ZA’s starters may have leaked

A well-known source of Pokemon Leaks may have just dropped a hint for these Pokemon Legends: ZA Starters. Pokemon Legends: ZA is currently in development and is the second game in the Legends series, following Pokemon Legends: Arceus. ZA will take place in the world of X & YBut the starters will not necessarily come from the same generation. This has led to much speculation about what starters players can choose from for the upcoming title.

Pokemon Liquor Riddler_Ch (Spotted by comic book) shared a cryptic message on X that simply says “3 5 8.” Many take this message to be referring to the generation of each starter in Pokemon Legends: ZA. If this is true, it suggests that The grass, water, and fire starters are, respectively, of the third, fifth, and eighth generation. of the franchise.

As with all leaks, This should be taken with a grain of salt. Riddler_Chu is known, as the name suggests, to speak in riddles. While they are a well-known source for Pokemon Leaks, they have a mixed track record and their hints seem intentionally vague, making it hard to determine how good their leaks are. If Khu is right though, the leak means that the most popular starter predictions are wrong.

How likely are the Pokemon Legends: ZA’s starters?

Current predictions hinge on Pokémon’s connections to France

The starters in Pokemon Legends: Arceus There were Rowlet, Oshawott and Cyndaquil, all three of whom were starters in the previous one Pokemon Games. The three starters come in gen 7, 2 and 5 respectively, and all three have received a new final evolution form for the Hisuyan region where the game takes place. If the next game in the Legends Series keeps the same pattern, therefore Players can see three more Pokemon that have appeared as starting Pokemon in previous games, But with new regional final forms.

Currently, the strongest contenders for starters in Pokemon Legends: ZA are Snivy (Gen 5), Piplup (Gen 4), and Torchic (Gen 3). This prediction is based on the connection of the three Pokémon to France, since the game’s main location, Lumiose City, is based on Paris, France. However, if the leak is to be believed, this means that fans are wrong in this prediction since the generations do not equate with the leaked numbers. The new popular prediction for the upcoming starters is Treeko, Tepig and Sobble, Although this switches the order in which the starters are presented.

Our Take: Can You Trust Pokemon Leaks?

Nintendo keeps a tight lid on its games

As fun as it can be to speculate about upcoming games, Nintendo is known for keeping a very tight lid on all of its games. Generally, Riddler_Ho is one of the more reliable sources, and even they are not always right. There are also So many fake leaks floating around online That it can be difficult to know who to trust.

In the case of the cryptic “3 5 8,” either Khu got the order wrong, or they are completely wrong. If we look at the generations in order, the leak points to Treecko, Oshawott and Scorbunny as the starters in Pokemon Legends: ZA. Since Oshawott appeared in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, This strikes me as incredibly unlikely.

Chances are, fans won’t know who the starters are for the next one Pokemon Game Until Nintendo is ready to reveal them. The starters for Arceus They were only announced three days before the game’s worldwide release, so fans may be waiting a while to find out Pokemon Legends: ZA Starters are.
