We know it's tied to the starters, but there's no way it's a 4th starter. So what if Rockruff evolves depending on what starter you chose? For example, if you chose Rowlet, it would evolve into a Rock/Grass type. We know something like this can be done as Pancham only evolves if there's a dark type in the team.
It's a regular pokemon you encounter early in your game. There is nothing special about him, he is not tied to the starters or anything like that.

Or what if Rockruff isn't a special fucking snowflake and the secret is actually shared among all four of them?

>he is not tied to the starters
Wrong. It is official that the four of them "share a secret".
>>26985574
>Evolves into your starter's type
>Not covering your starter's weakness
>>26985603
The secret actually is shared between the four of them.
>>26985598
There actually is something special about it because they've specifically stated it has a secret alongside the starters.
Popplipo = Water
Litten = Fire
Rowlet = Air
Rockruff = Earth
They're the four elements
>>26985609
It's not even that, it's just that all four "have a secet to them"

HOLY SHIT

that, and the fact that it would be the easiest thing in the world to program. even if gamefreak didn't have a system in place that did this, im sure they aren't that retarded.

>>Earth, Fire, Air, Water
..... Heart?

"Vivillion holds the secret to the kalos region"
Nothing happens with vivillion in game
What makes this different?
>>26991312
Holy shit
Rockruff is the Physical version of Eevee.
>>26991312
The secret is the regional differences, appropriate for a pokemon introduced in a region all about vanity

GO PLANET!

>yfw Rockruff evolves into a Rock type with a rock stone
>>26985574
It may be something like this but I'd be inclined to think it would be more like the way the monkeys are given to you in Gen V.
For instance you're saying if you pick Litten you'll get a Rock/Fire Rockruff evolution. I'm saying it's more likely if you pick Litten you'll get a Rock/Grass Rockruff evolution. In other words it will help you beat the rival who has the starter with the type advantage against yours.
