I have a theory and massive hope (boyhood hero being referenced here) for fletchling.
With its name possibly deriving from hatchling + fletching,
Fletching a term in crafting arrows, could this little robin have ties to another European Robin who uses a bow and arrow.
Robin Hood.
Please use this for inspiration GF, I will do unworldly things for this to be true.

Hmm.. interesting..yes it is certainly possible that they based Fletchling off Robin Hood to keep with the European Theme..

Well we know we are getting at least 51 new pokemon in this new gen
We were told the total will be over 700
So 700-649 = 51

I definitely think that they should keep all the regionals
The regional bird, rodent and pika

It's likely to be much more than that. We have 9 in the starters, 2 in the legendaries, 1 in Sylveon and 4 in the Pokemon recently revealed. That's 16 right there. I expect at least 100, akin to G/S/C.

EDIT: Also, I just noticed. Look at the bottom left corner of the summary screen.

It seems ribbons are a returning feature.

that would be cool if it evolved into a hawk with a red hood crest :p

Would love it.

I would die happy. Well, I'd play pokemon happy...

That is an excellent idea. To add more hope, its tail looks like the types of fletch used on arrows.

Thank you for helping build up my hope, I hope they aren't crushed.
 
Just managed to catch up with the news recently. I'm really liking Pancham so far, I can see its evolution using bamboo as some form of martial arts weapon. Fletchling has been a little unappealing to me but considering it knows flame charge, that has piqued interest in it. I was disappointed with Helioptile's typing, its electric/normal typing suggests that its evolution(s) will not gain another type, which is sad as I could envision it becoming an electric/dark type. All things considered it could have been a lot worse.

I can dig it, Robin Hood bird sounds awesome. I still think the Panda should be a dark type.... But that's just me fanservicing my favorite type.

For that picture of the Dex. Does anybody also see Caterpie in one of the regions in Kalos. The order is Fennekin, blank spot (Fennekin stage 1), blank spot (Fennekin stage 2), Zigzagoon, blank (for Linoone), Fletchling, blank, blank, Caterpie, blank, blank.

..you really support the fairy type idea don't you?


Wikipedia.. A fairy (also faery, faerie, fay, fae; euphemistically wee folk, good folk, people of peace, fair folk, etc.)
Wikipedia...a ghost (sometimes known as a spectre (British English) or specter (American English), phantom, apparition or spook). I love the Spook Type. Gengar is my favorite Spook type.

Huh. All the best info ALWAYS SHOWS UP when I'm at work. CX

So, Pokebeach's rumors were correct...!? I'll be durned. I honestly thought he was being duped, but I'm glad I was wrong. Now the bigger question is how much longer Beach is will hold onto the rest of his info.

I don't know about anyone else though, but I want to see what those ''sky battles'' (the rumor about a new battle type for fliers/levitators?) are going to be about. Can't picture it being anything else. =/

GAIZ!! KALOS IS IN A STAR SHAPE, COSMIC TYPE CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO MUSICIANS ARE SUPERSTARS SOUND TYPE CONFIRMED!!!!!not that I wouldn't love them

Ok in all seriousness now, did anyone else notice the two protrusions coming out of the back of Pancham? It kind of reminds of those sashes some karate/ninja people wear around their heads and could see them becoming that in an evolution. Maybe the leaf could become a bamboo blowpipe and he could be a Fighting/Dark ninja.

They never introduced any in the recent games, but they just had them because previous Pokemon had ribbons. Unless they decide to bring back contest, or just new achievement ribbons.

I meant 'return' as in 'reappear' - they appeared in Generation V and will reappear in Generation VI. I have the Deoxys myself, I'm aware that ribbons exist in Generation V. :p

Not to be cynical, but just because they got the names "right" doesn't mean anything else they put is right.
I'll have to wait for GF to finalize any of these supposed "leaks"
