It has to be the second pair right? Those two are so cute, the eyes especially. It'll be interesting seeing what kids end up agreeing on.

I want merch of the third pair, so hopefully they get picked. Not sure if they're appealing to kids now, though. Very Happy

I hope so too. Would buy! The third pair is cute too, but second has more finer tuning. I think they will win, since they look the most like anime monsters :p

First pair complement the checked logo, but not that interesting.

I think the first pair would look much more appealing if they just tone down to lighter colours instead of hard blue and hard pink.

2>1>3 IMO

But they're all cute so I'd be happy regardless.

I'm hoping they're the winners too

I prefer international appeal that still reflects Japan, so I’m going with the second ones.

You don't mess with Japan when it comes to creating mascot character, I guess. All those designs are so awesome. My favorite is the first pair, though I guess that's because I see them more like an action platformer game character.

As long as the third pair doesn't win, I'm good.

I love the second pair. Their colors are prominent, yet balanced enough to not look too flashy. But I'll be happy with any pair that gets chosen. Anime catgrin

This is pretty much select your pocket monster. I think the kids will make the right choice.
