<\/div>\n


\nAs has become customary, the announcement of **Pok\u00e9mon Winds and Waves** was paired with the introduction of three new starter Pok\u00e9mon that trainers will have the option to select at the game’s outset, marking them as the first three Pok\u00e9mon revealed in Gen X. These are **Browt**, **Pombon**, and **Gecqua**. Let\u2019s get to know them.<\/p>\n

### Browt
\nKicking things off is **Browt**, a baby bird resembling an owl with prominent eyebrows. Just picture the late nights spent determining that name. It\u2019s the Grass-type starter, labeled as a Bean Chick Pok\u00e9mon, and we already have its essential stats:<\/p>\n

– **Height**: 1\u2032 (0.3m)
\n– **Weight**: 7.7lb (3.5KG)
\n– **Ability**: Overgrow<\/p>\n

It does feel slightly peculiar that the game has reverted to owls as a starter concept, considering Rowlet was introduced just three generations back. However, this could be more of a strange design decision than a reflection of an actual species, as it’s referred to as a \u201cchick.\u201d With the leaf-like eyebrows on this creature, we can expect it to utilize Bulbasaur-esque plant-based attacks.<\/p>\n

### Pombon
\nThis fluffy little creature is yet another dog-inspired pocket monster, marking the first time one has been a starter. It\u2019s the Fire-type in this set and categorized as a Puppy Pok\u00e9mon. Its stats are:<\/p>\n

– **Height**: 1\u20194 (0.4m)
\n– **Weight**: 14.8lb (4.3KG)
\n– **Ability**: Blaze<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much else to uncover about this adorable pup, aside from its clear resemblance to a Pomeranian. It will be intriguing to see if it remains cute as it matures or if it transitions into a more wolf-like appearance.<\/p>\n

### Gecqua
\nThe trickiest to spell is **Gecqua**, whom we can deduce from the name alone is a water-dwelling gecko. Naturally, it\u2019s a Water-type and with its large eyes, it’s my immediate favorite of the trio, fitting into the somewhat uninspired category of Water Gecko Pok\u00e9mon. Its stats are:<\/p>\n

– **Height**: 1\u2032 (0.3m)
\n– **Weight**: 9.5lb (4.3KG)
\n– **Ability**: Torrent<\/p>\n

It was only in Gen VIII that we last encountered a reptilian starter, specifically a Water-type with Sobble. Considering the visual parallel between the two, especially when recalling Sobble\u2019s final evolution, Inteleon, it\u2019s another surprisingly redundant design. Nevertheless, Gecqua is utterly charming and has already secured my preference.<\/p>\n

So, which one catches your eye? Have you already developed a fondness? Or are you just puzzled that Game Freak couldn’t think of any alternative species to draw inspiration from for the new starters?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
