No the only thing that could make it decent is the coverage moves, it's almost the single major problem all ice types have that they have the offensive move selection of a slightly retarded Wobbuffet.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the last part. But I get what you mean.
Rock Ice is definitevely a good Offensive type : SE against Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice, Ground, Grass, Dragon types. Only types who resist both Stab is Steel I think.
Defensively, baaaaaad. Weak to Fighting (*4), Steel (*4), Rock, Ground, Grass, Water

that froakie evo looks slick, maybe we'll actualy get a fast water starter this time
a Ice Fake Out ... an Ice Body Slam ... Ice Explosion ? Ice Trash (like Outrage) ? Ice Retaliate ? Ice Facade (without Guts :() Even Ice Giga Impact !
In regards to Chespin's evolution, Gamefreak where are you going with this...
Chespin evo looks like Pignite !!!
Fennekin evo has tiny arms = NO FIGHTING TYPE !
Froakie Evo is very slim !

Why Garchomp of all Pokemon over showing some more starters? That'd definitely had been a lot interesting. Ah well.
Anyways if mega evolutions require you to be faster than the opponent/switch out then Mega Chomp may end up being pretty balanced, which is the one that makes sense so....but if they say screw speed I'm megaevolving before you attack then yes basically almost all mega evolutions are broken as a messed up watch.

Chespin's evo looks absolutely horrible. Chespin was going to be my first starter in Y, but after looking at that thing... I can only imagine how the final evo will look like, even more fat and defensive.
And of course it's going to be a defensive Grass/Dark when it's fully evolved, so even worse than Meganium? Fuck.
The other two starter evo's look amazing though. I like Froakie's evo the most. It's actually how I wanted the evolution to turn out, slick and speedy-looking. Fennekin's evo looks interesting too, wonder if the twig will have a bigger role when it's fully evolved.

Gengar can use its STABs!!!!!!
They get pretty good coverage now that Poison hits Fairy and Ghost hits steel.

To me it looks like Chespin found one of Mario's P-Balloons from Super Mario World...
Loving Froakie's 1st stage evo! Also, with the info on Psycho Cut for Fenniken's evo, it seems to point to it possibly having a psychic type in its final form, particularly with Psybeam from before. Most starters before gained an extra type in their 1st stage if any, but then there's Charizard with flying, though that's for obvious reasons there.
I'm choosing froakie sorry fennekin.
Echoing the words on Chespin's evolution. I think it's rivalling Pignite in the contest for "worst middle stage starter evolution ever".
Fennekin's evolution looks... well, if anything it reminds me of Lucario. Doesn't look like a Fighting type, though, which I'd salute loudly if I hadn't been sitting in class at the moment. And what's up with the twig in its tail?
And then Froakie's. Oh my, that thing has class. Quick and nimble, and knowing it. Look at its bubbly scarf, blowing in the wind behind it. Look at the simple colour scheme, completely devoid of messy patterns. Whereas Froakie looked slightly awkward, its evolution is just elegant.

I'm hoping it gains a witch-like appearance in its final evolution with the twig becoming the handle for a broomstick tail. I think a witch final evolution would be pretty cool. :)
I actually like Pignite and Chespin 2nd stage ! Goofy, Fatty, its cute ! :D
