The reveal of the starters’ middle evolutions in the upcoming Pokémon Sun & Moon didn’t come out of the blue, but the designs were certainly a surprise for fans.
Rowlet’s evolution Dartrix has become a narcissistic teenager with a hair obsession. Torracat, Litten’s evolution, has gained some bulk and an edge of danger. Then we’re left with Brionne which has given Popplio a distinctly feminine charm.
Have any of your thoughts changed since you first some the reveal? Personally, I’m warming up to Brionne and making peace with its final evolution, even if it doesn’t get a more masculine look for males of the species. In fact… I’m almost willing to ditch the avian archer for my own merman; honestly I never thought I’d even consider that.
But then again, it is 2016. They say anything is possible this year and Generation VII might get even crazier than the US elections.

I Love Pokemon as a whole… So they’re all beautiful and unique in there own way… So having them all is the funnest thing ever <3
What I always do in these games:
1) don’t save when I get the full games
2) keep playing with them in amie
3) when there’s the news people asking about the relationship with my Pokémon: Dat Ass
4) Keep running away from weak Pokémon and tried to steal the leaders pokemon
5) Idk
Brionne is probably my favorite stage between all 9 starter Pokémon stages. I have a secret love for any ‘mon that looks derpy. (Trubbish and Garbordor are forever my favorite Poison type Pokémon.)
Brionne…. Looks like Katy Perry to me
Then they succeeded since its the pop star Pokémon xD
lol yup xD
I love all of them!!!
The only thing that kills me is Litten 3. >.>
Such an AWESOME quadruped Pokémon for forms one and two, and then it stands on two legs. -___-
If they perhaps kept almost all of Litten 3’s design, but made him a quadruped, I would be exceedingly pleased.
In the end though, this is going to be the first generation where I don’t know for sure which starter I want!
Stay with Litten 2 and press B?
Honestly I love Brionne the most!! I don’t mind any of their designs, but it has most likable one I think. At least for me anyway. I like Torracat more in game than I do in it’s art and I think I can say the same about Dartrix. Knowing what they all evolve into really makes a difference. I think I’d have a more worried feeling if I didn’t know their final evolutions. anyway they all have decent designs and I look forward to seeing the finals in game too!
I must admit I’m a big fan of Dartix’s hair though. Makes me think of Ghirahim from Skyward Sword.

Brionne was the nail in the coffin for convincing me to choose Litten
Traitor
Normally i’m fiercely loyal but nuh-uh not this time
team Litten
Guys are ready to start datamining the demo (if they ever decrypt it before it comes out). Sauce : http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/28929345#p28930063.

only a matter of time
To be fair if you read the thread the people who are doing the decoding say that it’s unlikely they’ll crack the code. The amount of combinations there are for the key is ridiculous and it could take 100 billion years before anyone even has a chance of finding the right one. The odds are the demo will come out before anyone finds it. At that point it’ll be useless and people will have moved onto actually ripping apart the actual demo lol
we gots plenty of brain-havers and Asians who do this stuff all the time
dey’ll crack the code
It’s not about having enough smart people. Even if you used all the computers in the world it would still take that long to find the correct code. Sure they could find it tomorrow or even today, but the odds are that they won’t due to the shear amount of possibilities.
whatever they want into and they’ll do whatever it takes to crack dat nut
Salted codes have nothing to do with how smart you are, it’s either knowing what it is, or getting lucky, in which case, you’d have a better chance of winning the lottery, twice, in one week. There is nothing in between.
I like them all, especially in the game. Each one of them reacts in a unique way. Something that we haven’t really seen in pokemon. I can’t really decided but I do like Popplio’s third evolution the best. I really can’t wait to see what happens!
These starters certainly are the most “controversial” to date, but really have a masculine starter and feminine starter for each generation is nothing new so I don’t really see what everyone is complaining about with Brionne and Torracat.
Do I need to remind everyone of Braxien last gen? As long as my Popplio is a female and my Litten is male, I’m fine.
All I care about is Rockruff and Lycanroc so this don’t matter to me
It’s not Brionne’s fault it’s so fabulous! LOL
i remember the corocoro said the starters and rockruff haves a secret, so i think the starters will have two 3rd evolution one for the day and one for the night.
I was always a Litten fan, and I still am. I was torn between having either Rowlet or Popplio on my other version and was just going to get 3 games total. The more and more I look at Brionne the less interested I am in it. Not because it looks feminine I just don’t connect to it… It doesn’t appeal to me… When I build my teams I base it off if I were a real Pokemon trainer and what Pokemon correspond to my personality. So, I’m thinking of going with Rowlet and Litten and only having two games. At first I was all for Popplio but this evolution turned me off…
I don’t mind the makes of the mermaid species looking so feminine, but it would be cool if there was a Poseidon looking merman gender difference. Maybe give it a beard or just ace and get rid of the pearls ?
here’s the thoughts from a SUPER NERD like me
Dartrix is the literal pokemon incarnation of Narcis Prince [Super punch out]!
Torracat is Strong Cat and is also Spoiled Cat and its Important to pet it a lot [burns dont matter, just pet it!!!!!
brionne is my favorite baby out of the three. a very important baby. nothing much to say about it. it needs hugs. i hope it shows its feelings to me and not fake smiles!
Trust me I’m the Dartrix
more like Fartrix
In the Matrix.
As a male I think it’s glad they didn’t make a masculine water type. I don’t like it when all 3 are males as it’s sexist and makes females unfair, this is what I call poetic justice!
Then just make popplio 75℅ female
I love all of them. The starters look outstanding! I don’t get the gender debate that continues occuring! Yet, they look fine to me. Also, I’m kinda getting annoyed by people thinking Dartrix will not evolve into Grass3. Shooting arrows are in Dartrix’s bio! I doubt there is split evos too. Solely from the Riddler Leaks and Chinese Leaker!
I like them all! Still on Team Rowlet, but I wonder: are split evos still a possibility? It did say that Rockruff and the starters share a secret, which leads me to believe that could be very possible.
Opps new article. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1475683676049.png
I’m really hoping the final evo for Litten isn’t that. Just… can’t stand how he looks. Such a cool concept to go to something that, even if it’s fire/dark, just LOOKS like a fire/fighting.
well… it IS based on the Tiger from the Chinese Zodiac, along as well, the Tiger Martial Arts. And is a reference to Tiger Mask
You forgot where you try to connect it to the illuminati at the end.
Well, since he’s not on all fours, he’s not a Crouching Tiger.
I’m of the opinion that the Litten line as a whole is based on the bakeneko, a yokai said to transform from cats that live to advanced age. Characteristics include walking on hind legs, licking lamp oil, manipulating fire balls, and nefarious personality; one unique myth speaks of a bakeneko that would attempt to sumo wrestle any who approached it.
hes based off a heel wrestler hes dark type
Im warming up to it myself. Little by little mind you.
I can’t understand wat r u saying ???……my english is simple.
That I am beginning to like litten3
These evolutions are honestly so jarring, it’s hard to believe these Pokemon are even related O_O
Unfortunately, many Pokemon do suffer from this… 🙂
Litten and popplios final evos need gender diference..popplio need it more
Why? Braixen and Delphox didn’t have one. Samurott doesn’t have one. Although I’d much rather getting a female Popplio be easier, I wouldn’t see them doing it now.
I knew I wasn’t the only who wanted a female Popplio
Actually meganium has a male and female
All those pokemon do look more feminine, but could still pull off as a male. But Popplio’s final evolution looks straight up 100% female
I just want to be the first one to go on record and that Lillie has a connection with UB-1. Look at them, it even has the same hat when you look carefully
A bit late to be the first one on record, but I digress, the connection is pretty clear.
Lol. Are you trolling?
I like all of them, although I think I’ll be taking Rowlet in Sun and Popplio in moon simply because the Litten line, now that we’ve seen the whole thing, looks a tad generic to me.
