What U mean deleted tweets

Nintendo of America posted the tweet about gyms and then deleted it. It's suspected to have been posted earlier than intended.

I wouldn't mind Fire/Fighting this time around, though Electric as secondary type for it does appeal more to me.

Thank u why not fire and electric is brand new

Heat-Rotom is Electric/Fire.

For some reason, I just see Scorbunny's final evo being a big rabbit or kangaroo with boxing gloves and a mean look on its face.

inb4 we're all getting rused and it becomes Fire/Bug and a mixture of a hare and some weird centipede.

Fire/Electric and Fire/Fairy are my bets for Scorbunny- preferably the latter because I'd like to scoot as far away from fighting as possible.

There are plenty of different Pokemon types that I think Game Freak should just give it a break with having fighting as secondary typing for the starters for a while.

We don't need another reversible evolution, we already have Megas. They can add more Megas instead of copying a gimmick.

Thank you... also any ever thought how many new Pokémon in this game will be

Again fire and fighting type so boring why not be electric type for bunny fire Pokémon

I was referring to Gen 6’s secondary typing.

I don’t want Fire/Fighting for Scorbunny.

Also, Mewtwo doesn't need a new Forme. He already has 2 Megas that give him higher BST than God.

Mewtwo being Kanto is a reason enough for GF to shower it with new forms and gimmicks and whatnot.

The speed theme for scorbunny. I think that the second type comes from there. What types fits it?
For me Electric and normal, something else?

Electric is the most "Speed" type there is. Energy, charging, and such. Most Electric types are fast.

With vampire fangs.

But to add to my post, Incineroar is implied to having a fighting type persona but doesn't have the fighting persona at all. So let's prepared to get played royally by Game Freak.

I got to say that if he's not fire/electric I'll be surprised.

Incineroar is dark because he doesn't play fair, even attacking trainers... but I feel litten darker...

 

[Kikugi]

Electric is one of my two favorite types, so I'd be happy if it really turns out to be Fire/Electric. You will not be able to burn OR paralyze it!

Somewhere between 70 and 100.

I don't support a new one because I'm weary of its design and execution, but the two Megas aren't that good as far as legendary forms go. They face competition from Attack Deoxys, Ultra Necrozma and Marshadow.
