With over 900 Pokemon for players to train and battle with, Pokemon doesn't show any signs of slowing down either, especially since the reveal of the 9th Generation of Pokemon games in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. So far, not much has been revealed on these new titles besides the fact that they are coming later this year alongside confirmations of what the starters will look like.

So far, the starters are the laid-back fire crocodile Fuecoco, the grass-type cat Pokemon Sprigatito, and the duck with an interesting hairdo, Quaxly. Already, fans are picking their favorite of these three, with many making interesting fan arts and animations dedicated to their chosen starter. As Quaxly looks like a duck, many jokes have already been made among fans who believe that the Pokemon will evolve into Donald Duck.
