At least it isn't fire/fighting this time.

Pfff ahahaha, yea that'd be too damn predictable. And of course blaziken's warning: "If you evolve not a fire fighting type like the others, ill skin you alive"

I'm starting to like this evolution, can't wait for the official release!

Agreed. We finally have a creative fire pokemon to look forward to. :3

just saw the release and it is as awesome as this! It's much more than what has been leaked and I'm uber excited now!

Just a bit longer. I've been looking forward to this since it was announced. :D

this is going to be a looooong 24 hours

Holy fuck, now I see it. He is a mage!

So, this is a X/Y spoiler, correct? Delphox is the final evo's name, and that's what it looks like?

Supposedly, Delphox was leaked anonymously, and won't be posted on any pokemon news site for legal reasons.

Yeah...I had kinda been trying to avoid spoilers. Do I need to unfollow for a week?

I'm pretty sure that from this point on, it'll be relatively spoiler free. There isn't enough time left to have a whole bunch of reveals.

has nothing to do with legal reasons

Game Freak knew by releasing copies to a select few without an NDA that they would be leaking the information. And you can bet they would be suing like crazy if they didn't let it happen.

They are not going to confirm or deny anything until the game itself is released live. And most pokemon sites are really good with not posting "rumours" as official news stories.

Though the forums and chatrooms throughout Pokemondom are ablaze

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here who likes Delphox, too. :3

I've been checking out videos of it being revealed on youtube, and of forums with all three final evolutions of the starters lately and there's a of LOT hate on it for some odd reason, and people are switching to Chespin or Froakie as a result...

The only worry I had was that it would be fire/fighting AGAIN, but thankfully Delphox changed that, and even if it didn't, I'll still stick with Fennekin as my starter for Pokemon X :3

Well, to be honest, Chespin and Froakie's evolutions ARE pretty badass. I mean you have a tank and a ninja. I like Delphox's type, but the overall sillhouette looks like a cone. If they adjust the proportions a bit, it would look less... silly.

*shrugs* That's true, too-I mean, out of Froakie and Chespin's evolutions, I'd be leaning towards Chespin if I wasn't getting Fennekin already. Maybe if I get Pokemon Y, then I'll get Chespin as my starter :3

I feel pretty similar to you. I fell in love with Fennekin the first time I saw it, and I was slightly iffy for Braixen... For all of three minutes. X3
Then I saw Delphox, and the only phrase I could think was, "I'm Not Worthy!" I just can't understand the flak (s)he's getting.. The sorcerer/ mage look is absolutely brilliant with the fire motif on the robes. (And Mahogany is one of my favorite colors.) Meh, if people don;t want him/her, I'll gladly take them. :3 Fire/psychic mage fox for the win in my opinion.

hehe yeah, that's just what I was thinking, too-and at least it's not ANOTHER fire/fighting starter...oh well, can't please everybody, suppose ^ ^;

They're just jelly of the glorious fur robe that they can never have >:3

I'm loving so much how you depict Delphox as a mage. Pyromancy is fucking awesome~! >:3

Also, I'm loving so much the reference XD
Quite blazing if you ask me :V

I feel like 1 or 1000 people who actually like that final form =/

Well, you're not alone, since I like it, too-especially after seeing the official artwork today: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wi.....ile:Mafoxy.png :3

Wow that looks great c: Again, I see no problem whatsoever

My two other friends and I even did a thing where we pick one starter pokemon, the other two can't pick the same one, and we're stuck with it. And I got the one I wanted which is Fennekin XD

hehe yeah, I've wanted Fennekin since I saw it 9 months ago when they first announced the games, and after seeing Delphox's official artwork, I want it even more x3;
