I think the scor in scorbunny is standing for both scorch and score. It's colored like a soccer jersey. And we've already seen the protagonists wearing sports jerseys and walking into an arena.
So the bunny plays rear end-foot, the monkey plays baseball or cricket, idk about the amphibian.

Is Scorbunny supposed to be a football player? So it's "score" and "scorch"?

The new starter names are perfectly fine if you consider that the new region is based on the UK and think of them as hosed up British slang. "Cor guv, gonna be a bit o' Grookey down at the Sobble." And Scorbunny could have been some lovely europlatformer on the Zed Ex Spectrum

Random observation, partially inspired by this post: So far, all of the non-Japan based regions have been separated by rather large real world distances, but Kalos should be right next door to Galar if geography still works remotely the same. I wonder if there'll be any Kalosians hanging around in the game.

Probably has to do mostly with him not having a Switch and not having played Let's Go. The first thing is probably gonna change soon though

So scorbunny = scorch/score + bunny and sobble = soggy(?) + bubble, what's grookey besides monkey?

Galar map:


The geographical links to Great Britain are kind of loose here, what I assume to be London is in the center with the clock tower, and the hill figures are north of it, when hill figures are mostly a Southern England thing. Scotland is the ice zone because of course it is. Is one of the cliff areas meant to be Devon (assuming the fossils are found in the Devon equivalent because Devonian period)? If so, once again much further north than it should be. Wales gets completely ignored, rip. I'll defer to people with more knowledge of British geography than me, I'm just guessing wildly off what little I know.

Interesting, but what typing would a soccer rabbit be when fully evolved? (Please not fighting)
