I'm leaning more toward Scarlet first, and I'll probably choose Fuecoco. There's just something about that little gator that appeals to me. I'll get all 3 easily enough, but that one will be my first starter.

I don't blame you for picking Fuecoco, he was initially my first pick too. He reminds me of Totodile and Gible with his happy dirpy face. xD

Scarlet has the caveman waifu as the professor. Did you know she actually has fangs when you do a close up of her face when she talks? I saw a youtube video of her last week that showed it. Made me like her instantly!

Also, the Scarlet legendary is really cool! Though its probably a fire/dragon type, I kind of hope it turns out to be part water type because of its webbed hands and feet.

That's interesting about the professor in Scarlet. I like them both, especially Violet's with the serious Gigachad energy. It seems like Game Freak is embracing all of the memes with these games. Lechonk deserves a special mention there as well. Excellent spanish wordplay on their part. I like both legendaries too. They're very unique, and they give me BW/BW2 vibes. Those weren't my favorite games in the series, but I did like the legendary designs a lot. Violet's legendary is probably more my speed, but I like Scarlet's design a bit more. I'll get them both either way, so it's a non issue.

I'll decide which version to play first once there's more details on differences. As for starters, probably Fuecoco. That will also depend on more info, namely what the evolved forms look like.

Though its more than likely a fan made pokemon, I watched a video that speculates Fuecoco msy evolve into a Fire/Fairy type as its finsl evolution die to there being a crocodile with faory wongs in spanish mythology. Would make for an interesting change in the fire starter line up since all of the starters except for one gen 3 and up have been fire/fighting types, whether they actually had the type duality or just had the appearance of one.

Ikr? It gives the cave waifu professor even more of primal feel to her design.

Which is a nice thing and I hope to see Gamefreak embrace that more overtime. Not to anovert extent, of course. But placing something like memes within your games to make them more light hearted and fun must have been a blast for their devs and localizers. xD

Lol, have you ever watched a youtuber called TerminalMontage? He made a video showcasing all the new non starter Pokemon. His take on Lechonk was something interesting to see. xD

Only thing that's a shame about the B&W/B&W2 legendaries is that we never got to see the full original form of Kyurion. I think I see what you mean though; the Scarlet and Violet lrgendaries do kind of have a BW/BW2 vibe to them except their more viberant and colorful.

True, true. Why worry when you're already getting both! xD I hope there's a version of the two legendaries that are fused together. Like, they're in the inbetween process of past and future, since that's the theme for both games.
