At least those rumors were plausible, and not stupid. Still not really buying adding new breeding aesthetics though. Seems like it would take up a lot of space for a feature that wouldn't be worth it. Then again, Gamefreaks surprised me before. I hope that Chespin is grass/steel though.

apparently fake but they're pretty cute. such a shame
A shame indeed. I really like the bird pokemon ._.

I'm all for Chespin being grass/steel as well, and even more so if the starters are based on European archetypes.
The skin thing is a neat idea, like poster said, but it would be really difficult to pull something off like that with 3D models. They managed well back in Gen 3 with Spinda, every Spinda you found had a different pattern and it had some crazy number of different possible patterns. BUT where I know it's completely not going to happen was the whole, "some pokemon would sport pikachu's red cheeks if the parent pokemon was a pikachu"
Yeah, no. That's not gonna happen, even if it was possible. I just can't see something like a Heatmor or Rhyperior sporting red/yellow cheeks just because their parent pokemon happened to be in the pikachu line. But again, the idea is really neat, but no way of it happening.
If any older pokemon get new evolutions I'll be happy. Some Gen 1 and 2 pokemon deserve some much needed evolutions.

The rumors were neat ideas. It would certainly give a really in-depth way of making your pokemon truly unique to your party.
Can't wait for some facts though. I wanna know more about that new way of connecting with people.

Same. I also want to know if you can customize your character. I've played as male trainers in past games because I was really not fond of some of the female trainer designs and I am really not liking the design for the female trainer in X & Y either.
Agh I know. I really like the bird.
I really hope they make a male equivalent to Kirlia, I always have loved the Ralts evolutions but I think the whole male Kirlia is weird.
Also they should add something new with your friends, like the letters. I always wanted to send them to my friends but it required so much work that in that time I could have just told them my message.
Customization, as said before, is really something I hope for. I have never been a fan of the male models excepting the models for Platinum and Black/White.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of that was true.
The cross-bred variations concept is really interesting. I'd love it if Pokemon were more unique in that way. But I can't help but think it may bring up complications.
The new region is being based off Europe (France specifically), and according to the article, the new starters would be based off medieval figures from Europe. Though Unova was based off of The United States of America, the starter finals were based off figures from ancient Asia, which is interesting.
I could honestly care less about the legendaries' typing, and I'm not too fond of the typings listed.

I think everyone is assuming too much when they say it'll be based mostly on France. The one town we got to see was based on Paris, but that's most likely as far as it will go, like they did with Unova and it's towns based on cities in the US.
As for the starters evolving.. that's as far a guess as anyone can do. If they weren't on the boxes, I doubt many people would have been able to guess what Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur would have evolved into, same with the other starters.
and as far as types go, they don't HAVE to follow a table. Even though this was before dual-types, the gen1 pokemon don't have exact strong/weak types against each other. Charizard being Fire/Flying, Venusaur being Grass/Poison, and Blastoise being pure water.
We could end up with any combination of types for the starters. I'm also not bothered with the legendaries either. I don't use them in battles.

Ah, ok. Sorry. c:
Also, according to the article, Chespin's evolution line will be based off a knights. And he's already wearing a little hat thing, so it could easily turn into a knight's helmet when it evolves.
I hope that one is true, because a chestnut knight could bring some very interesting designs.
Also if he's a knight... Maybe we'll be seeing a Grass/Steel starter evolution after all.

I love Chespin and all, but I don't know if I could handle the quadruple damage from fire. What's up with cool new steel-type knight Pokemon with double weaknesses?

Actually now that you bring up that point... maybe he'll be Grass/Rock. I mean what if that head cloth becomes like a stone helmet. I doubt they would give us a double loss. Idc that much though because for the first time ever I'm going to start with Fire. I have a feeling this one will be better that Gen 4 and 3 in the regard that it won't have super low health.
I am still hoping for something similar to this. So awesome. I was really disappointed with last gen's starter evolutions so these better be badass.

Official player character art has been leaked. They look a little young... but they still look kinda cool. I'm loving the long hair on the boy character. And his boots!! Hnngh. <3
Also, holy ****, a blonde trainer! She's so cute!
