Pokemon Winds and Waves trailer gives us our first glimpse at the new starter Pokemon: a fire pomeranian, grass bird, and water gecko who I'm prepared to die for

Pokemon Winds and Waves starter the blue lizard Gecqua.

Today's Pokemon Winds and Waves announcement, setting course for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, included the reveal of the next lineup of starter Pokemon: Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua. Respectively, the grass bird, fire dog, and water lizard put new and adorable spins on established Pokemon type and animal combinations, serving up a new set of buddies for the next generation of Pokemon battles.

The Pokemon Winds and Waves starters may feel somewhat familiar to longtime Pokemon players, but after Pokemon Legends Z-A reused some older critters, it's nice to have another lineup of all-new Pokemon to choose from.
