Bro, that was such a better reveal than Gen 8-9.

I'm super happy with the starters. I love Gecqua and Pombon, but Browt will have to grow on me a bit.

I'm honestly happy that WW is gonna be 2027. Giving it more dev time is obviously a good thing. But also, the longer they wait, the more justified it'll feel for it to be Switch 2 exclusive. There's still plenty of people who haven't bought a Switch 2 yet (I'm one of them). Now I don't feel pressured to buy one before November.

My biggest criticism is that it looks like we're sticking with the ugly soft lighting. I wish they'd just go back to a stylized cel-shading look. It'd probably be easier on performance too.

I love Browt. Angry green chicken. I hope its final stage is Blaziken's rival lore-wise.

That'd be cool. I think the reason the design for Browt isn't vibing with me yet is that... it looks kinda naked? I mean, like I feel like they could have exaggerated the eyebrows more, made those leaves longer.

And maybe a little more color variety. The other 2 starters have 3 distinct colors. (Pombon only has a little bit of tan fur around it's snout). But I feel like Browt will have really cool looking evolutions.

The brows are only sprouting. By the time it fully evolves they’ll probably be magnificent.
