If you haven't heard, new leaks have been discovered in regards to Sword and Shield, as well as the final evolved form of the starters. Because the upcoming games will be heavily based around British culture, the starters will reflect that as well. According to these rumors, Grookey will be based on Donkey Kong who gained popularity via the "Donkey Kong Country" series which was developed by Rare, a U.K. game studio. Scorbunny will be based on a football/soccer player, which is a very popular sport in the U.K. And Sobble is the Pokemon that's numbered "007" in the Galar Pokedex, so it's going to be based on James Bond. Reinforced by the fact that it can blend into the environment like a spy.

Also, my favorite is Scorbunny because I'm a Fire Starter loyalist and because I love rabbits.
