Is it possible that popplio's evolutions will save him,

If we end up getting Ballio or a similar design, maybe. If Litten's evolutions end up being stupid, I can see Popplio getting a bit of a popularity boost.

Popplio is my least favorite of the basic stages, but actually the one I see the most potential in.
Popplio can definitely be redeemed.

What do you let your Popplio listen to, /vp/?

This "hate" is such a meme. Oshawott got waaaay more shit than popplio ever has....and still does thanks to samurott.

But it's not our fault if GF sucks at drawing

I actually really like Popplio. Both design, concept and the fact he's this gen underdog makes him way more appealing than the other two starters. He'll be my bro

>>26542632
yes, I thought Froakie was the worst gen 6 starter till I saw greninja

J-Pop, of course!

Popplio was honestly the only starter that jumped out at me at this gen. The others felt too plain.

Normies will end up loving the popplio line, but /vp/ will hate it because the final evolution isn't Ballio.

/vp/ hates everything pokemon related.

I don't know; I like all the gen 7 starters equally though I wasn't too big a fan of last gen's starters. Chesnaught grew to be my favorite, and so did Chespin by extension I guess. Greninja is butt ugly, though; the tongue scarf thing was an awful touch. The phoxes are mehworthy at best.

The fanbase is just full shit taste. Samurott is objectively one of the most badass starters in the franchise. Complaints about being primarily quadrupedal is the most RIDICULOUS excuse when:
1. Its a creature built for water combat
2. True otters(or majority of semi-aquatic mammals) are primarily quadrupeds
But I guess pokemon fans are to retarded to understand that Dewott's evolutionary change is a step-up for it's main environment.
