owl is certainly the best design, which is sort of a shame because taking the grass starter is usually less fun than water/fire. grass/flying is especially dubious. they should really make grass resist rock...
the other two starters are okay. but i think the gen6 starters were better. i'm sick of greninja and delphox's design is a bit clunky but all three of the kalos starters had really nice, intuitive, designs with interesting concepts.
the wrestling heel isn't a very interesting or versatile basis to me. the popstar thing is kind of cute but there isn't much in the design that really communicates the idea to me. meloetta is a more intuitive pop star pokemon. (with her musical staff hair and hands-free microphone)
i definitely think it's owl>seal>tiger in terms of design. the built in hood and bow just really push the owl design over the top.
