Putting Rowlet in the center would make it stand up more (it naturally blends into the brown and green background), would bring the focus of the shot dead-center while the other two elements catch your eye individually and make a bit more sense gameplay-wise (Litten -> Rowlet -> Popplio, Fire -> Grass -> Water)
