That would be cool. I can see that happening so, who knows! I think it would be really cool, actually.

[Suicune™]

It would be interesting to see how a Hedgehog Pokemon would change after two evolution stages, with only having one Hedgehog Pokemon (Shaymin) which has no other evolutions it would be something we haven't seen before. I can imagine it learning moves like Spike Cannon, Toxic Spikes etc.

It'd be nice if we didn't get so many legendary Pokémon this time around.

I think a Grass/Steel design for Chespin's evolution could come out to be really cool looking. Not so sure about having a double weakness against Fennekin (amongst other Fire-types) though.

[vaporeon7]

Grass/steel is great typing. Just look at Ferrothorn and how successful that is.

[Toujours]

Ferrothorn is so cooooool though.

I don't want Froakie to be Water/Ground. I mean it's already a frog like Seismitoad, it doesn't need the same typing as well.

[Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers]

Best thing would totally be to combine Grass/Fire/Water with Dark/Psychic/Fighting in some way. Preferably not with the fire starter being fighting. Again. A part fighting type Froakie line would be a bit similar to Poliwrath and its line though. Not that that's stopped Gamefreak before.

[Toujours]

For some reason I feel like it's been long enough since Poliwrath that it would be okay now. Maybe I just am biased cause I love Seismitoad/Gen V lol.

[Suicune™]

If they made Froakie Water/Ground type it would be too similar to Seismitoad in both appearance and typing. Water/Fighting seems best suited to it IMO unless it becomes pure Water.

[pokemonmasteraaron]

Maybe they will stay single typed. Johto did it and Johto is my favorite region. But I have a fealing that won't happen.

I think it'll be pure water, an extra fighting type screams Poliwrath.

[Legend Thriller]

I for one would love to have customizable feature in the beginning of the game for both male or female protagonist.

[Roswell]

Hey, Water/Fighting would be unique for starters, and we've only had two Water/Fighting Pokemon so far, compared to Arceus knows how many Dragon/Flying (or vice versa) and Normal/Flying (or vice versa; seriously, why can't they have a non-legendary pure Flying type) Pokemon we've had.

Still, I do agree that Froakie could end up pure Water. Idk, it just doesn't look like it could be a Fighting type XD (Then again, neither did Tepig or Torchic, but they turned into Fire/Fighting types anyhoo.)

I wouldn't mind another water/fighting type, just not another frog/tadpole of that type. Game Freak might really surprise us. Like with Piplup and steel.

[Sydian]

Froakie's final evos should be Water/Electric. ;) ...Unlikely I guess but it could be fun!

[Roswell]

Or maybe it could turn into a Poison Dart Frog and thus be Water/Poison? :B Idk, really XD; This idea's probably been brought up, but I'm too lazy to check.

That'd be a cool typing, I want that now. Good thinking Syd.

[Sydian]

I could see Poison/Water happening. OMG. What if it's Water/Flying? It looks cloudy idk.

[Suicune™]

I just can't see how it could turn into a Water/Flying from what it currently is.

Flying frog... wut?

It could be anything though, we haven't seen the evolved forms yet. It could antennae for all we know and be part bug.

[Sydian]

You call me crazy for thinking it could be a flying frog but guyssss



Zelda did it! lol Though what that is based on was also used in Pokemon for the Kami Trio, so it's probably unlikely, but I just wanted to show you that it is viable.

[GolurkIsDaBomb]

I was thinking water/flying too! If it did, it would be able to float using the bubbly stuff around its neck. I mean Altaria flies without moving its wings, so its not out of the realm of possibility?!

Fluffy Altaria!

Altaria moves its wings to fly though.

[Sydian]

omg don't bring altaria into this the fluff and the cute i just cannot right now ldjsaflsjroes

But yeah, they've already had fire foxes in the past, and they made Fennekin, so idk making another Pokemon based on the same thing Cyclos and Kami Trio comes from seems plausible at least. Final Froakie could be sitting on a cloud for all we know!

[Suicune™]

I can imagine it would need wings in order to fly and I can't see it developing wings... it's a frog.

[Pinkie-Dawn]

Chespin looks more like a Grass/Ground type than Grass/Steel because of the hedge/groundhog thing he's going for. As for Froakie, we've already covered the poison dart frog with Croagunk, and Seismitoad is actually a toad rather than a frog, so Water/Ground is more likely.
