[Kuro]

I've never really named pkmn this may be the first I do. Heard its also a goof way to throw people off in online battling lol.

[Sylar]

Some guys have been looking into the 3 new starters with some detailed speculation i guess you could say!

i found it interesting anyway

Chespin

Chespin is the newest, distinctly chipper member of the Grass family of Pokémon, and the first of the starters shown in the trailer. From the moment we saw his paws, clawed feet, and strange headwear, we knew there was something different about this guy. Chespin is clearly a mammal, setting him apart from the overwhelming majority of Grass type Pokémon that take inspiration from reptiles and/or vegetation. It's also worth noting that Nintendo's names for Chespin in other languages all have a connotation of chestnuts and/or hedgehogs, which explains much of his appearance..
Whatever his strange lineage, Chespin still wears some of the telltale green associated with his Pokémon type, something you can see goes from his head, down his back, all the way to the base of his tail. After seeing the sharp claws on his feet, we wonder if his moveset will mix plant attacks with cutting moves like Slash, or perhaps he’ll use his nails for Dig.

Fennekin

We’ve always been partial to the Fire starters, from Charmander all the way up to Tepig, so we took an immediate shine to Fennekin. And judging by the reaction from fans online, the character seems to be an early favorite with artists in the community as well. As to Fennekin’s pedigree, ancient Japanese folklore involving mythical foxes commanding fire was no doubt a source of inspiration. But what makes this starter any different from classic pocket monsters like Ninetails and Vulpix?
What most separates Fennekin from the pack is the type of fox it resembles, as the little guy seems to be based on a fennec fox. The diminutive creatures are known for their adorably large ears. Plus, they make their homes in deserts, which fits well with Fire Pokémon’s traditional weakness to Water attacks. And based on that desert background, perhaps Fennekin will mix up its blazing arsenal with moves like Sandstorm and Sand Tomb

Froakie

The final starter announced in the trailer was Froakie, and on the surface, he seems to be the most predictable of the three. His predominant coloring is blue, and he’s unmistakably based on an aquatic species, so we knew he was a Water type the second we saw him. Sure, being obvious doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a bad Pokémon, But there are a few key aspects that set this amphibian apart from the likes of Mudkip or Politoad.
Well, there’s the possibility that he might have some strong physical attributes built around his source material’s hopping abilities. There’s also the chance he might know some new foam attacks, as indicated by the weird, sudsy stuff around his neck... Hmm, we’re still coming up short on reasons to pick him over the other two, but we’re going to wait for more details on the guy before we make up our minds.

[Kuro]

I hope there final forms look cool!
Hoping that Fen is a fire/psychic been to many fire/fighting.
Overall I just hope they mix up the types.

[Chille]

I think chespin will lose more and more of the green as he evolves, as he name can mean conker the green hood reminds me of the shell of a conker, so as it grows it will lose it.

[Kuro]

I imagined chespin evolving into an archor lol he kinda looks like one.

[Chille]

Hmm maybe lol I can picture some sort of chestnut lizard thing

[Sylar]

I'm just hoping froakie doesn't turn out to look like seismitoad

[Kuro]

He looks more like a chipmunk or squirrel to me mate lmao
Yeah Sylar wouldn't want that

[claud3]

do you think, if they do a Wii u version and this 3ds version will have some kind of link up for certain things

[Dave-The-Rave]

Chespin is definitely my favorite unless you couldn't tell.

I honestly don't get the interest in Fennekin, I always chose the fire starter but it just reminds me of Vulpix and its just a little to feminine for me...whereas Chespin looks like the joker of the bunch I can get on board with that.

[robvandam111]

It really sucks not finding pokemons excerpts from the show on Youtube. Most of the things I've been searching are AMVs...-_-

[Kuro]

I liked vulpix maybe that's the reason I like fennekin lol

[Chille]

I liked vulpix maybe that's the reason I like fennekin lol

I agree I love vulpix

[Kuro]

Really whys that?
