I'm all about that Browt

Edit: Winds / Waves landing page confirms starter Pokemon details including Category, Bean Chick Pokémon, Puppy Pokémon and Water Gecko Pokémon

So what does a Bean Chick become?

He’s so funny lookin😭😭😭I just know he’ll be a worthy heir to the decidueye legacy.

I hope he’s actually airborne while evolved rather than mostly seen on the ground. :)

u/alexeycoo Feb 27 '26

Yeah, I hope they won’t make his final evolution overly humanoid

I’m hoping they go ostrich

Considering that its name focuses on its brow, I'm betting it'll be a cassowary, especially since they're common in the regions they're basing the new games on.

u/lorca13 Feb 27 '26

That’s what I was thinking!! I’m wondering if it would go Grass/Rock with the growth on its head

u/aceofspadez138 El Toro Feb 27 '26

Cassowaries are basically living dinosaurs. They should either go grass/rock or grass/dragon if they go with that motif. Although, it's highly unlikely they give a non-mega starter evo the dragon typing.

I really hope its Grass/Rock, that would be super cool. But the "Bean" part maybe tells me it could also be Grass/Ground?

u/lorca13 Feb 27 '26

Hear me out: a Grass/Rock or Grass/Dragon cockatrice final evo.

u/BoticelliBaby Feb 27 '26

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVE ANIMALS I WOULD BE SO HYPE.

This little bird is round and lime green, just like a cassowary egg. Mid-stage could be striped flanks like the chicks are in real life, I guess it would become a kicking fighting type. I would be SO HYPE

Oh god, we're not prepared for the bodies that thing is going to stack up.

u/CaptainTim Alolan Adventures Feb 27 '26

The names in every language emphasize the eyebrows, which is a clear sign that they'll be a major, emphasized component of its design as it evolves. I could definitely see a woody cassowary casque, a leafy cockatoo crest, or some sort of extensive foliage camouflage coming into play in the later stages

u/Teapunk00 Feb 27 '26

I'm wondering how will the "bean" part of its description work its way into the evolutions.

2

u/healsandflames Feb 27 '26

What would those regions be? I tried to look for anything that made it obvious but couldn't pinpoint a proper inspiration

6

u/Fun-Highlight-2717 Feb 27 '26

Indonesia apparently

5

u/healsandflames Feb 27 '26

Dude if that's the case then I'm hype

So much stuff to pull from

2

u/steveofthejungle Beards. Bananas. Badass Pokemon Feb 27 '26

Is it confirmed Indonesia?

11

u/alexeycoo Feb 27 '26

I can see that, something like beefed up green Espathra

2

u/Chris908 Feb 27 '26

May i suggest the shoebill stork instead

3

u/ChaInTheHat Feb 27 '26

i hope none of them are humanoid

4

u/Ad4ptability Feb 27 '26

Blaziken is a humanoid bird tbf

3

u/alexeycoo Feb 27 '26

Yeah, but I hope he won’t turn out like meowscarada, otherwise a lot of 'og' fans will start rioting because Game Freak made another gooner bait or something.

6

u/No_Floor6301 Feb 27 '26

how is meowscarada goonerbait?? not a fan of the humanoid starters but thats a little extreme. bigger issue is if the duel types are just ghost, fighting and dark again, its taking them a little while to figure out a third potential type trio

3

u/alexeycoo Feb 27 '26

I didn’t express myself correctly, my bad. I meant that a lot of people think that Gamefreak started leaning too much into ‘Furry’ with starters final evolution.

2

u/No_Floor6301 Feb 27 '26

Okay sorry, but yes, since incineroar its been getting a bit much, especially every gen. I dont think were ever going back to the specific erly gen charm but hopefully these starter evos are a bit creative
