Kitten + Lit = Litten. Who looks adorable, by the way. I'm not even that big on Pokemon, but as usual the Fire Starter looks the best. XD
 
Man. Talk about disappointing. Probably skipping another Gen. Here's hoping the nx version has better designs.

LOL

We have seen five Pokemon and barely any gameplay footage but if you were expecting Pokemon not to play like Pokemon then I don't know what to tell you.
 
Litten is the best of the three, this should mean there won't be a wasted cat in the main dex like there usually is.

That owl is the worst though.
 
About Rowlet:

The first of the potential partners is the highly adaptable Grass Quill Pokémon, Rowlet. This Pokémon can fly silently through the skies, sneaking up on its opponent without being noticed. It can attack its opponents using powerful kicks, and it can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers. Rowlet can survey its environment and turn its neck nearly 180 degrees from front to back, so it can see directly behind itself.

Kick moves confirmed? That's surprising.

When in battle, Rowlet turns its head to face its Trainer when waiting for instructions

Love that.
 
I don't really like any of the starters, but I guess Rowlet is the least bad in my eyes?

I love the region and visual style of the game though!
 
Starters look decent, not great. I kind of like the owl and it's concept. Litten looks like a Yo-Kai. I'm normally a water-starter guy, but this one doesn't look too promising. I'm done with clown/acrobat water starters

Is there a comparison picture with all starters already?
 
I'm basically hoping that Rowlett evolves to become Kaepora Gaebora with a top hat and tails

If all three starters go with a circus motif I can see that. Rowlet and it's evos would be the ringleader, Popplio and it's evos would be the clown/animal performer, and Litten and it's evos would be the fire breather/swallower.
 
Yes... Finally a game that launch almost on my birthday (only 1 day ahead)...

As always choosing the Water starter for first run, but that grass owl looks cool as fuck...

Customization character is back... :)

Overworld looks nice and well proportioned...

Only bit that I'm not fond is with the legendaries... Especially with that bat legend or flying thing... Ugliest legendary ever (even uglier than Dialgia/Palkia)...
