Wanted to share the ideas I had for how the new starters might evolve. I don’t think these designs r necessarily perfect, just a bit of fun!
For Browt I was mostly leaning into that eyebrow thing it has going on and mixing it w a bird of paradise and a rooster. I didn’t do a lot of research on Malaysian culture specifically, but I’m filipino and whenever I visit there’s always dozens of roosters hooting and hollering in the morning so I figured maybe they have them in Malaysia too idk. I’m really happy with the final evo I designed, I think he looks pretty cool. One of those middle evos is particularly ugly tho but thats okay. I imagine he’d be either grass/fighting or grass/flying.
Pombon was inspired by those stone dog/lion statues and fireworks, he’s definitely the one I had the most trouble with but I’m happy w what I came up with. My favourite is the fireworks one cuz I think it has the most interesting concept out of them. I’m personally hoping for a fire/fairy pombon but honestly he could be anything. I also had a bit of trouble making him look distinct from arcanine and solgoleo but alas what can you do?
Then Gecqua was inspired by just the general idea of a psychic/guru i guess? I didn’t have a specific animal in mind I just wanted her to be elegant and a bit weird looking. I wanted to keep Gecqua’s beautiful luscious eyelashes so they feature prominently in all the designs. Definitely leaning towards water/psychic for her but if not I can see water/poison.
Okay that’s all I have to say lmk if y’all like them. And feel free to recommend names or design changes!
