On their Facebook account, The Pokemon Company unveiled Rowlet, Litten and Popplio as the new starter Pokemons.

Rowlet is a grass quill Pokemon about 1 inch in height and 3.3 lbs. Litten, on the other hand, is a Fire cat Pokemon that has the ability to throw fireballs from its hairballs. Lastly, Popplio is a sea lion Pokemon weighing 16.5 lbs.
