Which starter will you choose?

[Spinosaurus]

Look if you're not picking Rowlet, you're not winning at life.

Cutest bord.

I wanted to go with the Grass starter this time around, but Grass/Flying is an even worse typing than just Grass, so nope.

Not sure which one I'll pick between Litten and Popplio. I'll need to see evolutions first.

I can't wait for Fire/Fighting cat

 

[Orcaline]

Absolutely Rowlet, it's adorable. No question.


Popplio is growing on me - was meh when I first saw it, but I actually quite like it now. Litten just looks so... Bland, I guess. Meh.

 

[Spinosaurus]

My issue with Popplio is that it's way, way too on the nose. There's no subtlety whatsoever.

Compare it with Froakie who goes with its given theme better while having its own identity. Popplio on the other hand is obvious on an obnoxious level and comes across as generic.

Shame, cuz I typically like Water starters. I'm disappointed, especially coming from inspired designs like the Froakie and Piplup line. (I'll give points to Oshawott line for the samurai influence too, even if I'm not a fan of the execution)

 

[Angelroid]

I'd say Rowlet as my starter.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I am picking Litten because FIRE CATS

 

[illumine]

I'm surprised that Litten is so unpopular. Nevertheless, I'll pick it!

#TeamLitten for refined people. Far better than Edward Cullen, who is the only other respectable choice for starter here. Verily is it said:

#TeamLitten, you voted for Litten.
I swear revenge on the owl.
The owl must die.

I saw a "reblog if you're picking this starter" for each of the three starters on tumblr and last time I checked Litten was leading, although Rowlet wasn't that far behind him.

Poor Popplio wasn't getting many reblogs, it's like Oshawott all over again.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Don't bully bord. It's the greatest of all time.

Meanwhile, marine clown.

 

[Blastin'Tyruntz]

OMG They are so adorable this is kind of wild!
I mean first you have the freaking gentleman Owl with the leaf bow-tie and that round figure and all that owly goodness
Then you have a freaking Fire-type Tiger, which looks like everything I secretly wished Litleo to be...and he's even better.
Then you have that derpy Clown seal Water-type cutie, doing fucking water tricks...IDK MANNN I can't vote yet.
Like, My favorite type is fire so Litten, but the one that caught my eye the most was Rowlet and it's like 5th gen all over again, but them bubbles though so maybe Popplio...GOD DAMNNNN choices!

 

[Hikamaru]

I came across a post on Tumblr that is comparing the markings on Litten's head to the symbol of Satan. No wonder why I'm speculating it will become a Dark-type.

 

[Pepperton]

#TeamPopplio. Looks extremely similar to a fakemon I saw on deviantart a while ago and absolutely adored. Barring some terribly designed evolutions (or some ridiculously awesome third stage owl/cat) I'll be going with the best seal Pokemon :]

Popplio is my favorite! I love how derpy it is and the fact that it uses water balloons as a battle strategy. Fingers crossed that we can teach it Ice Beam XD

 

[Sword Master]

Rowlet for the moment, wasn't blown away with the starters, but probably warn up to them.

 

[viciousvictini]

It's harsh choosing only 1 of these greatly designed pokemon...

I would like Rowlet but seeing as this is a too much water region,I have to go with Popplio. It is certainly one of the cutest water starters since forever ago.

I'm pretty sure it can, since nearly every Water-type learns it. Becoming Water/Ice in its evolutions also seems likely.

Please Game Freak don't do this. That would be so redundant. Mono water or something else, just no Ice.

I can understand if some people want difference, but I think we're more concerned about Fire/Fighting Litten evolutions than Water/Ice Popplio evolutions. I can't really connect any other types to Popplio so staying pure Water could be possible, but it would likely be viewed as the boring one if that were the case, especially if Litten gains a secondary type.

 

[Spinosaurus]

If Popplio is gonna end up part Ice you could potentially get an Ice type while you're still playing the first half of the game for the first time. (no one picked Amaura)

Which means it's not gonna happen. Because Ice types are too good or something.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Water Pokemon bias is still in me, so I'm going with Poppolio in my first play through. I'll also go with Rowlet not only because it's cute, but as a Fly slave.
