essentially the same.
Not that big of a deal when the other STAB (Fire) will hit for SED. The chart is more about that than resistances. Everything hits everything for some Super Effective Damage.
So behind that innocent look...

Gen 2 has my least favorites in Grass and Water, but my favorite Fire out of all six gens, so I guess it evens out.

Last time I checked, yes, the Pokémon Direct presentation was up. No 3D trailer though.

My wife and I both blurted out the reference when we saw it in the trailer.
No trailer, just the Pokemon Direct.
