It was incredibly obvious, but Amazon's synopsis for the games mentions islands, as in multiple.

I certain hope they'd include more than one island. I mean, why bother basing off Hawaii if they only used one?

Game Freak confirms no new Water types in this generation. Poppolio is actually the first addition of the new Clown type.

In all seriousnees, I'll be really impressed if they manage to get by without creating another pure Water-type fish Pokemon.

I don't think gen VI had any traditional fish added. But seeing as this is Hawaii, I'm betting we'll see at least one new fish.

Or maybe Game Freak will finally give us that dolphin mon.

Am I honestly the one who sees more Poppilo love than hate? Like I'm indifferent to the thing but everywhere I go I see comments that say why do people hate poppilo more than I see comments that actually hate on the thing.

Maybe it's only a presumed hate and all the Popplio fans and neutralists are just perpetuating the presumption by posting those threads.

Rowlet and Litten were clearly more popular early on, but that made Popplio the clear underdog. So people who sort of liked now really like it to give it support, and that means that it pretty much matches the others in popularity now. Actually, it recently feels like Litten is now the least popular. Though they're probably all about equal.

I'll admit, my first immediate reaction to Popplio was a negative one, but I decided to try to be more positive about it.

It's probably my least favorite starter, but I don't think I hate it. Hopefully it's evolutions are good.

What would you do with a dolphin Pokemon to make it unique? Personally, I'd go with:

Water/Fairy

Swift Swim

100/40/80/100/60/120

And give it Water Spout, among other good moves.

I actually came up with a hypothetical dolphin-based Water starter that increasingly gains bat-like features and turns into a somewhat dragon-like Water/Flying-type that can swim through the air.

I'll admit, my first immediate reaction to Popplio was a negative one, but I decided to try to be more positive about it.

It's probably my least favorite starter, but I don't think I hate it. Hopefully it's evolutions are good.

Yeah, same for me. It's my least favorite of the three, but I can't stand the negativity it faces, so it got some bonus points in my book. Plus, I had to realize that I actually don't have anything against Popplio as a base form. It's very cute in a very innocent way and has a lot of silly personality. It's just a kind of personality that I wouldn't like to see being too prominent in its final stage. Simply put, it's very silly right now, and it can stay silly, but it'll have to be joined by something else like coolness or prettiness. If they can pull off that synergy of appeals, it could very well end up being my favorite after all.

Oh, and make it bluish-grey, with its Shiny coloring being light pink.

Popplio is my least favorite of the Alola starters going by base forms alone. Its design just feels wonky to me; the fact that the body's all one color makes it look a little unnatural, and the body looks somewhat flat and flimsy.

That being said, it's grown on me since the reveal, and even though I still like Rowlet and Litten more I've come to like it as well.

Don't have any comments on hypothetical dolphin Pokemon; I think that conversation's probably better placed in the general thread.

My view of the starters at the moment is Litten>Popplio>Rowlet. That is subject to change as evolutions are revealed.

I don't really understand disliking or hating Pokemon. Apathy, sure, but I rarely feel negative feelings towards fictional characters in general.

Announcement of date of new info (or even release date) always comes with required secondary power of forcing listeners to experience the slowing down of time until the target date.

you could tell people who keeps on saying "Litten has sulfur symbol!" aren't paying attention to (cartoon) tigers depicted in anime or Japanese video games, or haven't seen kemono art of tigers.
