>>58152026Froakie really doesn't have anything to do with a ninja and saying 'yes, it is' is not an argument. It's just a frog with bubbles. The name is not based on ninja (frog+croak), even in japanese, its pokedex description doesn't say anything that looks like a ninja, just that he acts happy-go-lucky in front people which is not stealthy at all as he's not unnoticed like a ninja should. If he tries to be deceptive, he could act as a spy but that's Inteleon, which is Sobble evolution despite Sobble having nothing to do with a spy, for the same way as Froakie (name, Pokedex entries etc.)
I can say the same for Chespin (knight), Fennekin (mage), Rowlet (archer), Litten (MMA wrestler), Sprigatito (mage), Fuecoco (singer), Quaxly (dancer), and that's just for starters.
That's also why most predictions for the starters evolutions failed to predict their last form.
I can only give you Popplio who has the entertainment element, Grookey because he likes to beat his stick, and because I'm nice, Scorbunny, because he likes to run which is needed for soccer.
Those types of things could also happened before gen VI, but the jobmon made it more common.
Maquinamon is half organic and half mechanical and his lines say that whichever he choose between organic and mechanical, he can't run away from his other part.
