6th Gen Starter Pokémon

Something comes to mind there. What if the starters final lines evolved via Water Stone, Fire Stone, Leaf Stone, etc? I mean it's unlikely but I think that'd fit in with a possible DNA theme.

I'm not sure if that would be likely, but I do hope that they evolve by some other means than the traditional 'level-up'. Even if it is increasing their happiness level or bringing them to a specific location, I wish they would change it up for once.

Specific location... maybe there's like a point, where after beating a certain gym leader your starter could evolve? Maybe it could relate to genetics by having something programmed inside them to evolve after a certain achievement. Idk that might overcomplicate things tho.

Big fan of all 3, although Chespin looks a bit... busy. It's basically a cross between Petilil (the green bit), Emolga (face) and Sandshrew (lower body). Then again Fennekin is pretty much Zorua mixed with Ninetales, but at least Zorua and Ninetales mix more naturally.

I really like Fennekin and Froakin actually, both nice simple designs done well. Froakin could probably do without the white blobs on his nose though, much like Sylveon could really lose the bow tie, but that's another matter.

I like them alot more than the previous generations starters! Lets just say that...

Some beleive that "mustache" are actually spectacles.

This is what I thought. I would have never even thought that it could be a mustache o.o

But I like all three of the starters. But my favorite is Fennkin because it is an adorable fox! <3

Fennekin reminds me of Ninetails, idk why though xD
Fennekin all the waaaay!

Speaking of rivals always having the type that's good against yours, wouldn't it be nice if the rival's pokemon was randomly decided after you picked yours?

I actually wouldn't like that, the rivals always pick the starter that is good against yours because this forces the player to use some strategy, i.e. capture new pokemon that are good against your rival, or learn new moves that are good against your rivals Pokemon. And besides, there's no fun if it's too easy!

Froakie is awesome. I like all three though.

I'm pretty sure I'll choose Chespin :) It's a little difficult since I like both water & grass types but Chespin interests me more than the other two.

Because they're both foxes :3 imo it looks closer to Vulpix of the two though, and it's probably where Fennekin's evolution will head.

I'll go with Fennekin all the way though I can change my mind if I see those Evo's. :3

I don't know how I would feel if they changed the evolution formula for the starters. Adjusting the levels is one thing, but over complicating it or making it too specific would be an unnecessary change in my opinion. The starters, while considered rare and special, aren't supposed to be these overly complex Pokémon. They're supposed to be, in a sense, basic.

Plus, if current patterns remain, then if one were to evolve their starter too soon with an evolutionary stone, then they may miss out on some pretty important moves learned at their prior stage.

i don't why, but every time i think about how every starter final evolution will, i most of the time see froaki's as a big wise and fat frogs like those in naruto.
i also saw a few fan made froaki's final evolution the same way.
what do you think about it if it will turn out this way?

I guess if it turned out that way I wouldn't be too surprised, although something interesting is if what if Froakie's final evolution is down on all fours, as opposed to be standing, as we'd likely suspect. I mean I'm sure there's frogs like that...?

Fennekin <3, the best. I think that be my decision

On that note though, I do somewhat wonder how believable the evolutions will be, and how we'll get told them. Will we get fan outrage and leaked at the last minute again??

Chespin or Fennekin. I always picked the water type starter but this frog is strange.

Fennekin, simply because I like foxes. Even though I think the others look slighty better, I hope Fennekin is going to have some awesome evolutions. If they turn out ugly, my second choice would be Chespin.

See idk about that. given how long we've waited for information NOW, the evolutions could come soon, or at least in a few months before so people have full time to prepare for which one they want.

Froakie as I normally start with the water ones.. names are a bit rubbish, what on gods earth are the legendary's called? LOL.
