Say hello to your Z-A starters.
>>56456357Hola, it's ya boy Jok3r and I'm in Alola (what it do)
>>56456357Prove it
>>56456357>Even more regional replacement
>>56456357There's no reason for Scorbunny to be there other than hurr durr France like soccer too
>>56456404Khu said new art including the ZA starters would be coming soon. And we just got the official 2025 calendar art, and the only 6 starters are Paldea's plus these 3. Why these 3 specifically for artwork that's supposed to be for next year?
>>56456357>That ugly fucking rabbit again At least make it presentable
>>56456522> Khu said-Stopped reading right there
>>56456420It'll be Scorbunny, you'll see.
>>56456357I'm hoping for Mega Cinderace and Mega Empoleon
>>56456357I hate scorbunny so much, I really hope it fades into obscurity.
>>56456916Fire/Electric Mega Ace would be badass
>>56456522>burned leaker continues to claim importanceAll you baby bastards are FAR too early with your predictions. Game's not launching until November next year, meaning they haven't sent any scripts for localisation yet, meaning even if khuck WANTED to properly leak, she still wouldn't have the actual game scripts and associated materials with his chinky/nippy bilingual friends to tell him what's going on (because he didn't work on the things, just got cliff notes from those who did - "they just called it "Ice Rock Monster" when referring to H. Avalugg).
>>56456357
>>56456522because they're shillmons, simple as
>>56456357These have to be what Khu was tweeting about when he said we will see promotion for them at the end of the year
>>56456522>>56457002He never said they will show art of the starters. He literally said the starters will be revealed this year (not leaked via some calendar), their goids were produced for Pokemon centers to sell and that ZA promotion will start this year. I dont see why they'd just randomly spoil the starters and ruin the surprise they've kept for so long
>>56457015Maybe the calendar is what he was referring to. Read between the lines
>>56457027Why? When he openly said they'll start promotion this year. Random appearance of unannounced starters in a calendar isnt ZA promotion.

>>56456357>>56457071I will say they do like marketing Scorbunny and Piplup together a lot, doubt that means anything but who knowshttps://youtu.be/HgOIu2_gb0w?si=NnmFhG10ZiZRn86T
The starters will be new species.
>>56456420Torchic would be the easiest pick, but the fact that Megas are back kind of rule it out because it'd mean having either one starter with an old Mega and two with a new one, or only one starter with a Mega while the other two don't.Both scenarios are impossible because they'd cause the three starters to not be equal in appeal from both a marketing and gameplay perspective.The two most likely Fire starters, Torchic aside, are Litten and Scorbunny (Chimchar already got some exposure due to PLA and BDSP, Charmander has old Megas so it's the same issue as Torchic, Tepig makes even less sense than Scorbunny in terms of inspiration, for Fuecoco it's too early).Litten, however, has the problem of Incineroar being still a very popular pick in competitive (and I suspect they are going to move the competitive to PLZA for 2025 because they have already shown in the announcement trailer that it'll be a game more focused on battles compared to PLA, which is also why Megas are back) and I'm not sure they want to give it an alternate evolution anytime soon. It MIGHT be though, I think Litten is the most likely after Scorbunny.Scorbunny is already a European starter, it's a soccer player and also a bunny. Apparently some towns and parts of France have an overabundance of rabbit population. Surely it would fit better than a Chinese pig. It's on tie with Litten for me, but slightly more likely. Scorbunny is also a lot more shilled than Litten as a starter in merch lately as it was pointed out already.
>>56457071>RowletWtf we're getting another regional Decidueye
Why do retards think that Gamefreak is going to do something that everyone is expecting?No one predicted Legends Z-A yet they all think they can predict the starters too
>>56457222Exactly. If anything this calendar looks like GF making fun of all the theories involving Snivy, Piplup and Scorbunny (and there were tons of those, especially here)
>>56457209There's also this little bit of lost history of Napoleon and Rabbits kekhttps://youtu.be/7Yvt33TlKJs?si=IZf6VaGx3Adv2SeB
>>56457071Cute
>>56456980Cute Boyfriends
>>56457228What other Water starter besides Piplup could they pick that would fit with France?
>>56457034A promotion can be in the form of anything. A flyer, a video, etc
>>56456357>Scorbunny >PiplupProbably two of my favorite starters, I hope so
