Nintendo and Game Freak's 10th Gen Pokémon starters are led by Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua, the breakout water starter of Winds and Waves.
The short version
- Every starter in a new Pokémon generation erects an army of staunch defenders, but like it or not, some monsters are loved more than others.
- And for a couple of decades now, it seems like fire-type starters and grass-type starters keep taking turns stealing the spotlight.
- But when was the last time a water-type starter turned the collective Pokémon fandom's head?
What happened
Gequa, the water gecko introduced for Pokémon Winds and Waves , might be the first real contender to the throne. Already, fans keep joking that it is the better version of Sobble , the slack-jawed water starter from the previous generation.
Why it matters
Like the proceedings following any Pokémon starter reveal, fans are busy trying to imagine what Gecqua's evolutionary line will look like.
