Thinking of Marshadow, what could be the "unique typing"? Assuming existing ones (which would be the most obvious) are off the table, what could it be?

Maybe Fairy/Dark, Fairy/Fire, Ghost/Normal, or Ghost/Fighting?

Also, what does everyone think about some left field changes to existing Pokemon? I'm hoping for some more stat boosts or hidden ability changes.

ghost/fairy, it's mimikyu

I'm still having problems between cool rear end lion and sailor moon bat. I've never been so undecided before. I may need to make a pact with someone once bank opens to get them to reset for a good nature and trade.

Any speculation on the stat spreads of the starters? Well, 2 of them seem fairly obvious. I just want to know if owlbaby will be mixed attacker or not.

I'm gonna call the ballpark of 80 105 75 90 100 80

similarly the cat should be 85 105 90 90 90 70

and then Primarina as the surprising fast choice at 80 55 55 135 105 100

but by and large we're due for another generation of slow fuckers after the speed blitz of XYORAS. kinda like BW had a lot of strong but slow Pokemon that ingrained themselves

I want to say that they won't give two pokemon of the same typing overly similar spreads, but I'm not quite sure what the math behind "overly similar" actually is. That's about all I've got, whether they go for something hilariously opposite like defensive Fire/Dark as opposed to Houndoom or fast attacker Grass/Ghost opposed to the two current Ghost/Grass or just very minor changes like swapping atk/satk on Houndoom and putting some speed in defense is hard to say.

144 Attack
60 Defense
70 SpAtt
60 SpDef
100 Speed
=534, like the other Fire starters.

Agreed, it's pretty cool looking and it's a shame it wasn't around much in the anime, it evolved after 3 episodes.

I also think Charizard is pretty rad and a cool pick in Y for its Mega.

I guess Ghost/Grass is an alternate since it's also a ship wheel made of wood but Decidueye has a monopoly on that typing.

I think they meant for that generation. Has a recent starter shared it's typing with a new pokemon from its same gen? I'm just curious. With the exception of grass/poison, bc apparently grass has to either be monotype or with poison. And bugs aren't cool enough for starter status. /bitterness

I mean Gen V had Basculin and Maractus at bare minimum.

Gen II had slugma, bellosom and probably a bunch of pure water. Gen III had Barboach's line and plenty of pure grass. Gen IV is still all unique, outside of other fire/fighting starters. Gen VI had mega-gyarados and mega-sharpedo.

I sincerely do not understand why VGC doesn't ban all legendaries. What's the point of calling some of them restricted when Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza are broken?

Sejun Park is the only good pokemon player.

Wolfe Glick is really good too. Like, watching his analysis on new pokemon or how battles work or whatever shows that he's definitely got the process down and it's really down to "I use what will win but I know why it'll win and how to throw my opponent off for using what HE'LL use to win".

Honestly I'd swap the Physical and Special Attack for Decidueye. I don't see it being a Special attack as an archer/sniper.

It's time to decide on Hidden Abilities

I'm gonna say Decidueye will have the obvious choice of Sniper, Incineroar something mildly neat like Limber or Defiant, and Primarina will have something new. alternatively, all three will have something new and cool.
