Based on the design of Braixen, Fennekin's middle evolution, I'm betting it's either Fire/Psychic or Fire/Fairy.

Indeed, my guess is Fire/Fairy, Grass/Steel, and Water/Flying.

I agree, but it may also be Water/Dark. Especially if the talk about the three starters being based off the traditional RPG classes "Knight", "Wizard" and "Theif".

I don't think that Frogadier looks like a Dark type. The design, to me, looks more aerodynamic than anything else. Combined with the cloud-like parts, and my instinct is that we're going to get something inspired by the same thing as Zephos and Cyclos from Zelda: Wind Waker for the fully-evolved form... but with a little more of a sense of speed rather than the bulk of Zephos and Cyclos.

I don't see why it would need to be Knight, Wizard, and Thief (besides which, they naturally go with the Fighting/Psychic/Dark triangle). The pairings I suggested carry more of a feel of the classic strategy game trio of ranged, close-combat, and aerial units (although the typings aren't perfect, and don't form a type triangle).
