PKMN Legends: Z-A Official Starter Discussion

Hey_PIKMIN · February 28

@Squeaky16 i really don’t think that they meant anything by that, it wouldn’t make sense to have a two birds and a snake in the same trio I’d rather it just be all birds

Snivy is pretty much certain though

Hey_PIKMIN · February 28

I think the starter trio will be three pokemon that don't get a lot of love and don't have special forms

kanto and hoenn starters will be in the game because they have megas

kalos starters will get megas

galar and hisui starters will not be included because they have special forms

Paldea starters feel to early for new forms

Snivy is based on france so chicorita tepig and turtwig wont happen

that leaves 5 starters Totodile Piplup Popplio Chimchar and Litten

piplup is very popular and I think wouldn't work as well

Popplio kind of looks like a clown/mime which i asociate with france

which leaves chimchar as the final pokemon

1. Snivy

2. Chimchar

3. Popplio

4. No

5. Froakie/Charmander

@clasingla, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but the Pokemon Company would hopefully give these starters Mega Evolution forms, and Charizard can mega evolve.

That being said, instead of Tepig, how about Litten as a fire type starter. I would love to see a Incineroar Mega Evolution.

This has come up a few times on the forum; do you know what the word "official" means?

I don't like any of the starters in Kalos, so hopefully it will be like PLA and they won't be starters.

We might get a selection similar to PLA, with gens 2, 5 and 7, just swapping them around. Or it might be starters they feel are thematically relevant to Poké-France. Then again, the PLA starters were given new Japan themed evolutions, so it could be anything.

@Pokemaster9293 We won't be getting Oshawott since it featured in the other legends game: Arceus.

UnovanZorua · February 28

Official? Is this discussion made by the Pokémon Company itself?

Anyways:

Snivy

Scorbunny, Chimchar, or Litten (most to least likely imo)

Popplio

@Pokemaster9293 didn’t they already use oshowatt for legends arceus wouldn’t they choose a new one

I like to bet on that, well, I would like the starters to stay the same as Kalos, I love Fennekin, but if it changes, I'll like it too, and my bet is:

Grass: Chikorita( A mega Meganium would be cool, I think Chikorita deserves it)

Fire: Charmander ( Thus appears a Mega Charizard Z)

Water: Piplup ( This is a compensation for one of Sinnoh's starters getting a mega that he didn't have in the Remakes)
