It had to be done. The starters have been released and we must now discuss. What do you want the game to offer? What pokemon would you like to see? Which game would you get? Popplio Rowlet & Litten I'm so happy they did a cat starter! I'm not 100% on the design though but its growing on me the more i look at it... i hope it stays on all fours though... i don't like it when they suddenly go up onto 2 legs like Fennekin =< I really hope we can custom out looks and its been hinted in the video release that you can so i hope its true. November is sooooooo faaarrr awaaayyyy! I've just replayed though Y... now i might replay though one of ORAS.... Need to trade out all my good pokemon first though.

I'm so going the fire type starter route this time. I think it'll now make my fire and grass starter times even. ^^; I'm kinda disappointed in the grass starter, but that was because of some fake starters that were going around. The fire and water types looked a lot like these, but the grass one was a dinosaur looking one..I would've had to play both starters and get both games. And I've already pre-ordered Moon.

I'd heard theories on what the starters would be, based on their names...and it looks like they were right about them. I was really looking forward to the fire starter, as I thought it'd look really amazing...
I'm actually really disappointed. xD Of all the amazing fan art I've seen that it could have been...this is the least interesting thing I've seen. But who knows, maybe it'll be neater when it evolves. I'm going to bet it won't be on all fours like everyone will want, same as what happened with Fennekin. I'll be happier if it would though. xD
The grass starter also looks pretty disappointing, but I think the fully-evolved form of it has some potential to be amazing.
I like the water starter best of the unevolved forms, but it'll probably evolve to look angry and mean (seems to be a theme lately xD) so I don't know that my opinion of it later on will be the same.
I shall make no choice until I see how they all evolve, as that's what I'll be stuck looking at. xDD Anyway, it comes out a little too close to Christmas, so I'll be hoping to get that for a gift around then. It's already made my wishlist. <3

Almost always has it turned out for me that my starter pokemon never evolves... almost always i have to find an everstone. The first starters i got for my first play through each game were Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Oshawott, Fennekin. Of these only Cyndaquil and Turtwig i ever evolved during play (though i did breed a second one to evolve for the Dex). I even have a Shiny Mudkip who is forever stuck coz hes lvl 100. Like you guys i always wait to see what they look like but I'm still leaning towards Litten just because hes a cat xD I always get excited for cat pokemon but their never very strong... Not like my lil Dedenne x3
I hope we get more beast pokemon this year, i don't like pokemon that are based on objects for example ice cream!

Star ★ I always evolved my starters, but I think I finally drew the line at Tepig. xD That one was so CUTE and in my opinion, evolved to be pretty awful looking. There was absolutely no way I could let mine evolve. But then, being an unevolved Pokemon, it was very difficult to use in battle as it was easy to knock out with a good physical move...so it ended up in the PC, and that wasn't any fun either. :\ I wish unevolved Pokemon could have the potential to be strong enough to hold their own against evolved Pokemon if they hit a certain level, or something. And wow, somehow I never thought of a Pokemon being 'stuck' to never evolve because it hits level 100...that's true, you really couldn't evolve them again after that point! xD Well, the level-evolvers anyway. I was also excited about the idea of it being a fire cat...it sounded awesome! But I dunno, its' appearance just isn't that cool to me. Again though, I may change my mind about it later on...hard to say at this point. We could use stronger cat Pokemon though, agreed. xD I don't mind Pokemon based off objects if they can be cute or neat looking...(I thought Vanillite's was kinda cute, at least xD) But there are some (like certain freaking trash bag Pokemon...REALLY???) that are just absolutely ridiculous. That said, Trubbish and Garbodor, stupid-looking as they were, actually turned out to be an awesome addition to my team when I tried it out to see if I could like the Pokemon a little bit more. It worked. I do like it a bit more. But it was still clearly a running-out-of-ideas idea, I'm willing to bet. xDDD

My daughter immediately said that she's going to choose Litten, mainly because it's a cat I think. She loves customising her character so I also hope that feature stays. I'm not stuck on that design for Popplio at all. It's cute but it kind of looks like a circus act, maybe that's what they were going for but it doesn't appeal to me. I'm leaning towards Rowlet but I'll see what the evolutions are like. DD likes the look of the lengendary from Moon so she'll probably get that and I'll have Sun. We're still playing X and Y at the moment though, six badges each but she's wimped out of going through the caven for some reason so I'm going to have to continue on without her and hope she decides to catch up.

I'm not very fond of the new releases tbh xD I tried playing the last two games but both are still nowhere near completion (one is barely at the beginning). It just doesn't feel the same honestly. The last Pokemon game i really enjoyed was SoulSilver so that kinda... says something lmfao. I still like the Mystery Dungeon series and the last one released was pretty neat if a little bit silly. Not as in depth or enjoyable as Explorers of Sky (especially since they basically removed all items and replaced them with emeras), but it had a nice and interesting story, so it was worth playing through solely for the story.

I'm really torn on the starters to be honest. They're strange but cute-ish. I guess overall, it doesn't matter for me. I always get some starter and end up using a different Pokemon. Plus sometimes they have those free events at Gamestop where you can go in and download a Pokemon. But basically I don't use the starters much. The graphics look nice in this game though, and I hope there's customization.

I do think I'll wait to see the evolutions before I decide for sure, but as of right now, I'm leaning towards Rowlet. I really think it has potential to evolve to something neat.
As for whether I get Sun or Moon...that'll totally depend on which Pokemon are exclusive to which. I actually JUST saw an ad for the game and saw it'll all be in tropical-looking places. ;-; AMAZING. I cannot wait!!

I think the starters look alright! Better than the ones for the last few generations. Rowlet is probably my favourite, but then, I have a thing for owls. Litten is also cute, but seems a bit uninspired. Popplio is kind of meh, that's the sort of design that doesn't do it for me at all. But like others have said above, it all completely depens on what their fully evolved forms look like, because that's what you'll be using for most of the game. Right now I'm tending towards Rowlet.
Really don't care for the legendaries. They look like the same old, same old overdesigned, giant, brute, ugly looking legendaries we've been getting since Sinnoh. There are way too many of them.
As for features I hope to see... character customization is always fun, but I don't feel like I really need it. Like Star I hope we get more animal (and maybe plant) based pokémon rather than cogwheels and lawn mowers. =P I just hope we get more of all the things that have made the past games fun!

^ Okay I can agree about Klink's line...between their design and their silly names, that was just ridiculous. xDD

I'm very excited about this new Pokémon generation as well! Like most of you I'm going to wait for the reveal of their final evolution forms before making my final decision, but for now Popplio is probably my favorite. I just hope they won't mess him up with his evolutions. Rowlet is adorable as well, though. I've always been a fan of Noctowl (who I think deserves a mega evolution for sure! Perhabs something scary looking like the owl from the movie Secret of Nimh...anyone?=D) so I'm looking forward to his evolution line too. It definitely has a lot of potential.
I'm still not quite sure if I want to go with Sun or Moon, although at this point I'm leaning more towards Sun. Moon does have the more original legendary though, as we already have a lion/ big cat legendary in Entei and Raikou.
I hope they'll make it more challenging to aquire the Exp.Share this time around, though. I absolutely love the X&Y games, but receiving the Exp. Share so early on in the game without even having to work for it made no sense to me. By the time I got to the elite four my Pokémon were already around lvl 80, while the champion's highest level pokémon was only lvl 68...no funxD haha.
I do hope to see some new mega evolutions, but I'm also very curious to see what new Pokémon designs they've come up with. I think it's save to say we're finally getting a dolphin pokémon though?=D

^ Speaking of lion Pokemon...Sun's legendary looks a bit too similar to Pyroar in shape. The mane looks almost exactly the same. Well, okay the mane shape is a little different, but the way it seems to have sections, almost like how you'd draw flower petals...you know what I'm trying to say? It's still the same general idea. I think if they're gonna keep making lions, they should try different drawing styles with the manes. Maybe something rounder and more fluffy?
I am intrigued by Moon's very unique legendary though. I'm starting to hope Moon has more Pokemon I'd want in it, because I think I may rather catch that legendary more.
Also, I rather like Popplio myself, I just have a gut feeling I'll hate the final evolution stage. That said, I actually see a lot of hate around for Popplio already...anybody know why? I don't really know why people dislike it, just that the majority seems to.

It's been a long while since the last time that I have been able to play any Pokémon games and I am a tad bit a little behind on learning all of the many new types of Pokémon there are out there now, but my daughter, lil mizz Aniyah Kairi Kay, loves watching all of the Pokémon TV shows, movies, and YouTube videos, among many other things of interest of course. ^_~ She's been also into Digimon, Yokai Watch, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Monster Rancher and Gargoyles {both some of my own personal favez; I still have the PS2 game Monster Rancher 4, believe it or not. <3 though I don't actually own a working PS2 or PS3 anymore sadly so I have several game favorites that I can't actually be able to play at the moment. ^^; }, among many others. She even hexed a Pikachu cat in Petz 5, which you can view in the Pix Of My Litter section of the boards here at RKC, if ya' like to. ^w^ It's a lotta' fun enjoying, reliving, and sharing all of my many childhood favorite things with my lil mini me. ^3^ She loves so many of the same things that I do. ^^ She loves pets and animals, fantasy, video games {Petz 5, Sims 3, Zoo Tycoon 2, Spore, et cetera, to name a few.}, and lots of other things of interest and enjoyment that we both share a fondness for. n__n I do so very muchly love her, so incredibly muchlies, with all of my heart, mind, soul, and every fiber of my being, and I am so very grateful, blessed, lucky, and thankful for to have her in my life and to share my life with, every day and every night of my life. <333 *hugglesnugz her lil mizz Aniyah Papiyah, Niyah Piyah, Niy Piy, Baby GIrl, Hunny Muffin, Snuggle Monkey, Cuddle Buddy, et cetera with the nicknames* xD

eeeeee I'm so excited to see this thread! I haven't decided on a starter yet. I probably won't until the game is in my hands. Or until I see the 3rd evolutions (I agree that I really want Litten to stay on all 4's .___. ) I'm definitely going to purchase Sun, though. Also, the 3DS has SO many good titles. I can't wait for November, and a few other releases this year.. I really kind of just want Nintendo/whoever makes games to stick wtih the system longer before the Nintendo NX comes out because I the 3DS is often and I really don't wan to shell out $ for a new system. /mini rant I'd love for them to bring back the "pokemon follow you around" that was a thing in silver, though in the trailer it doesn't look like that will be a thing. I also really loved the mini-games (poke-olympics or something?) in Silver. Silver was such a good title. Part of me still wishes I had it/is tempted to get copy of it again even though I had sold it. I can't remember which titles this was a thing in, either, but I LOVED going underground and mining for those gems and fossils and whatnot. That was super fun. Maybe it's actually in X and I just didn't get far enough, but I doubt it. I just loved those little things that strayed from the core game that is always consistent and gave you more stuff to do. I really really really hate the roller skates in Pokemon X/Y so my hope is that they don't bring that back. I actually haven't finished pokemon X yet, so I ought to do that.... I haven't played OROS, either (mostly because it seemed a lot like Ruby, which I did like a lot, though). I'm a bad pokemon fan, apparently. EDIT: CatCreature -- I don't understand why people hate Popplio, either. I think it's a cute starter Honestly, I think hating Popplio sort of became a trend and it's sort of group mentality/internet thing that people are just enjoying hating on him/her xD
