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.
Fire gang for life. I love that little flooferpup, and I’m excited to see what kind of bipedal, fire/fighting, rule34-bait dogman it evolves into.
I know it’s probably an artistic choice or maybe a lack of budget thing, but I find it weird how textureless these guys are. You don’t have to make them realistic or anything, but let the dog look like it has fur beyond the little anime spikes at the tips. Let the bird look like it has feathers. Right now he looks kind of like if a bird put a green bedsheet over his head to be a ghost for Halloween.
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.
