The game currently features 12 characters, with the addition of this newest Pokemon the total goes up to 13. But with the Japanese console release date of March 18, 2016 looming, fans should hope to get an idea of the final roster size soon.

I'm calling it, it'll be Gekogashira (Frogadier) which can evolve into Greninja, and change into Satoshi-Greninja.

Not likely, Frogadier is actually already a support Pokemon

[Sakitoshi]

I'm hoping for Raichu or Flygon, but I think Hydreigon or Florges are more likely.
