After a lot of days since the reveal trailer of Winds/Waves, here are my speculations on what the Gen 10 Starters would evolve into.

Anyways...

Fowlush (Fowl + Lush)

Based on Selkie chickens, with the leafy eyebrows turning into a sleeping mask, with its plumage looking like pajamas.

Parvorowda (Paboreal (Filipino for Peacock) + Arboreal + Pavo (Peafowl Genus) + Rowdy + Garuda)

Based on the Green Peafowl (a Peafowl species native to SouthEast Asia as well as Southern China, Pavo Miejue (an extinct Peafowl species found in Taiwan (I know that Taiwan isn't technicnally part of Southeast Asia, but it's often paired with Southeast Asia, so... let me have this.) Garuda and punk rockers.)

Designer's notes: I wanted to do something different to the usual cassowary or jungle fowl (either would be cool), then I remembered that Browt is known as the Bean Chick Pokemon, and the chickpea is a type of bean. Also, if you seperate chickpea into "chick" and "pea" and swap them around, you get "peachick, the youngling of a peafowl. For Parvorowda, I tried to do a peafowl design without making it look TOO much like Quaquaval (even though they're more based on wading birds like grebes), so I decided to give it a punk rocker vibe with the mohawk. Also, chickens and peafowls are part of the same order (Galliformes) and the same family (Phasianidae), so having a selkie chicken evolving into a peafowl wouldn't be too far off (I mean, just ask the Pikipek line.).

----------

Chowcoal (Chow Chow + Carcoal/Coal)

Based on the Chow Chow (a floofy dog breed, just like the pomeranian.).

Pagsabrong (Pagsabog (Filipino for explosion) + Barong)

Based on Mastiffs, Barong, guardian lions and Fireworks.

Designer's notes: I tried to make this line not suffer from "it gets bigger" syndrome, so I included a few elements, like the fiery marking on Chowcoal's chest, and Pagsabrong's front paws being cloaked in a pinkish flame. Also, I made Pagsabrong semi-bipedal (akin to Swampert and Skeledirge) because I can.

----------

Tokask (Tokay Gecko + Cascade)

Based on the Tokay Gecko.

Karanaga (Karagatan (Filipino for Ocean) + Naga)

Based on Geckos (such as the Tokay Gecko, Meditation, Waterfalls, Seers and Naga.

Designer's Notes: Like the others, this is my attempt without copying of other people who made/commissioned something similar, so this is the best I can come up with. When I was making this line, I was wondering "how can I have a gecko turn into a part-snake like creature?" Simple. Make the legs slightly smaller, making it look like it meditating (a-la lotus pose). I also turned the marking between Tokask's eyes into Karanaga's "third eye", as it perfers to have its eyes closed. I also decided to have its long tail look like a cascading waterfall. Also, considering that the fully evolved Water Starters have a weapon theming (Blastoise: Cannons, Feraligatr: Brass Knuckles, etc.), I settled for a whip, hence the tail.

What do you think? If they were real, which would you pick? (I'm still picking Browt either way.)

(And yes, I had to use Google Translate to find Filipino words for their names, considering that Winds/Waves could be based on Southeast Asia.)
