Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Mascot Legendaries Should Both Be Bulls

gamerant.com:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are set to come out later this year, and fans are excited to see what new Pokemon the games will feature. With the new region being based on the Iberian Peninsula, there are a lot of expectations in terms of Pokemon based on Spanish culture, wildlife, and geography. Fans are especially curious about what the legendary mascots will be like.

In terms of mascot legendaries so far, Pokemon games have done dragons, wolves, deer, birds, bats, and lions. They have had different themes as well, such as land and sea, life and death, and sun and moon. For Scarlet and Violet, what makes the most sense are bull mascot legendaries, and their themes could be fire and water or light and shadow.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Legendary Trio Should Learn From Sword and Shield

Discussion of bulls inPokemon Scarletand Violet has been rampant since the announcement. Fans have wondered if Tauros will get a region variant, if the three roaming legendaries will be bulls, or if there will be a new bull Pokemon. All this bull discussion is because the game is based on Spanish culture. Bulls are a big symbol in Spain, and to ignore that in a Pokemon game would be bizarre.

While bullfighting is the first thought fans have had in terms of bulls in Spanish culture, there is more to Spanish bulls than just that. The Running of the Bulls is a famous event in Spain where a group of bulls is set loose to run down a sectioned-off street and people can run ahead or on the side to show off bravery, though injuries are common. Bullfighting has become less popular in Spain due to controversy over animal cruelty, so Pokemon should focus on other notes of bulls in Spanish culture, and it does not have to just be The Running of the Bulls.
