Update: Pokemon X and Y Starters' Final Evolutions Revealed

[Headsprouter]

Well, Chespin turned out alright, as expected. Can't say much for the type mix, though. Braixen-lovers will be disappointed, however.

Frogadier? Greninja? Wait... is that a water-type... grenadier-pokemon?!

I think Brigadier is what they were referencing. Or perhaps Grenadier, in terms of the kind of smoke bombs a ninja would use.

I'm going for Delphox.

But I'm getting a girl, I need moar bitches on my teams.

Everything about what you just said is strange to me.

Anyways, really not liking the fire starter. Im thinking maybe the frog.

 

[nuba km]

that's no scarf, its his tongue.

You sure? I thought that was... whatever those clouds are supposed to be, except... solidified in some sense.
I dunno. The quality of the picture isn't too good, so it's hard to tell. Plus, I find it odd that this frog-creature has mammal-like ears. Or are those horns?

well its the colour of a tongue, you can't see his mouth and being a frog he would have a tongue long enough. also there are several frog species who have growths like that near their eyes but they are normally not so flat.

Having the splash art next to images ripped from poorly taken photos of the 3DS screen makes all of them look worse then they are. Still sticking with Fennekin starter, though I'll admit I'm damn tempted to go Chespin.

It kind of looks like Chespin was building up for a massive sneeze where he becomes an awesome armored beast.

Did I hear somewhere that Torchic is going to be released as an event Pokemon, or have I just made that up?

Cause if that's true, then it complicates things. I won't know which starters to pick at that point D:

 

[freaper]

This'll be the first time I don't pick fire for my starter pokémon. Froakie it is...

 

[stormeris]

I'd rather get my Sceptile...

My favorite starter of all time, but Froakie will do.

 

[Ghonzor]

Did I hear somewhere that Torchic is going to be released as an event Pokemon, or have I just made that up?

Cause if that's true, then it complicates things. I won't know which starters to pick at that point D:

A Torchic with its Mega Evolution item and the ability Speed Boost will be released as a wi-fi event the day the game is officially out.

Oh God, what am I gonna do now?! This is LITERALLY the hardest decision anybody's faced ever ever! D:

Just be reckless and choose Fennikin and Charmander anyway...
That's what I'm going to do because, screw it, I like a challenge.

 

[Scarim Coral]

It look like I'm staying true to my word (when the starters were first release I said I was going to picked Froakie).

I thought I would had changed my mind since I thought Chespin could of win me over. Granted I don't hate its evolve form, I just picture it different and I still prefered Chesnaught over Delphox.

Lastly is it just me or does the evolved forms look very human like as in cosplaying them would be easy compared to the last starter (well except for Greninja cos of the skinny frog legs)?

 

[BrainWalker]

I am conflicted. When the X/Y starters were first announced, I supported the one with the finest, and indeed, only mustache. I assumed it would become more magnificent as Froakie evolved. But now I see that it actually shrinks, and in fact vanishes altogether in the final evolution. This makes me sad. But the final evolution is a super-sweet ninja frog water/dark type. I don't know how to feel!

... also, does Braxien have a random stick growing out of its tail for some reason?

 

[Mr. Omega]

This works out perfectly for me. I can get Chespin, Squirtle and Torchic. Then my team can have Thorny Juggernaut, Mothafuckin' Siege Tank and Kung Fu Chicken. [sub][sub]I wish I could actually use those nicknames. Damn character limit...[/sub][/sub]

 

[TKretts3]

The grass starter evolves into a Grass/Fighting type... Well, I guess we know the final types of the grass starters for the next two pokemon games now.

 

[Folksoul]

I was thinking about Chespin... and then they announced that you get a gen 1 starter. They gave me back my first Pokemon ever,and as someone who skipped gens 2-4,bringing back childhood memories takes precedent. It was then and there that my gen 6 choice was between Fennekin and Froakie. I think I'll pick Froakie even though its final form might be weak to Xerneas if it's confirmed as water/dark. That's what Venusaur is for, Poison FTW. That, and Fennikin's final form is a bit too "floofy" for my taste.

am i the only one to realise this are false pictures? first of all the quality is too low than standard plus no one else have reported on this

 

[Steven Bogos]

LOOK AT THIS AMAZING FANART! Then look at the official evolutions. Then look back at this fanart and cry yourself to sleep over what could have been...

They are certainly not false pictures! I take offense to that, I made sure all of my posts are thoroughly researched!

Here's some additional proof for you:
