Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Creates Their Own Version of Sprigatito's Final Evolution

gamerant.com:

Fans are waiting patiently for more Pokemon Scarlet and Violet news, entertaining themselves the same way they have nearly even generation now. With the first form of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s starters known to the world, fan art, rumors, and speculation have filled the hole.

For example, many fans think that Fuecoco’s final form will be based on a Cucafera in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Others are pretty sure that Quaxly’s forms are based on Don Quixote, and it’s pretty clear what fans want out of Sprigatito, too. In fact, Redditor GrekisaWrek’s fan-made design for Sprigatito’s final evolution checks off one of the biggest boxes for Sprigatito.

Fans have been very vocal in hoping that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet doesn’t make Sprigatito bipedal. Several popular and cute Pokemon have evolved into less interesting quadrupedal Pokemon, with Litten’s evolution into Incineroar perhaps being the number one example. There’s even the quadrupedal Fennekin that evolves into the bipedal Delphox as another example, and there are quite a few more.

GrekisaWrek’s final form design manages to check that box for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans. This final evolution, called Reinaflor, remains a quadruped. This design also manages to make this form seem more earthly and queen-like, while not necessarily moving away from the cute aspects of Sprigatito. The vines and overall color scheme make sure that Sprigatito’s grass and flower roots are retained, while the gold and pink help realize its second-typing, Grass/Fairy.

Notably, beyond design elements, the typing is perhaps one of the most important factors in a starter. Fuecoco’s type, for example, has been heavily debated.
