Rowlet, Litten, or Popplio?

[Sheep 27]

Based solely on first impressions, which do you think you will/would pick? I might check back again later when the final evos are released to gauge how much the opinions of the community have changed. For now though I'm just interested to know.

I think they're all adorable and I'm still undecided. I tend to have a Water bias with starters (I picked Water in 4/6 regions and Fire in the other two), but I could see myself using any of these three and possibly even making a file for each, which I haven't done since RSE.

I'm most likely gonna go for Litten. Especially since I haven't chosen a fire starter for long while

[Aurorix 31]

420 Litten erryday

[Bearadactyl Prime 31]

Popplio, Water Starter Master Race.

Rowlet for me please.

[Combat 62]

I'm going to need to see some of the final forms first. Assuming that Suns legendary is fire type, I'll probably go for one of the other two just to prevent having a overbearing fire based party,

[Skullkin 14]

Depending on the final forms, either Rowlet or Litten for me.

But based soley on first evos? ...hm, since Pyroar and sun legend are already fire cats, I think I'll go with the owl with the grass bowtie. x3

POPOPOPOPOPPLIO FOR LIFE!

I like birbs, so Rowlet it is for me.

There's also the fact that I find the other two pretty underwhelming.

I am digging Koo and Bark the most, but I wanna see some more of the gem 7 roster before I choose. I almost exclusively use Pokemon from the new gen during my first play thoughs of the newer games. I.e. The only non gen 6 Pokemon I used in my play though of X were Haxorus and Charizard.

SELF IMMOLATING KITTEN!!! x3

[Xiri 101]

POPPLIO! But Rowlet looks pretty cool too... urgh touch choices

...definitely not the Female Meowstic wannabe tho

[Lilleen 10]

Maybe Litten or Rowlet.

I don't really like the water one. It reminds me of Oshawott, which reminds me of how strange the stage from Dewott to Samurott is.

[Jacobliterator 2]

Litten kinda has that Dr Eggman style moustache going on, but....imma go with Rowlet. It's a cute little grass birb. Plus, I'm kinda curious about Leafage.

[BIGJRA 133]

It's gonna be sooooo LIT(ten). I'm hoping for Fire/Dark or something like that, but it'll be cool (as long as it doesn't evolve into Blaziken)

[mde2001 236]

Anything except for Litten. Litten looks really bad to me tbh...

I'm currently leaning towards popplio, but Rowlet is awesome as well.

I feel you on the Litten end, only one I don't like. Considering I've chosen the grass starter every gen except 6 (lord save me from the monstrosity that was chespin line), I am definitely going to pick Rowlet!

[Lugruf 50]

Always grass type. Go Rowlet!

[Alextron 28]

Litten is the obvious choice.

I rate 11/10

[wayfinder 0]

Gonna wait until i see some stats. I typically chose the fastest starter. I had few occasions where i didn't(oras) but i normally go the fastest starter. But based on design i think i might go with rowlet just because birds are typically fast compared to the lion and seal. But it could end up being litten that is the fastest but i'm only judging off of design.

[Ironbound 110]

I will go for whatever is most competitively viable. But since you said based only on first impressions...

It had a leaf bowtie. Fancy points give it the win.

Though the cat will probably be a beast competitively, BC it will likely be a Dark Tiger. I still like BWARK, though!

Aaargh, I am not usually indecisive, but they all have their merits!

[Masquerain 6]

Let's copy le other forums and post lists of our starter history along with our Alola choice! Well I feel liek doin it anyway so -shrug-

According to only the games I owned/played:

R/FR: Charmander

Y: Pikachu

GC/S: Cyndaquil/ Totodile (once in Silver)

SS: Cyndaquil

R/E: Mudkip/Treecko

OR: Treecko

D/PT: Chimchar

B/W2: Oshawott/Snivy

Y: Froakie

And for Sun Moon..... Well, I don't know which game I'm going with first , I'll end up playing both anyway but for starters.. Since we don't know their evos yet, if I really have to be honest, my very first reaction to 1st view of the starters was :

But as the trailer went on, my immediate reaction change was first towards Rowlet, so I gotta say, that's probably my favorite one based on first forms. I did, however, vote for Litten because I think that's what I'd pick in the end as the little cat grew on me after a while. Needless to say, my final choice will depend on the final evos, but for now #TeamLitOwl ( team little?)

I can't stand the water thing though, I hope for its sake it gets good evos

[Sohn der Höhe 1]

Designwise, Rowlet. Litten is a bit plain and Popplio.. well, I don't want to offend anyone. But in the end their stats and final evolutions will decide it for me.
