February ended in style for those Pokémon fans, since, far from wanting to keep the trail of Pokémon Arceus Legends for much longer, we have been able to see how The Pokémon Company has kept the wheel turningthereby giving rise to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple being announced at Pokémon Presents on February 27, the titles that are equivalent to the ninth generation.
In this way, it should be noted that the new Nintendo Switch titles have revealed different clues that indicate that the new region will be based on Spainwhich has given rise to many fans speculating about the creatures that we could see, since a trend that has been going on for years is that of create Pokemon inspired by your actual region.
To give examples of this, Polteageist is a reference to English tea, Furfrou to French poodles, Braviary to American eagles and Comfey to Hawaiian flower necklaces. And it seems that a fan could have found clues about a new Pokémon.
The Rooster of Barcelos could reach Pokémon
According to the PokePortuga account, when Ohmori and Masuda visited the Iberian Peninsula years ago, they showed great interest in the Rooster of Barcelos, this being a Portuguese legend and a symbol within our neighboring country. And it must be said that this interest is not invented, since this account has uploaded a photo of the directors of Game Freak with this rooster, which could open the doors to the existence of a rooster Pokémon in the ninth generation:

Regarding this rooster from Barcelos, it must be said that legend has it that a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago was accused of stealing from a landowner, being taken to a judge who was eating chicken. In this way, the detainee announced that if he was innocent, let the rooster rise and crow.
This did not happen, but, according to his account, during the moment in which the hanging should have been carried out, the dead rooster got up and crowed, which made the judge see that he had made a mistake. And it seems that he was not the only one, since according to what they say, the gallows rope was poorly madeso the pilgrim ended up free.
A story that perfectly understands the reason why caught the interest of Masuda and Ohmori. In this way, whether or not there will be a Pokémon based on the Barcelos rooster is something that we will have to find out at the end of the year, since It will be when Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple are releasedwith November being the most likely month for these games to hit stores.
