Fennekin possibly a Fire/Fighitng type

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp-mW2gd1hg]New Trailer[/url]
In this new trailer, Fennekin uses an attack apparently called [i]Glow Punch[/i]. To add to that the attack was [b]super effective against Litleo[/b], a Fire/Normal type.
The only type normal is weak to is fighting.
It's possible it could just be a random attack, but the attack is a new one, and so far we've only seen Fennekin use it. Another thing is that a noticeable feature of Fennekin is the ability to make it's ears glow. Chances are this glow punch could be it's signature move, which would practically confirm Fennekin as being a future fighting type.
I really hope i'm wrong though... I might just end up going with Froakie.

Talonflame looks like a stronger fire type Pokemon to use early on than fennekin's unknown final evolution. It maybe better than Swanna in BW which has mediocre stats but useful move pool.

Maybe it can learn a fighting move and not be fire/fighting. I mean sku.ntank learns flamethrower without a tm at like level 35 and it's poison/dark

:/

You can't assume Fennekin is a fighting-type because it used a fighting-type move unless you know it gets STAB.

I think Froakie will just be water type.

[quote=Kalemora]Bubbles are a Water type thing from what I've seen, so it's not really telling anything new.[/quote]

Yeah, but bubbles float, so I can see GameFreak making it's evolutions' bios something along the lines of "uses the bubbles on it's body to fly" or something.

I mean, we don't know what the evolutions are like, after all.

[quote=Ness]Frog has a lot of its anatomy dedicated to bubbles.

I can see it perfectly fine.[/quote]

There's a first-gen water attack called "Bubble." It's more likely that the makers would use bubbles to reference a water type and not flying. And I gotta agree with Kalemora... a flying-type frog is very far fetched, even for pokemon

Chances are at least one of them will be a pure type.

how about fire/psychic grass/steel water/dark
i cant see them making a triangle balance starter that would be expecting too much from them
