Snivy, Piplup, and Torchic is what I think. Blaziken already has a Mega, but would have a different one with a different form. Maybe new Blaziken is big and fat. I would suggest Fire/Poison or Fire/Electric.

Blaziken would be the perfect opportunity to answer the question: What if you gave a regional to a pokemon with a mega evolution?

Correct. I assume all of the Kalos starters will also get Megas as well as many Gen VI Pokémon.

Slowbro already exists.

Yes, but it haven't answered the question since it's regional form so far only have been available in games with no mega evolution.

It's unlikely, given Gen 2 already got representation in Arceus, but I kinda hope the grass starter is Meganium. It's my favorite of the Johto starters (well, Bayleef is, but going all the way to the end with a middle stage starter is a bit much no matter who you pick), and it always gets crapped on for being the least helpful starter in that region

Pokefans after seeing an unrelated trio of grass/fire/water starters: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!

Yeah, fair enough.

funny, i saw a post with the exact same theory of yours a while back. it's not impossible these guys will be the starters, but i feel like this happen everytime speculators see stuff like this

I was just in Europe without my phone and wondered, “Did they just confirm the starters?”

Honestly, I think the starters that Mikey(sorry if I misspelled the name) said are most likely it, and I do think they could make some very cool mega’s and regional forms

Naw, the reason those 3 are on there is because they had cards in that set in the tcg.

That makes sense.

I like how every time a see a post like this, most of them completely skip over the 2 French inspired starters

Which one other than Piplup?

Snivy, it is overall based on European royalty(like how the other two do) but it pulls a lot from French royalty in specific

YO, PLEASE. GIVE ME A NEW TORTERRA!! I NEED MY BOY TO GET A NEW REGIONAL FORM!!!

I find issue with those three because two of them are from gens that had new starters in legends arceus. I think it’s likely we’re gonna getstarters from gens 4, 6, 8 as none of them have megas or were used recently

I doubt 6 because it’s Kalos, and Legends Arceus didn’t have any Sinnoh starters.

I was thinking that too, but no other gens really work. Gen 9 is too recent, gens 2, 5, 7 were in legends arceus and, gens 1 and 3 already have megas for each of there starters so I don’t think they’d be used

I don’t think they care enough about region overlap if the other option is using a kalos starter

Only time will tell, what gen do you think it’ll be over 6?

Probably 5 because snivy has French inspiration

Empoleon would make sense for gen 4 for the same kinda reason

Yeah that’s also a likely starter

I 100% agree, it’s probably not them, but three starters together just made me want to share.

Only 1 gen was in arceus
