/vp/ leaker just posted this:

me thinks im about to get a fossil. Also, theres a guy in this museum asking if i have a genesect to show it to him..i must know what he will give me

Guys I bet Chespin3 is Grass/Fairy

Unless he really is doomed to be 4x weak to either Fire or Flying

Fire isn't super effective against Fairy.

 

[Kirlia]

Grass/Fairy is x4 weak to Poison, lol.

Hahahaha!

 

[Letterbomb]

But Grass/Fighting is such terrible, terrible typing.

x4 Flying
x2 Fire, Ice, Psychic, Fairy, Poison

That is god awful. I'm rooting for Grass/Steel.

 

[Uno Venova]

so glad greninja is real. still holding out for chespin though. fennekin is a no go.

 

[Berordn]

Wait hold on. Water/Dark? So no reverse Triangle. Ah well.

Chespin could surprise everyone and be Grass/Rock, just to piss off anyone still on Team Fennekin.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

You can still use Malamar as a Psychic type!

I suppose that'll work. I could just throw a Fighting-type attack on Charizard.

 

[Mik317]

Greninja looks pretty cool.

Chespin3 has to be awesome...pls

 

[Calcium]

I'd really like to see Greninja in some other pose...

 

[DigitalOp]

I hope Greninja has a semi bouncy idle stance similar to Spiderman in MvC. That would look so dope.

Edit: Lmao at the timing of the post above me

 

[ffdgh]

But Grass/Fighting is such terrible, terrible typing.

x4 Flying
x2 Fire, Ice, Psychic, Fairy, Poison

That is god awful. I'm rooting for Grass/Steel.

But the type coverage would be so good. Grass/steel would be ok too.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I CANT LEAVE THIS THREAD NOW WHERE IS CHESPIN3

 

[kirblar]

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

 

[Kid Ska]

So Greninja was real after all? Well, alright. He's not bad.
Really hoping for a badass Chespin3 knight though.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

:O

What are you doing here?! This isn't TV-GAF!

I'm here to lick (with my long, ninja scarf tongue) up the tears of all the poor misguided Fenniken/Chespin fans as their final evo's turn out to be FLOPS.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Saving the best for last

CHESPIN, CHESPIN, CHESPIN

 

[Darknight34]

Chespin could be...grass/bug?

 

[Fey]

Grass/Fairy is x4 weak to Poison, lol.

Geez, Grass is seriously such a bad type. @____@

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

But Grass/Fighting is such terrible, terrible typing.

x4 Flying
x2 Fire, Ice, Psychic, Fairy, Poison

That is god awful. I'm rooting for Grass/Steel.

Welcome to grass types, they suck.

 

[Jenga]

only cool grass pokemon is scyther anyways

 

[Delio]

Chespin could surprise everyone and be Grass/Rock, just to piss off anyone still on Team Fennekin.

Like Grass/Rock would stop Delphox running all over it. Sad that it cant touch Greninja at all now but that's what other pokemon are for.

 

[Green Mamba]

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

 

[Hedge]

So with Froakie3 confirmed.. is 70 new pokemon confirmed, too?

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Chespin could be...grass/bug?

4x weakness to Fire and Flying...

 

[enzo_gt]

In there.

Greninja/Charizard it is.

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

 

[Tusk]

So, the /vp/ leaker said a dude at the fossil place is asking to see Genesect. Possibly gives you a mega stone for him???

 

[SloaneRisette]

Chespin could be...grass/bug?

Please no.

 

[Kirlia]

Chespin could be...grass/bug?

Still a 4x Flying weakness, I think!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

only cool grass pokemon is scyther anyways

So about that...

^^And 4x to fire. Bug/Grass might be the worst combo of all, possibly only surpassed by Stone/Ice.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Basically.

Grass/Steel for the ccccccccccombo breaker

 

[DedValve]

Has Fennekins final evo been confirmed yet? links? PM?

I must know!

 

[Berordn]

Like Grass/Rock would stop Delphox running all over it. Sad that it cant touch Greninja at all now but that's what other pokemon are for.

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

 

[JohnDoe]

only cool grass pokemon is scyther anyways

you mean Bug/Flying lol
come on doe

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

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.

 

[Kirlia]

only cool grass pokemon is scyther anyways

...Scyther is Bug/Flying...

 

[PreyingShark]

Geez, Grass is seriously such a bad type. @____@

It's a shame, really. They have so many good moves, too, but the type of those moves kills them! ><;

 

[Permanently A]

Can't wait to see the response to Grass starter's final form.

 

[Soren01]

Chespin 3 will be grass/ground.

 

[Firemind]

I like water/dark as a concept, and it fits Greninja, but so many weaknesses.

electric, grass, bug, fighting, fairy

 

[Dr. Buni]

Should we expect Chespin3 anytime soon?

 

[Ultima_5]

Has Fennekins final evo been confirmed yet? links? PM?

I must know!

yup

 

[Jenga]

you mean Bug/Flying lol

grass must really have nothing!

 

[Wazzy]

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

Being ugly is a pretty good reason if you ask me. I'm of course referring to Gen V starters, not Greninja, he's awesome.

 

[Atlantis]

Geez, Grass is seriously such a bad type. @____@

They went overboard trying to balance good resistances with plentiful weaknesses.

 

[ffdgh]

The fox for any who missed it.

 

[Village]

Getting that ninja frog.

Does the fire one have a bankai.

 

[Kirlia]

Has Fennekins final evo been confirmed yet? links? PM?

I must know!

You clearly haven't seen the rampant disappointment on this forum towards Delphox.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Also most Grass types have a really shallow movepool, with mostly grass type moves and nothing else.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm ok with Grass/Steel.
Makes more sense for a Knight/Tank Pokémon.

 

[ivysaur12]

Welcome to grass types, they suck.

Fuck off.

Spoiler

Plz rebalance my favorite type in Gen VII
