Pokemon Legends: Galar was recently leaked

As part of the recent TeraLeak 2.0 that revealed Pokemon Gen 10, plans for a Pokemon Legends 3 the game was also detailed. This leak confirms the theory that the Galar Region will be the setting for the Legends: ZA sequel, set over 1,000 years in the past and delving into the origins of the first Gigantamax Poke Ball. Because of this, the launchers of these games can look very different Legends: Arceus introduced new Regional forms and Legends: ZA gave his starters Mega Evolutions, but they still have a chance to fill the gap created by the previous two Legends games.

  • Pokemon Legends: ZA

    • Chicory (Gen 2)

    • Tepig (Gen 5)

    • Totodile (Gen 2)

To bring Legends subseries full circle, Snivy would make the most sense as a Grass-type starter since it's the only remaining Gen 5 starter that hasn't been released yet. WITH Pokemon Legends: ZAStarters completing the Gen 2 trio, Litten and Popplio are obvious choices for a Fire-type starter and a Water-type starter, respectively, as they would add Legends: Arceus” Rowlet to complete the Gen 7 starting trio.

As Pokemon Legends: ZA made it possible for two starters of the same generation to appear as starters for a Legends game. So Litten and Popplio are both on the table Pokemon Legends: Galar game.

As such, these starters will likely receive the new Gigantamax forms, similar to the Regional Variants and Mega Evolutions that previous games' starters received.
