I've never really had a starter I could really relate to and have it as my very own in the games. Never really got too attached to them honestly. I was initially turning towards Rowlett, but for some reason, Popplio really got to me and I couldn't help but like the little fellow. More than any other starter. I don't know, maybe it's because I do find sea lions cute in a goofy way and maybe it managed to swipe that side of me.
Having seen the evolutions, I can still find myself liking Brionne, but when it comes to the supposed final evolution, I'm already finding myself struggling too hard to like it legitimately and fan art of it isn't doing me any favors.
Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. I won't even bother saying it's this or that, it's just that the design feels the complete opposite of what I'd usually pick and I'm ultimately not interested in it, no matter how elegant or pretty or strong it turns out to be. Its 3D model will inevitably be shown and hopefully, I'll grow fond of Poppmaid, but as of now, I'm just so completely underwhelmed by it.
