Everyone loves Sprigatito, the new weed cat Pokémon starter

polygon.com:

The new Pokémon generation is on the way, and half the hype of the announcement over Scarlet and Violet is arguing about the new starting Pokémon. There’s a fire-type croc, a cute little duck guy, and then my personal favorite: Sprigatito, the grass cat. While Fuecoco and Quaxly are both cute, I’m a cat person through and through, and Spigatito is an adorable little kitten. For me, it’s an easy choice.

Of course, the trick with starters is that they evolve. While everyone might be delighted at the starting form of a Pokémon, you never really know what it’ll turn into. I mean, take Litten as an example. The Sword and Shieldstarter is a sweet little fire kitten who turns into a raging, bipedal luchador. Pretty big change! What if a similar fate lies in store for Sprigatito?

For now, many fans are just enjoying Spigatito online with memes and fanart. It’s a grass cat — a weed cat, one might say. That’s led to a lot of good, wholesome fun online.
