SLCFR: Frankenstein Chicken

I hope to dear God that this Froakie evo is real. It seems to match up with leaks and the artwork is Sugimori-esque.

 

I saw this today too. Froakie has been badass right from the start, so it's nice to see Game Freak didn't drop the ball with him. Fennekin's final evo there looks okay too actually.

Where the hell is Chespin's? That's the one I NEED to see. I had a feeling the others would look like that... but Chespin? That dude's a freakin' wildcard. For all we know, he'll turn into a god damn Beyblade.

 

Chespin is so deliciously unpredictable. I hope he breaks out of his shell and uses the pieces as dual shields or something.

But I've been on team Froakie from day one, while most others said he was ugly.
WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

 

I almost don't wanna evo my fennikin
but on the other hand I kinda do.
I'm sticking with my pick, unless the Mega-evo is something awful.

 

Oh yeah, Junichi Masuda said gen 6 Pokémon won't have Mega-Evos.

Also relevant.

 

...Yes.
(this is real)

 

Some people don't like it because it's just a second one
but I say
Look at dugtrio, or Magnatron, or that snowcone poke, or wheezeing, or the two/three headed bird types that walk.

 

Then it's a good thing that I'm not a fan of any of those!

 

That would be keeping with the suspected Knight/Paladin theme

 

And the Grass/Dark rumors.

 

If Chespin's final form does 'come outta its shell' & dual wield Shell Shields, & Chespin turn Grass/Dark, I wonder if the Shells will change shape to look like a certain iconic dark hero's symbol...?

 

I support this.

Edit: What if Quilladin uses a Honedge to evolve to its final form, just like Mantyke with Remoraid, to Mantine?

 

It'd be cool, but there's no way they'd do that with a starter. That would be too cruel.

 

Fixed.

But yeah, it's unlikely that would happen. It will probably be some badass knight with dual shields like people are saying because why the hell not? Can't say I've ever seen someone fight with two shields because frankly, it's kind of ridiculous. Then again, Chespin so far has proven to be kind of ridiculous. So, it works.

I have no idea how Grass/Dark would make any sense at that point though. Unless he's some "dark knight" like Axe is suggesting. I really do want that type, but if he just so happens to be Grass/Steel... I won't complain. At all.

 

Ouch @ firetypes.

 

That and Fighting. Which means he's the prey of Fire/Fighting types... but whatever. Aside from that, he has practically nothing to worry about.

See this guy?

He regularly tops usage statistics for competitive battling. People build teams around this thorny basterd. While it isn't everything, his typing is part of the reason he's so popular. Though, I'll admit his ability REALLY helps ward off possible counters.

That's not to say Chespin's final evo would be the next Ferrothorn - Ferrothorn has a lot more going for him than just his typing - but I think the typing would do a lot of good. Don't even get me started on how awesome it would be if he got to abuse STAB Bullet Punch... Can anyone say UU Scizor?* YEAH BABY!!

*Yeah yeah, I know, pure speculation. Just let me dream...

 

I'm guessing Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground, just going off the moves we've seen he can learn.

 

Clap that trap of yours, Magic Man! I don't want any mention of those dual typings.

Then again...

BOB here really is quite the badass. But he's a badass despite his awful typing (Rock/Grass). He's weak of Grass moves for crying out loud, and he is a god damn Grass type.

Then we have this guy.

I mean... look at him. He's so cool. But that typing. GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, that typing. Grass/Ground, even with his decent bulk, cannot take a hit from anything. Hell, we gave him Solid Rock - an ability that decreases the power of Super-Effective moves - in the mod to help make him useful. Nope.

Unless Chespin's final form is incredibly fast and hits hard, I don't want him to have either typings. Not that I'm suggesting you implied that you wanted those typings, but at least now you can see why I'm going to cry like when I was a little school girl if Chespin's final evo ends up with either of these typings.

 

Yes... sure... mhmm... makes total sense. I mean, if Squirtle doesn't get his Surf ability, what does he have? I mean.. come on. He also needs his sick shades, man. That's all Squirtle really has going for him.

OH YEAH GUYS remember that one Pokemon Firewaterlizardthing? I mean, come on. A Pokemon that's Water/Fire? I MEAN COME ON, GUYS!
