I don't think it should be ground cause we already have a grass ground starter. It should keep its typing.
|
I don't think anybody cares but I have to say this.... I really don't think Water/Fighting is a particularly great typing
I men like, i gues it was okay pre gen6 but really, 5 weaknesses? i mean, grass flying fairy psychic electrc that is really too much. I'd also bring up how water is special and fight is physical but that's more of a trivial matter as I wanted a special water starter. Fire/Ground is a no as well. Just... how? no i dont get it. all it really does is fill in the gaps as 2 of the other types have ground typings. but even then, i guess all in all it wouldn't exactly destroy my chances of picking water, tbh. It could be possible that gen7 will give us abysmal fighters, to the point pickin the fighting starter is important. pls don't get me wrong, I don't hate fighters, i actaully really like them. I'm just tired of starters being part fighting, i think its possibly the most common part typing for starts. in all honesty, i'd say the most most suitable dual typing would be water/fairy, or maybe water/ice. But i don't really want fighting |
Have these types actually been confirmed true though? I know it was found through data mining on the official website, but does that necessarily mean that they are the final typing combinations?
|
I think they're real, mostly because I want my initial prediction of Popplio evolving into a 'strongman' to come true.
|
I believe it's going to turn out to be a grass/ground type, I know disappointing, but it makes sense from the native Hawaiian owls are burrowing owls (owls that dig holes) considering the region is based on Hawaii.
|
It should definitely stay Grass/Flying, but I also have a feeling it will end up Grass/Ground. :(
|
It's clearly going to be a fire/fighting type and Litten will become a grass/dark type!
|
I would be extremely disappointed if Rowlett turns out to be Grass/Ground. Hawaii also has flying owls, but that can't be something to go on.
If Rowlett is grass/ground, then that also means Litten will be Fire/Fighting.... yet again. |

I myself, don't agree with that order. But if people are going to use the logic that Rowlet is going to become Ground because of the order, then the same would be true for Litten. I myself am still holding out for Fire/Poison and Water/Fairy. Even though I wouldn't mind Water/Fighting. The order of the Icons were in this order Grass, Flying, Ground, Fire, Fighting, and Water. |

But if it become Grass/Ground, I wouldn't mind that much :K |
The thing to know is, aside from Torterra and Numel/Camerupt we have never had another Grass/Ground or Fire/Ground respectively so I wouldn't particularly call it "boring". And if Popplio's final evo is Water/Fighting it'll only be the third time we'll have that combo used, after Poliwrath and Keldeo.
|
Rowlet potentially becoming a Grass/Ground type certainly appeals to me; it's a rare and decent typing, regardless of whether it's "too similar" to Torterra. The possibility of having a speedy Earthquaker as a second evolution starter seems exciting! Perhaps Power Whip too. I'm just theorising whether Rowlet is a speedy physical attacker or not, but just feed her a Yache Berry if you're that worried about a revenge kill.

I'm holding out for a Fire/Dark Litten evo. I love Houndoom, but it's way too dependent on sun, for my tastes.

The alleged second stages for the starter Pokemon:
Spoiler:
Although they're probably fake I do actually really like all three of them. It would be great if these were real or if the actual second stages turned out to have similar designs. |

What I don't like with most of the fake starters is they are not really that original, they are mostly based on the current starters but bigger.

So I came across this article, and the user is explaining the final evolution for Rowlet may be based on a prehistoric owl called the Ornimegalonyx, which is related to the burrowing owl, and could explain the supposed Grass/Ground final evolution for Rowlet, while also fitting with the prehistoric theme that Grass-type starters seem to be connected to. Maybe those leaked "types" could be real after all, with a Grass/Ground final stage for Rowlet, a Water/Fighting final stage for Popplio, and a pure Fire stage for Litten. Interesting stuff to pick on is if the Popplio evo is Water/Fighting, it'll be our fifth consecutive Fighting-type final evo starter and only the third Water/Fighting Pokemon overall, along with giving us at least part-Fighting starter for each starter type. Grass/Ground is a type combination that's only currently held by one Pokemon (who is coincidentally Torterra, another final evo starter) and we haven't had a pure Fire final evo starter other than Typhlosion. |
Verlisify has noticed something from the new trailer that could indicate the size and length of the starters' evolutions.
Notice the question marks for their evolutions being placed in different heights, especially on Rowlet's line, which seem to go higher, making me doubt that it'll ditch the Flying typing for a Ground typing. |
