>>27274078I know Pinnister (Ballio) and friends are most likely fake, but I legitimately liked them because it just turned out to make Litten into something that's not completely covered by fire like most tiger/panther fake evos do and actually makes it this sleek design with patterns that doesn't turn out to be a eye sore with too much fire involved. Asides from Ballio's hands and his mane which is sea sponge apparently, he's actually not that humanoid either, he just looks like a actual standing sea lion. Rowlett's evolution from that gang was the one that was arguably humanoid, kind of like Blaziken and even some animal/owl features of him remain.
Basically, one of the most animal looking, simplest starters I had ever seen which I wouldn't have minded.
being the total ultimate fire fag who has only picked the grass starter only two times, I'm kind of already worn out by Fire/Fighting, at least Delphox was okay and liked its concept what with it being the total opposite. I'd be a shame if they just decided to go back into the pattern because I know Game Freak's better than that and can make a creative fire starter that doesn't depend on that typing, no matter how solid the typing may actually be. And even if he turns out to be Fire/Dark, which many assume him to be, he'd still thematically be a humanoid wrestler, which I guess isn't so bad compared to a blatant Fire/Fighting humanoid wrestler, but would probably be restricted to physical Dark moves only. And that's if they don't turn out just giving him just one or two attacks.
