    I'm actually surprised it took them this long to do regional versions, seems like a no brainer to me. I'm actually loving the Palm Tree Exeggutor variant.

    Sandshrew/Sandslash has a personal touch for me. Sandslash was one of the powerhouses of my team when I first played Pokémon. And Ice is one of my favorite elements (even if the Type sucks defensively). It's just so pretty.

    Really hyped to use a new Sandslash. It looks great.

    Two quad weaknesses is not exactly great, though.

    If those forms are legit, Litten will def be fire/dark.

    ALSO HOW CAN YOU THINK A MERMAID POKEMON IS UGLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

    Agreed. Looks like a wrestling heel. Fire/dark is my bet as well, but I'm in the minority in that I wouldn't be mad with another fire/fighting type either since it's a very solid all around type combo

    And my guess is grass/flying (remaining from Rowlett) and water/fairy typing for the other two.

    It does look like a wrestling heel... But that's part of the point. It looks like a WRESTLER. That's a fighting style. Heck, it's shown grappling two different Pokémon in its concept images. Storm Throw, Circle Throw, Submission, Seismic Toss, Vital Throw... They're all Fighting moves, because it's a fighting style.

    The Litten evolution's design would be more believable as a Fighting/Dark than a Fire/Dark.
    I mean, Emboar looks like Fire/Dark from the design as well.

    But it's not.

    But, really, I just... I really hate that design. It goes from a sleek, standoffish kitty cat that doesn't express itself well to a big, hulking, bipedal thing that is barely a cat anymore, and doesn't even really seem evocative of a Fire type.

    For real? When those were posted back in May I was sure they were just fan art, nut now I'm mad.

    The starter's final evolutions are interesting. Rowlett's final form looks pretty nice, has a sort of Robin Hood vibe that I approve of. Popplio is my second favourite with a decent sort of mermaid look.

    But I really disapprove of Litten's final evolution. I'm with Skyblade, it looks horrendous. And by the looks of it, it seems to be Fire/Fighting. It's clearly doing fighting moves in some of those sketches. I'd be okay with Fire/Dark, but if it is another Fire/Fighting then I'm going to be pretty disappointed. I wasn't a fan of Emboar's look whatsoever, and he was the third Fire/Fighting in a row. Wasn't a fan of Blaziken either. Infernape wasn't bad.

    By the looks of it, I'll probably end up picking Grass first for the first time since... huh. Have I ever chosen Grass first? Maybe Bulbasaur way back in Gen I.

    Robin Hoot is pretty cute. Mermaid is BEST. I don't really care about the Litten evolution because I was never particularly impressed or fond of Litten to begin with.

    Robin Hoot (perfect nickname, well done Jinx) looks great! I was already tending towards Rowlett as my first starter - I like owls - and this has just helped confirm it for me.

    Vis a vis the Alola forms, I think it's a great way to breathe some new life into classic Pokemon designs. The Exeggcutor redesign makes perfect sense, a palm tree's bound to grow to a greater height in a tropical environment. And icy Ninetales is a thing of beauty.

    Honestly I'm fine not choosing the (twisted) fire starter this generation. I really loved Fennekin in Gen VI, and I haven't chosen a Grass type in ages. I'll be jumping on the Robin Hoot train!

    EDIT: When this generation comes out, would it be too much to temporarily request a name change to Formahoot? Eh, probably a bad idea.
