    @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

    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.

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

    Anyways:

    Snivy

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

    Popplio

    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)

    @OlderAngel11 and @clasingla sorry I meant to put mudkip and I forgot

    Mudkip causes if you try to figure out what gamefreak is going to do next you’ll go insane so it’ll be a popularish starter

    I hope not charmander I think if we think about it how kales has always been kinda medievaly I guess the witch fennican would be smart

    The grass monkey why don’t know but feels right
