Pokémon X and Y Fan Community

In this topic, discuss what you believe the TYPES of the final evolutions of the starter pokemon will be (and what they may look like in your opinion), and the typing for the new cover legends.

I honestly think the legends are amazing.. amazing Pokemon.... Just true beauties honestly...

Now for types... That is a true mystery.... Wow..

I mean it's a given it is a flying type.. But perhaps it's so predictable it won't be a Flying type, much like Lugia for a good example..

My initial thought was it being partially Dark.. Maybe fire as well.. Maybe even Psychic.. I'm hoping it isn't a Dragon type though xP

Now this guy is just BEAUTIFUL!!

I'm definitely thinking Psychic.. And it would be nice for the other one to be Dark, cuz it's a good contrast imo..

You know, maybe Steel?

Ok so final choices that I think are best imo...

Dark/Dragon

Psychic/Steel

The X Pokemon is really elegant, I love it, and it it very Arceus reminicent.

I like the Steel prediction because it looks like a very refined Dialga in terms of color and design. Steel/Psychic would be very menacing as an uber, it's not an original type combo, but effectively very good competitively speaking.

The Y Pokemon, that one looks very cool, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Fighting/Flying, that would be really unique.

I am glad that for a refreshment to the series, the main cover legends aren;t dragon pokemon (or obvious dragons), it would bring more variety among them.

In terms of the starters, I'm hoping for Fire/Dark, Water/Poison, and Grass...not too sure yet, maybe Grass/Fighting.

I really dont know how to predict the starters.. We NEVER thought Tepig would end up Fire/Fighting just with that one form.. Or think of Mudkip being Water/Ground, or Charmander being Fire/Flying.. xDD

But I'll say:
-Grass/Ground or Grass/Fighting
-Fire/Ground or Fire/Psychic
-Water/Ice or Water/Fighting

idno... haha

As for X and Y Pokemon.. I still like my thoughts.. xDD I also kind of see them as life and death.. So Dark/Dragon for Death and Psychic/Steel for Life make sense to me xD

And I dont think in competitive terms.. Just how they look and how I would like them to be haha

Y-Psychic/Dark
X-Psychic/Steel
Grass Final-Grass/Rock
Fire Final-Fire/Psychic
Water Final-Water/Poison

I'm kind of with Richie, I think Fennekin will end up being part Psychic.

The Y one is so awesome looking, but X has such an elegance to it.

X: Steel/Psychic
Y: Fire/Flying
Grass Final-Grass/ground
Fire Final-Fire/Psychic
Water Final: Water/Poison

The X one looks like a Sawsbuck evo combined with Virizion.

I think Y-guy might be Dark and Flying.

X-dude could be Ground, Grass, Normal, Psychic, lots of choices there I think.

In the video the starters moves might be an indication of what types they become.

Yveltal looks Dark/Dragon to me.

Considering Xerneas has a kind of musketeer look I assume it'd be Fighting/Psychic, if not, Psychic/Steel

Chespin Final - Grass/Rock or Grass/Fighting
Fennekin Final - Pure Fire
Froakie Final - Pure Water or Water/Poison

maybe Xerneas will lead the musketeers from gen 5 :P like Lugia leading the birds and Regigigas leading the regis all from previous gen :P

Then who will Eviltail lead? Will he lead Leaders like Lugia and Ho-oh? If so, it'd make sense if he were Dark/Flying. :O

Technically, Keldeo is supposed to be the "Triomaster" of the muskedeers

Had an idea. Froakie somewhat looks like it has a cloud on it's shoulders, right? Maybe it evolves to become a raincloud or thundercloud frog. Water/Flying, Water/Ghost, or Water/Electric maybe?

he's not really the triomaster, he's the apprentice.  Cobalion was in charge of their group.  But another guy ahead of them would be awesome to tie it into the plots more.

Guys did you notice that Chespin is the first possibly mammalian Grass starter :D

Oh, your right. xD That's pretty cool.

Chespin: Grass/Dark
Fennekin: Fire/Psychic

Not sure about Froakie
I'll get back to you on that

What if it turns out we're all retards and it's like this.

Chespin - Water / Rock
Fennekin - Grass / Bug
Froakie - Fire / Ground

Eviltail - Fighting / Psychic
Xerneas - Dark / Ghost

Eviltail
Omfg

I would have to rage quit, and never play these games.

What if the other Pokemon are awesome?

xD

I'd probably just name my starter HAX then dump him in the Pc for eternity.

His tail is a fucking CLAWED HAND!!

I'd trade you a Bidoof for it. I know how much you love them.

IT WILL GRAB YOU AND TAKE YOU TO IT'S NEST OF EVIILLLLLLLL

I did get a Shiftry vibe from Chespin.

I'm still liking Fire/Dark for Fennekin's final evo, it kind of gave me that Zorua feel.

I noticed other people did as well... hmmm

Fennekin line would include Fire/Psychic, because it used a psychic-looking attack in the trailer.
Froakie maybe Water/Poision, Water/Ice [That scarf thing might be snow] or Pure Water
Chespin pure grass, Grass ground or Grass Dark.

The Y pokemon for sure looks like a dark type imo. Those black accents.
The X Pokemon might be psychic, I get that feel from its wavy mane/antler thing.

Maybe Flying/Dark [Y] and Ground/Psychic [X]

Yveltal would then have two immunities to Xerneas. I don't think they would do that.

Maybe Psychic/Steel for Xerneas. At least it would be a Mawile/Sableye thing where one has better resistance with the other having better immunities.

... Just with the weakness to Electric/Rock/Ice... Other having Ground/Fire...

... Just trying to make a point!

I think Chespin could either be pure Grass type or Grass/Ground, going from its colouration.
Fennekin doesn't look like it could be another Fire/Fighting type, but you never know.. Someone said how no-one expected Tepig to become Fire/Fighting.
No idea about Froakie though... Possibly just Water type.

Would also be interesting if the starters didn't have a second type as they get to their final stages, and just stayed as the basic Grass/Fire/Water attributes.

As for the Legendaries, the red has to be like ground/fire atleast, maybe even flying too. The other blue one though i'm not sure. Its blue so water, maybe?

Yea that was me about Fennekin... I'm really hoping it isn't Fire Fighting.. It's just so ugh now.. xP

I do like the idea of the Two Type Combos Trios put together..

Grass/Dark
Fire/Psychic
Water/Fighting

I would be perfectly fine with that.. =D I can see Chespin as either Grass/Dark or Grass/Ground.. I like Grass/Ground more though.. And Froakie was the hardest of the three to think of a dual typing, if there is one..

I'm leaning more towards Grass/Ground for Chespin, and plain water for Froakie. when i look at Fennekin i think that it'll be a type that we wont expect, like steel or rock lol.

hmmmmmm....

Look at its in-game coloring too, kinda icy.
Then agian
Nearly every water type can learn ice beam or blizzard

It's common for water types to know Ice type attacks.

Really want Froakie's scarf to turn into a Thundercloud eventually ',:D

Interesting finding:

I saw something like this earlier, it is another possibility

Its interesting to see all the theories that are circulating only a few days after it was announced =D

Bleeeeh... Boring.

They're likely to change as they evolve.

They're probably gonna change.

Then we can expect the 4th Fire/Fighting combo.

Unless the move it used in the trailer was a Psychic Type move, I guess we'll have a better version of Ninetails (barring ability).

they are always like that though except for Bulbasaur back when grass types were pretty much paired with poison or bug most of the time.  But it's been that way for for gens now.  The evolutions will be different probably unless they pull another gen 2.

I believe these is what the legends will be (http://24.media.tumblr.com/874813ae058058b34465b42900108b92/tumblr_mgiswkezbL1rk1zhmo1_500.png)

It's far too late for new types without ruining compatability and overhauling it all, especially with Sound and Light being the most unlikely (keep in mind Dark type is Evil Type in Japan, so Light won't be a counterpart to anything).  Plus those theories stretch things a bit far.  There isn't really a connection to sound and I think those points just use coincidence to grasp at it.  I think if new types were to exist, there wouldn't be those two because they would have existed by now if they had an intention of having them.  Some people want those types but I think just wanting something so much you try to make connections that aren't there, is just a bit iffy.  Plus that doesn't really connect to the DNA thing which seems to be the possibility.

I'm gonna subscribe to a theory of how it's like the Norse thing with Yggdrassil.  Xerneus is the stags at the base and Yveltal is the bird at the top.  The Z could be the serpent in the middle.  How it connects to the DNA, I'm not sure but it doesnt contradict it either so it's fine.

It see your point but you never know what nintendo will do. I think light is more likely then sound. Also there is the normal type which counters nothing.  I like the theory of them representing the land, sea and air to. I'd say it is a 50/50 chance of this happening. Also i didn't make this my self, i found it on another site.

First 2nd stage evolution that I've seen; I like them

more people in general need to care about that stage
after all you do have them in game for quite a while, longer than the basic stage.

If chespins evo looks like that, I'm picking chespin.

that is pretty cool yeah

I'd be okay with designs like these. And yeah, people usually only care about the first and final stages rather than the one in between, which I think isn't really fair. As said before, you have them for quite a while in the game, plus it gives you a preview of what the final evolution looks like because it's the stage that connects all three of them together. Plus, it'll tell you what the secondary typing is if they get one. ;D

That is what i always think

Those are actually really good.

And I'm with Aryeh, I always thought more attention should go into the middle stage.

indeed ^^
in fact I kind of like Monferno even though I dont like Infernape

Chespin: Grass/Dark
Fennekin (sp): Fire/Psychic
Froakie: Water/Fighting
Nymphali (sp): More powerful normal or flying
X: Steel/Psychic
Eviltail: Dark/Dragon

Right :)

And Xerneas is Fairy

I'm assuming that Fairy and Dark will be neutral against each other as to not have one be good over the other (then again, Kyogre v Groudon)

In terms of Fairy vs Dark, we saw Gardevoir use Fairy Wind vs Hydreigon. Fairy Wind honestly did not do that much damage to Hydreigon, so either I'm assuming that Hydreigon is just 2x weak to Fairy instead of 4x or Fairy Wind is probably a really underpowered move.

yay my initial guess got it :D
for Xerneas, my guesses where before the whole fairy thing so obviously I wouldn't have known that :P

perhaps fairy and dark beat eachother
