Ah my bad sorry and on what abilties I assume they will have the signiture Torrent Blaze and Overgrow

Of course they will. I doubt they would change anything now. We haven't had a change in starter types so I doubt they would change the abilities.

Maybe this is hoping for a bit much, but I'm going for Drizzle, Drought and Sand Stream.

Yeah everytime you battle you have the animation of rain and a sand storm...

Those could be the 6th Generation version of Hidden Abilities but there main abilities will be like always: Torrent, Blaze, and Overgrow. Of course Game freak could surprise as by switching things up but I doubt it on this one.

Froak you!!
I hope Chespin gets Sand Rush as its hidden ability and Sandstorm for an attack ..that would help it a lot

The only way I could see Chespin getting that ability is if he evolves into Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground, and they have said nothing about what they evolve into as of yet.

I'm coming round to Chespin being Grass/Rock. I think they could learn their respective weather conditions by levelling up for a change, and their strategies based around that.

I think froakie, Chespin and fennekin will all get MEGAS

I'm a little torn on this. It would definitely make sense if they did. But I don't know if they're going to go back and give all the starters Megas, or just some. Since the Kalos starters are new, I could also see them waiting a gen or so to give them Megas. Maybe that's why we're also getting the Kanto starters. But they probably will, I'm just speculating.

I know we all would love our starter to become what we want to and speculation is fine also until the day before the games are out, but guys everything the leaks of WPM said were true, let's start to consider Dark/Psychic/Fighting our most reliable starters types. It's simply an advise, just to avoid the huge disappointment from gen 5.

Did anyone see the fake CC scans in the Rumors thread that showed Heracross and Gengar Megas?
Jesus, the starter evos on there were the ugliest things I have ever seen.

can't wait to see the starters evo, I hope chespin become grass/rock (final evolution) and not the grass/dark. Fennekin and Froakie maybe will be fire/psyquic and water/fighting in the second evo, and chespin grass/rock (final), or grass/dark (second and final evo).

Based on the rumors I think the starters mega/hidden abilities will be:

Chespin: Iron Barbs/Rough Skin
Fennekin: Magic Bounce, or Serene Grace
Froakie: Drizzle, or Adaptability

It would be nice and I'd be surprised to see them not having the Starter abilities.

I'd be happy if they had good and easily accessible dream world abilities. I know someone that has been hunting for a dream world Torchic for what seems to be an eternity. I've been wanting female DW Snivy for the longest time and it doesn't look like it'll ever be released.

I'm going with Fennekin. Simply because it looks so cute, and the fact it knows psychic moves is making me wonder what it's evolutions will be.

What do you think about glowing or glow punch? (no, i don't mean final evolution being fire/fighting) Mistranslation like sucker punch? would it be like poison jab, in terms of non bypedal pokemon can use it although it says it's a jab? And why glow? Does it lower accuracy, is it like shock wave or faint attack, always hits? Maybe it's a priority move? And what type is it?
