Watch it be some frilly pink fairy thing, for the lulz.

Just a thought ... if the theme for this gen is based (at least partly) on X & Y chromosomes, and not X & Y axes, then not only could they have a Z version, they could also have a W version. So we might see ZW sequels to these game, just as we saw BW2, with the new legends for those games taking up the remaining primary colours (yellow & green). 'Course, I'm getting ahead of myself, but still, it's an interesting thought.

I've been saying this myself, actually.

Same here. I'm going to hold this thought until we're proven otherwise. Tied along with the Norse mythology design ideas.

Could be a dark type. Poochyena was an early Pokémon in Ruby/Sapphire.

That would make my year

[Locked In My Asylum]

I have a feeling it might be a Dark type. Then again, we might get trolled and it'd be a cute Normal or Psychic type.

SATAN

AND AT LEVEL 66 IT EVOLVES INTO SATAN

[Icalasari]

There are currently 649 Pokemon in the national dex

These three starters will add 9, bringing it to 658. Say we get the normal one then. 660. So either a bug, a bird, or yes, a pink frilly fairy

[Ninja_Oscar]

A Bug Dark type. That would be truly evil >:)

[Shiny Staraptor]

considering 650-658 are starters, eight Pokémon after that would still be in the cheap early-game section.

Oh god why did you link to TV Tropes. Please put in a warning.

I hope it's the region's annoying rodent. Or a 1 HP Poké with Sturdy, that can only be defeated if... nah, that'd be too overpowered.

[Guy_Spy]

Roserade was pretty early in the dex of DP because of Budew at Route 204. So the 666th could be a Houndoom evolution if Houndour be catchable in early game.

[JustAnotherLeafeon]

It would be funny if they made it a dark or a ghost type. Although, I doubt they'll really do anything.

[Johnny Boy]

I 'd like New Pokemon based off of animals that haven't been used as an inspiration yet:

A water type dolphin: Seriously, why the hell hasn't a dolphin Pokemon been created yet?!
An electric type cheetah
A fossil Rock/Dragon T-Rex
A Water/Poison Sea Anemone
A Rock/Poison stonefish with water absorb
A Panda (a proper one this time around)
A Bug/Ground Millipede


I'd also like a poison type legendary since poison types are currently the only Pokemon that don't have a legendary to call their own.

And please, for the love of Arceus, DO NOT MAKE THE FIRE STARTERS SECOND TYPING BE FIGHTING!!!!

[Karpi]

Let's look at the likely scenarios:

Starters up to 658. Zigzagoon+Poochyena lines up to 662. Bug or bird 3 stage line up to 665. 666 could be a first stage bug, a first stage bird, or some common early pokemon like Lotad.
Starters up to 658. Zigzagoon line only up to 660. 3 stage bird/bug up to 663. 666 could be a final evolution bug, final evolution bird
Starters up to 658. Zigzagoon+Poochyena lines to 662. 2 stage bird up to 664. 666 could be a middle evolution bug.

Personally, I am predicting that it's a middle evolution bug in order to not draw attention to the situation

[PikachuTheAmazing]

Maybe the legendaries have a genetic backstory of some sort. Perhaps because of the DNA in the Japanese logos, and the X and Y chromosomes...
