With the latest trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A revealing its trio of starter Pokemon from across the franchise's generations, the ultimate pick of Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile has raised questions as to why Game Freak chose these three. With its predecessor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, setting the precedent for featuring an intergenerational mix of starter Pokemon, it seemed highly likely that Pokemon Legends: Z-Awould continue the trend with its own starter trio. As a result, rumors and leaks about Legends: Z-A's starter Pokemon have surrounded the game ever since it was first announced in early 2024.
