Like many fans, I'm eagerly awaiting Game Freak's release. pokemon 10th generation. I haven't bought a Nintendo Switch 2 yet because none of the current exclusives are that appealing. But even if the RAM crisis means we have to shell out some extra cash for a Switch 2, we won't be ignoring the new mainline. pokemon stratagem. Like many fans, I've done my part in digging into “Teraleak 2.” So far everything sounds like it would make for a great game, but of course the problem lies with 'Mons'. And I think I figured out what the water starter is, assuming this leak persists.
According to Teraleak 2, pokemon Gen 10 is called Pokemon Wind(s)/Pokemon Wave(s). The region is heavily inspired by Southeast Asia, with massive island chains that can include procedural generation. Pokemon players start in a large city where they must catch a starter, and that city is a tourist attraction with a nearby resort. These details are important. Especially because I believe, if I'm right, that the water starter will be based on the proboscis monkey.
Everything about Pokemon Generation 10 Teraleak explained
Images and documents related to the 10th generation Pokemon game, called Pokemon Wind and Wave, have surfaced online, detailing the new content.
All the Reasons Your Pokemon Gen 10 Water Starter Might Be Based On Proboscis Monkeys
For those unfamiliar, proboscis monkeys have large noses, typical reddish-brown fur, and long tails. It is endemic to the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia and is found mainly in mangrove forests and coastal areas of the island. In addition to their noses, they are characterized by the ability to swim and to be as comfortable in the water as they are in trees. You can see where I'm going with this. But not only does the proboscis monkey make sense as a real-life inspiration, there are several other supporting elements as well.

Location: Resort City

This fits the popular inorganic water starter theory.
-
Generation 10 is a great time to complete the perfect trio of starters.

Pokemon Concierge could have been a teaser
Pokemon Generation 10: Location, Location, Location
Based in Teraleak, players will meet their starter in a resort town. You don't really need a narrative reason to explain what a starter is for a generation, like why Professor Oak has a fire salamander, a water turtle, and a grass toad, but it would certainly help it feel more cohesive. This applies doubly in the following cases: pokemon The Gen 10 leak is accurate as it is a “real world” environment and not a lab setting. It's not like Arceus wanders around the resort town. However, given that proboscis monkeys exist in coastal areas and that resort towns mean beaches, there is a narrative explanation that these monkeys are starters.
In theory, I could be right about the Proboscis Monkey Pokémon, but I could be wrong about its role as a starter. I have no defense for it other than that it feels like a starter.
Proboscis monkeys support the water starter theory
It's no secret that each Pokemon starter has a generalized concept or pattern. pokemon Gen 6's starters are based on RPG classes: Chesnaught as a fighter/knight, Delphox as a witch/wizard, and Greninja as a ninja/rogue. similarly, pokemon Gen 7 is thematically based on:Hawaiian/Polynesian culture and showmanship, pokemon Gen 8 is thematically British-inspired. pokemon Gen 9 is a triple threat with a cast based on the culture and history of the Iberian Peninsula. of course pokemon Gen 10's starters will likely be Southeast Asian inspired, and proboscis monkeys fit that bill. But beyond the generational connection lies a long-lasting type theory.
Most fire starters have a zodiac inspiration. pokemon. Some fans believe that the water starters are based on weapons (explosive cannon, Inteleon – sniper, Samurott – katana), but they are slightly stretched with Pokemon such as Feraligatr (brass knuckles) and Primarina (musical weapon). In a similar vein, the proboscis monkey's large snout is useful for more than just attracting the attention of a would-be lover. When a crocodile tries to sneak up on its mate, it can use its snout to give a warning signal. That said, the design could be tilted on the nose like a war horn, which is closer to the theory than some current water starters. pokemon.
Pokemon Gen 10 was finally able to complete the Trifecta
This is low evidence and very nice to look at. But while multi-generational starters share two key species inspirations, they never share three.
- Totodile and Fuecoco are based on crocodiles, but there are no grass crocodiles.
- Squirtle and Turtwig are based on turtles, but there is no fire turtle.
- Sprigatito and Litten are based on cats, but there are no water cats.
However, the water monkey will complete three initial pieces of information. Grookey is the grass monkey and Chimchar is the fire monkey.. Every Pokémon deserves a unique silhouette, and the Proboscis Monkey easily stands out among the two. The proboscis monkey water starter will block this and it will be interesting to see what the future holds. pokemon In every generation that followed, one person at a time did similar work. I'd be very happy to see three monkey starters in Pokemon. It is symmetrically and aesthetically pleasing.
That said, if Game Freak wants to close more of the trifecta in Gen 10, grass alligators also make sense. Siamese crocodiles are also endemic to Southeast Asia. Some of them build nests out of plant debris mixed with mud, and proboscis monkeys often use their snouts to warn of crocodiles. Maybe early 10th generation traffic jams were caused by water monkeys, grass crocodiles, and kindling fights.
Pokemon Concierge now feels like a Gen 10 teaser.
It's also easier to identify new things. pokemon A teaser for a belated generation, like the orange and grape paintings of the past. Pokemon Sword and Shield It was a teaser after all Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Pokemon ConciergeThe very existence of feels like a Gen 10 teaser, which would have been more evident with its launch if it weren't for Teraleak. Simply put, the fact that it takes place at a resort (which could also support leaks about how players will meet Gen 10 starters) and that it's set on the ocean (which could probably also support support). 'Pokemon Wind and Waves' SE Asia Inspo).
Although it is not the strongest evidence, by supporting this point concierge At least it feels like a teaser for the 10th generation. And thematically, it could fit in with leaks about meeting the selectors and even providing insight into their designs. With its nose highlighted like a war horn, the Proboscis Monkey water starter can still have a waiter-like vibe. Of course, there are a lot of directions, but at least I can convince myself until Game Freak properly reveals the new starter.
