Why did people think Greninja was fake? For the same nonsensical reasons everyone thought the Gen V starter evolutions were fake?

Nothing nonsensical about it. His design aesthetic does a total 180 and he randomly loses his foam. His head looks like a robot. As I said before, he looks like fanart. My opinion may change when I see more art or see him in motion, but that's how I feel with the images we've got.

Edit: I like how he looks in this fanart for example

Thank you SO fucking much Gamefreak. #TeamFroakie

 

[DigitalOp]

Grass/Steel makes the most sense, it lets the Chespin line involve into a tank pokemon with only 2 weaknesses and a whole lot of resists. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ferroseed_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#Type_effectiveness Also, again, Chespin's clearly growing armor.

This is the mess you get with Grass/Fighting: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Virizion_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#Type_effectiveness

Grass/Steel is too uber for a starter... You could sweep the rest of the game with that. The only way to knock it on its ass is with fire.... Too uber.

 

[Frost_Ace]

So Chespin3 will be grass/fighting?

Possibly the greatest line of evolutions for a starter.

you should go ly dow

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Fuck off.

Spoiler

Plz rebalance my favorite type in Gen VII

Hey man I feel you, I like Fire types

 

[Wiz]

Grass/Fighting is most likely for Chespins final evo.

Makes sense since Fire > Grass > Water > Fire
And Psychic > Fighting > Dark > Psychic

 

[TheOGB]

Fire isn't super effective against Fairy.

People were throwing out Grass/Fighting (Flying) and Grass/Steel (Fire)

Grass/Fairy is x4 weak to Poison, lol.

OH, WELL HE'S FUCKED! LOL

 

[Kinokou]

The fox for any who missed it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE Why didn't it hit me before? Waiting for fanworks now

 

[Atlantis]

Hey man I feel you, I like Fire types

Hey guys, at least they're not Ice!

 

[ffdgh]

since i was at the bottom, heres the fox incase anyone missed it.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Ninja frog it is for me.

 

[F0rneus]

Froakie is now officially the greatest starter in Pokemon history. Damn. Everybody will be picking him. Strider Frog!

 

[Delio]

You say that, and then take a Stone Edge to the face.

Considering the Fox will be moving first you better hope your special defense can handle it.

 

[Tusk]

Uggghh.. There's a gameshop that's supposedly selling x/y early, but it's 3 hours away.

 

[Metallix87]

Uggghh.. There's a gameshop that's supposedly selling x/y early, but it's 3 hours away.

... So what are you waiting for?

 

[DedValve]

The fox for any who missed it.

THA-....Umm...thanks.

Yeah....

Damn, Braixen was so incredible too. But it looks cool for a mage.....

Spoiler

I wanted a witch

 

[Dorj]

Chespin 3 will lose grass-typing and become normal, mono.

 

[Mik317]

In there.

Greninja/Charizard it is.

Chances of the grass starter''s final form being any good are slim, just like every other gen.

It's been awhile but I remember Venusaur being pretty solid...not as beastly as Charizard and Blastoise...but lets be honest not many are.

 

[Letterbomb]

Uggghh.. There's a gameshop that's supposedly selling x/y early, but it's 3 hours away.

... So what are you waiting for?

Exactly what I thought. Only 3 hours? Lol what dafuq are you doing on GAF? Get in your car, nigga.

 

[jokkir]

:lol at the junior post

 

[hemtae]

Uggghh.. There's a gameshop that's supposedly selling x/y early, but it's 3 hours away.

Put on the adult diapers and get in the car.

 

[Tusk]

... So what are you waiting for?

I dunno. x.x It's kinda too far, too me atleast, and my grandparents have the car. I gotta call them and see if they can go get it

 

[Fey]

Grass, Ice, and Poison are my favourite types. RIP me


Thank god Fairy has come along. <3

 

[sgjackson]

About the only thing that would convert me from Team Greninja is if Chespin evolved into a stout Grass/Steel type who grew swords and learned Swords Dance and Leaf Blade.

I'm ok with Delphox but Greninja is dope.

 

[DigitalOp]

Delphox isn't bad at all. These are the best starters we've had on yearssssssss

I believe in Chespin enough to bring it home

 

[gngf123]

Wonder how long it'll be until we see Chespin's final evo.

 

[Korosenai]

Uggghh.. There's a gameshop that's supposedly selling x/y early, but it's 3 hours away.

How do you go about finding out stuff like this? Did you just call and ask? I might try that for my local game shop.

 

[Atlantis]

It's been awhile but I remember Venusaur being pretty solid...not as beastly as Charizard and Blastoise...but lets be honest not many are.

Venusaur is currently the best Gen 1 starter for in-game and for competitive battling.

 

[Metallix87]

I dunno. x.x It's kinda too far, too me atleast, and my grandparents have the car. I gotta call them and see if they can go get it

... Again, what are you waiting for? Why are you even on here?

 

[kirblar]

Grass/Steel is too uber for a starter... You could sweep the rest of the game with that. The only way to knock it on its ass is with fire.... Too uber.

It actually lets you do a circle where Delphox is weak to Water, but not Dark, Greninja is weak to Grass, but not Steel, and Chespin3 is weak to Fire, but not Psychic.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I don't have a problem with a ninja. But from the way Froakie looked and the foam motif, I was hoping it would turn into something more majestic.

I do get that, but Greninja is cool so I'm good. Too bad about Fennekin though, I really really wanted something majestic.

 

[Green Mamba]

Nothing nonsensical about it. His design aesthetic does a total 180 and he randomly loses his foam. His head looks like a robot. As I said before, he looks like fanart. My opinion may change when I see more art or see him in motion, but that's how I feel with the images we've got.

Edit: I like how he looks in this fanart for example

I would argue it's nonsensical because you're basing your viewpoint on how much you like and agree with the Pokemon's look, not at all with any real evidence to the contrary.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Man, those starters might steal the "god tier" spot from the Gen IV ones.

Chespin needs to have a really badass evolution for me to consider picking it over Fennekin or Froakie btw. Grass/Fighting sounds uninteresting, but hey.

 

[Kouriozan]

We got our Witch, we got our Ninja, where is my Knight?!?!
Please everyone, pray to Arceus, the god of all Pokémon!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

while we're on the subject, it turns out that the question of squirtle versus charmander has been answered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EAdGv89e0sE

 

[Hedge]

Shouldn't the Froakie leaker be fighting his rival with the other starters? That should leak Chespin3, no?

 

[DigitalOp]

I dunno. x.x It's kinda too far, too me atleast, and my grandparents have the car. I gotta call them and see if they can go get it

You're loafing Tusk, you should have never posted that. Were going to rag on you all night lol.

 

[Letterbomb]

Shouldn't the Froakie leaker be fighting his rival with the other starters? That should leak Chespin3, no?

That depends on if he's just been grinding or if he's been progressing the story.

 

[Stoof]

It actually lets you do a circle where Delphox is weak to Water, but not Dark, Greninja is weak to Grass, but not Steel, and Chespin3 is weak to Fire, but not Psychic.

...but Delphox is weak to dark!

 

[Vire]

Now I'm bummed these are fake.

 

[Oblivionmancer]

It actually lets you do a circle where Delphox is weak to Water, but not Dark, Greninja is weak to Grass, but not Steel, and Chespin3 is weak to Fire, but not Psychic.

I think you need to consult that type chart again...

 

[Berordn]

Considering the Fox will be moving first you better hope your special defense can handle it.

Considering he's looking like like he's going the generally bulky route, yeah I wouldn't be too concerned.

Doesn't matter, I was #teamfroakie the whole time.

 

[ffdgh]

.

 

[MicH]

Yessss Greninja! Very happy about this. Chespin3 better deliver it I'll be going #TeamFroakie

 

[Mik317]

Venusaur is currently the best Gen 1 starter for in-game and for competitive battling.

ok that's what I thought.
Too bad Venusaur looked so dumb back then.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

If someone has a European copy I'd really like to know whether you can choose the language, even if it's through the system settings.

Yep. You can even play through the Japanese version in English.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[Pappasman]

After my initial dissapointment I've started to warm up to Delphox. I'm getting Squirtle for sure so now it comes down to Delphox vs Chespin3.
