Yeah. Rowlet is maybe the cutest starter in Pokemon history, but its rumored final evolution is so tedious and bland. An adorable leaf bird turning into yet another bipedal humanoid thing is the most boring. If it really does happen, then a secondary starter evolution where Rowlet stays an owl would be super sweet.

I have nothing wrong with cool humanoid Pokemon (like Lopunny and Ampharos!), but Rowlet's rumored final evolution isn't cool and I was really looking forward to a cute owl that stays a cute owl through its whole line!

Its still a cute owl. It's just has longer legs now. I'm glad they kept it a barn owl and not a great horned owl like everything else (Even gen 2).

you know birds are bipedal to begin with right.

like, a bird's body shape is already fairly close to humanoid. and this



Isn't really that humanoid. It still has the backward bird legs, wings instead of arms and a pretty short body overall.

I think it looks pretty rad, probably in my top starter evos ever. Definitely less humanoid than, say, Blaziken or Greninja.


its a scaley.

Rowlet's final evo looks like trash (though it might look better as a 3D model with cool animations and stuff), but fortunately we can just slap an Eviolite on the middle stage if that looks as good as Rowlet itself. Might be the next Braixen.

I bet the popularity will go Wrestler Cat, Archer Owl, then lastly Siren Dog. I like all three, but the first two are definitely the ones I hear the most about.

Blaziken and Greninja are good and also more humanoid than the Owl. Owl is also good and I like him more than them :colbert:

Blaziken also loses a ton of points for having the most :effort: mega-evo.

I like archer owl. I think he looks far more bird-like than human-like.

I really hope his animations involve head bobbing.

Owls bob their heads up and down because they can't move their eyeballs. It's also why they can rotate their heads so much.

Kinda have to agree here.

Probably the most disappointing 3rd stage starter evo after a rad as hell first stage. Somehow worse than Samurott which is almost impressive.

It looks nothing like its previous forms (otter to sea lion wtf), goes from bipedal to quadrupedal, and has a sword that it holds with flippers (shoulda stayed on two legs if they were gonna do that.)
