The Panda is "Naughty Type" however it's listed as Fighting Attribute. I have a feeling its evolution will align with the described behavioral, thereby evolving into a Dark/Fighting. Not particularly excited for that. To me, this just wreaks (I mean not to use this in a negative way) of the new style with which Sugimori has decided to go. More cartoony, less stoic and realistic (if one can ever get himself to describe Pokemon as "realistic" at all). It's not terribly far gone, but alas, it is different.
I thought that lizard was a malformed dachsund (down to the body shape and ears), but that it's a lizard reminds me of the older generations and Sugimori's ability to convey what animal a Pokemon reflects just barely so that it confused us when observing this (I still don't fully know what Abra is). I always see types combined with Normal as rather inappropriate, as Normal is, or at least was, the absence of any elemental background (to me). I suppose now, Normal is being justified as being its own element, rather than absent of a known one. This fact makes it even stranger that older Pokemon would have their Normal type revamped to fit into a new "Fairy" or "Light" type. I really hope this gains two evolutions, as it looks so neotenous I cannot imagine only receiving one.
I think the reason Erikiteru isn't pure Electric is because it generates electricity from sun rays (an outside source) compared to other pure or type1 Electric-types who seemingly can generate electricity themselves. So if it didn't regenerate electricity, it would be an "normal" lizard.
But it still focused around electricity in it behavior and such, hence why it's not Normal/Electric.
Plants use sun to generate their energy. At least, that statement reminds me more closely of Grass than Normal.
The robin with its beady emotionless black eyes and tiny body is sure to receive two evolutions. I love its design and simplicity, still more dynamic in silhouette than our favorite but ever plain Pidgey (though my trusty rose-tints would prevent me from fully acknowledging Sugimori's updated ability to draw in favor of childhood reminiscence).
The goat reminds me of Goht from Majora's Mask, and so this will be its theme when on my team. That you can ride it to me implies that perhaps certain Pokemon have unique out-of-battle abilities? Or is this an HM? Speculations galore.
