Pokemon Winds and Waves Starter Pokemon

Image description: The new Pokemon starters on a bright beach with palm trees behind them. From left to right. Browt, a light yellowish green chick with angry lime green eyebrows and beak. Kind of seems like an Angry Birds character. Pombon, a happy orange floofy Pomeranian dog-type creature. And Gecqua, a blue Littlest Pet Shop kind of style leopard gecko type creature. They have a light blue raindrop between their eyes.

    I really hope at least one of these pokemon stays quadrupedal. Basically every single starter has turned bipedal since, what, Samurott back in gen 5? Ignoring Primarina because no legs.

    Also the bird looks reeeeeally dumb, which is disappointing as someone who usually likes the grass types.

        Oh right, I completely forgot about Skeledirge becoming a quadruped. I stand corrected then, we did get one quadruped starter in the last 15 years.

      Sadly the bipeds are much more popular and make more money for whatever fuckall reason

        Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

        Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

        Good point, I completely forgot it wasn’t bipedal. A second quadruped since gen 5 would still be appreciated though.
