Everybody loves ‘Pooper,’ Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s new Wooper

polygon.com:

One of the best parts of the Pokémonfranchise is that every Pokémon is beautiful and beloved in their own special way. There are the big-ticket Pokémon like Mewtwo or Koraidon, and then there are a bunch of humble little fellows. One of these is Wooper, the darndest little guy, who is basically a big round head, a smile, and a teeny-tiny little body. Now, fans are going to get an even wider variety of Woopers to enjoy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

As players travel through different regions, they’ll often find both unique Pokémon that aren’t in any other game, and regional variants on familiar Pokémon. For instance, Weezing is usually a two-headed, purple, floating Pokémon. But if you travel to the Galar region, Weezing wears giant top hats and a smog mustache that makes it look very distinguished. Something similar is true for Wooper. In Paldea, Wooper is a poison-type Pokémon who looks juuuuust a little different — and he’s already inspired fan art and memes on social media.
