No one seems to like the new Water starter. Will it eventually be vindicated, as was Froakie with its final form?
>>
>>26238203
Froakie was liked since its reveal newfag, this abortion is oshawott level of retardness.
>>
doubtful, unless you like bipedal seal-clowns.
>>
They all seem equally popular this time around.
>>
I like it.

>not wanting a seal that trolls the shit out of everyone with suffocation balloons
>>
The seal looks 10x better than the cat desu

Owl looks better than both though
>>
>>26238203
all of them are great, it's just that I like Litten better
>>
I was froakie since day one,
>>
>>26238203
I like him and he's going to be the first Water starter I pick.
>>
>>26238203
I like all the starters a lot actually and I think water starter has the best name. Popplio is goofy as shit and I love it.
>>
>>26238463

lol no popularity is Litten > owl >> Seal
>>
I honestly love its design. But i'm partial to water types myself
>>
>>26239017
It's actually Rowlet>Litten>Polio
http://www.strawpoll.me/10175454/r
>>
I think it has a cool theme.

I feel the later evos would break or save it.
>>
better question:

which one will Ash get?
>>
>>26239298
Popplio for sure, the new girl will have Rowlet.
>>
I'm partial to water types, so Poppolio is at the top of my list right now. It's an okay design, better than Oshawott imo, but still one of my least favorite water starters. Hopefully the final evolution will be kickass.
>>
>>26238203
Why does the seals nose look like a penis?
>>
I like it, but not as much as I like the owl (way better than fake owl desu).

While the fake fire starter looked like a turd, the cat is pretty mediocre too.

It all depends on the final evos, but currently I'll likely pick Rowlet
>>
>>26239367
I was thinking Popplio would be more suited to be the joke mon of the region that doesn't evolve
(Corphish, Piplup, Oshawott, Chespin).

Personally I think he'll get Rowlett
>>
The ugliest starter always becomes the best and the nice starter becomes ugly (see froakie, or chespin and tepig that become ugly)
>>
I work as a clown, so excited to see a clown Pokemon that isn't wierd Mr mime.
>>
>>26238203
I mean, I sorta like it. Its design is kinda weird, but I don't think it's awful.
>>
>>26239237
This.

It has great potential. I'm really curious as to what it will evolve into. The evolutions will be the deciding factor for me between Rowlet and Popplio. I really can't choose between them.

It's gonna take a whole redesigned final evolution to make that clown hat it's got for a nose look good.
>>
>>26238463
No, Owl is clearly more popular
>>
Just going by the fan art, Litten is the run-away favorite thus far. 90% of the fan art of just one of the trio is Litten. Feels like the only time I see Rowlet and Popplio is when an artist draws all three together in one picture.

I was there, and I can confirm Froakie was the most disliked started since day one. Everyone was rooting for the Chespin because of hipsters and others were adoring Fennekin because MUH FURRY WAIFU.

I always pick the water starter and I'm dissapointed with this one.

That doesn't make it less of a retarded and objectively bad design decision.

What if the clown looks intimidating?

Not Steven Kings 'IT' levels, but wacky enough to be a clown, but tough enough that you wouldn't mess with it.

Froakie was always a close second up until it seized first after we saw the final forms, and Chespin was always dead last, its fans were just the loudest.

Contrary to popular belief, many people DO use the word Objectively in a proper way. You are not one of them.

Objectively bad design in this case would be having the seal be inspired by Clowns, yet not having any clown features. I don't even like the seal, but that doesn't mean it's a shit design, it's merely a pretty ridiculous one that i can't take seriously.
>>
>>26241108
Chespin is shit and Chesnaught is a fucking abomination.

I am sill hopeful that Chesnaught and Delphox gets nerfed and Greninja gets buffed to teach Chesnaughtfags and Delphoxfags who their betters are.

Who the fuck is the artist now, why are they hiring whoever it is to turn out this garbo. I dont understand pokemon had a specific artstyle , they couldn't fucking copy it?

I think Greninja spoiled me. I was always used to having unpopular bros, so when people were booing Froakie, i dealt with it and payed it no mind. But then Greninja became one of the most popular pokemon ever and landed himself in all the right spots. I don't think i'll ever feel as much hype for anything as i did when he was revealed for Smash anymore. He had already become my favorite pokemon and i deperately wanted him in smash, but i thought it was literally impossible due to time constraints. I was fully mindblown when it actually happened. It feels so incredible.

I immediately thought they all looked like shit. I honestly thought Fennekin was the most passable of the bunch, but of course its evolutions are pure titanium cancer. Quilladin is shit, and Chesnaught is pretty cool. Frogadier and Greninja I'd probably put in the same tier of greatness.

Who the hell do you think won in the Barbarians vs Ninjas Splatfest popularity wise?

Certainly not Barbarians and they only won in the end against the Ninja side due to the bad players influx in contrast to the Barbarian side, this shit happens every time, popular side hardly never wins.

For one, he can actually unravel and retract the tongue, as it has been shown in multiple media. I think it's mostly seen scarfed because it's the way most people are used to seeing it.

In terms of ninja scarf representation, i think it makes perfect sense. Most people tend to forget that his tongue is an actual part of his body which he can control. Not only does it add the common red-ish scar color in ninjas, but this scarf isn't merely a piece of cloth; It is fully prehensile, insanely strong, retractable and combat ready, therefore making even more sense overall. You just need to see it as an actual limb. You wouldn't say legs are useless because you can theoretically step on shit, trip on a rock or have them be vulnerable to injury. And to Greninja using his tongue has got to be as natural as it is for use to use our arms.

Oh wait, there's none. That's because people started giving him a chance when the much reviled Quilladin was revealed and Frogadier became a more acceptable choice. Then Greninja was revealed and literally everyone jumped ship.

>The first line

I ain't denying THAT, I was there through the whole show.

And now that I remember, even when Frogadier was revealed, people weren't entirely sure what he would turn out to be while as Quilladin was already obvious to turn into a total tank. When Greninja was finally revealed... people thought of it as a fake IIRC, but by name alone, there were already ninja motifs behind it, they were slightly hesitant over the tongue detail however.

I was unhappy with it on first impressions but the more I see it, the more it grows on me.
It's definitely passed the threshold of mentally recognizing it as a pokemon and faster than the other two did, even though I like them both more.
I was committed to the water type this gen though so it's a good thing, I guess. My main problem really is more what it's not than what it is.
Kind of the same with the female trainer. I like her and she's really cute, but she's not a stand-out design that's really appealing to me like Hilda and Serena were.

Then why was Froakie the most picked starter when the games came out and few normalfags knew what Froakie's final evolution would be? Remember that Greninja was only officially revealed on the same day as the game release or a little later (Memory's a tad blurry on that I must admit, but Greninja was definitely not revealed before the game release)

I definitely remember japanese polls where Froakie was number one before Greninja was revealed. Meanwhile, Chespin got compared to Oshawott, who's severely unpopular. In other words, stop trying to make Froakie out to be unpopular before Greninja's existence was confirmed.

In popularity polls in Japan, the winner tends to get distributed on Wi-Fi events, so many vote for intentionally rare legendaries so that htey can have a chance at getting them. Many people are actually mad that Greninja's winning because they want actual rare pokes to be distributed. I believe Arceus won the last poll. Greninja's awesome though, so i don't mind him winning.

>>26246957
The Froakie line is the most popular. You can't be 'hipster' if you're doing what's actually popular, being a hipster is about seeing someone unpopular and pretending you're cool for liking it.

So basically Chespin fans are hipsters.
>>
>>26246720
It was a "Choose your Favorite Pokemon!" poll that was accesible to everyone. You could even vote through the anime, so i'm sure there were lots of kid votes. Only Manchildren that wanted to rek their friends with Arceus actually cared to vote for legendaries instead of their faves.
>>
>>26247126
Chespin was always the hipster's choice. Always. I am not sure why people are trying to claim otherwise. After all, when Chespin is the designated punching bag of the Kalos starters, you can't claim Chespin is anything but that.

>always pick water

>>
>>26247126
>>26247346

Actually, Froakie fans WERE hipsters until the whole Quilladin thing blew over. Then he was quite literally, the most obvious popular choice. There was a transition. Chespin was by default, one of the most popular picks because everyone thought he'd be Oshawott. Then Quilladin happened. Many people who were by Chespin's side suddenly found themselves either transitioning to Fennekin or Froakie because they were afraid of what he'd might turn into.

Then again, I'm going by memory, so don't trust me on this one.
>>
>>26247657
>Chespin was by default, one of the most popular picks because everyone thought he'd be Oshawott
No he wasn't. He was extremely unpopular. Just like Oshawott was unpopular before his evolutions were revealed. Only for Chespin, things just got worse until Chesnaught.

How fucking bad is your memory? It was way more unpopular than Froakie and Fennekin by far.

This is me. I don't fully understand all the sexualization of Delphox because at least to me it doesn't look super feminine to me but I get Braixen. It looks very girly without being designed super cutesy or pink. Thats part of why I was so disappointed that Delphox ended up not looking more intrinsically witchy.
>>
>>26238203
I hope so. I'm fine with all three but Popplio is now the underdog so I'm rooting for it. Doesn't help that Rowlett people are already getting annoying and superior like the round owl with only a green bow tie to suggest it's grass is somehow clearly the best design. Makes me hope its evolutions are garbage.

They can't be hipsters if Froakie was the most popular starter. Try harder.

It's because it doesn't have any questionable and divisive design elements (ugly head brand for the cat and clown nose for the seal), so while it might be plain, it doesn't do anything to make people dislike it.

How bad is my memory really when I personally remember the most hated starters as

>Froakie (which is why I called it the hipster choice, which now that I remember, is a very bad choice of words when really, he was the UNDERDOG pick everyone would go for because they felt either sorry for him or saw him as a pimp compared to the rest) followed by Chespin being most hated (which happened during the Quilladin incident) followed by Fennekin as most hated (which I remember it was either due to her final evolution or the furry fanbase) as mid stage and final stages were revealed

See, this is what I don't get. Greninja is ugly as fuck but everyone praises the tongue scarf as a great design element.

Whereas Popplio is much better-looking than Froakie and you have everyone shitting on its circus theme like it's an awful, silly design choice.

I think I have to just stop taking opinions seriously on this board. I disgaree with pretty much 95% of the board, and that's mostly because it's filled with underage, contrarians, and furphobes who will dislike a design with fur just so they aren't perceived as furfags. What a cancerous, shitty-taste board.

Probably, but Litten is literally going to be a cannon ball.

"A tuft of fur sits at the end of its long tail. Litten's fur produces flammable oils. This allows it to collect fur while grooming, then use it form fireballs. When this Pokémon begins shedding, it burns all its fur in a blaze."

Its tail is the wick.
