Leaked Mega Evolutions from Z-A: Potential Impact on Starter Traditions

So, this thing about Pokémon Legends: Z-A has absolutely got me in a twist. I mean, what even is going on if the starter Pokémon, like, get new Mega Evolutions? I feel like Game Freak might be playing some kind of 4D chess here, or maybe they’re just winging it — who can say? When the game was announced, yeah, they teased these dudes, but left us hanging on the details. Crazy, right? Then this leaked list pops up, and all I can think is, “Boom, game-changer!” Or maybe not. These leaks are like the wild west of Pokémon rumors; anything goes.

Okay, let’s break it down. Legends: Z-A throws in a starter mix-up. Remember Gen 2? Yeah, Chikorita and Totodile are back, and from Gen 5, we’ve got Tepig. But, here’s the kicker: no regional variants. Why though? Maybe they’re doubling down on Mega Evolutions instead. Legends: Arceus had those Hisuian forms, but Z-A? Not so much. This could shake up the whole starter Pokémon scene, or maybe it’s just a fun twist. Depends on how you see it, really. Personally, I’m all for a little chaos now and then.

Now, throw your mind back to Gen 6 with those first Mega Evolutions. X and Y? Iconic. Then Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came in with Mega Evolutions for Gen 3’s starters, and whoa! Balance restored. But there’s this ongoing question: how’s Z-A gonna handle it? New leaks suggest a bunch of Megas, perhaps uniting past gen starter trios with fresh upgrades. It’s like the Pokémon version of a family reunion, with Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja getting a high-five. But man, I feel bad for Emboar, Feraligatr, and Meganium. They might just be left waiting at the train station, metaphorically speaking.

Anyway, oh wait, where was I headed with this? Legends: Z-A could really throw caution to the wind — or stick with tradition, kinda like they did with Arceus. Remember how Hisuian forms only applied to certain starters? Gen 5 and Gen 7 were like, “What about us?” Pokémon Company just nods and carries on. Just how it is.

So, looking ahead, Legends: Z-A might not stop at launch. No DLC for Arceus, but here? The sky’s the limit. Picture it: we’re in Lumiose City, sun’s shining, and boom, more Mega Evolutions drop like it’s nobody’s business. Think Omega Ruby vibes but cranked up to eleven. I’m crossing my fingers for more classic Pokémon getting the Mega touch, like Slowking or Butterfree. Even Mew! Gosh, if that happens, mark my words, it’ll be epic. Or maybe it’s just me daydreaming. Anyway, stay tuned.
