Diancie is definitely my favorite. The other two are awkward to me, Diancie is very beautiful, adorable, and graceful looking :3
It's definitely gotta be Diancie in terms of looks, with Volcanion being second. As for Hoopa, well... I'm just not really fond of its design, to be honest. Looks sort of freaky.

I actually like Volcanion and Hoopa better. I guess Volcanion is a mix of volcano and canyon, Hoopa's gotta be an uncreative name based off the fact that it wears "hoops".
Still, Hoopa is more my kind of cute. It reminds me of Banette, another pokémon whose design I love.
Hoopa definitely gives me that Shuppet/Banette (especially Banette's mega evo) vibe. Hoopa's name is the most fun to say of the three but its name or design should've been tweaked. I'm guessing those hoops are going to be significant? As for Volcanion, does it even resemble a volcano? Or is its name derived from a similar word? I keep associated the -ion at the end of its name with actual ions but I accidentally typo'd ions into lions just now, so maybe it's a mix of volcano and lion :P
It'll be interesting to hear more about the lore surrounding these new pokémon. And why they chose to put them in a region inspired by France... You would have thought the "three musketeer" legendaries, Cobalion etc, fit better here than in a region based off New York.
But legendary trios/event never have any association with the real life counterpart of their native region (and if they do I'd say it's more of a coincidence). So far Diancie's lore isn't sounding very impressive. It was the result of a Carbink that "suddenly transformed." How that transformation gave Diancie the ability to play a major role in the upcoming movie is beyond my imagination. I wonder what new power(s) were obtained from the transformation.
