Water Starter Prediction: Piplup
At this point, it would be more of a surprise if Piplup was not in the game as a starter. Empoleon and Napoleon just make way too much sense. Along with this, the only other realistic options were Popplio, Sobble and Totodile. While some of them could certainly happen, Piplup was the one that stood out the most, again mainly for its final evolution. It is also a favorite of many players and of the Gen 4 starters it also fits in with the Kalos and French theme the most.
Grass Starter Prediction: Snivy
This one was a bit tougher but the biggest determinant was that it also fits in with the Kalos and French theme as much as any of the Grass options. The Fleur De Lis
is a major part of Serperior’s design and one that will probably carry over into its new evolution. The other options of Grookey, Turtwig and Chikorita are solid contenders as they could use a little help in terms of their evolutionary lines but they just don’t seem as likely as Snivy.
Fire Starter Prediction: Scorbunny
Lastly, Scorbunny is another of the starters who fits fantastically as a Football/Soccer player. Of all of the options though, this one is the one we are least confident about. Mainly because specifically Tepig and Litten would also work very well here, Tepig especially. We believe that this final spot really could be a coinflip between Scorbunny and Tepig but with Scorbunny being so much more popular it just makes sense to have it added.
