It IS 4chan, so you can't expect it, but it does sound awesome. If that's true, it'll be hard choosing a starter!
Probably fake..But Wow great imagination..
" The Starters are inspired by various European-centric archetypes…Chespin becomes a knight with chestnut armor, Fennekin a wizard with a majestic fur cloak, and Froakie a Nordic Viking with a thunder-cloud mullet/beard combo".
I could see all of them like this (Froakie my choice by far), all would stand on 2 legs actually.. And the legends switching types and colour?? O.O
It was really exciting however, until I read:
"The Starters become Grass/Steel, Fire/Psychic, and Water/Electric".
"Dark: Raccoon. Its tail serves as a burglar sack, and it’s got a stylish black mask".
Game Freak never gives has what we predicted.. And the fire/psychic starter, the (yeah I know it was for a dark froakie but always) burglar sack for a Dark Pokemon and thunder clouded frog were all in speculation these days...
