Since the official announcement of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, discussions have been going well regarding the starters for this 9th generation. Many artists took the opportunity to share their vision of their evolution.
On February 27, 2022, The Pokémon Company unveiled the first trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple. The 9th generation of pocket monsters is on the way, and trainers everywhere are eager to experience this new installment of the world’s most profitable franchise.
If the Nintendo Direct revealed little information about this new Pokémon game, there is one element that jumped out in the eyes of all fans: the three starters have been revealed. Already, the community has taken a liking to Poussacha, Chochodile and Coiffeton. And as always, talented artists immediately grabbed the pencils to depict the three starters and the evolutions they could imagine.
Without further ado, discover some of the most successful creations depicting the possible evolutions of Poussacha, Chochodile and Coiffeton in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple.
Summary
Poussacha’s Evolutions
The Plant Poussacha starter immediately gained immense popularity among Pokémon aficionados. With its feline silhouette and large charming eyes, it is unquestionably the most kawaii little monster of the three.
The artist Shinchansan quickly looked into the question of Poussacha’s evolutions. He imagined a magical line with a plant cat, whose references to a starry sky would take up more and more space in his design.
Many trainers hope that Poussacha becomes more bestial over the evolutions, and fear above all that the cat becomes yet another biped. The talented artist Eryanartist agrees and has blown away the community with her sublime depiction of the latest evolution of the Plante starter.
Obviously, many artists have imagined Poussacha taking on the appearance of a terrifying lion. This is the case of Matsuyama-Takeshi, who gave the Grass Pokémon a very elegant vegetable mane as well as sharp fangs reminiscent of those of a saber-toothed tiger.
Reddit user UnmotivatedArtist01 wanted to keep the silhouette of Poussacha in each of its evolutions. If the feline grows, it is above all the plants growing on its body that testify to its progress.
Chochodile Evolutions
If the reptilian inspiration of Chochodile is obvious, the shape of its body coupled with its beautiful red color are reminiscent of a pepper. And yes, the “Cho” in his surname is not there for nothing!
A fire-spitting crocodile… that’s something that makes you think of a dragon! In any case, Shinchansan seems to think so since his artwork of Chochodile and its evolutions gradually mutate the friendly little reptile into an intimidating hybrid of crocodile and fire-breathing dragon.
The Artsic-Fox article wanted to keep the chili pepper shape of the little crocodile, making it ever more imposing and terrifying over the course of developments.
After seeing appearances of Chochodile evolving into the dragon and the dinosaur, it’s time for the crocodile! The artist Jeff Boob has offered the community his own version of the fiery reptile, which becomes with its third evolution a terrifying predator.
The evolutions of Coiffeton
The flirtatious duck of this ninth generation takes its originality from its azure hair which did not leave the fans indifferent.
If Coiffeton has a very animal look in its initial form, Shinchansan has chosen to make it more humanoid over the evolutions. His friendly blue hair seems to become more spectral, hinting at his Specter type. In its final evolution, the duckling becomes significantly more terrifying than cute.
In a less badass but much cuter register, Reddit user Affectionate-stay-96 shared his own vision of Coiffeton’s evolutions. This time, the duckling becomes a magnificent goose as her brushing takes the form of an elegant hat.
The artist Iker_320 meanwhile seems to have seen the fiber of the famous character Don Quixote in Coiffeton. In its final evolution, the adventurer duck would even be entitled to a sublime watery steed.
Finally, let’s take a look at the work of B_Brave who marvelously respected the influences of Pokémon Purple and Pokémon Scarlet. Indeed, the first trailer has already revealed the Spanish influences of this opus, and our artist did not fail to draw inspiration from it. Thus, Coiffeton here becomes Quakistador: a clever wink!
