Summary
If a reputablePokemonleaker is to be believed, fans will know what thePokemon Legends: Z-Astarters are by the end of the year.Pokemon Legends: Z-Awas announced with a brief trailer that confirmed the game’s Lumiose City setting, its 2025 Switch release window, and little else. There are still many unanswered questions about the game, but more information should come to light in the months leading up to its eventual Switch launch.
As a follow-up toPokemon Legends: Arceus, the expectation is thatPokemon Legends: Z-Awill handle starter Pokemon similarly to its predecessor. This means that it’s likely fans can expect three starter Pokemon from pastPokemongames to be recycled inLegends: Z-A, though with the possibility that they will have alternate final forms with different looks and typing. Fans won’t know for sure until thePokemon Legends: Z-Astartersare revealed to the public, and luckily, that is apparently happening later this year.
ReliablePokemonleaker Riddler_Khu recently took to Twitter totease upcomingPokemonprojects. They were asked for news on thePokemon Legends: Z-Astarters, and responded that they will be revealed “within this year.” Riddler_Khu did not provide any hints as to what the game’s starter Pokemon will be, but fans already have their theories.
The current theory is that thePokemon Legends: Z-Astarters will be Snivy, Torchic, and Piplup. This theory was put together becausetheir evolutions can all be tied to France, which is the country Lumiose City’s Kalos region is based on. Not only that, but thePokemon Legends: Arceusstarters were recently paired up with Snivy, Torchic, and Piplup in aPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC trailer, which fans have taken as another hint for theLegends: Z-Astarter lineup.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Starter Predictions
The good news is that if Riddler_Khu is right about thePokemon Legends: Z-Astarters being revealed this year, fans will have their questions answered within the next six months or so. It’s possible thatPokemon Legends: Z-Awill be featured at theNintendo Direct in June, though that event is said to be primarily focused on Switch games coming in the second half of 2024. It’s also possible that another Pokemon Presents will be held at some point this year, which would provide the perfect opportunity to reveal thePokemon Legends: Z-Astarters. Whenever the starters are revealed, it will be interesting to see if the theories about them were correct or not.
Pokemon Legends Z-A
The sequel to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Pokemon Legends: Z-A takes Pokemon trainers back to the Kalos region’s Lumiose City.
