They do look identical, but on the other hand so do all anime characters so it seems odd to single out this one in particular.

It's disappointing how each of the starters has the same head shape and body shape. Litten, Rowlet, and Popplio were a much stronger showing.

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
The starters seemed odd on the first impression, but seeing them in action, I like them. Shocked I will probably use the Fire one first, this never happens. I am afraid it will turn out Fire/Fighting, but maybe they surprise us. Fire/Ground? God, Fire/Steel would rule. Or Fire/Fairy.

Basing the region off England seems like a good call, and it's cool that it seems like both box legendaries might be wolves.

Given the number of British myths involving Fae folk I will be disappointed if there's not a bunch of new Fairy types. Still holding out for Fairy/Fire, Fairy/Dark (evil elves?), Fairy/Poison, and a proper Fairy/Dragon line.

The city on the top of the map is London, you can see the big ferris wheel. Also there's a forest to the left of the starting area, you can see a road leading there.

This might be the first time I go for a grass starter. Avocado Monkey just won my heart

Get bashed, platonist!

It's about time we get a fire/steel pokemon that isn't legendary. It seems like such a natural pairing, I can hardly believe we haven't seen more of it. I don't think it's an overpower type combo. Sure it only has 3 weaknesses, but Ground, Fighting, and Water are pretty common types and the Ground weakness is 4x.

They're first of three forms, it makes sense they'll have a baby aesthetic. They'll almost certainly be much more distinct in evolution.

I mean, obviously, but it's still more pronounced than usual for this series. Like, look at litten from last gen. It's still a baby, but it's also much more distinctively a cat at the same time. A kitten, if you will. The new ones downplay their animalistic characteristics in favor of looking more baby-ish.

it’s a good idea, but I think personally I’d get annoyed that I was limited to one of six (or twelve) and would have to play through a bunch of times to play them all. it works with Eevee cause you can get all or most of them at some point in the game or postgame.

other people who aren’t as nuts as me would probably enjoy it though
