Well, the hate on the "Pokemon looking like objects" is really not understandable, for every gen has at least one or two evolutionary lines that resemble inanimate things. Back in Gen 5, I actually chose Oshawott first, but over-time, I began liking Snivy a bit more (no offense to you). The only thing I would have changed is giving them secondary types (though BB and VW fixed that).

For Gen 6 (I really prayed we`re not getting Fire/Fighting again), I also checked what the starters would look like in later evolutions (and future typings) before making my decision. I ended up rolling with Fennekin seeing how it was the first non-legendary Fire/Psychic type. Might not be as good as Protean Greninja, but whatever.

If you want to know, when the first two evolutions of the starters were shown, people began complaining about essentially:

Rowlet getting an emo haircut

Litten was alright (they still fear this one leaked "evolution"? (Don`t know whether it`s real, wouldn`t trust it until confirmed))

Popplio looks "too feminine"

To me, personally, it`s substance over show. While there might be abysmal designs (don`t really remember any right now), as long as it is dealable, I am cool with it (For Gen 7 starters, I am fluctuating between Rowlet and Popplio (Litten does look good too, but I don`t have that much of a Fire-Type affinity). I will just wait what happens and try not to cry about it.

So yeah, depending on how stuff goes with Sun and Moon, hope you`ll have fun with the game if you pick it up.
