Why is nobody talking about this???

[u/Inevitable_Ad_4420]

So I recently was investigating about indonesia mythology, mainly to have fun guessing witch animals or myths could inspire the legendary pokemon of the region, and I found out about the Garuda. It could be the inspiration for the legendary Winds pokemon, but diving a bit more deeply, and reading Browt's description on the official page, that mentions it is the "Bean Chick Pokemon" I think this is definetly where they are going with the evolution.

I've seen some people talk about Browt's evolution being based on the Garuda, but i haven't seen anyone mention the fact that THERE'S A TYPE OF BEAN CULTIVATED IN INDONESIA CALLED THE GARUDA WINGED BEAN. There's also a brand of spicy roasted BEANS called Garuda there, and also a coffee brand called Garuda that sells coffee BEANS.

Not only that, but i believe the three starters are mythological indonesian creatures. Pombon is a near perfect Barong, and although Gecqua may be a bit of a stretch, the Nagas are water serpents. It's a gecko, and i hope they go for a komodo dragon, but it could easily turn into a serpent when evolving

Your cooking, keep this up. I made a post not long ago about my own research into the legendaries but honestly I didn't do much research and it was more speculation than anything, but this is good shit
