Which Alola Starter Is Your Favorite Based On The First Stage Only?

[Tepig Pignite Emboar 969]

I know this has been done before, but I was thinking of making topics and polls of my own on which starter is your favorite based on each form. Now remember, each of you will obviously have opinions on this and I will have mine as well.

So this topic is which of the Alola Starters do you like based on their first stage only? Mine is Litten.

I’m sadly the only Popplio fan here. It was my choice from the moment they were first revealed, and I’ll never understand why people pick on it just because of its nose. The most popular choice (Rowlet) is to me, extremely overrated.

Mine would be Litten. I've always liked its design. Although, I like Rowlet, too.

Rowlet, he's an adorable wee owl, how can you not love him

As cute as I find Popplio, Rowlet's def my fave of the first stages. It's small, round, and friend-shaped.

Litten. It's cute how a little cat turns into a big wrestler that can tear through any potential intruders.

Rowlet, purely because I have a Rowlet plushie that I snuggle with when I'm down.

Popplio and it's evolutionary line suffered from the whole it being too feminine. I for one enjoy Primarina and Popplio but Brionne..
I understand why people dislike the line.

I think Litten and it's evolutionary line is the worst since it doesn't feel natural. The jump from a fire cat to an evil cat wrestler is just jarring for me

Nyabby (Litten) is arguably my favorite Gen VII Starter. I tend to gravitate towards Fire-type Starters in general, so it's not surprising.

Popplio is super cute and definitely my favourite Alola starter from the base form options. :]
