Also I don't really like the way the other two look that much anyway.

As soon as that rumor was dropped, I was disappointed about Litten, but excited over Popplio and Rowlet. And seeing as how 90% of the players will be getting Rowlet (Meaning Rowlet won't exactly be difficult to get my hands on), Popplio quickly won my heart. That final form rumor is just icing on the cake.

I guess for someone whose favorite Pokemon is Milotic, it's not exactly surprising

Same here. #PopplioDefenseSquad

But I will be getting all 3 starters by Banking the first two, resetting after each, and starting for real with Popplio.

I considered doing that, but eh. I'm sure I could find someone to breed them for me about a few days after release.
I'm more concerned on whether or not I have the patience to soft reset for a female one

Popplio will not be that mermaid thing. It's not official, thus it's fake.

Well, it's the first evolution idea for it that isn't shit, so I'm holding onto that (As well as Mallow appearing in the Litten evo artwork)
Also, I don't know if true or not, but there seems to be a buzz that the person who quote-unquote revealed that also leaked the alternate types (I can't find any truth to that, though).

Basically, I want Popplio's evo to not look like shit, since other starter evo ideas look either like they were drawn by a 15 year old edgelord, or a humorless 30 year old.
This artwork gives me hope, and I'm going to hold onto it.

If the leaked artworks turn out to be true it’ll be pretty easy to pick a starter for me. Cure Mermaid Popplio is a big nope for me, same as Wrestlemania Litten. But I really like the idea of the archer Rowlet and it looks pretty cool.

GoseiWonder · 08-02-2016, 01:44 AM

They are all fake. Even if the ideas proved real (wrestler, archer, selkie), the artwork is 100% fake, it always will be. Even if it all turns out 100% real, the artwork will be 100% fake.

No. Not technically. Not how I'm reading it. Seems like an important aspect of being a "Delta Species" is that although the altered Pokemon - which is not done through natural means anyway - has new typing, it retains its old weaknesses. Plus looking at the card art, they all still look the same. These new ones are entirely new sub-species basically. Different enough to say it's not the same thing.

(Which as an aside is going to make reorganizing my living dex just oh so fun!

Hope we get more than gen 1 too.)

Don't kill the excitement! My definition of Delta species comes from the TCG and that Pokémon fan game: Pokémon Insurgence. Which in that game, Delta Pokémon have new typing and looks.
Example: Here's a Delta Gardevoir. An Electric/Ice type in Insurgence.

This logic makes no sense. Or are you just THAT opposed to the idea?
