Thank all of you for speaking the language of Cita and helping interpret for me. ^^; I have a hard time with people misunderstanding me. No ill meant.
Anyway!
After some debate I picked Rowlet. First one was a female! I named her Artemis, after Green Arrow's protege. I'm not too far yet but I captured a Pikipek and a Ledyba. I got Moon and my husband has Sun. Our roommate also has Sun. The owner of our friendly local comic shop picked up both games with the special steel book! He was showing it off earlier with his Popplio.
My gamestop didn't have any plushies, but Toys R Us did. I got a set of starters for my nephew for his birthday and he loves them. My sister said the Charmander is his favorite, he likes how soft the flame on the tail is. He keeps trying to take him into the bath though, so I'll try to find him some plastic pokemon.
