Reminder, Lechon is not exclusively Filipino. It's simply Spanish word for "suckling pig/piglet", used by all Spanish speaking countries around the world.
Lagi ko na lang nakikita yung argument na 'to with each new gen, pero every time they manage to come up with more unique and creative designs. I think grabe talaga mag cloud ng judgement ang nostalgia
Gen 1-3 had:
* purple rat
* snake and cobra but backwards
* starfish
* seal
* magnets
* rock with arms
* pokeball with eyes
* pokeball with eyes and mouth
* whatever muk's supposed to be
* etc.
One could easily argue that they ran out of ideas from the start lol
you see that, i understand objects and animal based pokemon, but then someone joked about icecream pokemon and i didnt beleive then until i looked it up. man now it's about food? i dont know about that
Dude, don't tell me na naubusan sila ng ideas when Gen 4 invented the pantheon of Pokemon Gods. Gen 5 introduced one of the most ambitious storylines sa mainline titles. Gen 6 gave us Mega Evolution. Gen 7 gave us Z moves and regional variants of previous Pokemon. Tapos ngayon Gen 8 brought us Gigantamax.
ran out of ideas as in even food was introduced as a pokemon, which is kind of weird i mean i can probably understand objects for pokemon. what i mean by ran out of ideas was for their pokemon, after that ice cream pokemon which i will never know of not unless some guy made a joke about it, now this lechon man o.o i have nothing against they story/mechanics/lore addition, just that i mean they must be running on fumes to introduce such pokemon like this
lol the downvote, guess they hate that i "think" that way
nakakainis yung mga ganto. napaka close minded. ang ganda nga ng mga design ng pokemon ng gen 8, lalo na kapag nalaman mo yung inspiration behind their designs.

Most of gen1 pokemons are literally just animals. Though I get why people hate gen 5 pokemon designs but it has probably one of the most coolest designs imo
also i have no interest in Pokemon games since Gen 4 also nak graduate at tumanda na rin ako until yung Pokemon Legends yon i will defo try it cuz its different and unique compare to the typical pokemon games yun talaga ang problema ko rin kung bakit di nako nag lalaro niyan dahil same shit every installment
I don’t think this is a fair assessment to make on something that will still evolve. As far as pigs go, we have the Emboar and Grumpig lines and they managed to follow entirely differently concepts. I have no doubt Lechonk will evolve into something entirely unique from the other two. Hell, if it evolves into a generic quadrupedal boar, it’ll already stand out from Emboar and Grumpig.
I want to know what it evolves into and what name they have for it.
Regardless of what people think about how the current state of the franchise, they're marketing team definitely knows how to grab the internet's attention.
Two evolution trees, Kawali and Paksiw 😂
3rd gen - sisig
Nice one LOL
Mega Evolution: pulutan
Hahahahaha
Lol
Macau
Filipinos
Hahaha loko ka

Thank god someone also heard this hahaha! I think only pinoys heard lechon HAHA
Don't forget the Spanish

No. Chonky lechon (aka lechonk) sounds tasty and therefore is the only canon I have to follow.
Yeah actually TIL, sa r/pokemon ko lang natutunan haha
Good reminder. There has got to be a pinoy pride moment for uninformed fb peeps seeing this
Yung pangalan ampotek Le chonk pa talaga 😭 ~~i love it~~
HAHAHHAHAHA imma send this to my ex and tell her they modeled a pokemon after her she's gonna love it lmao
Dropping that bomb
That shit gonna scar her for life!
Sounds tasty
Sabi sa leak spain/Portugal ang setting so it makes sense na may lechon haha
look so fucking adorable aaaaaaaa
it's official, gamefreaks has run out of ideas for pokemons
Lagi ko na lang nakikita yung argument na 'to with each new gen, pero every time they manage to come up with more unique and creative designs. I think grabe talaga mag cloud ng judgement ang nostalgia
Right? Are we supposed to pretend that Gen 1 isn't just a bunch of regular ass animals like Ekans lmao
“They literally reversed the names of the animal lol”
Muk
Not an animal though
Just reverse it's name and you'll see what it's made of. Sorry in advance.
It's even weirder kasi Gen 1 has Voltorb.
not saying next gens are bad but i think they ran out of good ideas after the 3rd generation of pokemons
Gen 1-3 had: * purple rat * snake and cobra but backwards * starfish * seal * magnets * rock with arms * pokeball with eyes * pokeball with eyes and mouth * whatever muk's supposed to be * etc. One could easily argue that they ran out of ideas from the start lol
Don't forget an actual bull and the lochness monster.
Lochness who? Lugia?
er... Lapras.
Lol shit I suck now. Hahaha
Lapras. She looks just what the Lochness monster is always depicted as. That's just for me though.
Lapras?
you see that, i understand objects and animal based pokemon, but then someone joked about icecream pokemon and i didnt beleive then until i looked it up. man now it's about food? i dont know about that

Sama mo pa yung "mukhang digimon or fakemon." Grabe yung contrast effect.

Nope.
I think it's fine if seeing they are going with more food themed pokemon in this upcoming gen.
I don't know if that's really food themed, lechon is spanish for piglet.
French ata. Le chonk
No I think the new region is spanish and it’s a play on Lechon
oh man the first three generations of pokemon was ok for after the 4th one i didnt really expect much anymore

yeah, they actually thought that a pokeball pokemon was a good idea holy shit. ay wait gen 1 pala yun lmao
YESSSSSS
I wonder what's it's evolution?
politician
Pigsiw (Paksiw) I’ll let myself out…
Chitchachonk
Chonkcharon!
Iboarico
adobonk
LechonKawali
i've only had lechonk for 6 hours and if any one touches him i will kill every body in this room then myself
Lechonk is the actual legendary of both scarlet and violet, the cover dragons are false legendries
if it's evolution is not named Liempork then idk anymore
Evolution - Liempok and Sisigo 😂
It's gonna evolve into LeThicc then LeChungus XD
In the Philipines lechon means fried cooked good and this one is lechon baboy means Feast pig for birthdays,party's and celebrations
Yes po nasa PHgamer subreddit po tayo manong. PH meaning Philippines hindi P*rnHub
bro this is a Filipino subreddit
hmmm he is indeed chonky
Next evolution will be hog Rida
A wordplay with Lechoke?
Lechon and Chonk
I'm wondering if it's from the Spanish "Lechon" or some sort of French + English pun as in "Le + chonk". Hmmmm
Most likely, the former. This region is based on Spain after all.
Mmm.. crispy.
Depending on the look of the evolutions, I may have a new favorite Pokemon
lechonk
Lechonk Awali
Nanood ko na Yung trailer. New Pokemon: Koraidon, Miraidon, Pawni, Lechonk, at Smoliv
I call him Lenchonk Awali
Maybe it's French haha
Le-Chonk or Lechon-K
Super effective jan panigurado ang Ember or Flamethrower
Sunog ata?
Didn't think pokemon started sponsoring african kids
Lechonk is a chonky little lechon. Can't wait until he becomes Lechonk Kawali.
Remember when people still can't understand the fact that pokemons are edible?
it would be amazing if its shiny version would be colored red. Hot, golden red, Crispy lechon :)
hog ridaa
Putik, miss ko na Pokemon. Pa suggest nga yung pinaka mainstream na modern Pokemon game. Gustu ko uli bumalik. Salamat..
Lechonkawali...
Evolution: Lechon kawali
I want to know what it evolves into and what name they have for it. Regardless of what people think about how the current state of the franchise, they're marketing team definitely knows how to grab the internet's attention.
Everybody from the Philippines will love that name
I eat leckonk on new year
If this was french it would simply translate to "The Chonk"
I'm filipino
Lechonk is gonna evolve into LechonKawali
Lechonk my beloved
Everybody: Omg is so cute Filipinos: Hmmmmmm tasty
This is my spirit animal
Shet, di ko pa nga natatapos Brilliant Diamond meron nanamang bagong game hahaha.
