Everyone loves Sprigatito, the new weed cat Pokémon starter

The new Pokémon generation is on the way,And half the hype of the announcement over Scarlet and Violet is arguing about the new starting Pokémon. There’s a fire-type croc, a cute little duck guy, and then my personal favorite: Sprigatito, the grass cat. While Fuecoco and Quaxly are both cute, I’m a cat person through and through, and Spigatito is an adorable little kitten. For me, it’s an easy choice.

The beauty of starters is their ability to evolve. While everyone might be delighted at the starting form of a Pokémon, you never really know what it’ll turn into. Let’s take Litten, for example. You can read more about The SwordAnd Shield Starter is a cute little kitten that turns into a bipedal, raging luchador. That’s a big transformation! Sprigatito may be in for a similar fate.

Spigatito is currently enjoyed online by many fan with memes, fanart and other memes. It’s a grass cat — a weed cat, one might say. That’s led to a lot of good, wholesome fun online.

There’s just one problem fans foresee when it comes to Sprigatito, and that it will follow in the footsteps of fellow cat starter Litten. Sometimes, Pokemon can evolve into a better version of themselves. Ekans, for example, is a baby snake that transforms into an even scarier viper as it becomes Arbok.

Who will Spigatito be? That’s still up in the air, and fans have one big request: please, do not turn the weed cat into a bipedal man.

Pokémon ScarletAnd VioletThe starters are due to become available later in 2022. Trainers will be able to see the evolutions over the following months. Personally, I think I’ll join the choir of fans who hope that Sprigatito remains a little guy running around on four paws. There’ll likely be a whole new host of Pokemon revealed as we lead up to the release of ScarletAnd VioletThere are many to choose from, so everyone will be able to find the one that suits them best.
