I just wanted to point out that the image in the leak actually calls Litten's final form Fire/Dark, not Fire/Fighting.
I doubt any of it is true, but I really want Litten to become Fire/Dark and Popplio to become Water/Fairy, so I'm keeping my hopes up.
I pre-ordered both games from Amazon and got (I think) a total of $12 (U.S.) off. It may or may not have been because I'm an Amazon Prime member. I still would like a figure or something, but discounts are always appreciated :)
Also, they could just allow us to rename traded Pokemon. Potentially offending people wouldn't be as big of a deal if those people weren't stuck with the names.
Of course, it would be great if they let us do that anyway. It annoys me when I Wonder Trade and get a Pokemon I want to keep, but I...
I thought they did update the censorship to be more lenient? I have Pokemon named Violet and Spike, which I know were blocked before.
But yeah, I'm anti-censorship. I just don't see the point in not allowing us to use certain words. There are usually letters or symbols we can use to bypass...
I did my list based on the Pokemon overall, not just the initial forms. As such, I left out the Alola starters. I'll comment at the end.

Hopefully! Or it could just end up looking like a big, beefy bodybuilder clown o_O
They should focus on its acrobatic abilities. I like acrobats. Acrobats never hurt anyone.
I think all three starters are pretty cute. My only real problem with Popplio is that I HATE CLOWNS. I hope they don't lean too heavily on that with its evolutions.
For me, it's just a matter of preference. I don't play competitively, so 4x weaknesses don't bother me too much. I'm just not very fond of ground and fighting types in general, though there are some exceptions.
Water and Dark are my favorite types, so I'm always going to be excited over a...
On the website, the order of the images is: Grass, Flying, Ground, Fire, Water, Fighting.
Maybe Ground is intended for Litten, but the order indicates that it's probably for Rowlet.
If the typings are real, that would be pretty disappointing.
I was really hoping Litten would be Fire/Dark. That would have sealed it as my favorite of the three starters. Still, the only other pure Fire-type starter is Typhlosion, and I would definitely take that over Fire/Ground or...
My biggest dislike, aside from how easy the game is, is the censorship. I couldn't even nickname my Chespin "Spike." It's ridiculous and completely unnecessary. It's not like kids don't swear.
If the big wigs are really so concerned about vulgarity, then just prevent Pokemon with vulgar...
I just got an email from Amazon that my games shipped out today, so I should have them on Monday. That's a full three days earlier than I expected to get them! I'm psyched.
