Now that both Sun & Moon and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon have been released for some time, I thought it would be interesting to see which starter ended up the most used here at Bulbagardens. I know in the beginning, there was a lot of love for Rowlet and Litten, while Popplio was initially ridiculed (Never forget, the #PopplioDefenseSquad). However, now evolutions have been released, stats finalized, move pools currently updated and the like.

Between Rowlet, Litten and Popplio, who did you pick? If you used different starters between games, which one did you find more effective for your story? And if you didn't use any of the three, who did you use as a Starter?
 
I don't care for the design of any of these starters, so I replaced it with a Zorua first, and then with a Furfrou. Kept the Furfrou throughout the whole game, so I guess that's my starter.

I did the same in SuMo, though I did keep Litten until I got a Salandit.
 
I picked Litten in both Moon and Ultra Moon. In UM I did a dice roll and the gods of flame decided I must stay loyal to them.

(Nobody tell them about the Treecko I chose in Alpha Sapphire. I feel the Fennekin, Charmander, and event Torchic I used in X made up for it but... they might not agree.)
 
I had already picked Popplio in Moon and Rowlet in Sun, so I went with Litten for US. Incineroar really improved with the tutor moves. The Incineroar I used in Moon was a disgrace.
 
Well, for first runs of any Pokémon game, I always go with the fire type. So Sun and Ultra Sun were both Litten runs. Moon is where things got a bit screwy with me. It started as a second save for getting the version exclusives and I went with Popplio there, but then the Bank update Mewnium Z went to Moon by accident and that became my main save. So in my second Sun run, I did only fire types, so three guesses as to who I picked, and the the first two don't count. And now with only grass types in my current run, I've now gotten a good look at every starter.
 
I picked Litten for Sun, but its final evolution was a major disappoint in the design department so in Ultra Sun I picked Rowlet.
 
I had both a Litten and a Popplio on my Team in Sun. I picked Rowlet in Ultra Moon.
 
I don't remember, for Ultra Sun it was either Litten or Rowlet - I played with both.

For Ultra Moon, my starter was Popplio, but I also had Litten and Rowlet

I bought Ultra Sun three days ago and picked Litten this time as my starter. In Moon, the starter I picked was Popplio.

I did exactly the same thing!. Though I have to admit that I had an infinitely easier time using Primarina over Incineroar. Maybe it's playing style, maybe it's team building (which was more difficult in USUM I think, cause there wasn't anything new)
 
Litten for both Sun and Ultra Sun. Why not? It's my favorite of the three and I could always just trade the other two starters I have in Sun to complete the Pokedex in Ultra Sun.
 
I picked Popplio for Moon, and for some reason chose Popplio again for Ultra Sun. Primarina was a better tank for me in Moon than in Ultra Sun somehow but alas still a great Pokemon to use.

I also used Blaziken in Ultra Sun, if that counts too
 
Considering I played Ultra Moon as Roxie, I banked up a Venipede and Croagunk to start with. Technically picked Rowlet, though. As for Moon, Popplio.
