"A Unique Theory on Grookey's Evolution Theme"

So obviously the starters were revealed yesterday, and people are already in love with them/forming GANGS around them. The designs this time around are pretty solid, and remind me a lot of Gen 6's starter batch.Now remember, in Gen 6, the last time a region was based on Europe, we got three starter evolutions that were based on fantasy characters from that region. Delphox a witch, Chesnaught a knight, and Greninja, a rogue/ninja (needed the Japanese influence in there somewhere) Galar is pretty clearly based on Great Britain, what with a Westerosi shape, Hobbiton-like starting village, very Industrial Revolution looking main city, and soccer/football stadium seen briefly at the end. So, I think the starters final evolutions will incorporate elements of British culture in a sort of group theme, much like in Gen 6.Scorbunny will very obviously turn into a soccer-themed Pokemon. It kicks. It's fast. "Score" is in its name. Pretty simple.Sobble, as a water lizard, almost has to turn into some type of Nessie/Water Horse sea monster type thing. It's too easy.But what about Grookey??Something was off to me about his name. Pokemon names are very often portmanteaus of two other words that describe it. "Key" is from monkey, clearly. "Groo" almost sounds like Grass, but why the "oo"?Then it hit me.It's not from grass. It's from GROOVE.What is the very FIRST thing we see Grookey do in the debut video?He's hitting a stick on a rock.You guys, he's fucking DRUMMING.HE'S A GROOVE MONKEY. AND HE KEEPS HIS DRUMSTICK IN HIS HAIR.I now STRONGLY believe that Grookey will be a rock and roll themed, musical Pokemon. He'll probably get another drumstick or a bongo or something as he evolves. Britain's history with rock and punk cannot be overstated. The British Invasion changed music forever. It makes way too much sense. It's way, way too good not to be real.In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a Grookey evolution referenced the name of an extremely famous British drummer. Something like….oh, I dunno…ORINGOTANThanks for coming to my TED Talk. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2Ep9fUS
