Some speculating here but I think this time round the seems to possibly be one flagship legendary going by the game logos, possible that Gen 8 will have the one but a different variant for both versions of this installment.

Huh. I actually don't hate the new starters.

At this point I wonder how anyone can hate the starters based solely on what we've seen. The first evolution of the starters have always been pretty basic, from what I can tell. It's the third evolution we gotta wait to see to determine if we like them. 

I'm neutral on this just as I was neutral with every other starter.

Like, Chikorita is a leaf sausage with a hat. Litten is just a black and red cat. Froakie is just a blue frog. Charmander is just a lizard with fire on its tail. Torchik is just a red hatchling. Like, The starters have always been super basic and that's sort of the point. But hey, Fire Bunny, Grass Monkey, and Water Lizard? yeah, I see potential there. and I'm already a fan of fire bunny!
