>Ash gets Froakie, and it'll be his first water type that evolves
>Girl gets Chespin who'll be the Piplup/Oshawott of X&Y
>Third wheel guy gets Fennekin because quadrupedal starters are bland, making it appropriate for him
>Ash gets Gogoat as his own Grass type, and Fletchling and its evolutions will serve as both his Fire and his Flying type at the same time, giving him space for a team member with a type he hasn't used much such as the unevitable new one
