So far none of the designs are favorites, but hopefully these base forms of the starters will be that 'awkward' stage usually reserved for stage 1 and it'll all be great from here on for them.
Doge is actually pretty cute but it's not looking unique enough so far to really grab me.
Koala is... a koala, holding a stump. I guess it's good we get a koala finally? Hopefully it has a decent evolution.
Zordgarde looks terrible. Looked terrible on reveal, looks terrible now. It's shit.
Gardedoge looks good, but really weird for being part of Zygarde. Not against it, just weird.
Magearna looks like shit. Looked like shit on reveal, looks like shit now. It's just robo-Diancie but even uglier.
Solgaleo is pretty good. A bit overdesigned, but I think that's acceptable with legendaries, especially box legendaries. The actual design is solid. Boo to typing. The sun Pokemon is x4 weak to Fire? And we get ANOTHER Psychic legendary? Bleh.
Lunaala is good but it needs polish and could have used a redraw. Great concept and I'm glad to see a legendary bat, but something's off. Don't like that it's ANOTHER Psychic legendary, and considering it's the MOON legendary it's retarded that it isn't Fairy, but it's a little more suiting than with Solgaleo. Weird it's x4 weak to Ghost, though.
Birb is cute but considering it's a fan concept, and considering how far off Doge's fan concepts were, I'm not judging yet. Hopefully they're right about it being a woodpecker, though.
