Since there's threads for Rowlet (@colours) & Popplio (@magicmed), I thought Litten deserved some love :)

So feel free to express your opinion on Litten! Why or why not do you like it? What are you expecting from Litten? ^^ (I'm personally Team Litten ;) )

For me, I'm curious about Litten's typing. Unlike Rowlet & Popplio, Litten still doesn't have a direction of what dual-type it'll be (if it is dual-typed).
Since Rowlet is Grass/Flying and Popplio is most likely becoming a Water/Fairy atm from learning Disarming Voice, there's been no indication what Litten could be.
The theory of Litten being a Fire/Fighting or Fire/Ground type from the extra images from the Pokemon website has been shot down from 1)the order of the types, where Litten is just a pure Fire type 2)Popplio learning a Fairy-type move when it was said to be a Water/Fighting type.

Actually, someone tried that type thing with the legendaries and found that the legendary types were out of order themselves. Irc Solgaleo's Steel typing came after Lunala's Ghost... So obviously the that doesn't disprove Litten from being Fire/Fighting or even Fire/Ground.

Also, Popplio knowing a fairy move might be as significant as Chespin being shown to know rollout early in XY's trailers...

I admit the whole typing debacle for Litten is what's intriguing me about the cat at the moment, with speculation leaning towards what possible additional types it may gain with evolution - Ground, Rock, Dark, Poison and some even dreading the infamous Fire/Fighting.

The sulfur marking on its forehead was one of the first hints towards alchemy being a notable theme of the games, given it's easier to notice than Rowlet being based on salt and Popplio based on mercury. Personally I'm leaning for Dark, but maybe when the middle stages get revealed I could get an idea as to what it could become.

I hope litten stays on all fours, gets tiger stripes , and has fiery tipped big ears in the final evolution
I am expecting a tiger from Litten, given the Chinese Zodiac theme with the Fire-type starters. However, I do feel Game Freak will troll us and have our Fire starter go bipedal again, and I don't understand why none of the Fire starters stayed on all fours as of their final evolution, even the ones that weren't the infamous Fire/Fighting combination.

That shiny litten looks siiick
The issue is that shinies aren't usually what we expect so it's likely that may not be Litten's actual shiny. There were images of a red Popplio circling around but they were written off as fake.

I think a blue shiny Litten would be cool, with its red markings being replaced with a blue colouring.

Litten is the Alola starter I have the highest hopes for. I mean, a fire cat? Hell yeah! I hope it becomes Fire/Dark, though I'd also be cool with Fire/Poison or even Fire/Fighting. But please no Fire/Rock or Fire/Ground! And finally, if it became bipedal, I'd love it! But staying on all fours would also be okay.

7 of the 17 Pokemon that learn Disarming voice through level up aren't Fairy types, and don't become fairy types.
If you add in breeding, then 12 of the 22 Pokemon that learn disarming voice are not fairy type.
Throw in evolutions and out of the 30 Pokemon that can learn disarming voice through either breeding or level up at some point in their evolutionary line, 20 are not, and do not become fairy type.

Essentially, far too much is being read into a small detail.

Litten is easily my favourite of the three. Obviously things change once we see the evolution, right now though I find it adorable!

Right now, I'm kinda wondering whether or not Litten is going to get a generic evolution. What do you guys think? This isn't meant to throw shade at it or anything, but I'm going to be disappointed if it evolves into just a bigger cat. I hope GameFreak can think out of the box for this one.
i'd find it funny if it evolves into

Most cat Pokemon usually evolve into a bigger cat with very little change in design so that's what I fear for Litten's evolution but knowing Game Freak they'll probably make it more tiger-like (heck, Chinese Zodiac pattern anyone? Litten is the tiger, duh) and there might be another unexpected thing they'll do here because starters take a lot of time to design so they have to make them unique in a way.

Litten is the one I like less. It's bit boring... This face without any expressions, the body of a regular cat..

It is the starter I am most excited about the future evolutions. Because I want to see if they can impress me, if I can now really like Litten.
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<

I've already decided to choose Popplio as my starter, but that may change if the Pokémon Gods will bless us a revelation of the starter's final evolutions.

Anyway, I like how...serious and unfun Litten looks. :P

fire type starters always turn into something know for being a huge force.
GEN 1: charmander into charizard, one of the first dragon pokemon(even though it didn't get the type til 6th gen via mega stone)
GEN 2: cyndaquil into typhlosion, which is pretty much a wolverine; an animal known for having strength & ferocity out of per-portion
GEN 3: torchic into blaziken, or as i like to call it megaultrachicken. it seems to be a hybrid of the sun god Ra, a phionex & a tengu.
GEN 4: chimchar into infernape which is most likely based on son goku, the monkey king who was sealed by the gods after going out of control in journey to the west
GEN 5: tepig which turns into emboar, which is based on a military commander from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
GEN 6: fenniken into delfox, which seems to be a mix of a fox, an oracle of delphi & a witch or magician with a bit of hawaiian fire dancer
so what ever it evolves into will be something known for being a force to be reckoned with.
also their not gonna go making the starter look too much like the mascot unless it was the mascot, which hasn't been done outside of gen 1 games & remakes of those games, or has some relation to the mascot which hasn't been done before
Solgaleo is based on the alchemical symbol of the green lion devouring the sun, relating to the notion of purifying metals and looks a bit like liger zero from zoids, only more cosmic & lion-like
this brings us back to the 4 guardian thing & the starters +1 hidden secret and my theories on it

Don't forget that in the Zodiac legend there was a thirteenth animal which was the cat, it ended up losing it's spot thanks to the Rat telling it that the race was the next day. It'll be interesting if Cyndaquil is available in SM like how Charmander was in XY. Litten will want to kill/eat Cyndaquil for taking it's spot (funny thing is that Cyndaquil isn't even a real rat xD)... (that part of the zodiac legend was used to explain why cats eat rats). Litten does kind of has a dull/sleepy look to it... could be a reference to the cat in the legend sleeping in...

funny you should mention the cursed cat of the zodiac

ignoring all the saitenist crap that was clearly tauros crap, this gen seems to be very alchemy based with a mix of other mythos.
also, we might just be the villain this time around...

So far, I'm #TeamLitten. I love the Pokemon's design, and am happy with the idea of a cat starter, as I own a cat. However, if it becomes Fire/Fighting, I'm not gonna play the game with it. I hope it's Fire/Poison when it evolves that'd be interesting.
