What kind of new Pokemon do you think we'll see in Scarlet/Violet?

[blitzle stan]

You do bring up a point that I forgot, but, after this long, I just don't see dolphin Pokémon coming. I am hoping though.

I would say don’t give up hope! But yeah, it’s also nice to think it’s not coming so that you’re not always frustrated every generation.

Like me- I want a sloth Pokémon that stays a sloth. I think it’s make a perfect Grass starter. Yet we get the millionth cat Pokémon instead. lol One day…

Inb4 cat starter becomes sloth for no reason.

Lol, I literally did make a Grass regional variant of the Slakoth line for my fic.

There's a lot of common animals that haven't had Pokemon. There's no hummingbird Pokemon, there's no lobster Pokemon, there's no cheetah Pokemon.

Yeah. We haven't even gotten a crane/stork or a capybara. I thought those animals are suppose to be pretty popular in Japan.

 

[Beer&Nyquil]

They had a stork for gen 2 before it got cut

I always thought Skarmory was a crane.

 

[Alpine64]

A new form for Dewgong. That thing has to be the most forgotten Pokemon there is and seals happen to live in the Mediterranean. Even a new evolution would be fine in my book, just give it something.

 

[Minya_Nouvelle]

I always thought Skarmory was a crane.

I guess, so. The bulbapedia page does mention it. I'm not sure what kind of bird I thought Skarmory was.

 

[ShieldFan]

I always thought Skarmory was a crane.

Skarmory is an ostrich I guess.

 

[Cute Charm]

Skarmory is an ostrich I guess.

Doduo and Dodrio are more ostrich-like than Skarmory. Right down to the gender differences being brown for females and black for males. Sure it's their necks and not their actual body feathers, but still.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

I always thought Skarmory was just a general bird shape and not any bird in particular

 

[Sheep40]

A moray eel, that evolves into a humanoid moray eel, that evolves into a moray weredgraon.

Or, alternately the same thing but with an amphisbaenia (worm lizard).

Catch the reference.

So for me what I'm expecting is some gen 4 regional variants. As for the moment we have a total of 0.
Also Tauros seems like a good candidate and I want Pokémon to really do something with it. Give it a ghost/fighting evo of a bull that died in the arena.
In Portugal we eat the fish tynamo's line is based off, so a regional variant of it would be nice as well
As for new pokémon I believe the Barcelo's Rooster is pretty much confirmed at this point (Masuda even retweeted the post that had him with the rooster)
For the starters I'm feeling inclined to go on a way that the majority of people isn't
Sprigatito for me, yes will be a lynx and I'm praying GF does that right.
Fuecoco for me will be the dragon slain by saint George, stays a dragon but in a lot of the popular depictions it looks like a snake, making fuecoco still respect the chinese zodiac pattern.
Quaxly will become a painter, using the brush as its weapon. Spain has Dali, Picasso, Miró, etc has a few examples of some great painters. Quaxly already looks like a small painter so I really think that will be its path.
Now as for the wants:
That crystal onix
If sprigatito doesn't become the lynx then give luxray a regional evo
A dragon based on the Gaudi garden's one (I accept a keckleon reg)
A luvdisc that never found its pair, gaining a dark type evolution
I want a Portuguese waterdog pokémon
I also want a dolphin pokémon, but I want it to be as evil as one can get. Maybe electric/dark, where the electric typing is really there because they gang up on water types and unleash electricity just to watch them suffer.
A pineco that burned in forest fires (iberian peninsula has a tone of pine cones and wildfires) becoming Ghost/Bug and evolving into a shelless forretress or an entire new mon.
And last but not least, I want an Ice dunsparce that evolves into what I can describe as a snorlax of ice caves. Where it lets wanderers pass in exchange of food. Ice/Dragon || Ice/Fairy || Ice || are my possibilities

 

[PinkIceFox]

stumbles in, hair a mess Xbox360 controller in hand GUYS. GUYS OH MY GOD.

Pinata pokemon. It is time. IT IS TIME. It should learn explosion.

(Help the Viva Pinata theme is stuck in my head)

 

[Sheep40]

Pawinard and Bisharp variations that depict Spanish and Moorish soldiers, priests, and then Knights.

Blind Snakes. They already look like pokemon.

A Honedge variation based around rapiers and eventually Zweihanders, the two primary weapons in the old Spanish school of Fencing.

A carnation, to reference Portugal's revolution.

A staff-wielding martial artist to reference Jogo Dau Pau, one of the last living martial arts of europe.

A spotted Woolo variation, in reference to the Churra Sheep.

A pig that references Iberico Ham.

A living Basque walking stick.

A bronzong variation that is literally the bell that tolls.

A culebre. Either Fuecoco's evolution, or the pseudo-legedary.

 

[Beer&Nyquil]

highly doubt these games will reference the carnation revolution

 

[Dark Warrior]

Dark type tauros
Evolution:
Minotaur like dark/fighting type

 

[Stef50S]

I know it's not specific to Spain but one inspiration that I think would be cool is the Marabou Stork. It would be a good candidate for a Poison/Flying type (that we haven't seen since Crobat) since it can be found on landfills. Its appearance even lends itself towards a creepy or elderly design.

 

[Astro Pantherion]

Give me a killer whale Pokémon. And no Kyogre doesn't count, given its a Legendary. I want a dolphin evo line that eventually evolves into a killer whale mon that can eat Sharpedos for breakfast.

 

[Sheep40]

Worm Lizards
