[type=water][/type]​

Japanese Name: Keromatsu
Classification: Bubble Frog Pokémon
Height: 0.3m / 1'00"
Weight: 7.0kg / 15.4 lbs

Hidden Ability: Protean

Revealed: Froakie was revealed along with the other two starters, Chespin and Fennekin, and two Legendary Pokémon, Xerneas and Yveltal, on the 8th of January, 2013 during a Pokémon Direct broadcast announcing the Gen VI games.

Additional Info: As described by Pokemon.com, "the Water-type Pokémon Froakie is both light and strong, making it capable of jumping incredibly high. The bubbles on its chest and back protect it from attacks. Froakie may appear absentminded, but in truth it pays close attention to its surroundings at all times."

X: It secretes flexible bubbles from its chest and back. The bubbles reduce the damage it would otherwise take when attacked.
Y: It protects its skin by covering its body in delicate bubbles. Beneath its happy-go-lucky air, it keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings.

Froakie is one of the Kalos regions starter Pokémon.

All I truly want from this little guy, is for his final Evolution to have an amazing beard/mustache made out of bubbles. Froakie may be the least loved upon first glance of the three, but so was Oshawott in Gen V and way all saw that Oshawott became (and then sadly it had to evolve a second time :V). Out of all three of the starters, Froakie has the most potential to be something amazing, as of right now.

On first glance Froakie is the most loved for me. Fennekin has a bland design but attracts everyone because a) It's a fire type b) It's a canine
and c) Best to a fursona out of :| And Chespin just creeps me out with its face. I agree it has the most potential to be something amazing, I personally think it looks the stronger of the three as well

...Corey, I believe you have confused Froakie with Fennekin. It's easy to see why though XD

As for thoughts on Froakie, yes, it's appearance as it is right now is unimpressive, but I think that this Pokemon has a lot of potential, for evolutions, stats, and maybe even a decent move pool. Also, I believe it is going to be either a pure Water type, or gain one of these types:
1) Ice
2) Fighting
3) Poison

 

[Phanes]

I love the idea we finally get a frog starter!

 

[Psycho Monkey]

I have a tradition of getting the Water starter the first time though a new Generation (yes even fourth, but I got Pearl and Platinum at the same time so I still technically showed more love to my Platinum Infernape) and that tradition is going to stay alive and well this Gen with Froakie.

And Zekrom, I will flip some shit if Froakie gains Fighting-type because then that makes it just a Poliwrath clone which will just be upsetting. I'll be fine with Ice, Poison, Dark, or Psychic though. Remaining pure will be just fine too!

U and I choose starters the same way.
I love the froakie, and all water types. Hopefully, well never run into the fire type dilemma where they are

YES!!! I want that to seriously be a thing. Froakie may be a tad creepy looking at first, but his final evolutions have the potential to make him seriously epic if Nintendo plays this right. Also, the fact that he learns HYDRO PUMP?!?! Dang!!

 

[Let-The-RainFall]

Bubble backpack scarf. Oh yus. ;U;

I actually really like this guy, its just so...derpy~ XD
Hope he evolves into something awesome! ;w;

 

[Charisu]

Froakie is just amazing!

u
serious.
I being a fennec FOX lover, joined just to correct you, its not canine, nor does it take any traits from the genus canus, its vulpine, fox, its inspired by VULPES Zerda,

now that thats off my chest, GO FENNEKIN

 

[Coreysawrus]

Canine refers to Canidae both Canis and Vulpes are genus within Canidae

 

[ShayminEmpire]

Canine refers to Canidae both Canis and Vulpes are genus within Canidae

wow, Im a complete and utter noob, blinded by my love for fennec foxes.

thanks for teaching me this fact, as it will help me somehow...

 

[MaxineZoruaLuna]

Looks a little Derpy to me but in a cute way

 

[YankeeNick]

Screw Fennekin and Chespin.

FROAKIE IS WHERE IT'S AT.

*SPOILERS* Actually it gains a dark type at it's final evo

Best Pokemon of Kalos!!

I love the idea we finally get a frog starter!

Of course we get a frog starter I have a feeling they are running out of ideas for new pokemon

 

[StellarWind Elsydeon]

Biodiversity, child. I don't see you complaining about the wealth of different frog species in nature because OMG NATURE IS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS.

Same goes for Pokémon. Each of the frog Pokémon is based on radically different types of frogs, just like each of the different fish Pokémon is based on different types of fish and each of the bajillion and a half canine Pokémon are based on different kinds of canines. There's plenty of ideas to go around.

I still have mine in X, he was named rogue, and he's now a boss greninja
