The Pokémon Company celebrated the franchise’s 30th anniversary in a huge way Friday, not only announcing Pokémon Winds and Waves but also by giving us our first look at the Gen 10 starters right away. There’s the water gecko Gecqua and the fire puppy Pombon, but the internet’s early favorite is definitely Browt, who looks like an Angry Bird with some leaves growing on his forehead. You might say he has sprouts on his brow, which give him a menacing expression from most angles.

Pombon may be the undisputed goodest boy in the starter trio with a happy smile and fluffy mane, but don’t we have enough fire dog Pokémon already? Gecqua feels uninspired when we’ve already had water lizard starters like Sobble and Froakie (technically an amphibian, but all frogs are lizards) — and at least those two look comedically anxious by comparison. Thus, Browt emerges as the most interesting of the three here, already inspiring tons of fan art.

In official materials, the Bean Chick Pokémon is described as “lively but clumsy.” From behind, it looks fluffy, so he’s something of a chubby bean himself. Regardless of how much we all love Browt right now, what’s ultimately going to make or break........
