Well, if it is in fact a soccer bunny. It could be a special attacker (HA mega launcher with all the spheres).

A fire/fighting special starter with access to aura sphere would be a nice change of pace.

Seriously, why do you guys think they would make another fire/fighting starter after they have three already? My bet's on fairy.

I’m basing it on the speculation that Scorbunny’s evolutionary line will have a soccer player theme, or at least a sports player theme. The type which aligns the most with that concept is Fighting. See: Passimian.

Same. I've gone with the grass starter for more then half of these games but I think this is gonna be another Gen VII where I go with water unless the other two have some outstanding looking final forms.



Like, I know we joke about digimon-looking pokemon, but Grookey reminded me pretty heavily of Monmon at first sight (and also that scene from The Jungle Book where Baloo dresses up as a monkey). That said, if it's final form ends up looking like some sweet Grass/Dark or Grass/Psychic witch doctor or a veggie Bigfoot I'd be down with it.
Watch as it turns into some Grass/Steel kendo monkey though with it's hair stick becoming it's sword. That seems like the most obvious way for them to go so I'm sure that's what will happen.

If it’s flexible enough to host both Super Mario Oddysey and BotW, I don’t see why it couldn’t do a pokemon game.

We were finally free. Free from our shackles

It's probably due to performance concerns, Let's Go Pikachu doesn't look nearly as taxing on the hardware as this does, having a bunch of pokemon on screen at one may just be too much for it to have a stable framerate.

Ok so other language sites have updated, French names are Ouistempo (ouistiti [marmoset] + tempo [tempo]), Flambino (flamme [flame] + bambino [Italian for child]) and Larméléon (larme [tear] + chaméléon [chameleon])

Guess Grookey is groove + monkey then

Yeah ya know they called Grookey a "chimp pokémon" in the trailer, but I first thought it looked more like a lemur or something. Marmoset also makes sense. Look up images of them– those things ARE pokémon.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I meant was that the idea of a special attack focused Fighting-type pokemon is probably too obtuse for a starter. If a starter is going to be Fighting-type, it’s going to specialize in punching and kicking.
