While we don’t know what the Pokémon Gen 10 evolutions will look like, we do have a leak from January claiming to describe them.Here is how a leaker described the Pokémon Winds and Waves Starter Evolutions:Grass: Kinda goofy or underwhelming at first, but it grows on you (also described as derpy).Fire: Extremely cute, has all the makings of a fan favorite.Water: Absolutely serves and slays, total standout. Interestingly, I would argue all of those descriptions are pretty spot on for the Pokémon Gen 10 Starters that were revealed today. Browt is a bit underwhelming compared to the other two models and definitely looks a little silly. Pombon is literally a baby puppy, and it’s really adorable. And finally, Gecqua has a look that definitely serves.Screenshot: The Pokémon CompanySo if these leaks are true, it sounds like Browt’s evolution will “grow” on players. However, Gecqua’s evolution is apparently the best-looking one out of the trio, according to this leaker. That said, we should take this rumor with a major grain of salt.Pokémon Wind and Waves will release sometime in 2027 exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Based on the vague release date, we may be waiting for quite a bit of time before playing the tenth generation RPGs. But hey, at least we know what the Pokémon Winds and Waves starters look like!The post Pokémon Winds and Waves Starters Revealed – Abilities, Stats, and Evolution Leak Details appeared first on VICE.
