Pokemon Wind and Wave have the perfect candidate to bring back the Fire starter’s zodiac tradition

According to recent leaks, the next generation of Pokemon – Generation 10 – will be titled Pokemon Wind and Wave. The legendary Pokemon featured in the games will reportedly have a human-like appearance and embody either wind or water. The games are said to take place in a tropical archipelago inspired by the cultures of Southeast Asia and Indonesia, a fresh setting for the series which has previously been based in Japan, America, or Europe. Fans have been wondering why this generation might revisit the tradition of basing Pokemon on the Chinese zodiac, and the answer seems to be a creature from local folklore that perfectly fits the theme.
