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.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Sun & Moon Chat
they are all cool but i will still choose popplio on moon and rowlet in sun.
I got to admit though, these starters have character we haven’t seen in starters in a long time
Hm, Assuming the final evo leaks are true… to me, Popplio evo line still seems like the least of all evils–I mean, I had to look at Feebas for a while…
That or Litten2 with Everstone or Eviolite.
Also, lemme promote my new pic, Hau and Raichu (rf)

Nice.
I forgot inktober was a thing I think it’s too late to start .-.
You can still do only 1 a week for inktober. 🙂
Or if you’re crazy you can do 1 for each day you missed to catch up. <3
Do you have a site where you post your work?
Thanks for the interest! Everything is at: http://malachitecat.deviantart.com/
I only started using japanese-style painting recently though…
I never cared about the rowlet line and probably won’t, it’s the chespin/tepig of this gen. I love litten and torracat but I won’t accept litten3. I’ve learned to love Popplio and popplio3. Brionne is a mess but fortunately I won’t be with her for long
My favorites based on stage:
Base Stage: Litten’s
1st Evo: Popplio’s
2nd Evo: Rowlett’s
It just so happen to turn out I live at least on stage of the 3more than the rest
Sorry bae but Loyal to fire ….Team Litten. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1475649029601.gif
SO CUUUTE
Brionne’s in game model and animations are heart-meltingly adorable
so precious that she might be the cutest starter ever made
“Fabulouuus~!”
You can see the sadness in her eyes, just look at it. That’s so heartbreaking.
Yeah I can see that ….that cuz she didn’t show her sadness, I really like the eyes design it’s very unique.
I still can choose between popplio and litten even after their first evos, but I don’t rrally care for the leaked evos, so I’m still hoping for the chance of split evos.
Even more on Ream Popplio. I love Brionne, it’s so adorable and looks amazing! Also totally conforms the final form will be the siren/mermaid, which makes me ecstatic!
Other than that very disappointed by Dartrix, I was thinking about using Rowlet if I also bought Sun, which I’m debating but it looks hideous ala Quilladin. Actually like Torracat a bit so maybe I’ll use him with eviolite, since I despise his final form, which like Brionne definitely this evolution seems to confirm as real. Anyway super excited for this and can’t wait to play the demo on the 18th!
I like dartrix quite a bit. Im choosing popplio however as its final form is too beautiful to pass up.
I think these are shaping up to be the best starters since gen 4
Hmm…
Fave unevolved: Popplio (all are awesome)
Fave middle stage: Torracat
Fave (supposed) final: Lucha Tiger
I’m pretty much committed to Popplio, even if he turns out looking like a mermaid, or
https://media0.giphy.com/media/uE4gVmbjaZmmY/200_s.gif
Fave unevolved: Popplio (And Litten too)
Fave middle stage: Torracat
Fave (supposed) final: Mermaid-Popplio~
First stage: Rowlet, Pupplio/Litten
Middle stage: Dartrix/Torrcat, Brionne(Bribri ill give u some hope for an ugly duckling story)
Chinese leaker: Mermaid, Lucha Tiger, Robinhoot(meh..)
Never fucking think you can out speed a Scarfed Heracross in with a minus speed in sand
FUCKING LOST ALL BECAUSE OF A STUPID ASSUMPTION
Always do the math if you arent 100% sure. What were you using?
And one freaking Bulk Up makes Gallad invincible
TWO FUCKING LOSSES
Was it mega? He doesnt need the bulk up but it certainly helps!
It was mega, and that could’ve been avoided but like always Focus a Blast one shots Mamoswine and cost me my biggest psychic sweeper
Maybe try dugtrio? He makes an excellent revenge killer and coulda taught that heracross a thing or two with arial ace.(how dugtrio learns arial ace is beyond me.)
Frail as fuck, only good for trapping set up
Nope that loss cost my my 1558 rating and dropped me to the low 1400s
You should try a team of just shuckle
I hate shuckle with a burning passion
That pathetic snail should never have such a gimmick but they JUST HAD TO LET IT LEARN STICKY WEB
you hate alot of things
everything is a constant threat
Then use it. You might win who knows
You do realize everyone and their Grandmum carries Rabid Spin right or Defog?
Ok but no just use infestation a ton
Apparently it doesn’t work under a sub
Toxic!
I find 2 Bulk Ups hits that sweet spot
I find it ruins my day and my high rating
My favourite is setting up Sub Bulk Up on that fat fish in RU (yeh you know the one). Can’t do shit to me as I set up in its stupid face.
What one Poliwrath?
Alomomola.
Anything with Sub and a set up move, sets up in that things face and it’s the best feeling in the world.
I hate that fish, when is ground gonna get an healer we got nothing
when is ice types gonna get a bulky tank.
You did but the trade-off is a mildly sunny day melts it
stop swearin it doesnt make u cool
Swearing is for fools!
It doesn’t make you cool!

ice makes u cool
Wanna swear? just replace it with an ice pun!
AW FLAKING ICE SLEETS
So… Potato -> 11th Doctor -> Green Arrowl
Emo cat -> Rebel Cat -> Cheater Tiger
Ugly little Girl Seal-> Cheerleader Seal-> Ariel
Isn’t the 11th Doctor a potato too?
Pretty much
I hate to admit it but it looks like Beltigre is going to be another Fire-Fighting starter
its fire/dark
Let’s pray to God it is
the text in chinese says fire/dark
Oh Thank Christ. Now if they only did that for Fennekin and made it kitsune based, we would’ve had a winner
Torracat is my favorite 1st stage starter since monferno
Underwhelming. Nothin special, but nothing horrible. I Think they’re all fitting. Its the 3rd evolutions that I think are the disappointing ones.
Grass and Fire are really good, I got a bit more used to Popplio’s evo. Still not really sure why they choose this direction for it.
I still can’t decide they all look awesome!! Mabey rowlet or popplio though…
Now that the second evolutions of the partner Pokemon have sunk in, what’s everyone thinking for their team(s) so far? Here are mine…
Sun 1 (Cosimo):
Torracat
Lycanroc (Midday form)
Komala
Crabrawler
Oricorio (Sensu Style)
Jangmo-O
Sun 2 (Aurora):
Brionne
Bewear
Raichu (Alola Form)
Lurantis
Oricorio (Baile Style)
Ninetales (Alola Form)
Moon (Jeff):
Dartrix
Lycanroc (Midnight Form)
Drampa
Oranguru
Salandit
Mimikyu
I’m still debating on Brionne. If I decide against it, I’ll only get one Sun and one Moon and just have Cosimo and Jeff as my characters. And then my teams would change to this:
Sun (Cosimo):
Torracat
Lycaroc (Midday Form)
Komala
Oricorio (Baile Style)
Crabrawler
Jangmo-O
Moon (Jeff):
Dartrix
Lycanroc (Midnight Form)
Drampa
Oranguru
Bewear
Ninetales (Alola Form)
This gif sums up my feeling towards the starters (refresh)

But I feel like the “flame sac” would actually burn your hand…
thus the mitten
I didn’t even notice it…
GrassStarterFirstEvolution one is so funny. I actually like GrassStarterSecondEvolutionRowlet3.0 very much.
I love that Dartrix lol
LoquaciousUxie since on the other article you said you liked a certain game how about you come to a channel I made on Disqus here’s the link
https://disqus.com/home/channel/yokaiwatch2bonyspiritsfleshysouls/
I’ll be sure to get on once I get YW2…. Whenever that can happens…
It’s ok just gonna say it is SUPER FUN!!!!
Littens final evo could be on the front of a new Pokemon cereal though if they ever wanted to do that
Watching the old seasons with a list of all non-filler episodes at your disposal is like the best thing ever.
It’s so amazing how Popplio evolves into Ash Greninja https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ea706181f2e2950de314226e5f3a32237f47a6f1b9de29675106b8870011c371.png
PS. I know it doesn’t, this is a joke
I think you will FIND THAT IT DOES.
No, this is legit.
Who would of guessed?!

Im Soooo disapointed in Popplio like really disapointed, his evolution is tragic.
On the other hand Torracat is so good that he makes his evolution looks bad.
Dartrix is so silly..I only hate the leaf hair cut but other than that its fine.
Brionne is not tragic, she’s just an abomination
