popplio isn't necessarily "ugly", but man should i say- brionne and the final evolution are some of the wierdest and ugliest pokemon. imagine a male brionee, or whatever the final evolution is called- that would be stupid. but this is just my opinion, so dont get pissed off.

i agree with cutiefly. litten looks ugly. its evo looks almost as ugly. its final looks beast.

We have male Gardevoir, female Machamp, male Ninetails, male Milotic, male Gothitelle, male Sylveon...
Pokemon's gender doesn't matter except for breeding and a strategic game with attract.


My first thought about Poplio was soo bad haha it was the worst starter ever for me! But now, it isn't that bad at all :3 I like its evolution too. They are cute and I am so glad Brionne isn't a clown!

Don't get me wrong, the Pokémon is far from ugly, in fact I find it very beautiful and quite cute. But that is probably the reason I dislike it. Personally I've never really liked Pokémon that looked overly feminine or masculine e.g Gardevior is a pretty good Pokémon overall but I've never found it aesthetically pleasing. If the Pokémon looked more androgynous I would have probably liked it better. It's a shame really, since the water starters were always my favourite. But who knows, it might be good competitively and people might learn to overlook it's appearance.

I hope to Arceus it doesn't get used constantly in competitive play. We already have way too many stupid-looking Pokemon that are sadly being used all the time (Ex. Ferrothorn, Forretress, Rotom-W, and the one and only Landorus-Therian).

When the starters were first revealed Litten was my favorite and I had a great dislike for Popplio because it was based on a clown (I don't like clowns probably due to watching IT as a very young child). Though that changed when those concept art leaked and I saw Litten's final evo and instantly hated it. I liked Popplio's final evo cause it didn't look like a clown and I'm starting to warm up to Popplio now.

I find it hilarious how at first there was a thread complaining about Popplio being too hated, but now there is a thread complaining about Popplio being too liked. How times change.

Despite Popplio being my fav of the 3 new starters, I wasn't as offended by the OP as everyone else, as after all, he has an opinion too. As for Litten, its probably my least fav of the 3 but I still like it nevertheless, tbh. I'm not that big on it's evo, as to me, it looks like simply a bigger version of it, but I do like it's bell. I wasn't expecting the starter middle evos as a whole to look particularly amazing anyway, all I care about are their final evos.

i used to LOVE rowlet, but after i saw the final evolution leak, my heart dropped. it had a pretty average design. after dartrix, my feelings are mixed up. though litten is sheer ugly, it's final evoultion is awesome. now i dont no which one to pick.

Mr. Meme October 17th, 2016 4:46 AM

One thing I can't help but notice is that people are talking about how they certain love/hate starters because of the "leaked final evos".

Guys, you do realize those are just leaks, right? Not saying they aren't real, but they aren't 100% guaranteed. Or did Pokemon release a statement/video I haven't caught up on? If not, then don't gush or ignore a starter because of a leak with no confirmation or backing by neither Nintendo, Game Freak, or the Pokemon Co.

classiccartoonsftw October 17th, 2016 4:51 AM

I must say, Popplio is my least favourite of the Alola starters. Those ears look so weird on it, in my opinion. Then Brionne came along and made things even worse for me.

Litten is my favourite of the three, and Torracat only amplified my love for it. And unlike most people, I love its leaked final evo, and the possibility that the leaked starter evos will become reality makes me super excited for it to start its existence.

But at the end of the day, everyone has their own opinions, just as pretty much everyone else here has said before.

w1f1pa55w0rd October 17th, 2016 4:52 AM

yeah, but looking at them now, it seems almost certain that they really are the final evolutions, but, i really, really hope that your'e right, cause i want to choose rowlet no matter what, AND i think he needs a really cool/cute final evolution

The reason a lot of people are believing the leaked art is that it features Mallow who was revealed in a trailer much later after the concept art leaked. Trust me I would've agreed with you before that trailer came out, but now it has a bit more credibility.

There hasn't been any official confirmation, but when there's a character on the concepts that actually became a character in the games and all of the mid-evos somehow point to those final evos, then you can probably assume they're real.

Gandhi Savage October 17th, 2016 12:43 PM

Woah you really don't like Popplio! I was in the same boat at first though because usually I'm Water-type exclusive for the starter on my first playthrough (apart from Cyndaquil that thing is amazing!) and I thought 'there's no way I'm picking this thing - it sucks! I thought it was ugly and didn't even look like a Pokémon but it really has grown on me so, so much. I thought Litten was the best when the starters were first revealed but now I think it's just super bland and generic looking so I don't think its for me. Rowlet is adorable and I even bought a hoodie with a crossover design of Rowlet and Drake's OVO clothing line and I love it to bits. That being said I think I'll shoot for Popplio on my first playthrough anyway. If the supposed leaks of the final evolutions are real then I'll playthrough the game at least three times cause I think this is the best set of starter evolutions we've gotten in a long time.

I have the exact same opinion. Preferably, I would like Litten's 3rd form to be a quadrupedal fire tiger, but the leaked design looks just fine.

Imperator161 October 17th, 2016 9:24 PM

I'm not a huge fan of Popplio's evolution line, but I don't really like the leaks of the various final-stage evolutions for any of the starters. Then again, I haven't really liked the starters' final-stage designs much since gen 4, so my expectations weren't that high to begin with. That being said, I always start with the water starter in my main file, so I do plan on starting with Popplio. I assume it will probably grow on me like Greninja did last generation.

Popplio is cute, but I think all of the first stage starters are cute. I think it'll be hard to predict which one is actually most popular until we start the game, find out the base stats, etc. Last generation, I remember a lot of people being excited about the fire line at first, but jumping ship to Froakie once Delphox was revealed. So we'll have to see what happens.

Some data miners have discovered that the leaked final evolutions are real. If I have to be honest, I couldn't be happier with it. Litten's final evo looks super badass, Rowlet's final evo looks pretty cool, and Popplio's final evo is beautiful and the best thing to come out of the Popplio line. But if Litten had evolved into a quadrupedal tiger or panther, I would've been fine with that too.

Y'know, when I saw the pose for Litten's final form from the data mining, I actually went from liking it to loving it. Why?

Because when I saw his face, I realized how much it resembled Garfielf from Fist of the B0rf Star, a tippity top meme, as well as a surprisingly well-written parody of a parody.

After seeing the new starter final form leaks and then the thread about Litten's final evo, it seems clear that I'm the only one I've seen to think Popplio's final evo is the most amazing looking among the 3 leaked final evos...

Where are the Popplio choosers when I need them.
