I think I'm on the same boat as you. Reeaallly leaning towards Rowlet right now. Litten is also cute, but byurd <3 Also dual typing right off the bat is awesome (though a week combo, ech!) I really hope his evolutions are good...if it turns out like another chespin or Tepig deal I'll be so dissapoint. ;^;

Ahaha yeah, I know what you mean. Also glad we finally have starter english names! Wasn't sure what to call them critters.
I kinda have an idea of where Rowlet's line will take though it's just an idea haha.

Normally I lean towards Grass but
HOLY SHIT CAT I WANT IT

though honestly it does depend on their evolutions lol

Ahaha I really am looking forward to seeing the evolutions! it makes it so exciting and hype
