When the starters were first announced, I took an immediate liking to Popplio. It's cute, but it also has the most potential. I'm not surprised that the fakemon evolutions for Popplio are very diverse and unique in design. Popplio's design lends itself well to a number of creative interpretations.

I love the Pierrot-inspired design for Popplio2. Even if it does turn out to be fake, I feel it merits credit for being so culturally rich in inspiration. It's an ingenious blend of mermaid, circus acrobat, and Pierrot clown. It's a striking and very artsy design.

Popplio3 is elegant, sleek, and refreshingly feminine. I love the mythology of mermaids, and I think a Pokemon specializing in vocal attacks (like Disarming Voice) is very exciting. Its cool color scheme is pleasing to the eye.

I just love these designs, and I'm very excited to see them in the game. I was wondering if anyone else felt the same (whether for Popplio or the other starters).
