It means nothing, we've seen Delphox's stats, it's a Charizard/Typhlosion-style relatively balanced speedy special sweeper.

Seems like I'm slapping Greninja on a rain team with dual screen espeon and mega lucario.
I'm so disappointed in the design of the final starter evolutions. Not that I don't like them, they just don't fit in line. In my opinion most Pokemon should have many characteristics of his previous evolution. In this case they just don't fit in like. It looks like there is on stage missing between the 2nd and 3rd. The changes are too big. Why do Froakie and Frogadier loose the cloudlike scarf and why does it suddenly change into a tonguelike scarf?
And then Delphox. Just... no... I would like it if it was another Pokemon. Again the change between Braixen and Delphox is too big. It loses to many characteristics of it's previous evolution.
And then, finally, Chespin and Qualadin. Again, the final design is ok on it's own but doesn't fit in line.
In general I think they should stick with the same color pattern, sure they can add colors but you should easily recognize that it's from the same evolution line. I feel like their leaving out essential parts which really should have been included to the final evolutions.
EDIT: O right, I didn't finish my post. I was going to say thet GF made these mistakes to often. I really wonder what gets into those minds then.

What's that? I can't hear you over my hugely more drastic change from my previous form.

I just realized- can't someone just use the GTS to find out at least the names of the new Pokémon? If memory serves, it was confirmed you could search for stuff that wasn't yet in your Pokédex, so shouldn't the GTS provide a list of names?
And just to be clear, I do not really disagree with ya. XD
But you bashed my darling Delphox. I had to. I'm thinking it's my favorite of these starters. Unlike last generation, as from the images we've seen so far, I don't outright hate any of these starters. I kinda like them all actually. Nothings describes my aberration for the atrocity that was Emboar. And Samurott is bipedal-to-quadrapedal reverse evolution that I don't like. THIS GENERATION IS NOT THAT!
Samurott is not exclusively quadrupedal, he can stand on his hind legs and use the shells on his arms like swords, real swords not crappy sea shells.
The sprites never did it justice, he is not really that different from his previous stages.
Here take a look:
As for Emboar, it's kind of hit or miss. I personally like it.

I'm sorry if people have already said this but I just noticed there is a gap after Sylveon? Any chance that could mean there's going to be another eeveelution?
Pretty sure that since the game isn't out yet, the GTS probably doesn't work at all.
Better than going from Royal Snake to Roid Freak.

Geee I dunno where did the leaf on Chikorita's head go. Where did Blastoise's cannons/Charizard's wings come from.
It flowered and no longer needed the leaf. Like you know a flower
The hatches were to small until the final stage.
It dreamed of flying like bagon but wasnt an idiot about it so its wings came in naturally instead of a cocoon
Way to completely miss the point lol.
I can agree with his sentiments. Both of froakies forms were stressing that bubble scarf thing as a major design element, and then they literally disappear.
Blastoise and Charizard EVOLVED :o :o :o but there are elements on them that are carried through their line.
i guess thats a translation issue, but its cool they named it after Matisse, the French painter. Altho idk how the 2 correlate at all...
Didn't gen 4 have a bunch of pokemon in the dex that were completely unobtainable until post game?
I find Slurpuff's description highly unrealistic.
What if its trainer accidentally farted? With a sense of smell that acute it would probably pass out every time it encountered a strong smell.

I agree with the King of Harts. The final evos this generation don't make sense at all. Chespin's final evo makes literally no sense at all to me (don't get me wrong, I like the design).
Starter evos made sense until the 5th/6th generation (Think about it, the snivy line loses its arms and legs)
BloodGod22: Quite an observation. There may not be much farting because trainers in the pokemon games don't eat!

I'm talking defining characteristics changing. Throughout the entire Chikorita line the buds around the neck progress eventually into a flower. Squirttle family doesn't really have defining characteristics outside of it's shell, so I'm not sure it falls under what I'm talking about. But others include Mudkips cheeks and fins, Cyndaquil's fire back, Charmander and Chimchar's flame, Fennekin's ears, etc...
Greninja doesn't just lose it's bubbles, it replaces them. The bubbles both Froakie and Frogadier have. It's weird.
The Snivy line loses its legs because it's based on the Garden of Eden snake.
Im thinking the bulk of the mountain dex is post E4
