Pokemon Winds And Waves: The 10th generation starter Pokemon: Browt, Pombon and Gecqua were introduced to the fans. Browt is a grassy bird with a constant scowling face, Pombon looks like a hot blooded Pomeranian, and Gecqua is a water gecko, with very big eyes and farfetched lashes. The reveal trailer showed off the abundant ecosystems of the area, which include tropical forests with Tropius and Gloom, oceans with a giant Wailord, grassland with a herd of Tailow, and volcanoes with Slugma. Critical places, including a tall building most probably a gym and a seaside town linked by water bridges were also hinted at as well as a day night cycle that influenced the behavior and appearance of Pokémon.
