Popplio had to grow on me with a little time, but I imagined it would eventually evolve from a cute puppy to an amazing, reliable water dog. Kind of like a water version of Arcanine basically.
When initially leaked, Poppmaid and friends had to be fake in my mind; they were all ugly, trying too hard to be the next Greninja, and Poppmaid was way too gender-stereotyped to be believable. Then everything began to line up over time, and as of now, I still am very disappointed in Poppmaid's existence. The other two, Robinhoot is mediocre to me at best (trying way too hard to be the next Greninja), but Luchalitten is unacceptable.
I'm still clinging to the pathetic hope of split forms for final evos, but I have prepared myself to be ready to slap an Everstone/Eviolite on my Torracat (best-looking middle stage for fire starter in a long time), or box Litten as soon as I get Rockruff and have it act as my starter.
