When I get a rowlet (after the main story because I'm a one starter girl) I'm calling him Clockwerk.

I'm seriously tempted to name my mermaid seal Magicant to go with my good friend Flyingman the pom-pom style Oricorio. Teddy the Bewear is tempting but I doubt I'd go all the way with such a gimmick team if I can't have a Trubbish named Loid on it.

I'm not sure if this is a better or worse naming convention then I had in my initial playthrough of Y where I named everything after various drinks and sweets or my current one with an all female team with names ending in the letter A.

I'm probably gonna name the owl Grasscreed, or Shitashi if the word filter will allow it. My Noctowl from Pearl lost its nickname when I brought it into Gen 5, so we'll see.

It didn't have middle stages, but there are other things that confirmed that leak (showing off a character in the concept art later revealed in a trailer) and also they have design similarity to them.

Oh my god, I love Brionne so much. The other second starters look good too though.

I wish they'd just go ahead and confirm the third forms, they know we've all seen the leaks who do they think they're fooling?

I guess this reveal doesn't matter, it's a good thing the final starters leaked. Brionne is ugly but the siren is an improvement. Unfortunately Torracat evolves into an abomination. But overall these starters are so good that I want to use both Rowlet and Popplio.
