Something about these starters is really turning me off. Can't say I want to use any of them.
Maybe I'm done with Pokemon finally. I just don't see myself playing this one. That's a first!

The overworld is a huge step forward. I'm pretty impressed, TBH. Throw some bigger cities and more varied biomes onto the other islands and we'll really have something going.
We already have two water/ice sea lions though, with Walrein and Dewgong.
I think Water/Psychic could be cool.

Walrein is a Walrus and Dewgong is a Dugong.
Yes they are
At least until gen 6
Rivals are even better (since they have personality plus a good design)
They might not be very memorable as characters, but the designs absolutely are. People will recognize them years past release, they're used all over the promotional artwork, the opposite gender of your pick plays a role in the games as a character and the female ones are used in the anime.

I love the owl starter.
This is probably going to be me first Pokémon in a while. The last one I played was Diamond, I guess? I loved Blue and Silver to death but I kinda fell off. The series has had some big improvements, huh? I almost don't recognize it anymore!

Pushing the graphics is great, but playing Pocket Mortys makes me wish for a Pokemon on something so modern. The resolution alone adds so much smoothness that the 3DS display simply can't do, even if this had the best graphics ever for the (now very old) hardware.
I also wonder if the Old 3DS won't get the Hyrule Warriors treatment with a far inferior experience. I hope not.

And Smaug in the Hobbit movie, and Vermithrax Perjorative in Dragonslayer, and God knows how many other dragons in fiction.
"Dragon" is not some concept that requires a four-legged two-winged animal. It's a general concept of a fictional reptilian monster that may or may not fly, breathe fire or poison or even some other substance, hoard treasure, be a symbol of evil or power, etc. and that's without even going into "Eastern dragon" traits. Monsters like charizard and Rathalos are very clearly based on that general image, even of they're technically not dragons in-universe.

Alright the official art on Popplio sold me on it:
Gonna name the lil' homie Clown College, LMAO.

Litten screams Fire/Dark. Hope it keeps the "I don't give a shit" expression.
I mean allowing you to pick hair/eye colour, gender, skin tone, various facial features and a selection of clothes and accessories. Obviously more clothes and stuff can come available later. You would still play as a child, since that's important to the game.
Kids aren't that stupid, GameFreak could design a simple character creator, plenty of games have.
I don't really care about the anime, but there's plenty more interesting character designs than default trainer. I'm pretty sure it's used gyms leaders as major anime characters before. Their memorability kinda wares off when you can completely change their look later in the game anyway.

Surprised there was no mention of Amiibo compatibility. Hopefully we'll get Amiibo for the starters/cover legendaries at least.

Wow those graphics...
It's just that some like sticking to the original design of a mythical monster, especially when there is something that is exactly how some interpret it.
This will be my first Pokemon that I'm going to get on 3DS! I also did a speed modeling of Rowlet and took me nearly 90 mins to get the base model looking correct.
Here's the link to the file for those who want to further improve it! https://www.dropbox.com/s/4fx8y1jnf6be800/PokemonRowlet_Geo_v001.max?dl=0 (3dsmax 2015 file)

It's funny, because this is basically the 3D open world Pokémon game we've all been clamoring for for years, but if it had been made on the N64/Gamecube.

Seriously. They always do this. They will (kinda) push the handheld right when it's about to die.
I love how character customization is seemingly back in.
Funny thing is the main guy character with black hair already looks like me so I cant see my self changing it much despite making a big deal about it needing to return haha.
Happy for the diversity though, it's what Pokemon's all about, and hopefully the customization is greatly expanded from X and Y.

From their perspective it's not dying, the 3DS is has its maximum user base.
FIRE WINS AGAIN. But really this is literally the first time i'm looking at starters and second guessing if they're actually real pokemon even though they're real. They don't look bad, they just look kind of off in someway that's triggering me? Maybe it's the screenshot on them, i haven't see a vid of them in person. ( going to watch the vid now)
Dragons and Wyverns are different mythical beasts.
A lion is not a tiger and a tiger is not a lion. (Or for mythical comparison, a Unicorn and a Pegasus are not the same) Just because some people are unaware of the difference and make mistakes doesn't mean they're interchangeable. And while I don't generally complain about it, I'll absolutely bring it up when the topic is actually about the distinction of dragons. Such as now.

You can probably get a haircut like in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.
Welcome to the early 2000's, Mainline Pokemon!
Your glacial pace isn't frustrating in the least.
For me, they won't have "made it" until you can see wild Pokemon roam the tall grass...

So this island is Oahu?
Because that looks like Waikiki when the trainer is running down the road by the car with a guy standing there.
