Which starter will you choose?

[Worldrush]

Its really hard for me to pick who I want as a starter. I see so many people that like Rowelt and Litten, but not so many that like Poppio. I think back to when X/Y came out and I was in the same position with trying to see who to pick. Than someone leaked the evolution and I went with my starter from there. I think that before the game gets relessed we will know the evolutions and that will make a final choice for people. As of now I would pick Poppio. Its cute, a water type and I think may become something powerful.

When I went to pick up the Darkrai Code from EB Games, one of the staff members said she would like Litten.

for sure o will go with rowlet! Before the information was given i was playing pokemon sage demo there the grass starter has same typing and i wonder that in sun and moon also same typing of grass and flying shoukd come soooooo..... no option i will go for rowlet!

I vote for poplio because he might turn into a ice type in his later evolutions. and since rowlit is a grass/flying poplio will have some advantage if he has the ice type moves.

Even though I tend to gravitate to picking the fire type starters, at least in first-time playthroughs...I think that trend might be broken this time around. As of right now, I really want a Rowlet. It's an owl, I just can't resist.

Normally I'd go Fire > Grass > Water here but Litten as a gutsy, fluffy mammal Fire-type Pokemon seems over-done to me, we have Cyndaquil and Fennekin (close enough) and Litleo/Pyroar from Kalos and I'm not too hyped over the design. :/ It would be a toss-up between Popplio and Rowlet - it would depend on their evolutions. If Popplio ends up with a cool looking Walrein-esque final evolution, I'd pick it over the the other two, no question.

When I first saw the starters, I was a bit thrown off. Not only did they look odd, but they looked a bit similar to one or more of the fake leaks we had seen prior...

Over time though, they quickly grew on me. I quickly became a huge fan of Litten, I wasn't really sure of the other two, though. I was and still am not very big on Rowlet, but a little while after, Popplio grew on me, and I mean really grew on me. I looked at it one time and it just caught on to me how absolutely adorable it was! <3

Litten is absolutely my favorite, Popplio isn't too far behind, and Rowlet's kinda down there. Its design doesn't really do much for me. It's kinda cute and all, but I think I'd like it more if it were proportioned more like a normal owl than its "borb"esque shape. Who knows though, we've yet to see their evolutions, we may see 'em tomorrow, but as for now, and I think will be always the case, Litten is definitely my first choice in the first one I'm going to play, Moon. If I ever get to playing Sun, I'll undoubtedly pick Popplio!

I'd hate to jump on the bandwagon but I'd immediately choose Litten.
Rowlet has a chance, actually.
Popplio just looks plain ridiculous in my opinion but the evolutions could manipulate my views.

The edgy hot-topic cat has stolen my heart <3

Popplio's appeal to me is that it's design is rather simple when compared to Piplup and Oshawott (don't get me wrong, I love Piplup and learned to like Oshawott).

I saw some excellent fanart that convinced me of Litten's superiority.

I can understand you a lot there, it's like the starter designs are more simple-looking compared to most previous ones, but out of this trio Popplio really showcased the simplicity.

If Litten goes Fire/Dark, I'm picking it. Otherwise, they'll all probably just sit in my PC.

In the end it all depend on which Hidden ability and move set they get and also their stats.

There's always the chance all three could get an interesting type and/or good stats etc.

In the end it all depend on which Hidden ability and move set they get and also their stats.

I recall speculation over Popplio getting Swift Swim for a hidden ability since it can move fast in water. Rowlet could be something I see getting Aerilate or Gale Wings, especially if it's a physical attacker since every starter trio tends to have one physical, one special and one speedy mixed attacker. Rowlet could even switch it up a bit and be fast physical attacker.

 

[MarinoKadame]

Let's hope they get something more useful than what 2 of the 3 Kalos starters got.

Magician and Bulletproof were not that great compared to Protean.

 

[Sylveon]

I am definitely choosing Popplio, again mainly for the design (loving the circus vibe)

Water and Grass have always been my go to starters!

 

[EeveeGamer101]

#Rowlet4Ever! It's so cute and I love owls! It also seems like it'll be a nice addition to my team :)

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I can see Litten getting Intimidate. Popplio magic bounce. And Rowlet Gale Wings. If Rowlet gets Gale wings as it's HA it's popularity will solidify.

 

[FlyingShell]

Ehh.. I don't know.. Both are.. um.. not bad, but ya..
And the design of Litten is kinda lame.. :d
