Which Pokemon Winds and Waves starter would you pick and why?

For me, it is easy.

Pombon, because it is so cute and I wanted to have a fire puppy starter at some point. The one I came up with as a Fakemon is its alter ego: Pupfurno

[sans the skeleton]

none of them.

i really didn't like any of them. they're really plain and feel like they gave up on the whole idea pretty quick. even pombon is a pale imitation of the real thing.

if i had to pick, probably pombon and then i'd put it in the box and get old pokemon i usually play with, if they're offered. if not, either hope for better designs or just skip the generation entirely.

this is all a moot point anyway as i cant afford the switch 2 so i'm sort of forced to skip the gen anyway.

^I wasn't impressed with them, either, and it makes me worry what they'll evolve into. I guess I could say I like Browt the best, but I already betrayed my Water Starter loyalty back in Sun (Worth it, though, I like every member of the Rowlet line) so I'll probably at least give Gecqua a shot... but the minute it evolves into something I don't care for, I'm boxing it and replacing it with Wailord (because I always wanted to try raising one, which for some reason I never had before now despite having ample chance to, lol)

Honestly, the trailer had me interested enough until the starters themselves were revealed. Outside of that, I'm not opposed to getting Waves when/if I'm able. On the subject of using older Pokemon, I somehow never used a Swellow before, so I'm happy to see Taillow back!

Yeah, I feel that. I have other (non-Pokemon) games I've been wanting to try, but I haven't gotten past the hurdle of saving up enough for a Switch 2. There's also trying to find a comfortable spot for it once I do get one, but that's neither here nor there, lol

I think they all look fine, I don't have particularly strong feelings about any of them, but I'm mostly a Grass picker, so it'll probably be Browt. I don't really know why people seem to dislike them so much, I don't think they're showstoppers, but they're all Fine at least. I hope they have good final evos, at least.

^To be fair, they seem to be a real "Either you like them or you don't" trio so far. I suppose it depends on whom you ask and where, but I've seen more like for each of them than not. I'll try and keep a more open mind myself, at any rate!

Ditto on the final evos, though I'm curious as to what they'll all be, type-wise. I'd theorize and/or say what I'd think would be neat, but at this point it's just easier to wait and see.

i havent played any new pokemon games for quite a while, so i won't experience the feel of having really experienced it, but i'm quite fond of gecqua! a neat lil guy

if you'll allow me to be pessimistic for a second, it's certainly a desire to perpetuate the franchise that theyre adding new creatures that more and more people are seeing as contrived rehashes; oftentimes i feel a little disillusioned with the new generations of pokemon in the games, but it could just be that i don't get the opportunity to bond with them like i used to. it's still cute seeing what they cook up and it's nothing beyond a small gripe so i'm not upset about it! i've heard theyve spent a lot of time on the game, and it looks quite good! so there's a lot to look forward to, even if i'm not gonna be the one playing.
