澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Pokemon Company has just spilled all the juicy details on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Legends Z-A, an open-world take on Pokemon X and Y's Lumiose City, an🐲d its trio of starters certainly lean on Generation 2 much more than I was expecting.

With the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Legends Z-A starters now confirmed, we know that newbie trainers will be able to pick between the small Grass-type dino Chikorita, the plump Fire-type Tepig, and the adorable Water-type Totodile as starters, as seen in the game's new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Presents trailer.

They definitely caught me off guard since Chikorita and Totodile come from the same Generat𒅌ion 2 games, Pokemon Gold and Silver, and theꦓir Gen 2 sibling Cyndaquil also headlined the last Legends game. (Someone at The Pokemon Company clearly has good taste.)

Whoever you decide ♓to partner up with, it seems your in-game rival and frenemy will pick a starter that's weak against yours, based on the trailer. So, if you make the correct decision and choose Chikorita, your rival will very kindly put t𓄧hemselves at a disadvantage and pick Totodile.

Starters from Generation 6, Pokemon X and Y, areꦗ nowhere to be seen in the upcoming game's newest trailer, but that doesn't mean Chespin, Froakie, and Fennekin won't show up eventually. Pokemon Legends: Arceus hid away starter 'mons from the generation it was inspired by, so there's no reason why the Kalos region's beloved mascots won't rear their heads here, too.

Pokemon Legends Z-A was also re-confirmed to come to Nintendo Switch sometime later th📖is year, with Mega Evolutions happily returning. Hopefully, our start🃏ing trio will get some epic new forms, too♍.

Elsewhere in today's livestream, we got our first look at a PvP ✨multiplayer battler coming to Switch and mobile, new updates for sp💜in-offs like Pokemon Unite and TCG, and much more.
