Pombon topped February's most searched Pokemon list, with Brot just making the cut

Pokemon gave us a first look at its next games last week, and we're all thinking about one thing – Pombone. Pombon is the Fire-type Pokemon that everyone fell in love with the second they clapped during that Winds & Waves trailer, and we already have proof that it will be a very popular Gen 10 starter.

Bulbapedia – like Wikipedia, but for Pokemon – shares the top six and bottom six most visited pages on its site each month. It's an easy way to see a snapshot of what Pokemon is all about right now, and what we've forgotten about. surprise, surprise, Pombon topped the list for FebruaryHowever the adorable little Pomeranian Pokemon didn't appear until there was a day and a half to go.

Pombon received a month's worth of attention in a day and a half

This meant that people flocked to Bulbapedia on Friday afternoon and Saturday to learn more about pombon. Most of you had more visitors to the new page in a 36-hour period than any of the other 1,027 pages managed throughout the month of February.

Yes, there are 1,028 Pokemon, and more to come as we sail the winds and waves.

It wasn't a case of Brot and Gequa following closely behind. Winds and Waves' other two partner Pokémon don't have as much interest in Pombon. Brot, the green angry bird, managed to make it to the top six, followed by Pikachu, Eevee and Lucario, and poor old Gequa was nowhere to be seen.

I'm picking Gecqua, anyone have

Well, that's technically not true. Bulbapedia expanded the top six to let fans know exactly where Gecqua ranks, and almost made it to the top ten. Perhaps Winds and Waves is an early indicator of which of the starter Pokemon will be the most and least popular. For what it's worth, I was always going to pick Gecqua, even before I found out that it gets the least love.

Also, visit Bulbapedia and read about Klang when you get a chance. Let's pump those numbers.

We'll no doubt be seeing and hearing more about Pombon, Browt, and Gecqua, the new region they call home and another new Pokemon they share in the coming months, but it may be a while before the next update. To the dismay of many Pokemon fans, last week's reveal was confirmed Winds & Waves will be released in 2027. That means Gen 10 won't be here for at least another year.
