Fennekin line is definitely Fire/Pyschic. It knows Psycho Cut too.

Edit: Beaten

 

[Glass Rebel]

We all know the reason for this.
Yeah, the Pokkèn Tournament thing.

 

[Exterminieren]

Well I think the brown one would be good enough for me, but I've seen darker skin tones on PSS avatars and wonder if tans are possible. More options would be great for everyone.

You can choose a darker skin tone at the start of the game.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Yes the Fire/Fighting starter chain has been broken!

 

[foxuzamaki]

"It also states that Mewtwo is version exclusive"

fuck

 

[FSLink]

Looks like the 1st evos for the starters stay single type, so hopefully they'll show their final evo (+ mega evo?) too.

You can choose a darker skin tone at the start of the game.

That person's hoping you can have darker skin tones than the preselects at the start.

 

[Sigismundo]

Mega Garchomp. Jesus Christ.

At least it doesn't have Sand Veil so Smogon isn't gonna ban it instantly.

 

[DaBoss]

Soooooo, the question now is which of the other 2 starters are Fighting and Dark.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Apparently Fennekin's evo has a twig in it's tail, that it uses to fight and it stands upright, while Chespin's evo has a silhouette like Gengars's, while Froakie's evo is slender.

Apparently no other new Mega Evos besides Garchomp and Mewtwo. Not even Kangaskahn

 

[Glass Rebel]

Soooooo, the question now is which of the other 2 starters are Fighting and Dark.

Froakie is a ninja so he must be Dark. Please!

 

[Exterminieren]

Chespin's evo has got a Gengar-esque silhouette, apparently.
Damnit, ninja-ed by the source.

 

[afoni]

Soooooo, the question now is which of the other 2 starters are Fighting and Dark.

Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting, Grass/Dark

It makes the type advantage triangle go both ways. They'd be stupid not to do it.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Chespin's evo knows Mud Shot so
Grass/Ground?

 

[Boss Doggie]

But if you guys are basing Fennekin evo due to Psycho Cut, then Chespin's gonna be Grass/Ground due to Mud Shot.

...

Noooooooooooo D:

 

[FSLink]

Soooooo, the question now is which of the other 2 starters are Fighting and Dark.

Considering the Pokebeach rumors thus far...should be Chespin: Grass/Dark, and Froakie: Water/Fighting.

 

[Qurupeke]

Apparently Fennekin's evo has a twig in it's tail, that it uses to fight and it stands upright, while Chespin's evo has a silhouette like Gengars's, while Froakie's evo is slender.

Chespin... Gengar? Haha it sounds lame. Fennekin+Froakie forever.

 

[Clairvoyance]

Apparently Fennekin's evo has a twig in it's tail, that it uses to fight and it stands upright, while Chespin's evo has a silhouette like Gengars's, while Froakie's evo is slender.

I hope so. I don't want it to be another ugly fat frog like Seismitoad.

 

[DaBoss]

You can choose a darker skin tone at the start of the game.

Talking about this:

There are is a brown tone, and then a dark brown tone. We've only seen 3 skin tones on the beginning. They either added more, or there is a tanning option.

Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting, Grass/Dark

It makes the type advantage triangle go both ways. They'd be stupid not to do it.

That's what the rumor says.

 

[?oe?oe]

What if he is Fire/Psychic/Fighting?

MIND BLOWN!

 

[Glass Rebel]

yup, he's a fucking ninja after all.

 

[Zaventem]

Did we really need mega garchomp..

 

[Qurupeke]

It seems Steel has lost resistance to Ghost, Dark... What....

 

[FSLink]

Did we really need mega garchomp..

Well we didn't need Mega Lucario and Blaziken and we got those.

It seems Steel has lost resistance to Ghost, Dark... What....

Wut, rebalancing old types too? :0

 

[Glass Rebel]

you mean passersby 2 and 6? Their entire sprite is darker though, I think they're blacked out because they're offline or something like that.

 

[J@hranimo]

Guys, Fennekin evo apparently knows psycho cut! Psychic.

BOOM! No fighting type then!

Ahhh all this info is making me too excited!!!!!!!!!!

Mega Garchomp is fucking ridiculous

 

[Exterminieren]

The type chart has been tweaked beyond Fairy. Steel has lost its Dark and Ghost resistances.

Come on, Grass and Poison buffs.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Steel has lost its resistance to Dark and Ghost
wat

 

[DaBoss]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Type chart rebalance.

you mean passersby 2 and 6? Their entire sprite is darker though, I think they're blacked out because they're offline or something like that.

Well damn, that makes sense lol.

 

[Clairvoyance]

Nice, I was hoping Gamefreak would use adding the Fairy type as an excuse to change around some of the other type relations.

 

[foxuzamaki]

waiting for the 2nd eveelution to be revealed as they always get revealed in pairs

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Poor Metagross/Bronzong/Jirachi

 

[Macka]

The second Mega Mewtwo has normal hands and no stupid tail head, so it's already infinitely better than the first one.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Water weak to poison PLEASEEEE.

 

[FSLink]

Poor Metagross/Bronzong/Jirachi

Meh, they'll be fine.

I'd laugh if they change Jirachi to Steel/Fairy though, it'd be a beast.

 

[gosox333]

Fuuuuck I was hoping I'd avoid all starter evos before release.

I mean, I still technically can, but there's no way I'm gonna be able to keep away from this.

 

[Boss Doggie]

We need more Ice love

 

[Vermillion]

The type chart has been tweaked beyond Fairy. Steel has lost its Dark and Ghost resistances.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aggron! Lucario! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Meh, they'll be fine.

I'd laugh if they change Jirachi to Steel/Fairy though, it'd be a beast.

Yeah, they all have pretty good stats

 

[TheOGB]

Steel losing resistance? LOLWUT

Well damn, that makes sense lol.

Aww dude, what :V

I guess Friend 4 isn't slightly darker than Friend 1, then

 

[Vermillion]

Fuuuuck I was hoping I'd avoid all starter evos before release.

I mean, I still technically can, but there's no way I'm gonna be able to keep away from this.

Yup, same.

 

[J@hranimo]

Water weak to poison PLEASEEEE.

This, so much this! I will be so happy if they do this.

Everything we've known about pokemon is getting an overhaul...I love it

 

[Zelias]

I didn't expect them to rebalance old types. This is gonna be interesting.

 

[foxuzamaki]

well im gonna go to bed, will catch up tomorrow.

 

[Exterminieren]

Espurr's moveset varies by gender. The male is a supporter, the female is more of an offensive Pokémon.

 

[TheOGB]

Psycat's movepool varies by gender?

Things are getting interesting

 

[Qurupeke]

The cat's movepool varies by gender. That's great news.

 

[gosox333]

I dunno if I'm gonna believe they're re-balancing the type chart until we see pictures. I just can't believe they'd have the balls to do it.

 

[DaBoss]

Interesting, making gender differences like that would be cool.

 

[Firestorm]

I dunno if I'm gonna believe they're re-balancing the type chart until we see pictures. I just can't believe they'd have the balls to do it.

They literally created a new type. How are you unable to believe this.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I'm guessing Keen Eye is for fem cat
Infiltrator is for male cat
