I don't think the Kalos starters are going to be the proper starters, but they should be obtainable and they should have mega evolutions. It's so unfair that the starters of the generation that introduced megas don't have them

Tbh, considering how games nowadays are rushed and/or lazy, we are probably just going three random starter from other regions, but they evolve into a regional form of its regular evo.
This. Though, if they DO decide to do what they did last time, all of a sudden we have a formula. As it is now though, I feel like the hype around this series is even bigger than the mainline series is now, lol
@silence2314 In everyone's defense, Legends Arkoos was a pretty solid game. That, and megas are coming back _somehow_ . I feel like they're just going to be this game's version of alphas/nobles and just be boss fights only, and we won't get any new ones. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we get to actually use all the old ones _and_ some brand new megas too. Let's just hope that Legends ZaZa will be just as good, if not better.
Which was developed by a different studio. That's why it's actually competently made and not just the same old boring, lazy, poorly animated games from the mainline series.
To be fair, there are so many pokemon at this point. It's hard to keep track of all of them. I constantly forget certain species exist until I see them every once in a blue moon. I can only imagine how daunting that must be for someone new to the franchise. I think TPC has noticed this, too, and this factor's not just giving us smaller dexes, but I also think this is why we didn't get full evolution lines of the new regionals in PLA. Changing the type triangle probably isn't even being considered. They would have to make 9 new regionals instead of the 3 regional evos. The target of the Legends games (at least PLA) didn't seem to focus on new mons. PLA had so few new additions that you can't even fill a box with those species, and that's counting regional forms.
Here’s my ideal trio with some ideas for their evolutions: Sprigattito: grass/steel type based on a fencer and thief. Since Arsene Lupin is French in origin, it’d be interesting to make Kalosian Meowscarada a gentleman thief wielding a sword with grace. (That may or may not be the p5 fan in me though.) Tepig: Fire/fairy type based on a pastry chef. This is actually inspired by tepig cooking its food before eating it, and since France is known for pastries why not tie that to a starter. Kalosian Emboar doesn’t even need an oven, HE IS THE OVEN! Mudkip: Water/poison type based on a factory worker. This was a difficult choice but I was thinking of making it a reference to the industrial revolution, so Kalosian swampert would be slinging industrial waste instead of mud! (This would probably be my choice since mudkip is my first starter.)
Infernape: fire/electric, literally just infernape but yellow like super saiyan Infernape: fighting/fairy literally just infernape but white based on gear 5 luffy
There are two reasons for that 1) They can't copy something existing if they know about it, so the fan made ones take designs too similar out of the running as the community is pretty vocal about what ones they like 2) They need to appeal to large groups. Companies don't want to risk that, so they tend to play it safer with designs, especially if it's an established series. It's not ALWAYS the case, but often is
@@Icalasari but not only that it causes backlash to the artists for not putting the effort into the design when in reality they do put effort into design it's not in the van's favor is what the problem which is also expectation.
I think it would be way too confusing if they deviated from the original type triangle, especially for newcomers. Grass, fire, and water are very easy to figure out the type matchups for. Plus they’re fairly balanced in gameplay compared to anything with ice or steel.
Charmander y is so cute,it just has little wings on its arms like a kid putting on a home made costume. It also kind of mirrors the simplicity of charizard y,I NEED CHARMELEON Y NOW.
My guess is that they give you the Kalos starters at a similar point in the game where you would normally get the Kanto starters as they had mega evolutions given in that game so it would make sense
I desperately need more eeveelutions. But let's just go super stereotypical with it and have regional Mr. Mime, Slugma, and like Accordion Rotom or something
Eevee as a starter have always been my dream, since I started playing the games as a kid. I really hope we get that, or a new eeveelution! A dragon or rock type would be amazing!
Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie as starters - with (finally) their mega evolution - was my first thought, so I'm not gonna get disappointed if that's the case. But let's put some spicy things to it: in Scarlet & Violet, we got 7 stars raids for a rock-teratype Chesnaught, fairy-teratype Delphox and poison-teratype Greninja. What if they use these types for the megas? Maybe grass/rock fire/fairy, and water/poison, or even crazier rock/fighting, fairy/psychic and poison/dark.
What I imagine would happen in Pokemon ZaZa is that the starters from other regions get variants for their final forms, kalos starters get mega forms or bond forms of some kind and either the gen 1 or 1 and 3 starters come back with their mega forms as rewards of some kind, then they get put into the tenth gen if it comes up.
A (very low) starter possibility could be an emboar inspired by Thor (similar to God of War for example), since Kalos' legendary ones have Norse inspiration, in addition to hisuian typhlosion being inspired by a creature from Japanese mythology, they could repeat this formula again to make a mythological fire starter, I would guess that the type of this emboar could be Fire and Steel with some viking armor and obviously the hammer
for one of my own regions, which is an alternative universe that switches around typings of certain mons, the starter trio is like… electric fennekin, ground sobble, and flying turtwig. they’re actually technically inspired by delta species aha! would be really cool to see that concept in actual official material
I would love both type swapped starters to another super effective type triangle or just type swapped starters to another one of the types in the main trio… Both of those sound amazing. They absolutely do!
The problem with ice - fighting - flying is that while they are an offensive triangle, they dont maintain the triangle defensivley. They should do a dark-psychic-fighting triangle
I feel what will happen will be, there will be 3 past starters (most likely Snivy, Litten/Scorbunny and Piplup), but then later on the Kalos starters are obtainable
I'd love to see the story implications of having a paradox Pokémon starter trio, especially if Z-A takes place in multiple eras. Where did they come from, why are they there? Why did they choose you to be their trainer? It would be really exciting It would also be cool to see them your Legends Z-A tie back to the Gen 9 games, considering you never did any actual time travel in those games
It has to be both a super effective triangle AND a resistance triangle in the reverse for it to be fair (which is why ice-fighting-flying or dark/fighting/psychic fundamentally don’t work.)
I don't bother as much for who takes the Fire and Water spots, assuming it will be the classic type triangle (which is very likely since its Game Freak). Gen 2 already had Cyndaquil in PLA but damn it all, the (imo heavily underrated) Chikorita evo line needs some well deserved love.
Ive been dying to have regional variants of starters that are their weakness. With that id like to see regional evolutions for starters or convergent pokemon of starters. Imagin seeing what looked like a fire type squirtle but maybe its a fire type called Flawerfer (im literally using the German ww2 flammenwerfer for that name) that evolves into a giant lava turtle based on the Carbonemys (giant ancient turtle)
The starters may not even get regional variants, considering they'll probably be getting megas. Nothing that was new in Gen VI got a mega except for one of the mythicals (Diancie)
Last time they did Gens 2, 5, and 7, so if they do Charizard Z finally (which makes a lot of sense with mega evolutions confirmed) I'd imagine they could do the same pattern using Gens 1, 4, and 6. Gen 1 would be the fire type starter, so that leaves either Torterra or Empoleon for Gen 4 and either Chesnaught or Greninja for Gen 6. Greninja has already gotten a lot of love with Ash-Greninja and being included in Smash, and Chesnaught could really use a cool regional design! Plus astronauts (what chesnaught is based off of) could be considered futuristic like what they're going for. That only leaves us one choice, with the water starter Empoleon from Gen 4! So the 3 starters would be: Charizard (and Mega Charizard Z), Empoleon (and Mega Empoleon), and Chesnaught (and Mega Chesnaught)! Great video as always btw, and the flying type Chicorita is hilarious 😂
i ironically like the 3 charmanders idea lmaooo and i think giving megas to the kalos starter will happen, but just like the kanto starter they will be a secondary starter, so we can still have other wacky ideas, maybe not the charmander one but i do like the eevee idea, need to feature eevee again somehow, id say its the second most iconic base pokemon after pikachu and arceus
Fun Fact: the first generation to have Eeveelutions is actually Gen 3 with Colosseum's Espeon and Umbreon, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness with Eevee itself!
Ive been saying I wish they would use forms of psuedo legends. Forms of metagross, tyranitar, and komo o fit well in a type triangle but would be cool if they added the fire water and grass types to them. (maybe water metagross, fire tyranitar, and grass komo-o.)
I’m working on my own Pokémon region and their starter trio is a bit different using types that fit their culture a bit better. Also the region is super cold and there aren’t any suitable grass types. The starter trio is fire,fighting,ice.
Eevee is a bit shaky for a starter, considering Lets go eevee was released only 4 years ago (if it was released in 2020, i have a hard time remembering.) but it WOULD be cool.
I had this sick idea where or starters or snivy scorbunny and piplup but like in the original kalos games we could get a second starter except this time it be the hoenh starters because there the only starters with megas

Infernape: fighting/fairy literally just infernape but white based on gear 5 luffy
I adore this
Spigatito: Fear me...if you dare
Having fairy type paired with a chef motif is a recipe for horrific dex entries
Interesting idea but I think theres an almost 0% chance they give non-starters starter status or change the triangle.

Nintendo: "Quick write that down--WRITE THAT DOWN"
I'd be pretty excited by 3 charmanders
I was doing stuff for a fan game and did a double triangle with fire/ground, water/rock, grass/flying so they all had weaknesses in both directions.
Fighting-Rock-Flying is the only perfect type triangle that doesn’t involve Grass, Fire, or Water, so they could use that.
I would love both type swapped starters to another super effective type triangle or just type swapped starters to another one of the types in the main trio… Both of those sound amazing. They absolutely do!
There was something I saw about Fire/Water/Grass being designed to be the perfect type trio, and no other trio would really work
Eevee idea is iconic honestly

Great. You manifested the idea into the universe. Now we're going to have to chiose between 3 Charmanders.
Okay, but the charmanders are kinda bitchin
The problem with ice - fighting - flying is that while they are an offensive triangle, they dont maintain the triangle defensivley.
They should do a dark-psychic-fighting triangle
They need to hire you. This ingnited a need I didn’t know I had
I feel what will happen will be, there will be 3 past starters (most likely Snivy, Litten/Scorbunny and Piplup), but then later on the Kalos starters are obtainable
Nintendo panicking when they found out 3 charmanders wasn't a good idea
I always thought a starter trio of Dark, Psychic, and Fighting would be great to mix things up.
Never knew I wanted Chikorotor and Bubblesaur so badly.
The eeveelutions would be so cool, now I’m really excited hoping for a new eeveelution at all
Dark, Psychic, Fighting triangle is something I've alwaus wanted. Or Steel, Ice, Ground
The possibility of a different type started trio is solid below 10% And thats generous.

Where did they come from, why are they there? Why did they choose you to be their trainer?
It would be really exciting
It would also be cool to see them your Legends Z-A tie back to the Gen 9 games, considering you never did any actual time travel in those games
I like the idea of getting away from the normal types
It has to be both a super effective triangle AND a resistance triangle in the reverse for it to be fair (which is why ice-fighting-flying or dark/fighting/psychic fundamentally don’t work.)
Sooooo, Grass-Poison-Ground?
Wow these ideas are all really cool!!!
With the fact Kalos is going to be future based, I'm curious to see what they do as a regional form this time
Eevee can't get more evolutions, because every evolution specializes in one stat, that's what makes them special
Honestly, the Kalos starters one is what I want the most. I really want those three to get mega evolutions, and X and Y was my first pokemon game.
I think it would be awesome if one day they made the trio clayfairy, pikachu and eevee (with regional variants to deal with the typing)
Holy shit that bulbasaur looked awesome
I don't bother as much for who takes the Fire and Water spots, assuming it will be the classic type triangle (which is very likely since its Game Freak). Gen 2 already had Cyndaquil in PLA but damn it all, the (imo heavily underrated) Chikorita evo line needs some well deserved love.
The Eevee idea is cool ASF
There needs to be a game where all the starters 3rd stage a second typed dragon.
The eevee idea is awesome
Ive been dying to have regional variants of starters that are their weakness.
With that id like to see regional evolutions for starters or convergent pokemon of starters. Imagin seeing what looked like a fire type squirtle but maybe its a fire type called Flawerfer (im literally using the German ww2 flammenwerfer for that name) that evolves into a giant lava turtle based on the Carbonemys (giant ancient turtle)

Regional starters would be nice. I've always liked the idea of an electric cyndaquil
3 charmanders would be pretty darn cool XD i like the eevee evolution idea
3 new eeveelutions would be giving us too much lmao but i love that idea if they could incorporate why we dont have those 3 types anymore
That quaxly would go hard as a shiny
Legends Z-A will be in the Kalos region of old, better known as the Holon region with the Holon tower (TCG)
I really like all these ideas!!
Last time they did Gens 2, 5, and 7, so if they do Charizard Z finally (which makes a lot of sense with mega evolutions confirmed) I'd imagine they could do the same pattern using Gens 1, 4, and 6. Gen 1 would be the fire type starter, so that leaves either Torterra or Empoleon for Gen 4 and either Chesnaught or Greninja for Gen 6. Greninja has already gotten a lot of love with Ash-Greninja and being included in Smash, and Chesnaught could really use a cool regional design! Plus astronauts (what chesnaught is based off of) could be considered futuristic like what they're going for. That only leaves us one choice, with the water starter Empoleon from Gen 4!

What they *really* should do is make us pick between the three Burmy forms. Everyone would love that.
Eevee is a bit shaky for a starter, considering Lets go eevee was released only 4 years ago (if it was released in 2020, i have a hard time remembering.) but it WOULD be cool.
My bets are regional forms, cross gen/branched evolution, or convergent “forms”
I reckon piplup will be one of the staters on account of Empoleon being based on Napoleon and it of course being in Kalos which is based on France
I had this sick idea where or starters or snivy scorbunny and piplup but like in the original kalos games we could get a second starter except this time it be the hoenh starters because there the only starters with megas
