Ever since it was first revealed in 2024, rumors and leaks around Legends: Z-A have been rampant, with speculation encompassing everything from its Lumiose City setting to potential regional variants and the return of Mega Evolutions. Among these were questions over which Pokemon would be picked for Legends: Z-A's starter trio, especially when its predecessor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, featured starter Pokemon from multiple generations.
