Nintendo and The Pokemon Company revealed the next generation of Pokemon, known as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, during a recent Pokemon Presents. During the trailer, the three starters were shown off and since then, the Pokemon community has been creating various fan arts based on them, including one that imagines Quaxly as a popular Cartoon Network character.
Reddit user Miconomicon recently posted their Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan art which combines the Pokemon and Cartoon Network universes by applying Johnny Bravo's likeness to the new Water starter Quaxly. Instead of donning his blue skinny jeans and a black muscle shirt, the aptly named Quaxly Bravo is as bare as the starter Pokemon beyond his trademark dark shades. To properly emulate Quaxly, Miconomicon has swapped the bright blonde hair typically worn by Johnny Bravo for a light blue shade that reflects the Water-type Pokemon's nature.
Quaxly was unveiled alongside Fuecoco and Sprigatito during the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announcement trailer which also showed some in-game footage of the upcoming generation of Pokemon. Since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were announced, Pokemon fans have been anticipating their middle and final evolution forms to decide which one they're picking when the games release later this year. Quaxly's appearance has caused some Pokemon players to speculate that its pompadour-like hair would continue to play a role in its appearance from one stage to another, with Miconomicon's Quaxly Bravo looking like a final evolution.

Cartoon Network fans will immediately recognize Quaxly Bravo's pose as one of Johnny Bravo's primary flexes from the classic cartoon despite his face being mostly consumed by a duckbill. Reaching both arms away from his body, this pose typically shows off Johnny Bravo's biceps but instead emphasizes the white feathers from the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter Pokemon in Miconomicon's fan art. It remains unclear what Quaxly's evolutions will look like, but Miconomicon's Johnny Bravo fan art has caused some Pokemon fans to hope it shares some similarities with the cartoon character.
Although a lot of Pokemon fans are imagining what Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Sprigatito's final evolutions will look like, Nintendo has yet to confirm any of their evolutions. Because the shiny versions of these starter Pokemon haven't been shown off either, Quaxly's shiny may have a yellow cap which would make Miconomicon's comparison even more fitting. Johnny Bravo isn't the first cartoon character that Pokemon fans have compared Quaxly to since it was revealed as another fan art reimagines the Water-type Pokemon as Huey, Dewey, and Louie from Disney's Ducktales.
