Yep, I was leaning more towards Rowlet prior to the evolution reveal and now I'm all for Popplio.

Iceshadow3317 October 4th, 2016 5:34 PM

I know some will and I mean no offence by this, but I think people need to stop judging the starters based on there middle evolutions. It is extremely rare that the middle evolution looks better than the finals. At least that is how it is for me.

The only pokemon, to me, who have ever had better middle stages than finals are Frogider and Grovyle.

I actually really like Dartrix now that I look at it more. It still looks like an owl, the only thing is the hair. But all of that will go away if the concept arts are indeed true. And it is still possible for Split Evos. And if not Split evos, then we still have the secrete that each of the starters have.

Popplio has become my favorite of the three :) That evolved form is just so cute. Maybe the final forms will change my opinions again, but for now I'm team Popplio

Knyte October 4th, 2016 6:16 PM

As I said in a different post I'm still team Rowlett!! His evolution looks like a rebellious teenager emo with those bangs. XD
Litten's evo looks amazing. Plus he seems to have a stone of some kind (a hint to a philosopher's Stone perhaps?)
Not very impressed with Popplio's evo tho. I like Popplio still. :3
You think they're going for the Robin Hood thing with Rowlett? I wouldn't mind, but that Fearalith fan-art is just :O

Torracat is by far my favorite middle evo, but if it ends up being a wrestler I'll never ever evolve it :|

If that leak is true, Rowlet is still my choice.

Altairis October 4th, 2016 9:33 PM

Still not deciding until I see the final evolutions >.>

I really like Braixen, for example, but man, Delphox really ruined it. So I'm not gonna pick till I see the final evolution.

RetroPokeman October 4th, 2016 9:40 PM

Yes, seeing dartrix swayed me over to choosing rowlet.

Lunar October 5th, 2016 9:35 AM

It hasn't really influenced me at all, my first playthrough was always going to be with Litten and I love all three of the starter evolutions so I can't wait to try them all out!

Nakuzami October 5th, 2016 9:46 AM

Well, for me

Rowlet > Litten > Popplio
Dartrix > Torracat > Brionne
Leaked Rowlet Archer final > Leaked Litten Wrestler final > Leaked Popplio Mermaid final

So, uh, it's all been pretty consistent for me

Inky October 5th, 2016 10:20 AM

Naa, still going to choose Rowlet

XxNiqueoxX October 5th, 2016 11:49 AM

I hated the Popplio starter, and really liked the Rowlet, but now my opinion on the two have completely switched with their evos.

The Dartrix is kinda silly with its emo leaf and the Brionne is kinda cute with its weird water skirt.

Sabrewulf238 October 5th, 2016 12:02 PM

I really don't understand the emo comparisons.....aren't emos depicted with hair covering their eye?

You can see both of Dartrixs eyes clearly. If anything it's supposed to be a quiff on a flouncy snob Pokemon. It's website description even describes it as snobby.

ElBurrito October 5th, 2016 12:14 PM

The evolutions haven't changed my opinion. I've always chosen my starter based on the first stage, as that is the true starter. I didn't care much for litten or popplio (I can't stand the ears. Sea lions don't have floppy ears!), but after seeing the next stages I do like the litten line more. Even though I am going with Rowlet, I don't really like it's evolution. However if the leaks are real, then it's final stage is gonna be awesome. Popplio's line won't be so bad either, assuming the leaks turn out to be real.

manfromjohto October 5th, 2016 12:54 PM

I was always gonna choose Rowlet but Dartrix cemented that decision. But the other ones are great too and Brionne makes me want to use two starters this time, it's too adorable. Even if the leaks are legit I'm sure the in game models will look great.

EC October 5th, 2016 7:47 PM

Right, yeah, I lied before. Picking Popplio. All the hate it got made me sad, and then all the hate Brionne is getting is making me even more sad. I just want to give it a hug and train it to be a killer.

For me it was:

Rowlet > Popplio > Litten
Torracat > Dartrix > Brionne
Leaked Rowlet Archer > Leaked Popplio Siren > Leaked Litten stupidness

So there was a big reversal in the middle, I'm really hoping that the leaks will be wrong, although I love the archer I hate the wrestler so much.

It's definitely more of a fancy/snobbish hairstyle.

Anyone who calls it emo hair probably has no idea what they're talking about.

dudealmighty October 5th, 2016 9:06 PM

I'm still going to pick Litten but I really like what they did with Brionne and Dartrix. Not disappointed in these three at all.

Eden October 5th, 2016 9:56 PM

So far not disappointed with any of them. Started as Team Popplio, staying Team Popplio. Brionne's freakin adorable.

Frozocrone October 5th, 2016 10:19 PM

I'm still undecided between Litten and Rowlet.

Firox October 5th, 2016 11:05 PM

It improved it, hasn't changed my opinion!
I really love how Torracat looks like! loved it a lot more than Litten! can't wait to see the final evolution!
it's so cute and adorable! reminds me of one of my playful cats!
once again for me it was "Love at first sight!"
when I saw it in Amie, almost died from the cuteness!

Rowlett's evo also looks cute, might try it later, as usual for me, didn't liked the water too much either
still with Team Litten since the first time I saw them.

Me: Oh baby Dartrix let me just take the comb away just for a second so we can train on your moves.

Dartrix: NO! You couldn't possibly understand my intricate side leaf hairstyle. *continuously combs*

Me: >:O

Dartrix: FLOCK OFF! I'm not at my maxiumum 1000 comb stroke!!! >: C

Team Rowlett all the way! x'D

JoyStar October 6th, 2016 6:57 AM

Litten's still my choice after seeing the evos, though I do like Rowlet's too... I'll wait and see all the confirmed final evos before I make my decision, but I'm leaning toward Litten.

Entermaid October 6th, 2016 7:02 AM

Let's Brionnest, I was, am, and always will be team Popplio. Its evolutions went brionned my expectations.

This gif is SO CUTE.

I plan on using Rowlet eventually if the Chinese leaks are true... but I don't really like the middle stage, honestly. It looks really emo :(
