Baby Trix Rabbit.
Bootleg Mudkip.
Neglected Grass Type mkVIII.

I’m hoping their evolutions are cool, because I’m not really excited for any of the three.
Theyre asking one...so please choose WTF.

I honesty hope the bunny evolutions don't suck. We haven't had a decent fire starter since second gen.

Edit: It has got to the point I beat the Elite Four without evolving the starter in the new games.

"I'm basically a head with legs" - Jigglypuff and Clefairy.
"I'm a Rat" - Rattata.
"I'm Weed" - Oddish
"I'm just a ball made of two colors" - Voltorb

You act like Pokemon hasn't ALWAYS had ridiculous and simple designs that seem lazy lol. You said "Bring back", but it's more like you are looking for something that never really was the standard.

Nice projection there. I am ok with "just a head with leg", "just a weed" or "just a rat" if the design is belivable and detailed. At least the early gen starters heads were not just a sphere. This starter seems to be designed to be the most easy thing to model and to sell the most plushes.

I think this image describe perfectly what I mean :

I will reserve my judgement for when I see the evolutions but right now all of the options seem kind of crappy. That said, probably Sobble because I doubt Scorbunny's final evo is going to look much good.

I've always leaned toward Water types (Bulbasaur and Litten being exceptions) but I like Grookey the best just from this first impression. My mind can and likely will change after their evolutions and dual typing (assuming that's the case) are revealed however.

Too soon. It's not worth asking that question right now, since what you'll see most of the game will be the final evolution, which hasn't been shown yet.
Unless you refuse to evolve them...*cough cough* me with braxien.

Shhh you're not supposed to talk shit about Gen 1 Pokémon. Like to the two that are literally based on Pokéballs, or the pile of sludge, or the magnet ball, or the weed, or the eggs. Those were real Pokémon.
No, those weren't that great either. I mean, plants are fine, and I kinda give Magnemite/Magneton a pass for being robotic-looking and having a cool design. Exeggcute, Grimer/Muk, and Voltorb/Electrode are probably my least favorite designs from gen1, though.

I also didn't mention gen1 in my OP, I meant in general I prefer animal-based designs.
