They do, but I'm also choosing Fennekin for my partner.
....unless if the evolutions prove otherwise, OR, Fennekin's fire/fight.
But, if I say, Chespin almost looks either Grass/Dark, or Grass/Ground <.>

Fire bug. Seems legit. Remember the last time you stepped in that pesky Fennec Fox look-alike bug? (Seriously, how could he say that? Makes no sense!)
But, all jokes aside, I would love Fire/Psychic, but since GameFreak likes playing tricks on us, I'd like to wait and see...
I wonder when we'll get info and pictures on the evolutions of the starters...I'm hoping by next week.

You honestly made me go back to look at the trailer for Chespin and Froakie about this. Chespin's solar beam gets a bit brighter and a tad greener, while the second attack has a black background, red x, and bits of black, purple, and whit slashing. For Froakie the first attack becomes a water like blue, while the second attack just has him hitting Patrat is with black and electric blue showing.
For Fennekin, I can only ask: NO FIRE/FIGHTING, STAY QUADRUPEDAL! And, I mean, Fennekin is around for three days and he is already on his way to rule the Internet. He's just a beast like that!
And, yeah, I can see Chespin being Grass/Dark, but not Grass/Ground as much.

Well CoroCoro is in 5 days and will likely be leaked in less. Let's see what they have to offer. They could maybe give us some new information... Or they could totally just repeat everything that's known currently.

I could see us getting typings perhaps, but sadly I can't see us getting evolutions any time soon :/. Or as you said, we'll just get everything repeated to us. Hopefully corocoro will give us a closer look at the girl protagonist.
Somehow, I see the latter more likely to be true. But maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong...

Yeah, better looks as the girl protagonist and typings are all we can wish for that could actually be possible at this point.

Here's a picture of the Kirlia receiving that attack I took using the gif in my sig. I really hope Fennekin is fire/psychic with this sign of it.
Better than my thoughts

Correction: Vulpix learns Extrasensory by level up. Though, I will say, that move the unmistakable appearance of a Psychic type move.
My analysis of the moves in the video:
Chespin
-Solarbeam
-Night Slash(not Aerial Ace, because Aerial Ace's animation includes two vertical slashes, one downward and the second upward; the move's animation had two downward vertical slashes)
Fennekin
-Flamethrower
-Confusion
Froakie
-Water Gun
-Scratch/Slash/Fury Swipes

So you think they expect us to wait until the games' release to see the starters' evolutions? Sorry, but it's 99% likely that you're wrong. This is a new gen, they're going to want to create as much hype as possible. I'm not expecting them to be revealed when CoroCoro is released/leaked in a couple of days, but definitely earlier than 7-8 months.

Change water gun to the new move that's the freeze version of scald I completely agree with this. I'm still hung up on that snowflake in it and I probably will be until it's revealed to be a new move or while playing the game I find out it is. If I didn't love Fennekin so much I'd probably pick Froakie if we don't find info on it before release.

I'm picking Chespin for sure, fell in love with the little dude as soon as he popped up in the trailer 
I can see how some people can see it's resemblance to Dewott/Oshawott but for me that isn't a bad thing since i loved the whole evolution line (The only other line i fully loved was the Squirtle line)
I have no idea what he could become in his final stage, the first thought i had was part Fighting then went to part Dark. Not too sure which one i would prefer out of those :S maybe Grass/Dark since i'm pretty much a part dark type trainer but the weaknesses he would get would suck. One idea i saw I'm starting to like alot more and that is Grass/Rock, i hardly ever use Rock types so if Chespin does become part Rock then i get to use it alot more
Not going to comment in as much detail with the other two (long posts tend to get read less, well for me anyway XD) Fennekin does nothing or me whatsoever :/ it doesn't have a bad design and i don't dislike it, it just isn't my type of pokemon. Froakie would be my 2nd choice and what i will most probably choose in the 2nd game i get, it has an interesting design that can be interpreted many, many ways, which is awesome

This is gonna be hard! I haven't been interested in a fire starter since Torchic (I know), and for the past two gens I went with the water starter. I think I will leave it at how the evolutions look, though I will probably try to get all the starters once I've completed the game.
Even with the characters, I don't know what I want to be this time :B

Hang on guys, I just had a thought. Remember when back when Diamond and Pearl were going to be released, it was rumored that the starters would be Dark/Fighting/Psychic.
So maybe because Chespin knows (preseumbly) Night Slash and Fennekin learns what appears to be Confusion. Maybe the trio will gain those types when they evolve.
Chespin into a Grass/Dark
Fennekin into a Fire/Psychic
and Froakie into a Water/Fighting
Do you guys agree?
