Re: Starter Discussion and Speculation
Honestly, I also think that Fighting doesn't suit a ninja at all and Dark (or even Poison) would be more suitable types, but this is Pokémon we are talking about, in the end that could be a reason for Froakie being a Water/Fighting ninja. Or not, after all, Samurott isn't Water/Fighting and I still don't understand why Game Freak didn't give this type to the samurai. On other hand, I can see a Kendo practitioner being either Grass/Dark or Grass/Fighting, but Fighting would totally fit the theme better.
If Chespin evolves into a Knight and not into a Kendo practitioner, I will be so sad ;_; Knights are meh.
There is no indication of Dark in Chespin's design either.I think society's view of ninjas has been changed by pop culture lately. Real ninjas used poison, disguise, and other forms of "dirty fighting" in order to assassinate their targets. While I still think Froakie will evolve into fighting type, since I'm not seeing any indication of Dark in his design, I have to agree that Dark would make as much sense coming from a ninja.
