Everyone’s ragging on Pokémon Sun and Moon’s new starter, Popplio – Defense force, engage

Now that you’ve met Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, which do you think has the most potential? #PokemonSunMoon

#Popplio likers are definitely OK with clowns and therefore not to be trusted

guys, we can’t ALL be baby grass owls. One of us is gonna have to be that dopey seal pup

Look guys I’m just gonna say it, Popplio is the absolute WORST looking starter Pokemon in the entire franchise

Popplio is the worst water starter EVER. Way to ruin a beautiful lineage.

here’s my opinion on the starters:

litten – tries hard, accomplishes little

rowlet – Owl

popplio – terrible clown from the sea. cast it back

Popplio evolves, folks. This crazy dog seal could wind up turning into a gargantuan beast of nature, and Popplio will remember. Let’s see what kind of goofy fire cat you get with Litten when Popplio evolves into some sort of hell seal with a lust for destruction.

Of course, every internet movement is met with a counter. I’ve actually seen more people giving Popplio love than hate as the word spread that he was the “lamest” of the three starters. The love often includes art.

to all u haters https://t.co/eaKC1FOM9N 👏

Things we as a species don’t deserve:

– Popplio

– His neck ruffles

– His cute nose
