I remember I was kind of off put by its color scheme at first, but I still thought of it as cute because I find seals and sea lions cute, even the more sillier/fatter looking ones.
He kind of grew on me. It's just a sea lion pupper.
Shame its evolution tries its best to not be one, knowing to a extent what sea lions really are, they're just big water dogs in a sense. Curious as fuck and bite into anything, like to be lazy, but playful. Some are pretty, but they're arguably not the epitome of elegance. The maid sea lion just... feels like a woman clad in white that sheds what it previously was and its anatomy brushes me the wrong way. I'll still pick Popplio, but if the maid evolution turns out to be the only one he gets, I can't say I'm exactly thrilled by the thought.
Knowing there are some like me, I kinda wish we'd get split/day-night evos, but only because that would mean everyone would be happy and we wouldn't have such a need to create such a conundrum over final evos although I feel that's asking too much.
