Wait… its own entry..? That might be a little exaggerated, no..? I mean look at the poll: 41% VS 38%. It is not that big of a difference. And I bet that, if you add the search interest for the other 2 starters, their graph lines will be quite similar too.

Besides, say what you will, but it is not Rowlet the one to have gotten a life-sized plush made first:

And… well, Litten was the first one to get softcore porn made out of. I guess that begets a mention, too.

So, sure, I do believe Rowlet is, indeed, the current favourite… but not by such a long shot that an entire entry dedicated to it should be made, if you ask me. The other 2 will quickly catch up, I can already tell. So, might as well make the entry talk about all 3: Rowlet's burst popularity, Litten's special "cute and edgy" charm and Popplio's soon-to-happen comeback (known as "Popplio's Defense Squad" around Pokemon fans).
