I have a theory on the new Starters. It's a common one, but yeah.

Grass/Dark.

Fire/Psychic.

Water/Fighting.

Notice the reverse triad? Now, most people are around 80% sure that Fennekin is Fire/Psychic, and Chespin used a move that resembled Night Slash's Black 2/White 2 animation. At the same time, it resembles Aerial Ace, so the theory isn't 100% set in stone. BUT, if they did it, they would create a successful twin triad, which is what they attempted in Gen IV, and instead created a Pokemon which was not weak or resistant to it's standard opponents, instead weak to BOTH secondary types - Empoleon.

Oh, and to the people whining about having to redo their sandstorm teams? I'm still building my Sun team.
