Eh... The region looks really nice. That's probably what I'm looking forward to the most... As for the rest, not so much. When I first saw the starters, I hated them. They looked like Digimon and I had no idea what I was looking at. Rowlet is defs my favorite of the bunch (actually love it's design, but I think I'd like it better if it were a regular Pokemon, and not a starter Pokemon - it just doesn't give off that started vibe to me), followed Popplio. Then we get to poor Litten, which I don't like. It's the most Digimon-esque looking to me, and the name Litten just looks like a combo of litter + kitten (litter as in trash, not baby kittens). But then again, I really hated the Gen 5 and 6 starters, and they really grew on me, so they'll probably do the same. I think my biggest issue is just the fact Litten looks so out of place. Majority of starters are a combo of green/red(/yellow/orange)/blue, where with this lot it's green/black/blue, and it just looks really out of place.
Legends are ehh... They don't seem to have that counterpart vibe every other generation has had.. It's like a lion and a bat? I don't see the connection. I get X and Y had a deer and a bird, but they still were in the shape of X and Y which made them look like counter parts, whereas these two just look like polar opposites, and not counterparts at all. I prefer the Sun legendary more tho (but I'm still going to get Moon).
I am a little disappointed by the originality of all the Pokemon though. Maybe it's just me being picky, but like Rowlett just looks like a modified Rufflet design AND name wise. Popplio looks like a modified Oshawott, Litten looks like a modified Fennekin, then the Sun legendary looks like Entei, and Moon legendary like Yveltal meets Noivern meet some cartoon bat character I remember watching on TV growing up that I can't remember. Again, this is probably just me being bitter because I'm not used to them. Give it a month and I'll probably be harping on about how great the designs are. I mean, literally in the ~40 minutes from the reveal to me posting this, my POV has already changed from "omg these are so horrible" to "these aren't
that bad".
Also, predicting that Popplio just turns into a clown, like how Oshawott turned into a four-legged samurai.
I'm just annoyed because Popplio looks like it should evolve into Samurott more than Oshawott LOL
