It's looking pretty likely at this point that the Froakie evolution line with culminate in a glorious Ninja Frog of amazing. Really tempted to switch away from Fennekin at this point.

 

[Picnicker Virgil]

He looks like a cool older brother who would drive you and your friends places and would stand up for you against bullies and when your first girlfriend breaks up with you he would be all comforting and stuff. His little bubbles just keep going and going off the page I wonder what they are doing.

Looks like I made the right choice when I jumped on the Froakie bandwagon. Of the three middle forms Gerogashira is the coolest. I'm still hoping it won't evolve into a Fighting-type because that would make it a Poliwrath clone (Water-Fighting Frog). If the final evolution is Ice, Dark, or remains pure Water that'll be fine with me.

 

[Burgundy]

Well then.... I'm glad I chose Froakie from the beginning. The others are okay, but this is definitely my favorite mid-evolution.

 

[Sir Red]

Yes, everyone join the glorious Froakie bandwagon. Let this be a lesson that the Water starter is always better than the others!

I cannot wait to see what the final form for it looks like. The design for this evolution is very sleek and simple, while still being distinct enough to draw your eye to it and it has a nice amount of character. I am further affirmed in my choice of Froakie now.

 

[Linkachu]

Seems to be a trend happening here~

This froggy's design is easily my favourite mid-staged form of the Kalos starters too. I'd already begun to favour Froakie over Fennekin (still love Chespin best ♥) and seeing this kinda one-sided that favoritism. Hopefully it'll continue on to have a nifty final stage design too!

 

[505pokemaster]

it sucks more than chespins evo (even know it is just a chespin with a pignite body) and fennnekin's evolution is way better and look at this pokemon closy and carfully

im staying with chespin for y and fennekin for x and if i get another y it has to be y i will start with froakie but otherwise i get another x i will choose chespin

 

[Magpie]

505pokemaster, please don't double post. I've merged your posts together this time, but please read the rules.

Anyway, Gerogashira is probably my favourite of the three middle stages, which is ironic because although I liked Froakie, it was my least favourite of the Gen VI Starters xD The streamline design and smug face work very nicely and the design is promising overall.

 

[StellarWind Elsydeon]

And here we have the only Kalos Midstage that doesn't look like utter shit.
REALLY appreciating the streamlined tree-frog sort of look - although I kind of wish that the name length expansion was enough for me to name one DiscoNinjaFrog. XD My hopes are kind of riding on this one (although that said, I do want to train a Clauncher so I dunno if I'll end up using it much after all...)

 

[Doubled]

Probably everyone's favorite mid stage evolution, including myself of course. He looks like he will specialize in attack, if not speed, and I think he could become part Dark, Fighting, or Flying if those "bubbles" are actually clouds like I think they are. Or it could just remain water, you never know. I do wonder what its evolution could be or what its line is based on, other than the obvious tree frog. Like... I feel like its based on something mythological... but I don't know what.

 

[StellarWind Elsydeon]

They are officially bubbles. The species is literally named the Bubble Frog Pokémon, the anime showed Froakie launching bubbles from its clusters of bubbles as an attack... Yeah. No dice on the clouds matter.

The evolution line seems to be suggesting a thief/rogue sort of design, possibly with a hint of Ninja - So I really wouldn't be surprised if the final form pulls off a reference to Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari and its eponymous hero, Jiraiya (for obvious Frog/Toad ninja reasons).

 

[TPC IJfish17]

All I want for froakie's final evo is a boss SpecialAttacking NinjaFrog. Just think, STAB Surf to get around, and STAB Aura Sphere.

 

[Valin]

Well, this one looks awesome, though it might be mostly because of the official art's facial expression, with that "don't worry, I got this" look. It may even change my mind from starting with Fennekin, but I guess it will ultimately come down to what the final evolutions look like (which has me wondering what could possibly be cooler than this, but hey, with Mega Charizard, they took something awesome and made it even better, same thing with Scyther when Scizor was introduced, so who knows?)

 

[empoleondude]

he looks awesome! hope he evolves into some sick looking ninja frog.(like charmeleon and scyther, awesome and then turn into something even more awesome)

 

[MaxineZoruaLuna]

Ninja Frog for the win!

 

[Metaking21]

I hope froakie's last evolution also learns aura sphere

 

[Necrospawn]

I still remember when my Frogadier was a froakie. good times

 

[DarkElite1500]

Seems like puffy neck things are a theme in Kalos.

 

[BooBerry]

Hmmm, I'm gonna that this Pokemon looks so cool, that this thing needs a girlfriend. And that would be braixen. Why? Because of her sexy legs duh!

 

[BooBerry]

Why did I even said that!
