That's true.

Mega Mewtwo X is Psychic/Fighting typing, receiving the Steadfast ability (Revealed today). Mega Mewtwo Y is Psychic and learns Hypnosis (Revealed two months ago).

Interestingly they have yet to show a Mega of a Generation V Pokémon...I want to see one to prove that Megas aren't exclusive to the Japan based generations...

On Serebii they state the new form is Mega Mewtwo X, so I assume that will be the exclusive for X.

Yes, I get that Baby looking Mewtwo :] I love the Mega!Mewtwo Y design for some reason, it looks like something you can just hug and cuddle :3

The Poodle is our Deerling of 6th generation? Seems cool. While looking at the picture of the different colors: Return of the Season system confirmed.

Also, anyone noticed this?

The fossils look quite cute...and they usually aren't very cute. But it is a nice change of pace. Wonder how their evolutions will look...

Come on! I really want o see the starters evos!

blue September 11th, 2013 3:15 AM

It's great how we can tailor our looks to how we want them -- to an extent ofc, but also the fact that you can change in-game in a Salon is just another nifty little addition.

swift13 September 11th, 2013 3:16 AM

did they reveal how the starter evos look like or did they just talk about it?

I wonder what's with the twig on Fennekin's evolution's tail? Did Serebii get confused on that one and meant to say Chespin's evolution has the twig?

Whereas Deerling alters its look due to the change of seasons, the new poodle only changes its look when the trainer sends it for a "trimming." So I wouldn't go as far as saying that the seasons have returned, although, I really hope it does.

Full on character customization is what I like to hear though!

SkyRyder September 11th, 2013 3:23 AM

The starter evolutions have been leaked! I really, really love Fennekin and Froakie's evolution. MUCH better than the fan art I've seen. Chespin's, on the other hand... well. It's not that bad, but I'm kind of happy I went with Froakie.

blue September 11th, 2013 4:13 AM

Starter evolutionsssss
http://www.serebii.net/corocoro9139.jpg

Fennekin = Looks very elegant, quite happy with how it's turned out so far and I'm glad it's not Fire/Fighting... yet.
Froakie = I really like it tbh, this changes my opinion on Froakie a lot now.
Chespin = Strange yet cute.

ilias_ September 11th, 2013 4:14 AM

I couldn't help it so I looked at the starters middle evolutions! haha I really love Fennekin's and Froakie's. I can't choose. omg...

toxictwinkie September 11th, 2013 4:16 AM

Thank god they are middle evos so I can tolerate this.....to an extent as they are not the final evolutions. Game Freak...what happened??

Hiatus September 11th, 2013 4:18 AM

To me, Garchomp's Mega form seems to be a little shorter than its original form. Plus, the sides of its chest and belly are kind of... weird-looking. I'm still a fan of it, though! I don't know what parts of its stats get changed when it MegaEvolves, but I'm guessing it could be Attack and Speed. Mewtwo's second form is totally amazing. It reminds me a lot about Freeza from Dragon Ball Z, haha. The starter evolutions look quite nice, but Chespin's evolution looks a lot similar to Pignite. Also, that blue dinosaur Pokémon is absolutely adorable! I wonder how it looks when it actually evolves?

moon September 11th, 2013 4:19 AM

I always liked Froakie, and now even more so. But why won't they make it dual type :( They should.

I never was a big fan of Fennekin but its evolution actually redeems it a bit. It looks fragile, haha, but also kind of cool.

But what did they do to Chespin, oh no. They turned that cute rodent into a ball with a too big nose. If I had the game today, I would no longer pick Chespin :/ Unless its final evolution looks a lot better, haha. So it's not Grass/Ground but learns a Ground move?

And Teerunaa learns a Psychic attack but remains Fire only, and Bounce is a Flying type move that Gekogashira learns? Hmmm. There is still hope! Flying, Ground and Psychic as dual types for the final evos. I cross my fingers.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 11th, 2013 4:19 AM

I love Fennikin and Froakie's evolutions...if I ever play again I may get Froakie actually that's how much it changed my opinion. Now chespin's...it looks weird...I hope it's final evolution looks better. Also I see the stick on Fennekin's tail becoming torch in it's final evolutions.

So flare true goal is to create a beautiful world, interesting, wonder how it will effect the plot

Guy September 11th, 2013 4:20 AM

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

Chespin what happened? You became bloated and turned into Pignite 2.0. I'm really hoping its final evolution impresses, because right now I'm disappointed. On the other hand, Fennekin's and Froakie's evolutions are great. Still wish Fennekin's evolution stayed on all fours though and I'm considering using Froakie as my starter instead of Chespin.

Also worth noting, Parting Shot, Geomancy, and Oblivion Wing have changed to unknown types (???) whereas Geomancy was released to be a Fairy-type move before and Oblivian Wing a Dark-type move. What do you think this means?

A torch, that wouldn't be so bad. Though I wished Fennikin wasn't bipedal....

WildEagle September 11th, 2013 4:22 AM

For some weird reason chespin's evo reminds me of a Piñata

Hikamaru September 11th, 2013 4:22 AM

I'm actually very fond of these designs, way better than that fake leak I saw. Fennekin's is looking to be the best so far, but Froakie's looks kinda cool too so I'm glad my beloved Froakie got a good-looking evolution. Chespin's evolution however looks like a Grass-type Pignite going by appearance but I did guess it would be the bulky tank of the trio.

Still, I'm going with Froakie on my first playthrough! Although I might be a bit sorry for the Chespin fans who got disappointed. Fennekin's evo might be continuing the biped Fire-type starter tradition but it's definitely unlikely to be part-Fighting.

Looks like Shivi was disappointed, but yeah opinions can change when evolved forms are revealed. I'm still wondering if this would impact some others on what their starter choices would be?

Bluerang1 September 11th, 2013 4:24 AM

Well they ruined Chespin. Eww at quadrupled Fennekin, better not be Fire/Fighting again. I like the witch theory though. Poor Froakie got more meh.

Meowstick looks much better than was described!

BeefTaco September 11th, 2013 4:27 AM

Froakie evo looks even better than I expected, he is slim and pretty cool looking. Fennekin looks good too, why a stick in its tail tho? Chespin Evo is dissapointing but there's still a chance for the final evo to look good.

Maybe it's a mistake? I don't think they'll change their types...maybe they forgot they already release their types and put them down as ??? {XD}

@ Bluerang Quadrupled? Don't you mean bipedal? Well it's not so far, that's good :3
I like Froakie better now. Chespin...wonder what they're going to do with the little guy...I expect it's final evolution though to surprise us...

moon September 11th, 2013 4:28 AM

Haha, the stick on Teerunaa's tail is pretty weird xD And I agree with you on Hariboogu, Shivi ;; But Gekogashira is smexy. Froakie's line is turning into my fav water evo line, if the final stage tops Empoleon. We'll see. And also I like bipedal pokémon better, so Teerunaa didn't disappoint me with suddenly standing up ^^ This middle trio looks pretty okay on the whole.

As for the Mewtwo forms, whaaaat haha. The fighting form reminds me even more than before of this. Maybe that's their secret goal though...

Eruption September 11th, 2013 4:29 AM

Thank god for Mega Mewtwo X. The original mega form looked terrible and inferior to the original Mewtwo, but this new one looks pretty cool. I was going to get X already so this is great. My second favourite pokémon is saved.

Unless there is a major turn around in the final forms, Fennekin is still the starter for me, it has the best evolution.

Chigorasu has a great design, I'm liking that. The other new ones are all pretty meh though.

One month, I'm so excited now.

Marshtomp looks good compared to Pignite and chubby Chespin...not like I ever disliked Marshtomp, it's one of the best middle evolutions imo.

I see Chespin surprising us...it'll proably grow spikes when evolving and look like a giant porcupine...

Treecko September 11th, 2013 4:35 AM

Chespin...what happened? It looks like it ate a bunch of acorns and got really fat. Though it looks bulky so

Fennekin's is really elegant. A bit feminine, but I like it. The stick is kind of random, but it could be a wand. I'm liking the witch theory. If it become Fire/Psychic as the supposed leaks state, that makes more sense.

Froakie's evo is cool too. If it's final is better than Fennekin's then I may covert to Team Froakie. So far still going with Fennekin, unless their final evos change my mind. If Chespin's evo ends up being cool, I may have a hard time deciding again.

Bluerang1 September 11th, 2013 4:35 AM

But what does GF have against quadrupled Final Evos for Fire Starters?? Urgh.

I can see Froakie's being Water/Poison. Sidenote.

That would make it a bit similar to Croagunk/Toxicroak. But then again, pokémon being similar to one another has never stopped GameFreak xD

blue September 11th, 2013 4:37 AM

I don't think this rules out the final Starter Evolutions being dual-typed, bear in mind that this is just the first staged evolutions... I'm still convinced that with all those Psychic type moves Fennekin will hopefully become Fire/Psychic!

Type Chart!!!

And dont worry if Chespin's Final Evo is indeed dark(which is likely the case)is gonna be awesome like every other dark type!Also most middle stage evos are not beautifull like Marshtomp,Combusken,Wartortle

I see the stick as being where it's concentrating it's (as of it's middle form) limited psychic powers, sort of like a focus point. However the placement is odd {XD} Would've liked it to be in hand.

I think Chespin's evolution will look like a cool porcupine and surprise us all of this lack luster middle evolution.

It might still end up being quadrupled, in the same vein as Samurott is.

I'm a little disappointed with the designs. Froakie's looks the best to me, but the other two... I'm not so sure I like. Granted, I'm never really fond of the middle evolutions, so I'll keep judgement until I see the final forms.

Mewtwo's second mega-evo is weird looking to me, but maybe it'll appeal to me eventually. Right now, I prefer the smaller forme. Garchomp doesn't look too bad and seems like a natural progression.

Absolutely love the Psychic Cat Pokemon, awesome designs all the way. Interested in the changing appearance of the dog Pokemon. The Fossils look pretty cool too.

moon September 11th, 2013 4:42 AM

Fairy type is immune to Dragon attacks. Interesting. And Steel no longer resists Dark and Ghost attacks. Steel is so annoying that's a relief :B except for heavy Steel users perhaps? I shouldn't be talking, I'm not competitively knowledgeable haha.

I find it much more appealing that its prop is in its tail rather than its hand. Pokemon with props in general tend to annoy me, but this is done in a manner that seems reasonable. I like that.

SkyRyder September 11th, 2013 4:44 AM

To add on to the starters, I did notice that the second forms tend to be the least factoring in terms of appearance. I mean, Servine went from having legs and arms to being a full-blown snake. I can imagine Chespin's second evolution to either break out of its "shell", or retain it and become even more bulkier. All I'm thinking of is pushing that thing and watching it struggle to get back up.

I hope that dual-typed moves won't exist. Either that or just give it to a few moves... I can see it complicating the game even more.

Lastly, Dark/Ghost now has a weakness: Fairy. Eelektross is now the only Pokemon with no weaknesses. (that is, without anything affecting its Levitate ability)

Also, Team Froakie has won.

blue September 11th, 2013 4:45 AM

The new type chart certainly works in favor of Poison and Steel types, they've been long overdue for an extra type advantage.

I'm the same. I thought I was the only one. I also hate how in the anime how some pokemon got props, like septiles staw thing and Krokorok sunglasses. Man that annoyed the me so much.

It does work. I would've liked it even better if it had a small mysterious flame on top of it. Maybe in it's evolution ;).
And yeah Fennikin's line could go back on all fours for all we know like Samurrot did.

I think a flame might show up there, and if it ends up being Psychic too, maybe we'll get a different colored flame than previous Fire starters. That'd be pretty cool in my eyes.

Hikamaru September 11th, 2013 4:50 AM

I have to say, that Psychic-type cat Pokemon looks very interesting. Having gender differences in not only appearance, but learned moves as well. Definitely a first from Game Freak there, but I guess this might confirm the "Espurr and Meowstick" rumor from Pokebeach as true.

And I like how that dog thing can change appearance based on the salon thing, very interesting concept indeed.

The fossil Pokemon look awesome too, especially the fact they used previously unused type combinations for them. Rock/Dragon looks pretty awesome, it might be pretty good competitively. Although Rock/Ice isn't all that great due to 4x Fighting and Steel weaknesses (yes we finally have a Pokemon 4x to Steel) but still the designs are great.

toxictwinkie September 11th, 2013 4:53 AM

I'm imagining a green flame or blue flame. Green is associated with ever lasting flames (Greek fire) while blue flames fit in with the fox theme. None the less both are mystical looking.

I'm glad we finally got our long awaited T-rex fossil Pokémon. I've been waiting for one since Gen IV.

Steel types no longer resist Dark or Ghost type moves, but it does have a resistance against Fairy types. Fairy type is also weak to Steel (as well as Poison).

Hiatus September 11th, 2013 4:56 AM

I'm expecting Chespin's evolution to be a combination of grass and fighting, since it looks like some sort of a fighter to me. Either that, or due to its bulk, it could turn out to be grass and ground. Fennekin's evolution could be fire/dark. It could be fire and psychic, too, since it's able to learn psychic-type moves according to rumors. I'm not too sure about Froakie's evolution, though. It could be water and rock, but we have a lot of Pokémon with this combination already.

Ya, I know. Was wondering of additional changes. XD Thanks though

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 11th, 2013 5:03 AM

You know at first I wasn't too keen on them changing steel's resistances but now that I look at the chart I realize that Steel would've only received neutral damage from 3 types...besides it being resistant to Dark didn't make all that much sense...

After seeing middle-evos I expect Chespin's last evo to look like Totoro lol.
I don't understand why people say Fennekin's middle evo looks good. Looks so tacky and ugly to me. The skinny arms and black bottom just ruin it for me. Froakie is the only decent one tbh.

Also Mega Mewtwo X is probably the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life..

On a slightly more positive note I love all the new Pokemon. I even love Garchomp's mega-evo bar it being OP as hell already.

Could this be the debut of the rumored dual type moves? I mean I could see how something like Oblivion Wing could easily be both Dark and Flying.

I'm glad we finally got our long awaited T-rex fossil Pokémon. I've been waiting for one since Gen IV.

Same here, the typing isn't the best but still it is a Dragon type.

Well I'm glad Meowstick finally came to light, that was one of the rumors I was hoping that would turn out to be true. It's a little different to how I pictured it but nonetheless I think it definitely has my final spot on my team, it looks marvelous!

And Geomancy could be both Fairy and Ground type (Geo means earth so it'll make sense, could also be Rock type). Don't know about Parting Shot though...Fighting and Dark?
I hope it's not true but a lot of the rumors have been true though with some flaws in them.

I want to have one too...may replace Talonflame with it later down the road.

bobandbill September 11th, 2013 5:10 AM

Froakie shot up the list for me - I quite like its middle evolution. I am not very partial to Chespin's one (sorta looks like it swallowed a balloon there =p), while Fennekin's evolution is decent. Initially a touch eh about hearing it being a bipedal (another fire starter that is one?), but some more Psychic moves and the appearance of a sort of fox-witch is pretty neat as a concept, imo. And it's something different!

Meanwhile, I really like that T-rex Pokemon. Other fossil one is cool too, but dat T-rex. Helps I loved dinosaurs as a kid too, haha.

Decimosoma September 11th, 2013 5:16 AM

Inbefore fanart of Chespin where he goes Hardcore in Goku style with his Pokéblocks. :LLL

Anyways I almost freaked out when I saw Fennekin's design. Good thing that there are no Fighting movesets confirmed only Psychic movesets.

I thought that too when I first saw it...that or Chespin itself swallowed a bunch of helium to become a living balloon {XD}

I hope the T-rex evolves into a fearsome twenty foot T-Rex. It looks small as it is right now.

jellotime91 September 11th, 2013 5:22 AM

If they end up all being single-type I am going to be very disappointed. Single-type Pokemon are such a freaking waste, especially on a starter. I need that STAB!

The designs are very weird to me. Chespin's looks really stupid. And judging by his face, I don't think we'll be getting a dark/grass final in the end. Unless this is meant to be a "cocoon" stage like with bugs and pseudos.

Fennekin's looks good, but what is up with that stick coming out of its tail? It just looks creepy.. I really hope the final evolution doesn't have more sticks or something. And I was hoping it would stay a quadruped!!! ... -_- It kind of feels like good fanart that I just don't agree with.

Froakie's....... Looks so ugly. I'm sure I'll warm up to it, but from this artwork it just looks bad and weird.

A witch fox?! Yes please.

Froakie doesn't seem like it'll turn into a fat toad and it looks like a ninja!

Now it's gonna be hard for my pokemon x and y team, I really hope that a lot of the pokemon we have seen before get evos, they seem to have a lot of potential such as litleo and helioptile for example. Oh and these are just the middle stages!

kevcrash September 11th, 2013 5:27 AM

Crap Froakie's evolution looks the best out of the three! I was gonna pick Chespin but now I don't know for certain :c As for the fossils, I like the Ice type one (I just like Ice types) it's so cute!! Lastly, Mega Mewtwo X looks so badass so good job Game Freak.

Oh and shout out to Posion getting the buff this time around, it was long awaited.

According where they're based off from, it's quite possible that Fennekin will be a sorceress-like Fox, Froakie Ninja-like and Chespin some sort of armored knight or rather some sort of buffed up dude that can take a hit.

Considering the rumors that have come true I'm confident of them all being dual type like the sinnoh starters were.

Good fanart can help change an opinion on a Pokemon. =p

That stick? I could see it becoming a staff when it evolves again, which'd be fitting for a witch-like Pokemon. (So I guess it being creepy is also intentional). I agree with the quadruped deal, but oh well - as long as it's still going in a different direction to FIRE-FIGHTING again. I have a feeling it may get a Psychic typing on its final evolution too.

I'll also note that often the last stage can really sway one's opinion of a line. Look no further than last gen's starters. 'Snivy is so cool smugleaf haha', oshawott is dumb'. Then Snivy lost all limbs, Tepig joined the fire department and Oshawott got a very cool 2nd stage and a neat final stage form too.

Iceshadow3317 September 11th, 2013 5:36 AM

I like all three evos of the starters, but we can't really tell till we see the finals. I really like Froakie's evo. I think it is the best for me, right now. If Chesepin turns into a knight the I will be freakin happy.

I really love the new Mewtwo form. And again it comes with X version, which is the version I am getting. I also love Mega Garchomp.

Another thing I am happy to get is the Ice/Rock Fossil. I am not a big fan of the Dragon/Rock at the moment. I think it should of been dark just looking at the color of it.

I actually like the design of the Psy cat. It doesn't look like a cat and it very unique to me.


Btw, that stick will probably turn into a staff in Fennekin's last form

billyjoseph September 11th, 2013 5:37 AM

Disappointed with all 3 starter evo's TBH

Kyrul September 11th, 2013 5:38 AM

Yup, the Froakie race is still the master race.

I imagine chespin as porcupine with spiky armor. Fennekin's to be a witch fox, and Fennekin to be a frog ninja.
Based off their looks I'm assuming Chespin will indeed be defensive, Fennekin to be special attack, and Froakie to be fast and a mix attacker.

So the stick grows out of its tail, and then it's going to carry the stick around? Eugfughufghufghufg it sounds like poop. I'm very confused by this design right now. And it had better be Fire/Psychic.... >:[

I really hope so.

I'm assuming Fennekin's evolution will use the stick in it's hand and simply uses the tail to keep the stick when it isn't using it (as it has no place to put it).

Yeah I knew Froakie was going to get more fans after this reveal, but it seems like Chespin might be losing some fans unless the final stage turns out great. I like how they're making Froakie's line more distinctive from the past frogs, which were usually bulky-looking.

Fennekin's evo might probably use that stick as a wand or something, definitely raising hopes the final stage is Fire/Psychic. Chespin's one could be still bulky in the final stage or maybe get loads of spikes. I'm hoping it gets like a Grass/Rock evolution or even pure-Grass, I don't want Grass/Dark now that it's confirmed to have 7 weaknesses.

But still, yeah gotta love the justice they did to my beloved Froakie!

The stick poking out of the tail makes it look like a witches broom to me so i am hoping when it evolves it either sits on it like it is a witch or the tail detaches and it holds it

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 11th, 2013 5:51 AM

I was expecting more Mega Evolutions than MegaMewtwo X and MegaGarchomp...or is there still more left of this issue of corocoro?

Iceshadow3317 September 11th, 2013 5:53 AM

I am almost certain Fennikin will be Fire/Psy. It has learned about 3 or 4 Psy moves now. Psybeam, Psychic, and now Psycho Cut.

Iceshadow3317 September 11th, 2013 5:58 AM

One thing I am disappointed in is not getting any info on Oorotto again. I guess we will have to find out ourselves what it is.

I'm surprised they haven't introduced it yet officially. They even introduced the briefly seen poodle from the Pokémon Direct already...
Wonder if it may actually be an evolution of a past Pokémon...
Or maybe the official site will have info on it not seen in corocoro. Hopefully MegaDragonite and MegaSalamence will appear there.

Sceptile14 September 11th, 2013 6:06 AM

The fact that Fennekin learns yet another psychic type move basically confirms non fighting for me. Even though it is standing on its hind legs, it still looks mystical. Being Bipedal is good because it is much less similar to Ninetails now. Also, it's probably going to be a witch now which is awesome. My guess for the final evolution is fire/fairy.

I feel that people are jumping way too early on the hate train of certain Pokemon before they even see the final evolutions.

Sadly Chespin will likely end up being the least used by those buying the game upon release due to it's middle evolution as likely they won't reveal the final evolutions...unless there's a leak before the games come out that show them. Like on the 11th of October (next issue of corocoro could come out this day) which is before the official release.

In my case its actually the opposite, now I have even more interest about what he will evolve to.
He still have alot of potetial to evolve to something cool in my opinion

Seems kinda silly, and it still retains its cute appearance, so I guess you can say that I don't really see the big deal about it.

Well they didn't reveal the final evolutions of Unova officially until after the release...so it's possible they will do the same. And this time we don't have a leaker who provides pictures...

Spinosaurus September 11th, 2013 6:36 AM

They finally designed a T-Rex Pokemon, and about time too. Rock/Dragon is awesome.
But why is its counterpart...winking? Why would an Apatosaurus be WINKING? What the hell. And the cat Pokemon are terrible.

I spoiled myself for the starters. Sigh. Fortunately they aren't the final evolutions. But with this I can confirm Froakie is just one step closer to becoming a Globox.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc9ongUJNT1r6r4mpo1_400.png

EDIT: If the Apatosaurus evolved into a Argentinosaurus, then I can forgive the whole weird animal winking thing. Forget Wailord, how about largest dinosaur, which is actually bigger than a blue whale if I remember right?

Similarly, if not a T-Rex, the theropod Pokemon should turn into a Giganotosaurus!

Synerjee September 11th, 2013 6:39 AM

I am seriously loving both Fennekin's and Froakie's second evolutions. <333

Fennekin's looks really elegant, as everyone has stated. It also learns Psycho Cut! How awesome is that?! Even more evidence that its final evolution will turn out to be Fire/Psychic, which I'm really hoping it to be. Hoping that twig in its tail will come to some sort of use though, or else it would be a little weird.

Froakie's looks awesomely cool. Similar to AWsquared, my opinion on Froakie has changed a lot too because of this. It has that cool and calm demeanour and I am liking it a lot. Expecting a lot from it!

Chespin's, however......meh. I don't like it that much. It's too round. Looks like (quoting AWsquared again) it ate too much and fattened up. It still looks quite cute nonetheless. From the looks of it, it's going to end up quite a tanky Pokemon.

All in all, Team Fennekin and Team Froakie (seriously, I can't choose now!) FTW.

PlatinumDude September 11th, 2013 6:41 AM

Chespin's evo...wow, just wow. Its eyes look derpy to me, even though it gets more chestnut armor that covers its torso and lower body.

I like Froakie's middle evo the best; it just looks so sleek, slender and more frog-like. That build leans towards speed, IMO.

I'm on the fence with Fennekin's middle evo. I have no idea why there's a twig stuck on its tail, but I'm guessing that it uses it as a weapon to focus its Psychic powers?

Also, it's about freakin' time we had a Pokemon actually based on the T-Rex. Since it has the Hard Jaw ability, I'm hoping it gets the elemental fangs. The diplodocus' ability is quite interesting, to say the least; it's an improved Normalize, IMO. Too bad Rock/Ice is a terrible defensive type; it's going to be MASSIVELY weak to Vacuum Wave, Mach Punch and Bullet Punch, which are pretty much all over the place.

Mega Garchomp has Sand Force? This. Changes. Everything. While Garchomp can use Rough Skin (and Sand Veil to a lesser extent) pretty well, Sand Force is a good ability on it, even though it won't be able to use Choice Scarf to boost its Speed.

I'm indifferent towards the other new Pokemon, though.

HaphazardAsylum September 11th, 2013 6:43 AM

I don't see why chespins evo is getting so much flak i kinda like it myself
and i am pretty sure that it is meant to be similar to a metapod especially if it is inspired by chestnuts as they grow in a protective shell or whatever the technical term is.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't either lose the green part or at least have the shell open up a bit
