About

Rowlet is a Grass-Flying type Pokémon character that will be featured as one of the three starters in Nintendo's upcoming pair of the video games Pokémon Sun and Moon. Shortly after its unveiling on May 10th, 2016, the character quickly gained a fan following due to its cute, perfectly round-shaped appearance.

Origin

On May 10th, 2016, Nintendo released a reveal trailer introducing three new Pokémon, Rowlet, Litten and Popplio, as the starters for its upcoming pair of Generation VII video games, Pokémon Sun and Moon (shown below). Along with the trailer, Nintendo also confirmed the scheduled release date of the titles as November 18th, 2016.



Spread

Within hours of Nintendo's release of the official reveal trailer, virtually all major video game news outlets reported on the unveiling of the Generation VII starters, including Kotaku[12], Polygon[15], The Verge[11], Wired[13], The Mary Sue[14] and IGN[25], among many others.

Meanwhile on Tumblr, Twitter and other social media platforms, Pokémon fans quickly began sharing their initial impressions of the three starters, including Tumblr user Klinklang[8] who started an impromptu survey by sharing the images of Rowlet, Litten and Popplio with the prompt for each post reading "Reblog if you’re choosing…" and Canada's official Twitter account[17] asking its followers "which Pokemon do you think is the most Canadian?" Later that same day, The Verge[18] and Kotaku[16] highlighted the Internet's reaction to the announcement of the new starters.
