Ok vp, now that we've seen the official reveal and gotten a better look at the trio, who will you be choosing?

since the beggining I was RobinRoot
I'm still surprised that we've known about the starters since June
>>29459517
>illegally
Litten til death. I'll use all of them at some point though.
Robinhoot. Then I'll trade something in so I can get a luchalitten.
>>29459392
Like them all, but I gotta go with my boy litten especially after that trailer.
>>29459392
>no "boxed" option
Seriously?
>>29459392
stickin with litten
>>29459392
Still picking Popplio, but I will admit, Incineroar looks a whole lot better in motion.
>>29459517
Yea, I just started this poll since I think people will now be able to solidify their choice or even change their opinion entirely now that we finally get to see them in context of gameplay and in animation, also their abilities too.
I for one and totally stuck between Litten and Rowlet, but I'm leaning towards Litten after that trailer.
current stats on pic
Now that we've got types and video of them moving, all of them look appearing, all of them look good, but I'll probably still use Popplio first. I might have to use a different Pokemon to replace Mimikyu though. :(
Been a rowlet fag since day one, still a rowlet fag now.

>>29459771
>their abilities too.
We don't
>>29459392
Popplio, when it is fully evolved it's going straight to the box
>>29459392
I can't pick between Incineroar and Decidueye
>>29459857
>Le Knock Off of Balanced Meta Game
>>29459665
>boxing your starter
>>29459392
I voted for litten, but please note I do not plan on evolving Torracat.
I really love Decidueye and Primarina. This is the first generation in a long time where I've actually like 2/3 final starters. Decidueye being slightly better than Primarina, but still.
We don't talk about Incineroar. Literally only dark so we can't bitch about getting a fourth fire/fighting pokemon.
>>29459986
how about box your starter right from the start instead of rusing it you cancerous faggot?
>tfw me and two friends drew straws for starters
>got Rowlet (wanted Popplio)
>was kinda let down by the Grass/Flying type
>its Grass/Ghost and gets a cool signature move and lots of Flying moves as well
>its model looks great as well
fuck yes I'm finally happy I got Rowlet
I want both Incineroar and Robinhoot, gonna beg for a Litten on /vp/.
>>29459857
My favorite type is Ghost, and I've also loved Rowlett from day one, but I just can't see why it would be a ghost type. It doesn't make much sense
Also, I wish it wasn't ghost type, since it now overlaps with the Mimikkyu I wanted to use
>>29459543
well obviously yeah, but it was still known since June
>>29460241
Gotta catch 'em all
>>29460205
>Literally only dark so we can't bitch about getting a fourth fire/fighting pokemon.
>not because it's a heel

>>29459665
You realize you still have to pick a starter right?
>>29460398
I can breed you a good one if you want friend
>>29459934
Well I meant to say signature move, but we do know their abilities anyway; Overgrow, Blaze and Torrent, they are in the video
>>29459392
>Pokemon Sun and moon reveal.
Rowlet and Litten both look cool, Popplio's pretty okay too.
>Final evo leaks.
Rowlet evo looks coolest, so Rowlet.
>Middle evos shown.
Dartix looks coolest.
>Final evos officially confirmed.
Knew it, Rowlet is the best evo confir--
>Grass/Ghost
AND THEN THEY MADE IT BETTER. GRASS MOTHERFUCKING GHOST.
The answer is Rowlet.
>>29459392
Either Rowlet or Litten honestly, it's a tough choice.
Rowlett, easiest choice of my life now that it's not grass / flying.
Also hoo-lee shit these names are so fucking bad, what were they thinking.
>>29460995
Names of the final evos I meant
>Fire starter is Fire/Dark instead of Fire/Fighting so it doesn't force me to choose between it and Monk Dragon

>>29459392
Glorious Mermaid-Sama master-race
Gamefreak went hard as fuck with all the starters and typings this gen. Arguably the strongest ever. Fucking GOAT
>>29459392
Water starter. Every time. No compromise.
honestly this time around i absolutely love all the starters. they are interesting from a design pov AND seem to have things going for them mechanically like cool typings and signature moves.
at first glance i liked litten the most. everyone seemed to love the bird and i can understand the robinhoot hype but the first evo was not very good imo. but i kind of switched to popplio.
popplio looked shit at first but traditionally water has been a pretty good bet even though some of the first evos looked shit. i believed in it.
as it became more apparent that the leaked evos were true i thought popplio was definitly the right choice, especially with litten becoming bipedal. but now that the typings are reveled i like litten a lot more and robinhoot typing has come as a cool suprise. i'll still go with popplio i think but the other two are pretty stellar too, even though i would have liked litten to stay down...
>>29459392Ballio :^)
>>29461709
wow i didnt think so many ppl would actually go robinhoot. i mean it was pretty clear it was the most popular but damn over 50% that is more than i expected. also expected litten to be much lower since everyone got so rustled about bipedal and fighting and shit.
>>29461212
agree
>>29461796
Litten has more fans than you think, it's haters are just obnoxiously vocal.
Honestly if you have such a hatred for anything you're kind of a faggot.
Current numbers
>>29461107
In hindsight I probably should have added a boxed option, since a lot of people were pretty sincere about boxing their starter this gen.
Such a great trio this time around
I like all three
>>29459392
>Popplio in last place
Face it Popfags, no one wants your tranny pokemon
>>29459392
i like all of them
buying both games,
Moon: Rowlet
Sun: Popplio
Then I'll replay one with Litten
>>29462179
>tranny

>>29459392
I'll pick Popplio, but I'll box it.
Don't like any of the final evos.

>>29462308
Nice shoop but it's already confirmed to be male.
>>29459392
i've been rowlet ever sience the leaks were confirmed
litten is my favorite starter but that final, luchalitten, just gets WORSE and WORSE with every reveal and leak. it's absolutely terrible. (and his signature move looks godawful)
but robinhoot looks freaking sweet now, the pokedexpicture scared me a bit because his stance looked awful but im glad to see it wasn't his actual battle stance. his typing is sweet as hell imo and hes overall the coolest final starter for sure.
>you can only choose one
Shit poll, OP is a faggot once again.
>>29459392
LuchaLitten all the way!
>>29461907
The fact that it's haters are so vocal make me like it even more because it's doing a good job of making people play into the heel wrestler part of the design
>>29459392
Still Rowlet, but Incineroar has won me over with the animations.
>>29461907
Everyone likes Litten though.
The only one everyone hates is Popplio. No one likes it except gayfags.
>>29463118
But Popplio has the least votes, and faggots make up most of 4chan
Maybepeople have different opinions and you shouldn't be this angry about them
>>29463176
It has the least votes because it's a transexual pokemon. Despite what you may want people to believe, not everyone on 4chan is gay, though all of the Poppliofags are either that or waifufags in denial about it always being male.
>>29459392
I'm pretty torn between Rowlet and Popplio. Rowlet's final evolution was a surprise of being part ghost instead of flying.
>>29463283
Why does big match popplio work you so hard?
Getting intense guise
>>29463337
>giving (You)s to a known shitposter
Stop
>>29463301
Are you straight? Choose Rowlet.
Are you a homosexual? Choose Popplio.
>>29460486
yeah but the decision is meaningless because he has no intention of ever using it and is only using it because the game forces the pokemon on it
he might as well randomly generate a number to decide for him. therefore saying he still has to pick is stupid because the only option with real meaning is "none of them, they're all bad and I'm boxing whatever I happen to pick the moment I am able to."
>>29463390
I'm picking_both_
First generation ever where I actually prefer the fire starter, Incineroar even though I hated it at first.
Primarina is great as well, but there's no way I'm not picking_itunless the gender ratio is 87.5% female. I kind of wish it is, because usually I'm a waterfag.
Decidueye is okay, I guess, and I liked it the best at first, but its small corpus is really ruining it for me, plus I always want to have a Flying mon on my team, so Ghost wasn't too pleasant of a surprise. Too bad, I like birds and wanted to go with Rowlet.
That being said, despite my love for Greninja, this is by far my favorite starter gen since 4.
>>29459486
>not Robin Hoot
Primarina. i like the typing and the shiny looks nice
>>29459392
Honestly, me, my brother, and a friend of ours all chose our starters when we heard of them so I'm still sticking with Rowlet.
>>29463946
>there's no way I'm not picking _it unless the gender ratio is 87.5% female.
See >>29462864
>>29459392
Rowlet has never disappointed meso long as he gets leaf blade
>>29464050
This
Primarina. I'll try to get Decidueye from someone else.
>>29464039:^)
>>29463946
Corpus?
>>29459392
Rowlet is the only good design, the other too are absolute shit, but i always chose the water one.
>>29464221
>from someone else
You could just start your save, get a starter, make a friend hold it, then restart your save and pick another one. Or if you have a hacked 3DS, just roll back your save (I'm gonna do this since I don't want exp boost)
>>29464267
I mean its body except the head, wings and legs.
Excuse my poor English, Eurofag here.
>>29464366
It's all good m8, I thought that's what you meant.
>>29460408
>Planned out my team all nice, with the only type overlap being Rowlet and Minior, though I figured they would be distinct enough for it to not matter too much, especially in an in-game run
>This happens
>Now I have no type overlap at all
Thank you John GameFreak.
Also, as for why it becomes ghost, consider how much owls are associated with ghosts in folklore and such (barn owls are also known as ghost owls), and as for why it loses its flying type, I just imagine that its long legs make it much more adept at running and leaping than flying.
And my personal headcanon for the ghost immunity will be that it's simply so fast that it's able to anticipate all basic head-on attacks, such as tackle. Note how its description on the website says it's usual cool and collected, but gets flustered when caught off guard. That would be a good justification as to why it's now weak to dark and ghost type moves.
>>29464441
*normal immunity
Whoops.
>>29464294
Too much of a pain, don't want to bother. It's not like I'll use both in the main game.
>>29459629
>blaziken fire punching
>infernape fire kicking
>>29464548
>sky uppercut is something blaziken learns
>>29461709
same here, I dont think I have ever liked all of the starters since Gen 2.
I would definitely love to have them 3 in my party.
>>29464831
That's clearly a fire punch.
>>29459392
If GTS is up and I can do it, I'm going to have Rowlet and Popplio on my team. It'll be super weird probably, but I love them both.
>mfw GTS fuckers want an Arceus for a Popplio
>>29464831
>flying move
I'll be picking popplio, but in my circle, we've already figured who is going for what.
I actually like Primarina and Decidueye, so it was a rough choice. Either way, I'm pleased with all the designs, though Incineroar disappoints me only a tiny bit.
>>29459392
Grass batman.
>>29459392
Rowlet. Why would I choose the furbait or the ugly piece of shit when the bird even gets the best type?
>>29465338
>sky uppercut
>flying move
Good job, retard.
>>29466064
>ghost/grass
>superior to water/fairy
Guess again, faggot.
Popplio then
Popplio now
I love all 3 though
>>29459392
Ghost bird since day 1 bby
Ever since Mallow confirmed the leaks, Ive picked Luchalitten or whatever his name is
Ive forgotten
>>29459392
When the startes were first introduced I went with Rowlet, but I lost interest in it after a while.
Litten, or more like Incineroar, is looking way more interesting now.
>Popplio since day 1 and wanted it to evolve into something cute
>mfw Primarina
Literally my new favourite starter. Primarina is love
Decidueye makes Meganium look good.
I'm definitely not picking Rowlett.
>>29459392
Either Rowlet or Incineroar. Trannyseal just looks disgusting. I might use the latter for online matches though if it does get Aurora Veil, that shit looks great for doubles.
Hopefully none of their stats are too fucked though.
>ghost/grass
>signature move is ghost type damaging move that also does Shadow Tag
This bird is automatically in OU if it has a good speed tier; 110 or higher. The right hidden ability could put it into ubers.
>>29466519
People are always going to switch out if they see the bird though. It'll make predictions easier though if you trap a counter.
Ghost-types can't safely switch in either because the trapping move is Ghost. I hope it has a decent enough base power.
I never name pokemon, but I wanna name Primarina. But I don't know what, I'm thinking a reference to Marina and the Diamonds, but they all sound kind of awkward?
Primarina Girl
Primarina Diamandis
Primarina and the Diamonds
My Name's Primarina
ect
>>29466752
Have you always been a gigantic faggot?
Rowlet because it makes my cock hard.
>>29466795
Yes.
>>29466627
You can predict the switch then.
I'll be using a starter for the first time in the main game since Ruby version first came out
Litten for my first run,Rowlet for the second.
First time since Treecko that i actually kinda like the grass starter.
>>29464366
For future reference, the word you want is "torso," bro.
Interesting how the popularity of the starters and their evos seems to be the same from the start.
Even though it's the least Popular, I've always wanted to pick Popplio from the start and Brionne and Primarina have only cemented the choice further. I'm really happy it stayed cute, to me at least.
YO SOY INCINEROAR
ET CERO
MIEDO
Popfag from the start to the end.
Primarina and Decidueye are pretty great, but baracat not so much.
>>29459392
If I could only choose one, Litten easily, but I've got a few buddies who I'll be trading with right off the bat so I can use Litten and Rowlett as I want both on my team for playthrough. I'm only even bothering with the massive disappointment that is Popmaid for dex completion.
desu not using starters this time
>>29460408
Its a single type overlap, why does it matter?
They probably made it ghost type since its supposed to be a sniper that hides and moves in the shadows. Ghosts aren't spirits of the dead, they're anything associated with spooky, spiritual, shadow, or strange occult.
>>29459392
I was torn between Roothoot and Poppmaid for a while, but today's trailer solidified it. I'm picking the owl.
His little hoodie strings opening/closing his hood is so cute. AND now there's no 4x weakness to ice.
I am pretty torn. I planned to pick Rowlet originally. But now there is so much type overlapping so its triggering my autism. I was going to use Misdreavus, Cutiefly and Mimimyu. If I had Decidueye in the party, 50% would be ghost types. And that would be horrible. Same would happen if I picked Popplio, just with fairy type that time. And I wont pick Litten. So I guess I will just box the starter.
>>29469063
This.
>>29469113
I'm not sure why people care so much about type overlaps. It's not like this game is that difficult that having some coverage moves won't just suffice for most circumstances.
>>29469159
Obviously it doesnt matter at all when you are in singleplayer. Its just a thing of mine, it just feels weird if there is a whole bunch of the same type.
>>29460408
>Also, I wish it wasn't ghost type, since it now overlaps with the Mimikkyu I wanted to use
Why is this autism so common?
They both have different secondary typings, just use both.
>>29460205
>Literally only dark so we can't bitch about getting a fourth fire/fighting pokemon.
Idiot
>>29459392
This is the first Generation that I've ever actually liked all of the Starters a lot.
Right now, my heart's saying Incineroar, but the other two keep tugging at me.
>>29459392
Just got here, and Rowlet is winning by a landslide
glad I dropped Litten for it
>>29468412
At first I was disappointed that it looked so girly when the base form doesn't look like it's heading in that direction. Popplio is still my favorite of the evo line but I've warmed up to Brionne and Primarina. I think it's the most consistent good looking starter evo line this gen.
>>29466627
>People are always going to switch out if they see the bird though
that's actually pretty powerful, being able to force switches is always good
>>29466752
Athena
>>29470154
Being in animation really helps too. I'm probably choosing Rowlet, but the singing animation with the hair going wild looks great
>>29469333
>glad I dropped something I liked for something I feel comfortable in commanding majority consensus
wew
>>29460075
>implying the psychic tapu wont shift the meta in a way where knockoff is only spammed half the time
>>29471241
dropped litten long before this thread ever existed
good job for being retarded
>>29471341
Why would it? Psychic Terrain blocks priority, not Dark-type moves, and Tapu Lele still takes neutral damage from Knock Off. Sure, Guardian of Alola might be worth running every once in a while since it looks like it deals a flat 75% of the target's current (max?) HP in damage, though being cucked by Substitute/Protect/etc probably isn't worth it.
Ghost bird confirmed for best bird
Now to figure out why it's a ghost.
>>29470746
I like Rowlet's final evo but I don't like his 1st and 2nd evos much. Honestly I was kind of torn between ghost bird and water tranny but I've decided to stick with Popplio through his gender reassignment surgery.
I honestly don't know which one to go with.
I love all three starters first stage, then Torracat's got the best middle stage, and I'm pretty neutral on all three final evos.
Guess I'm choosing based on the last number of trainer ID when I get there. Nuzlocke ftw.
>>29471774
google stilt owl
>>29471774
Deadeye Sniper
It's Dead and has Eyes
>>29459392
None. Evolving litten to the 2nd evo then putting him away permanently.
>>29472139
>>29472109
sure but then why is it grass type?
If they were going for spoopy ghost owl then it shouldn't have been the grass starter. I like the design, but it doesn't suit grass and ghost all that well. It's absolutely a flying type design from top to bottom, and dark type is the most likely secondary if it wasn't forced to be grass.
>>29472300
Because it's a grassy bird that lives in forests and evolved into having ghost type attacks.
It's Pokemon, brah. It's a ghost type starter, which is awesome. Roll with it.
>>29459392
I was looking at Decidueye as my fallback if Incineroar turned out Fire/Fighting, but now they made him Grass/Ghost and fuuuuuuck meeeee I can't make up my mind now.
>>29473068
Grass/ghost really came out of left field.
>>29459392
All three are 10/10 but I'm choosing Primarina.
Once a firefag, always a firefag.Except for Sceptile and Blastoise.
yall rowlet fags don't know shit about good pokemon
>Gen 7 starters all shit on their gen 6 counterparts due to typing
I hope this becomes a trend, could lead to some interesting syping choices for future starters.
>Inb4 gen8 fire/fighting
>>29475832
its time for Fire/Bug
>>29459392
The Ghost type is cool but now that we've actually seen the offical art for Beltigre and we've got confirmation he's dark type he's really grown on me.
>52% of /vp/ is cancerous enough to choose barashit and furshit over based owl
This board is truly a shithole.
>>29459392
Decidueye. That based owl exceeded my expectations.
I used to like Litten but I dropped that shit as soon as the leaks were undeniable. Very disappointing.
>>29459665
>>29463508
The option is right there.
>>29462864
According to tumblr, male Popplios evolve into female Primarinas.
>>29468412
Rowlet was my favorite at the start, and I think Litten is pretty boring, but Incineroar is fucking great.
>>29462308
Fiendly remainder that Primarina = Tumblrina
>>29459392
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT THESE DO NOT EXIST.
>>29476546
Primadona that has to do with her songs, either retarded or baiting, I'm going with the former
>>29472975
It is awesome but the design doesn't say anything about being both ghost and grass, however it screams flying.
I won't get mad about it but it is still weird
>>29459392
>no "neither" option
Kys GF fanboy
Worst starters ever
>>29477517
Neither is not correct with more than two options. Also, >>29476391 The "none" option is not to vote.
>>29459392
where is the non of the above option?
>>29477663
>The "none" option is not to vote.
That's not how surveys work, faggot
>>29477772
In this case there is no "none", aside from not playing the game. Therefore, there is no "none" option on the survey aside from not taking it.
Im choosing the first pokemon i catch and boxxing the starter.
Fuck these designs and anybody who likes them can eat a dick.
>>29459486
hispter
>both of primarina's types are SE against both of incineroar's types
>both of incineroar's types are SE against both of decidueye's types
>only one of decidueye's types is SE against primarina
For what purpose? Why did decidueye get the short end of the stick?
Its SIGNATURE move isn't even SE against primarina.
>>29480857
>Why do Grass starters always get the short end of the stick
At least it's got a decent type combination.
>>29480857
Fire resists Fairy
>>29481022
So incineroar got the best outcome?
Why? I'd think GF would try and equalize the typing matchups of all of them.
>>29462864
>implying it won't get a sex change when it evolves
>>29459392
No clue yet.
The starters still have an unrevealed secret.
Since it can't be z-moves, due to other pokemon having them. And it can't be alternate forms due to the datamine (unless GF were somehow smart enough to keep those out of the demo), it has to be their hidden abilities. Could be battle bond, was Ash Greninjas model in the datamine? Shiny coloring? They didn't say battle bond was a new ability only Ash Greninja could have, like most new moves/abilities.
>>29475799
they know more than anyone who thinks that popplio is good and not just waifu trash.
what a shame that the same gen they release a water/fairy type, they release a better one.
>>29482282
This. GF literally thinks of Popplio as a joke so much that not only do they introduce a better water/fairy in the same gen (that is probably an ACTUAL female at that), but also give you Greninja as a backup.
>Sealfuckers in last where they belong
Right now my gut reaction is Incineroar, just because he's memetastic.
>>29482364
Ya know, there's a reason why they used the word "prima donna" for its name, and it's not merely because it's a well known term to describe a female opera singer.
>What Primarina fanbase actually fails to realize
wew
>>29482282
kek. poor popplio. nigga never stood a chance.
>>29482466
Because they hate it and just threw it in as filler so they can excuse everyone wanting Greninja back?
>>29461162
>photo
If only...
>>29476465
Why would you trust tumblr
>>29482515Well, that too.
>>29459629
Incineroar was supposed to a fire/fighting type, literally everything about its design just invokes wrestling.
>>29482840
Incineroar is a wrestling heel, wrestling heels are known for their dirty fighting. Fighting type by Game Freak is looked at as the good "guy"(Pokemon)/heroic while dark is evil/dirty fighting. It makes complete sense for anyone with a brain.
>>29482956
It's still wrestling.
>>29471774
Owls are creepy, I guess.
>>29484500
But that is also a dark type trait. Dark and Ghost have many similarities, with the primary difference being Ghost deals with spirits, non-living in the traditional sense.
>>29482466
>they used the word "prima donna" for its name
I thought its name was a shortening of the phrase "prima ballerina"?
I was going for the qt trap seal but the ghost typing completely sold me on the owl.
Finally, I can make the full spooky team I've dreamed of without boxing my starter! All ghosts and darks!
Mimikyu <3
