 Hello friends Osiris here and in today's video I want to talk about the starter pokemon that we potentially might see in Pokemon Legends the year. So one of the first things that we got with the introduction of Pokemon Legends Arceus was a brand new set of starter pokemon from all different generations like we've never seen before and the thought of that is pretty exciting going into this next segment in the Legends series. The big question is are they gonna continue this trend going into Kalos this time in Lumion City or are we gonna see just something completely different and another curveball sent our way from Pokemon. It's a big part of me and I've probably a lot of you aren't gonna like this but I do think maybe if Pokemon Legends the year isn't set too far in the past that we might just end up seeing the Fennec and Chespin and Froki as our starter pokemon like the original X and Y starters. That might be just what we see and that could be curveball enough everyone expecting that we are gonna get a new starter set going into these games but it would make sense also to have the original kalos starters. The other reason for that is as well because they never got mega evolutions in those X and Y games and you think because they are kind of the starters from that region we got a bunch of other starters with mega evolutions but just not those. Maybe this is the game where they're like okay we're focusing in on the kalos starters they're all gonna get their special mega evolutions that never got before. Again that could be another reason why we see those kalos starters picked rather than a new combination of other pokemon. Of course we did get battle bond Greninja as well so that was something else but it wasn't really a mega evolution was it so I do think there is some weight there and some thought to have that we could expect potentially just those kalos starters rather than anything new but that takes away from the fun of today's video because I think there is a few pokemon that we can easily discount from this list and put together a final list where we can pick our starter pokemon. I think it's easy to discount the kantonian starters they've not only got mega evolutions but they were featured in X and Y as kind of a secondary starter set right so I think for those reasons alone they probably will be included in the game but I think we'll have to obtain them in other means rather than them feature as the initial starter pokemon that we'll see. I think Cyndaquil is the next one we can knock off the list as a possibility it was featured in pokemon legends arc is as a starter there so don't see them repeating it but the chikorita and the totodile in particular are they gonna go down the line of mega meganium that would be the only thing that would maybe put me off the chikoria but we'll leave it in there for the moment and totodile is an easy one to leave in there especially if we've got a mega evolution mega fralegator would be amazing to see and definitely one of my top picks going into this one but I do think these two are definite possibilities I think the gen three starters for the fact that they have also had mega evolutions we've got mega blazerkin mega septile and mega swampert I feel like these are going to be discounted straight away as well just for those reasons I think there is a lot of reference that we can take from torchic in particular when we look back to that reveal trailer of the starter pokemon being introduced to the indigo disc if you look at that one of the starting scenes is that the cyndaquil is next to the torchic and a lot of people are pointing in that and saying oh that is a that is a reference we've got the pokemon legends arc is starter right next to potentially what could be the legends the a starter and torchic and I think mega blazerkin already existing makes that unlikely in some respect because I think if they are going to introduce three new starter pokemon to this region to this game I think they're all going to be pokemon that don't have a mega evolution before of course there is that huge reference to the gaolic cockerel in Paris as well it's a very prominent emblem in France in Paris in particular if you don't know what I'm talking about the cock guliwa is the symbol the emblem of the rooster the cockerel that we see throughout France in a lot of different ways it would be a huge nod to something like blazerkin that we know is a cockerel or based on some sort of rooster pokemon but I think again it's just a bit too obvious and like I say pokemon don't ever do the obvious I mean legends the a is a great example of that right here right now I think when it's too obvious I think it's just not going to happen so for those reasons we'll discount all of the gen 3 starters just because of those mega evolutions and how obvious some of those picks are now I think the gen 4 starters chimchart, tertwig and piplup could be good contenders but again the one that I'm going to discount from this list and probably a lot of you aren't going to like because it is a huge fan favorite and it is something that I would love to see get a mega evolution but it is going to be piplup I think the links between piplup and obviously Napoleon and that french tie there again is very obvious and again if we go back to that trailer originally announcing the starter pokemon in the indigo disc it was right next to the osherwot the other pokemon legends alkiest starter pokemon and I think for that reason alone it probably scratches it off the list straight away for myself so I would discount the piplup here and we would leave the tertwig and the chimchart as possibilities because I do feel like they could be potentially the starter picks that we see going into this game or at least one of them the gen 5 pokemon are interesting ones snivey again is a lot like the piplup again it was featured next to Rowlett in that reveal trailer for the indigo disc with the starter pokemon being introduced so it does give you an instant nod to say okay well that one is in pokemon legends alkiest this one's going to be the next one I just think it's too obvious and then when you look at superior as well it's kind of royalty presence that it's got it's got almost a fleur de lis on its chest I just feel like the ties there are so obvious it's almost like a red herring saying well yeah this is definitely it would make so much sense for this to be the starter that pokemon are going to look at it and say no if we're going a different direction with this we're going to go with a different link if they are mixing up the starter pokemon so for that reason I feel like snivey is not going to be a pick as much as I would love to see it happen and on top of that as well I do still think and fully believe that we are going to get a black and white remake announced some point this year and come out this year and for those reasons as well starter pokemon if it is a remake are going to be the original black and white starter so they will feature as a starter pokemon in that and a bit like pokemon legends alkiest in the way in which we saw brilliant damage and pill come out and the starter pokemon from gen 4 in those bdsp games wasn't the starter pokemon in pokemon legends alkiest so for those reasons I am going to discount all of the gen 5 pokemon so sorry snivey tepig and osher what as well osher what's an obvious one because it was a starter pokemon pokemon legends alkiest now we've already touched about the gen 6 pokemon and the reasons why I could see them just being the starter set going into these new games a bit of a curveball but it makes a lot of sense right if we're not set too far in the past we could just see fennekin chest pin and the froki as the starter set and then end of getting mega evolutions in the game but I think if we are following suit from that pokemon legends alkiest game and we are going to get a new starter set with every new legends game it gives them a chance to mix up these pokemon and kind of redesign some of the final evolutions if they feel like they need a revamp or just an alternative form it does give you a reason for that so I think potentially for this game we'll discount the generation 6 starters just for that reason as well now going into generation 7 obviously roulette because it did feature in that original pokemon legends alkiest starter set I think that makes sense that it's not going to be a repeat again so we can discount that one straight away but litten and popular definitely possibilities then going into generation 8 the skull bunny groovy and sobble I do feel like they could be definite possibilities one of these could feature as one of the new starter pokemon in these games and then you have to finally discount the generation 9 starters because I think the one thing that you would say about the pokemon legends alkiest game was that we didn't feature any of those generation 8 starters none of them appeared in the games at all and I think because these generation 9 starters the few cocos brigitito and quacksley are all in scholar and violet now that's their kind of own space at the moment I don't think they're going to be ported to anything else anytime soon so we'll have to wait wait further down the line before we see those introduced maybe in future games so for that reason we'll scratch them off that leaves us with nine pokemon in total to pick from so really cutting down a lot of the field for I think pretty solid reasons which leaves us the chimcha litten skull bunny the chikorita turtwick and groovy and then the totodile poplio and the sobble so these are our final ones and we have to get down to a final three now I think the one thing that you could potentially say here is chimcha although I would love to see it get a mega evolution is probably not really got any connection to france like the skull bunny has it's an easy one to make football of course france love football france are good at football so there's the easy link there and also how close galore is to call us as well that kind of connection with those two regions being so close to each other could see skull bunny make its way over to call us from galore and be one of the starter selections here to end up getting a mega evolution which would be kind of fun to see I think the other thing to think as well as the litten france have a big affinity with cats and cats are a huge part of french culture french people love cats so that could be a big point to saying that litten could be one of the starter pokemon that we see going into these new games and going down to the grass starters instantly I want to say is as sad as it makes me because I would love nothing more than to see a regional form of meganium or even a mega evolution of meganium you know mega meganium I think for that reason alone we're probably not going to see a mega meganium unless they do a final evolution of chikorita and it's got a completely different name to meganium so making that mega meganium thing not a thing and then they give it a new mega evolution but it's still meganium in some roundabout ways I just don't know I just feel for those reasons alone that we're probably not going to see chikorita featured here we'll have to wait for a later generation a later game for that pokemon in particular to get some love you could see the turtwick and the grookey is potential options of course we will have to discount the grookey if scoboney is a starter pokemon from the eighth generation then we move down onto the water types I think totodile totodile you say okay well what are the connections with totodile to paris to france well there is an interesting story in 1984 there was a crocodile found in the paris sewers and then that baby crocodile that was found was taken to the paris zoo and it's still there to this day so there is that kind of fun story it's quite a famous story in paris poplio I don't know what connection we've got with poplio to callos probably one that I would say is more that I could discount in the first place and of course sobble is a kind of frog type of pokemon I guess you could classify it as a sort of frog pokemon right and france are known to love frogs and eat frogs legs and stuff like that so I guess there's that tie there but I do think probably sobble isn't one of the starters that we see here although intelligent could be another one that we do see as a mega evolution but I'm going to say we'll discount sobble for now because the waiting on that and just because the french are known to eat frogs as a delicacy doesn't really put much waiting on it to pick it as one of the starter pokemon going into this one although stranger things that happened so I think going down here I would say out of the two generation aid starters it's probably more likely that we see skull bunny over grookey just because of the affinity with football I think that that france have got and then that only leaves one grass starter so I think we have to say goodbye to litain for this which would make me very happy because I think we don't want to see mega insinua as much as I would love to see it in game I don't want to see it in competitive but then we have this final starter set of totes isle to twig and then score bunny and yeah there isn't really a connection of the tortoise if we're trying to make a connection of tortoise or turtle in paris but I think you know it's one of those pokemon that's a bit like chikorita totera is a very cool pokemon it's got a very niche fan base there are a lot of players that really love totera and it never felt like it was one of the more popular starters whereas you know I'm a big fan of totera I'd love to see nothing more than it to get a mega evolution and I think it's enough of a curveball where no one's really expecting totera to get a mega evolution or be one of the selections for those starter pokemon then it could be a possibility I think the totodile being a fan favorite as well I think the starter selection looks really good the totodile the turtle egg and the cinderace there are connections that could be made there with at least two of them but I think as a as a collection aesthetically it looks pretty good I think and I would be really happy with this with the totodile the turtle egg and the score bunny so they're my selections based on the fact that I think everything that we've seen so far theory wise is just too obvious and the connections are too obvious to make between the links that were made between the trailer for the indigo disc and we saw the the legends archies starters right next to those are the ones and how obvious and the connections that those other pokemon that were next to those original starters from pokemon legends archies are I think it just it's too easy for us to make that assumption and the connections to France and Paris in particular so for those reasons I think that they are not going to be part of the starter selection that we do see but the most important thing is what do you think this has been a fun video to do I've really liked seeing it and I think one of the reasons why I'm doing this now early on is because probably we'll see the selection of starter pokemon very early on in the release trailers and the run-up to these games it is normally one of the first things that show on the gameplay trailers the starter pokemon that you get from this region but don't discount the fact that we could just see the original x and y starters in these games as well so I think a 50-50 on the x and y starters and then this fun selection that we've put together today with the totodile the turtle egg and the cinderace I just didn't want to go too deep down the rabbit hole with obvious connections to Paris with the starter pokemon alongside some of the other footage that we've already had in different trailers and then make those links that are pretty obvious to make going into these games like I say I think the big thing to think about is pokemon don't like to do the obvious and I think because they are so obvious and everyone's making those connections that I think for those reasons they're not going to be the pokemon that we see being selected as the different starter set that we might get in pokemon legends here but let me know what you think what is your perfect starter selection down in the comment section below that doesn't need to be any sense behind it what starters would you like to see as a combination in these new games thank you so much for tuning in to today's video other friends I hope you found it enjoyable let me know what you think about my crazy theories around these starter sets and do subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with all of our pokemon content thanks so much for tuning in have a great rest of your day I'll see you in another video very soon till then friends take care of yourselves and bye bye
