Serebii Joe retweeted this image. Top left above the whiteboard. Eight silhouettes, four with names. Could it be Gym Leaders as an Easter Egg? I wouldn't put it past Nintendo. Looks like Caitlin, Pablo, Hoku(?), and Ed fron left to right. Caitlin is the only one that goves me pause because GF wouldn't reuse the name and I'm a bit hesitant to think the Caitlin we already have would go from Frontier Brain to E4 to Gym Leader. Seems like a series of demotions.

I literally squeed at Popplio. May end up my new favourite. Such a great Water starter after last gen's letdown.

And a grass owl! That's cool. It's adorable but looks like it can hold its own, too. Which, given the typing, may not prove true, but we can dream, right?

Litten is cutish I guess. Its colouration could be better. It's not cool like Liepard, but it's not terrible like Purugly. We'll see.

I think the only Gen where I had a better first impression of the starters was Gen V. Good work.

Sun legend is pretty epic, I'm impressed. Moon legend... well, I think it has potential, but the small shots we got didn't seem too flattering. I'd like to see better pictures before I make a full judgment there.

Foxes are technically canines and Cyndaquil is the "Fire Mouse" Pokemon.

"Dogs belong to the taxonomic family Canidae (canines) which is divided into two tribes: those related to wolves (Canini) and those related to foxes (Vulpini)."

and Cyndaquil is listed as the 'Fire Mouse' Pokemon.


Due to these, it's pretty easy to argue that they are both still draw their influence from the zodiac.

My opinions on the reveals:

Spoiler: show
Rowlett is cute, no argument. However with that typing I have a fear that it may be like Chikorita and do poorly with most of the gyms. However with it being a tropical region and having an ice gym in gens 4-6 might mean that its biggest weakness might not be too much of a issue.

Litten I think is my favourite. It looks kinda simple, but I find it oddly hilarious and awesome that its described as having its fire attacks based of flaming hairballs. Pretty original idea there.

Popplio is... eh. Looks rather goofy and we've already had two line of water typed seals that were somewhat lacklustre. Of course, seeing the final evolutions of these Pokemon and seeing what type the gyms are might change these opinions.

The box legendaries look interesting, but I can't wait to hear about the lore behind them. However, I find them a little too similar to X&Y's legendaries, one quadrupedal, one flying. And there is presumably a third one waiting in the wings to complete the triad.

Hawaii is an interesting region to go to. While I'm not particularly familiar with the area, I know it's rather diverse in the people there and it has several observatories that tie into the whole sun and moon thing. I can't wait to hear more info.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OH MY GOD HYPE HYPE HYPE

CANNOT CHOOSE B/W FIRE AND WATER, I WANT A CAT BECAUSE CAT PRRSON BUT THAT SEAL IS ADORABLE

CUSTOMIZATION IS BACK PLEASE YES OH MY GOD YES BIGGER WARDROBES PLEEEEEASE YESSSSSSS

NOT TO SAY THAT THE DEFAULTS DON'T LOOK COOL, THEY'RE ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD THIS TIME

Okay let me calm down a second because I need to point out one thing. Notice a lot of the areas pointed out. I can point out multiple parallels to Ranger: Guardian Signs. That wooden stage that gets run across? Looks a lot like the Rainbow Dais stage from Renbow Island. One of those dirt paths looks a lot like a splice from the ruins where you run into Suicune in that game as well. And yet we had to have the entirely new region despite the fact that the place is literally Oblivia 2 the electric boogaloo like seriously that place even had lore tied to Lati@s so we could have had Soaring again too. But I guess it's not so bad. I'll admit I though Sun!Legend was Mega Entei for a second.

BUT SERIOUSLY CAT OR SEAL WHAT DO I DO

I'd suggest Litten, personally, because it's Litten.

They kind of screwed up the sea lion (It's the nose). Go with Litten. Firey hairballs of death.

I genuinely hope that the adkrable bowtie means we will get an a rather dapper final evolution owl.

...Ooh, that should prove interesting. I'll probably want a Litten something fierce, but Meowth has consistently insisted on being the only cat on the team.

I really like Rowlett and Litten - I'll probably have to go with the Rowlett as I always struggle to find a flyer during my playthrough.

You're not wrong, but would you really call Hawaii a return to America in the same way you would if they had set the game in Los Angeles, Seattle, Texas etc.?

I figured Hawaii's Polynesian culture was still fairly intact, albeit artificially for the sake of its tourism industry. If anything France and New York have more in common due to their shared ancestry.

Pfft, I have to be honest that I was a bit let down about the new starters and legendaries, but I've mulled it over and I like them quite a bit.
Spoiler: show
Rowlett might prove to be an interesting evolution. It's 'powerful kicks' (according to Serebii translation) gives me the idea it would be Grass/Fighting eventually. Litten, ugh, another cat Pokémon? This had better be some kick-ass tiger or something because it's facing stiff competition to get a unique and interesting design. Popplio was the one that made me think this was a joke, but I have to say that it grew on me. I mean I can understand the idea of having some Pokémon that seem more domesticated and such and I can't wait to see what it's final evolution would look like, especially with those signature balloon bubbles. I'm going to wait for the final evolutions to come out before I make any decisions. I can't choose right now any way. I love lions and their manes and such, but I have to say I prefer the Moon legendary. I agree that the lion looks awesome though (tough choices). And yay for customisation. And yay for Electric Gym Leader Wattson returning with a frown and a suntan to become the new Professor (I assume?)

Also, I just want to say: the last 2 generations had a certain theme to the starters. The Unova region had a European-Chinese-Japanese history theme while Kalos had the RPG Warrior-Magician-Rogue theme. With how Popplio looks I'm expecting some kind of stage/entertainment theme happening. I mean I can very easily imagine Rowlett developing some kind of Kabuki mask theme in it's further evolutions. Just look at it's face right now (personal feeling). Litten's description has it as a Pokémon that doesn't display it's emotion which kind of reminds me of something but I can't place my finger on (anyone???).

Last thing: Obviously, this would be the dumbest generation ever to decide to remove the Day/Night cycle. I'm just saying, with Sun and Moon, this should be expected.

Getting Sun, Moon's legend...does not impress.

I'm gonna have to go Litten though. It'll be my first time going into a region for the first time with the Fire starter, and I'm such a cat person. Litten final evo for my eventual Cat Gym huh huh yeah you know it. Will definitely go for Popplio in some way after clearing my blind nuzlocke (first playthrough), though. It's too adorable to pass up.
