Given how legends just casual drops starters into the wild and makes it feel natural doubt the og starters would be post game but instead regular game.
@TrampledBySquirtles yup remembered, X and Y was the first and so far only game to have roller-skating, so it'd be fun to turn scorbunny into a roller-skater and also give it the type it deserves fire/ electric
According to a new pokemon card pack its looking like it will be Totodile, Litten and Turtwig. These 3 are featured on a pack releasing this year that has almost an exact replica format of a pack that came out before legends arceus. That pack's cover featured Oshawott, Cyndaquil and Rowlet.
@@t3xtn0t35 just had to look it up but I found it pretty quick. The Sword and shield astral radiance fun pack is the legends arceus one and the scarlet and violet temporal forces fun pack is the presumed Z-A one
Emboar seems more likely thanks to a direct connection with French culture; the Asterix and Obelix comics, where the two main characters are Roman era Gauls who hunt wild boar. I can absolutely see Emboar being reimaged with something of a Gaulish theme. A boar-barian as it were.
popplio fans are still out here praying for the same love rowlet and litten get :') just saying- that mermaid tie-in could be pretty cool nice work as usual!
With rowlet getting in last time I don't they will get in yet sadly. But that's ok! That just means we are going to see them in a later game. And If litten gets in, then we're in for a long haul.
I'd have gone with: >Snivy King maker. Grass/Dragon. Called the King maker as it sees into the hearts of people. When kings found a way to keep the crown in the family. The Kalos Revolution happened soon after. >Empoleon. Conqueror. Water/Dark. It conquerors other terrarory with its cannons. It developed an Ice Cannon technique to freeze enemies. It has a rival in a Galar Starter variant (Duke of Wellington) (If GF picked Totodile, then PL: Unova won't have anything) >Litten. 1700s Aristocrat. It saps blood from opponents (Leech Life) it can also sap a random stat from an opponent. It likes being clean and will spend days on this. (What will PL: Greece use if Kalos uses Tepig? What will PL: Brazil use if Kalos uses Scorebunny?) The trio are chosen by the Aura Trio, and they also have an RPG (Cleric/Tyrant/Vampire) while also having a French theme.
What A LOT of speculators keep forgetting about these starters is their middle/teen/ second stage evolution…WHICH IS KEY to actually knowing who it won’t be. Tepid would not be chosen bc Pignite could not evolve into anything else than a sumo wrestler, as it’s already suited up to be one. Emboar couldn’t really look any different as a sumo wrestler (especially in a Paris setting), unless Pignit didn’t have the straps or suit look already in it. Whereas Raboot does not scream Soccer Player, but just sporty kicker…so Raboot has more options for alternate designs for its final evolution than Tepig. Another example is Grotle, as it’s basically a mini garden that could grow into any kind of tree or plant design, so it has many variations. Torracat could evolve into staying on all four legs and having that Sabre tooth look. But Prinplup of course could have many future forms since it’s so simple, so it has to be Empoleon for every reason. I wouldn’t count Crocanaw out, but Prinplup has a lot more reasoning to be.
The city in ZA is in Kalos, you can see it on the map on bulbapedia, we know Kalos is based on France. Why wouldn’t they just give Megas the to Gen 6 starters. But if you going to have a regional variant, you wouldn’t have the French Pokémon, Chespin, Froakie, and Fennekin. Sinnoh was Hisui, the starter aren’t gen 4. Those three make sense connecting France, Japan & NY. Hisui connecting Japan, NY & Hawaii. It would make sense to have a historical connection to France for the variants for the new starters.
@sarah31537 Yeah, I think fennekin and the other 2 kalos starters will be our second group of starters and will be the ones to be given mega evolutions but snivy, piplup and scorbunny will be the starters we get to choose at the beginning of the game, those ones will be given kalosian forms for their final evolutions
this makes more sense specially because arcaus set the president that the starters all come from different regions so you cant have tepig and snivy in the same batch as for the other starters even the paldia ones there probably going to make them show in mass outbrakes or this games version of dimensional rifts
I'm going to stick to my first guess, being Snivy, Piplup, and Torchic. I know Blaziken has a mega, but I don't think they'll have the Lumiosen starters (or whatever they plan one calling them) mega evolve.
I'm very excited for a Metal-type Torterra, but I'm hoping for the Litten line to receive an alternate final stage instead of incineroar, like a Fire/Ground type tiger, more in line with torracat. However, i do acknowledge that Tepig fits Kalos much better
If the legends follow the PLA logic the starters are transferred in from other regions to help with Pokédex creation I feel that the generations from PLA are the guaranteed starters for this so I think totodile snivy and litten
I want to see megas of at least Kalos starters. Kalos is the region where the mechanic was introduced. For me it's baffling they omitted Kalos starters
I want it to be a ghost fire chimchar evolution for the fire type. back when france and england where at war the english came into contact with monkeys on french ships, then assumed this is just what french people looked like, and they started "game ending" a bunch of monkeys with public hangings lmao
Definitely think that’s possible. I think we’re gonna see another Gen 2 starter, whether it’s Totodile or Chikorita I do not know. I’d honestly love to see Chikorita get some love
Out of all starter prediction vids I’ve seen so far, this is the most interesting! I’m totally onboard for a Water/Poison Feraligatr, Grass/Steel Torterra, and Fire/Dark Emboar (I chose Dark due to the FreRev, Poison I feel should be obvious).
I subscribed before he had 1000 subscribers. (Just want to remind myself when I come back to this video a few years into the future and that subscriber count's blown up)
Here's my predictions: Chikorita: Meganium (Grass/Dragon) Inspiration: Ampelosaurus "vineyard lizard" Tepig: Emboar (Fire/Fairy) Inspiration: Stage magician, Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, father of modern magic. Sobble: Inteleon (Water/Steel) Inspiration: Musketeer. Switches between a steel blade and gun.
That might have to happen! I’m working on the Mega Evolution predictions video and it’s put my brain into a pretzel. Looking forward to being gloriously right or tremendously wrong
Animal Farm was mostly a commentary on Communism as many characters were used to represent Stalin, Lenin and such, I feel like while it’s an interesting connection you’ve drawn between that and a possibility for Emboar I feel like it might still be a stretch, but it was a fascinating similarity you saw and one that does have merit
9:32 I’d actually be so happy for this outcome. I love all gen 5 starters, and seeing as how my favorite one already got a make over - I’d love for Game Freak to give Tepig another chance
I love this list, my main thing is that there is no divide stat wise. Every Pokémon game has a Fast mon, a Tanky mon, and an all rounder. This is the only point that I would raise, if we were talking about this in person. For that reason though, I think we’re looking at Froakie instead of Todadile.
Those 3 definitely need some love and a boost. I'd like for them to be mega though tbh. 2 sets of mega starters would be good imo, not need for alternate typings
for me im just waiting for chamander to be a starter and that is the introduction to mega z charizard. its too easy to not do it but damn do i hope they just dont. for me tho the list of wanted is prolly Totodile, tortwig and literally dont care aboutthe fire starter cuz the likelyhood of it being cynda, torchic or fuecoco is so insanely low, but i'd prolly have to pick litten.
Based on the legends ZA leaks that are out but not confirmed yet says it'll most likely be serperior feraligatr and blaziken I feel pretty good about those choices as snivy definitely feels snoody enough to be french and the feraligatr feels right but if anything I dont feel blaziken being the fire starter I'd think it might be infernape or inceneroar personally
I'm still rolling with the 2, 5, and 7 gen pokemon. It would just be really weird to suddenly go 2, 4, 5. Plus, it'd be weird to just give blatant bias to certain starters in a trio and then completely ignore the others forever. Granted, Charizard did get 2 Megas, and then a G-Max form first... but Charizard is a special case imo. Blaziken got a mega, too, and then a year later, the other Hoenn starters received one. I'm still thinking Totodile, Litten, and Snivy, or Chikorita, Tepig, and Poplio. I'm hoping for the first trio, as those are all my favorite picks in each game, but I'm satisfied with either. As much as I want some Turtwig love, I don't see it being the starter yet. My bet is that the Gen 4 starters are gonna get something special, but just not yet. Probably.
Here is the break down before people ask: I believe the legends series will all future a starter roster from diffrent regions. We will not get gen 6 or 1 starters because they will be in the wild like gen 4 starters were in PLA. Both sets of starters exist in the regional kalos dex. I also think gens 2,5, and 7 would not appear as these generations lent starters to PLA. Finally gen 9 starters we will not get as this game is part of the same generation, seeing the same pokemon feature in two games back to back as starters is not a good move on TPC.
Another one I'll get ahead of: No I don't think we should disregard gen 3 starter as there base finals have Megas. I believe that ZA will eaither not mega evolve the Lumosion form finals or grant each za starter an Luminosian- mega
I will be revisiting this comment when we actually know. If you are correct you will be permitted by Arceus to bask in your glory or wallow in your shame if you are incorrect. I don’t think the tcg pack thing holds any merit.
i personally think that snivy and empoleon are just such obvious options for Z-A, as those pokemon already have ties to france like how the Arceus starters all had ties to japan. i’m not sure whether the fire starter will be scorbunny or litten though (i doubt it will be tepig, as tepig is based off of chinese culture. the obvious french royalty tie in is both snivy, which is actually based on europe, and empoleon, for the reason you brought up) cinderace definitely works as a football pokemon as football is almost as big in france as it is in the UK and the UK and france already have a lot of historical ties, but litten works well, especially for the time period, being a typical sort of french alley cat (which have received many movies *because* of how typical they are). or maybe i’m biased because i really like incineroar lol. i also think rowlet gets way more special attention than litten does even before Arceus so i dont think incineroar wont get in just because of it’s praise. i think i’d rather it be snivy, piplup and litten (bcz again i love litten) but i’d understand if its scorbunny
As interesting as your predictions are, Rowlett Cyndaquil and Oshawott already had connections to Sinnoh, or Hisui at the time, which is why they were chosen for the starters. Snivy and Piplup have those connections, making them the most likely grass and water type starters. Scorbunny has the connections because it's a soccer player, but Torchic is based on the French national animal, which is the rooster. Blaziken already got a mega evolution, probably because of the connections I mentioned, so Scorbunny is the most likely option. I'm definitely going with Snivy if this turns out correct, since it's my favorite of these three, I use Scorbunny a little too much, and I just used Empoleon in Legends Arceus when I did a run with only water types. Plus, I chose Oshawott in my first playthrough of Legends Arceus, so it makes sense I choose the starter from the same region in the next Legends game.
Although I think totodile would be cool. I think empoleon will be it. I also think litten will be it as le chat noir is famous in Paris, but I do like tepig as the fire type. For the grass I think servile
I don’t think they’d do a 2 starters from the same Generation. Totodile seems very unlikely considering Gen 2 got a lot of love in L:A and Cyndaquil (being in the Johot trio) was already used. Same logic goes for Tepig. Turtwig, Popplio and Scorbunny make sense. But they could throw us curveball and use one of the 3 Paldean starters considering Paldea and Kalos have a lot ties between them.
Y'know, I never played Legends Arceus because I didn't look at it like a pokemon game. However, Turtwig is my absolute Favorite Starter so if you happen to be correct then I have to buy this game 😂. Awesome video btw 👏🏼🔥.
My Squad is definitely Full Gen 2 starters, Let them get the spotlight for the new Mega Evolution. It's very unfair that Gen 1 got and then skip Gen 2, It should be in order. Mega-Meganium (grass-fairy) it's very obvious that meganium can be fairy type considering it's design, they just have to add something twist or add-ons to it. Mega-Ferraligator (water-poison) just because grass againts water and poison against fairy. Finally, Mega-Typhosion. Fire-Dragon (my best option), Fire-Steel, or Fire-Fighting type.
I actually think it will be bulbasaur torchic and poplio but the starters will be conversant cause of the indigo disk trailer I think poplio will be fire Torchic would be grass And bulbasaur water
Totodile or Piplup 100% should be the water starter and make Feraligatr Water Poison type or Empoleon Water Ice type Emboar make it quadrupedal and Fire Ground type give it a buff in speed instead of HP Torterra I also have similar thoughts for
So, I always thought I was going to be piplup, snivy, and torchic after seeing them posted next to the PLA starters in promotional pictures for the Blueberry Academy DLC in Scarlet and Violet. However, in all fairness… They could have merely been hinting at the fact that legends ZA would be taking place in France, which we of course now know. I've heard some hints dropped by a popular leaker, Riddler Khu, who said that merch would be dropping soon with the starters for PLZA. since then, shortly there after actually, they did drop some merch that included piplup, snivy and.....Scorbunny. Now again, you may be on the right track, they may be doing a bunch of things to make us believe one thing and then just go completely different direction for your typical bait and switch, but by the same token I don't think they're nearly as creative as you're giving them credit for. An interesting thing that you haven't necessarily talked about though or I didn't catch it at least, is how these three would play against each other in terms of typing… Like if you can't make the typing makes sense in a Mexican standoff fashion, I think it throws wrenches into your gears here. A steel grass type Torterra becomes 4x weak to fire...the totodile you're proposing seems like it's water/poison (which is also hackneyed at this point) gives it no added benefit unless you're suggesting emboar will become fire/fairy.
Also to add since we just finished BDSP as well as PLA, I doubt any of the Sinnoh starters would be the choice when they are already available in two games that just came out 3 years ago.
11:00 I could see it
Totodile, the sewer redevelopment
Tepig, the government redevelopment
Turtwig, the building redevelopment
Couldn’t have said it better myself
The triple Ts
Be the first game where all the starters names start with the same first letter.
I FUCKING LOVE TURTWIG HE BETTER GET HIS LITTLE ASS IN ZA
Given how legends just casual drops starters into the wild and makes it feel natural doubt the og starters would be post game but instead regular game.
Same goes for Kanto starters, as all sinnoh dex starters were wild pokemon and reminder: kalos regional dex had both kalos starters and kanto starters
@fdrehug7318 both kalos and kalos starters 😂😂
You speak truths
I would love a water/poison typing totodile variant. "Spepticroc" as it's third evolution
We need Mega Feraligatr even if Totodile ain’t the starter!
Agreed, that’s my best buddy
Every Starter needs a mega. Except Greninja. Ash Greninja should be brought back.
@@Ghost_Rider_Vengeance ash isnt in the anime
@@idklolwut They aren’t talking about the anime
This is too elaborate for game freak

Torterra is gonna have the Eiffel tower on his back instead of the tree 😂

Yup scorbunny is a Soccer player so it would be fun to turn it into a roller-skater
That! Is something I did not think of.
If we get roller skater scorbunny, I'm naming it Sk8ter boy lmao
Id name mine Avril 😂@@ShadowTheHedgehog1-s3e
@TrampledBySquirtles yup remembered, X and Y was the first and so far only game to have roller-skating, so it'd be fun to turn scorbunny into a roller-skater and also give it the type it deserves fire/ electric

They could go down the route of pick your Emperor mon: penguin, pig, snake.

@@t3xtn0t35temporal forces fun pack comes with the official pokemon magazine
@@t3xtn0t35i think it's temporal forces
Totodile is the GOAT of Gen 2 but Meganium REALLY needs a new form that brings it into relevancy
Emboar seems more likely thanks to a direct connection with French culture; the Asterix and Obelix comics, where the two main characters are Roman era Gauls who hunt wild boar. I can absolutely see Emboar being reimaged with something of a Gaulish theme. A boar-barian as it were.
Animal farm is about the Russian revolution, hints to why it’s banned in Russia and not France. Really good book btw, highly recommended
Napoleon being the name of the main pig is pretty interesting too
popplio fans are still out here praying for the same love rowlet and litten get :')
just saying- that mermaid tie-in could be pretty cool
nice work as usual!
With rowlet getting in last time I don't they will get in yet sadly.
But that's ok! That just means we are going to see them in a later game.
And If litten gets in, then we're in for a long haul.
I'd have gone with:
>Snivy King maker. Grass/Dragon. Called the King maker as it sees into the hearts of people. When kings found a way to keep the crown in the family. The Kalos Revolution happened soon after.

The trio are chosen by the Aura Trio, and they also have an RPG (Cleric/Tyrant/Vampire) while also having a French theme.
my favorite final evo, KING MAKER
What A LOT of speculators keep forgetting about these starters is their middle/teen/ second stage evolution…WHICH IS KEY to actually knowing who it won’t be. Tepid would not be chosen bc Pignite could not evolve into anything else than a sumo wrestler, as it’s already suited up to be one. Emboar couldn’t really look any different as a sumo wrestler (especially in a Paris setting), unless Pignit didn’t have the straps or suit look already in it. Whereas Raboot does not scream Soccer Player, but just sporty kicker…so Raboot has more options for alternate designs for its final evolution than Tepig. Another example is Grotle, as it’s basically a mini garden that could grow into any kind of tree or plant design, so it has many variations. Torracat could evolve into staying on all four legs and having that Sabre tooth look. But Prinplup of course could have many future forms since it’s so simple, so it has to be Empoleon for every reason. I wouldn’t count Crocanaw out, but Prinplup has a lot more reasoning to be.
The city in ZA is in Kalos, you can see it on the map on bulbapedia, we know Kalos is based on France. Why wouldn’t they just give Megas the to Gen 6 starters.

Todadiles is such bad reasoning, empoleon is literally a France emperor
I love your choice for the grass type starter❤❤❤❤
Really hope its tododile, fav starter hands down
I’d be so pumped to see tepig as the fire type
Me and you both
Imagine it was like, gen 2, 5, and 7 like Legends Arceus, but with different starters like totodile, snivy, and litten lol
9:32 I’d actually be so happy for this outcome. I love all gen 5 starters, and seeing as how my favorite one already got a make over - I’d love for Game Freak to give Tepig another chance
My top 3 favorite starters in Z to A. That would be the dream!!!
I love this list, my main thing is that there is no divide stat wise. Every Pokémon game has a Fast mon, a Tanky mon, and an all rounder. This is the only point that I would raise, if we were talking about this in person. For that reason though, I think we’re looking at Froakie instead of Todadile.
Those 3 definitely need some love and a boost. I'd like for them to be mega though tbh. 2 sets of mega starters would be good imo, not need for alternate typings
tbh if they made the regional litten stay quadrupedal i would want it
i love turtwig i wonder what turtwig would look like on its final evolution

So i can do the break down, but the short version is that I believe the starters we receive in ZA will be from 3,4, and 8.

Finally gen 9 starters we will not get as this game is part of the same generation, seeing the same pokemon feature in two games back to back as starters is not a good move on TPC.

Guys it’ll be totodile, turtwig, and litten, they revealed Pokemon tcg pack arts of 3 of them just like they did with the hisui starters
I will be revisiting this comment when we actually know. If you are correct you will be permitted by Arceus to bask in your glory or wallow in your shame if you are incorrect.
I don’t think the tcg pack thing holds any merit.
As much as I love incineroar, i would really love to see a quadrupedal fire tiger starter so i hope they do that
i personally think that snivy and empoleon are just such obvious options for Z-A, as those pokemon already have ties to france like how the Arceus starters all had ties to japan. i’m not sure whether the fire starter will be scorbunny or litten though (i doubt it will be tepig, as tepig is based off of chinese culture. the obvious french royalty tie in is both snivy, which is actually based on europe, and empoleon, for the reason you brought up) cinderace definitely works as a football pokemon as football is almost as big in france as it is in the UK and the UK and france already have a lot of historical ties, but litten works well, especially for the time period, being a typical sort of french alley cat (which have received many movies *because* of how typical they are). or maybe i’m biased because i really like incineroar lol. i also think rowlet gets way more special attention than litten does even before Arceus so i dont think incineroar wont get in just because of it’s praise.

Blaziken already got a mega evolution, probably because of the connections I mentioned, so Scorbunny is the most likely option. I'm definitely going with Snivy if this turns out correct, since it's my favorite of these three, I use Scorbunny a little too much, and I just used Empoleon in Legends Arceus when I did a run with only water types. Plus, I chose Oshawott in my first playthrough of Legends Arceus, so it makes sense I choose the starter from the same region in the next Legends game.
Litten makes sense as the fire starter because of alley cats
Ha, Its Snivey, Torchic, and Totodile
Although I think totodile would be cool. I think empoleon will be it. I also think litten will be it as le chat noir is famous in Paris, but I do like tepig as the fire type. For the grass I think servile
I meant snivy for the grass type
I don’t think they’d do a 2 starters from the same Generation. Totodile seems very unlikely considering Gen 2 got a lot of love in L:A and Cyndaquil (being in the Johot trio) was already used. Same logic goes for Tepig. Turtwig, Popplio and Scorbunny make sense.
But they could throw us curveball and use one of the 3 Paldean starters considering Paldea and Kalos have a lot ties between them.
Same thought with Turtwigs Grass/steel typing but instead torterra Carrying Artillery... I dunno because Napoleon is good at Artillery?
Yes, hi there, I'm that one Snivy fan.
Somehow I knew you'd show up 🤝
I am predicting this and the next Legends game will cover the other Johto, Unova and Alolan starters, though that might just be mild OCD on my part
I feel like the starters are gonna be Snivy, Litten and Totodile I could be wrong but it just makes sense to me
Bin those starters until u find a kento pokemon
At 5:04 I thought I was gonna get Rick rolled
If your right this might be the best line up of starters ever
I need more infernape love in Z-A
if empoleon is in the game hes def gonna be based on napoleon
Mega Charizard Z 😂 not what I need but might be something we get
I like it and hope game freak is taking notes right now :)
my favorite pokemon finally gets some love 😁
underrated ass channel
I just pray they add Chespin and Primarina, those are the only two starters i care about ;.;
Y'know, I never played Legends Arceus because I didn't look at it like a pokemon game. However, Turtwig is my absolute Favorite Starter so if you happen to be correct then I have to buy this game 😂. Awesome video btw 👏🏼🔥.
My Squad is definitely Full Gen 2 starters, Let them get the spotlight for the new Mega Evolution. It's very unfair that Gen 1 got and then skip Gen 2, It should be in order.
Mega-Meganium (grass-fairy)
it's very obvious that meganium can be fairy type considering it's design, they just have to add something twist or add-ons to it.
Mega-Ferraligator (water-poison) just because grass againts water and poison against fairy.
Finally, Mega-Typhosion. Fire-Dragon (my best option), Fire-Steel, or Fire-Fighting type.
Imo it might be these gens starters (2,5,7) but in a different order, starting from left with grass it could be chikorita, tepig and lastly poplio
Starters have been hinted. Treecko, Tepig and Sobble.
Sobble
Turtwig was my first ever starter in emerald I pray he’s the starter😭😭😭
I actually think it will be bulbasaur torchic and poplio but the starters will be conversant cause of the indigo disk trailer
I think poplio will be fire
Torchic would be grass
And bulbasaur water
Totodile or Piplup 100% should be the water starter and make Feraligatr Water Poison type or Empoleon Water Ice type
Emboar make it quadrupedal and Fire Ground type give it a buff in speed instead of HP
Torterra I also have similar thoughts for
So, I always thought I was going to be piplup, snivy, and torchic after seeing them posted next to the PLA starters in promotional pictures for the Blueberry Academy DLC in Scarlet and Violet. However, in all fairness… They could have merely been hinting at the fact that legends ZA would be taking place in France, which we of course now know. I've heard some hints dropped by a popular leaker, Riddler Khu, who said that merch would be dropping soon with the starters for PLZA. since then, shortly there after actually, they did drop some merch that included piplup, snivy and.....Scorbunny. Now again, you may be on the right track, they may be doing a bunch of things to make us believe one thing and then just go completely different direction for your typical bait and switch, but by the same token I don't think they're nearly as creative as you're giving them credit for. An interesting thing that you haven't necessarily talked about though or I didn't catch it at least, is how these three would play against each other in terms of typing… Like if you can't make the typing makes sense in a Mexican standoff fashion, I think it throws wrenches into your gears here. A steel grass type Torterra becomes 4x weak to fire...the totodile you're proposing seems like it's water/poison (which is also hackneyed at this point) gives it no added benefit unless you're suggesting emboar will become fire/fairy.
Hoping that chikorita gets something
grass and steel? why would they give a starter 2x weakness to fire which is another starter type
Valid!
I think the starters will be chimchar, turtwig and piplup
It probably won't be 3 from the same gen, as we've seen with Pokemon LA
I love the massive Croc.
IDC who it ends up being, as long as Snivy is there
Pangwings 😂😂
I think that it would be near impossible for two starters from the same gen to be starter options
Snivy, Litten, Totodile will be the 3 starters. I think they will use the same three regions as they did with Legends Arceus.
Also to add since we just finished BDSP as well as PLA, I doubt any of the Sinnoh starters would be the choice when they are already available in two games that just came out 3 years ago.
I love sobble and I always pick the water starter every single time
Those become the starts… im going to have tough choice picking my starter
Chiquita, and teapot need a lot more love from Pokemon
