Am I the only one extremely disappointed by the in-battle animation for Charizard X? We went from the beautiful wing flapping of Charizard and Charizard Y (and Noivern for that matter) to it just seeming to hover in mid-air without moving its wings... Maybe because it lost its Flying-type it forgot how...? It makes me curious how that Sky Battle mechanics will accommodate for it, especially if Mega's retain their evolution upon switching out.
EDIT: There's also always hope that the animation isn't done for it in that clip. Like when we saw shadows in Sky Battles...
My best guess is that Charizard is flying- type, and so was allowed to partake in a sky battle, and the mega-evo doesn't (or can't) change that.
My initial thoughts on Charizard X was that it had a deliberately "glide like" flying pattern to show that it is no longer flying-type.
It's also possible that GF is just going to be weird and allow any borderline cases into sky battles. So (for example) Dragonair is neither flying nor has levitate yet it wouldn't be outrageous if it could fight in a sky battle. I'm sure there are other examples of pokemon that fly/levitate/glide in the anime which aren't immune to ground- attacks.
so we can quite conclude it's final form is water fight. fenn's final hints to be fire psy, and chespin's prolly grass dark. would make sense in the triumvirate of forces, since psy's strong against fight, which is strong against dark, which is stront againstpsy. which means that, for the first time ever the advantage matchup of the starters will go two way round.
in the primary types, Fenn > Chespin> Froakie > Fenn.
in the secondary types (final forms), Fenn > Froakie > Chespin > Fenn.
Am I the only one excited by this?
I don't see how you can conclude this on the evidence so far presented. If Froakie's line is meant to resemble Ninjas then surely it makes more sense for the final evo to be Water/Dark. And if Chespin is more loosely based on a soldier then surely that makes its final evo Grass/Fighting. (this would of course re-enforce the X beats Y beats Z beats X circle).
I don't necessarily think that Froakie isn't Water/Fighting btw (I just want to play the Devil's advocate and suggest a reasonable alternative, whereby-) I don't understand how you can state that with any certainty at this point.
