Firstly, DJ Rotom! He's a stereo and, like Silvally, a CD player! ^u^
Secondly: G10 preview. Looks to me, anyhow, like GF saw all the feedback re: graphics and said, "Y'all want good graphics? You got it!" Because that trailer, at least, looked pretty darn pretty. The sea, the lush jungly landscape, the different habitats... The tower wavy-waterfall water-slide building thing, that is suspiciously similar to one from a dream of mine--except mine was gold and looked as if designed by Gaudi.
But I swear I've got psychic connections going on, man. In the "Jessie & James vs. Butch & Cassidy" poll on the Poke-TV channel, YouTube literally submitted a vote for B+C before even giving me a chance. IT KNEW. That okay, this isn't exactly fair, but you're gonna pick them because they're parTICularly your babies, even though no one loves both duos and TR in general more than you. Plus I had mentioned loving them the previous day, so the poll's appearance was either coincidental orrrr... And also in the late 90s/early 2ks I'd been talking on TR fansites and whatnot and writing fanfics in which B&C did in fact quit TR. :3
ANYWAY. Where was I? Ah yeah, the look of WW. Back in a tropical setting, feels like Alola or the Orange Islands. So many cuties (Sizzlipede and Slugma looked especially so in their usual volcanic area)...the marshlands, the reef...
Reminds me of New Snap and Mario Kart World, like it'll take advantage of the Switch 2's capability.
Realistic yet idealized--exactly where I wanna live.
(Assuming it really does look like that ofc.)
Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu! ^3^
Good names, good logos.
Gen 10 could be the great one it deserves to be.
EEP, I see gold-on-white on the Winds player-characters...obviously there must be some sort of Aether connection...right?! {=-}
All right all right, the starters.
I think...it's a pretty nice trio. The colors work well together and are certainly tropical, summery, fun.
Pombon: Pomeranian, bonfire. A small but hardy breed. Okay, guess now I have a trio of favorite first-stage starters who're all Fire-type? A puppy-kitty group. The Pomeranian stands out to me because of Balto's Dixie, so I guess I'd name it Dixie. Or Ginger or Cinnamon or something. Orangina, Tangerina, Clementine. Valencia, Sunburst, Cleopatra...Ascorbia? Definitely not Kumquat. x3 Or some of the others. Wonder about the evolutions. Could keep it spitzy and go to like a Shibe/Doge and then Akita? I mean there is Okidogi already who's in that area. The 3 German Spitz varieties are small/medium/large.
Always wonder what breeds/types they might use, and they have been doing some specific-ish doggos. Such as Pem-Corg Yamper. I see Boltund primarily as a tricolor smooth Collie (like the one I played Dog Island as.) One UK herding dog evolving from another. It's a doggy-doggo fer sure. I see Bulba comparing it to hounds, specifically English Foxhound and longdog/Grey/sighthound. Lil' bitta all of the above, sure. (Though as a sighthound fanatic first and foremost, I've always gotten those kinda vibes, at least partially or slightly, from lots of my 'pokepooch pack.')
"Guileless and friendly" ...and thus will likely evolve into something guile-full and unfriendly ;p
Gecqua: Well that's straightforward as well. What I'm seeing here is...the pokemon who looks as if it would evolve into Drizzile and Inteleon! Another water lizard, but this one looks more feminine--whereas Sobble is a weird one that looks more boyish, then evolves into two definitely feminine-looking ones. And it's got the wide tail that'd turn into the long narrow one. (Although Fred's leopard gecko Leo had the short fat tail that was supposed to but never did that...his shorter-lived girlfriend Cleo's did though. Leo was here for quite some time, too. I was taking care of him while Fred was off in boot camp and all that...) Yeah, anyhoo. Odd. And I know Intellie's like totally a spy/secret agent and everything, but it's not nearly as much of a chameleon as Kecleon.
Browt: Funny name. Funny lil' guy. At first glance kind of just a little yellow bird with leaves on his face, but let's take a look...the bean chick. A sprout, a visual chickpea/peafowl pun. Brow, brute. Yeah, that all makes sense. Kinda looks like my pipe-cleaner Easter chicks and suchlike. Or pompom Oricorio's annoying little brother. (And yes, he a literal Angy Birb.) Might evolve into something kakapo-like. My first thoughts had been around words like rout, rowdy, owl--but bROWt wasn't quite owlish. However, ROWlet--the other Grass bird starter from a tropical island region with beans, is. `-` ~_~ Could I be onto something? (Please let there be crossover with Alola! Let Alolan folks show up/get mentioned!)
Yes, I wish to photosynthesize too. On the daily.
Big fan of lemon-lime and chartreuse is kind of my signature color, so I enjoy the coloring of other grass starters who best fit a citrusy scheme (e.g. Grookey/Thwackey, Bayleef, Turtwig, Treecko/Snivy and fams.)
I SHALL hope that Pombon and Gecqua stay on all fours. It's not the only way for their future stages to have good designs, but it'd probably be nice. Not that I don't rate some of these more "furry"-type starter evolutions highly (i.e., Fennekin's and Sobble's.) Look forward to seeing these guys', and the rest of [insert region's name]'s new pokes.
P.S. I almost didn't wanna hafta say it, but...yeah, Gecqua has LPS energy. Not THE supreme glorious 90s LPS (or its cartoon that I didn't know about/see until years later, for some reason somehow.) The subsequent ones I have mixed feelings about. It is important one way or another to note that overall, realistic proportions and detail >>>>> the dreadful "big head, big eye, tiny and minimally-detailed body" aesthetic.
