My only concern about Porygon-Z being revealed is that it could have been the player character's Pokémon.

Every mainline Pokémon game prior to the Nintendo 3DS entries were just a graphical evolution of the sprite-work design of the original Red and Green. X and Y were arguably the first games to truly implement an art style in the definitive sense.

He's more than likely going to be using her Platinum team because Togekiss has appeared in Cynthia's roster for Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon Black/White and Pokemon Black 2/White 2. Contests were in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

They're likely to release it alongside Breath of the Wild 2.

That is true, I suppose we'll wait and see. My bare minimum expectation is the Platinum Pokédex.

The Pokémon Company can go completely left field and have Zacian and Zamazenta, Toxicitry or Sirfetchd. We can't narrow it down to Cinderace just because he's the favourable starter Pokémon.

Galarian Meowth and Yamask were branched evolutions but Galarian Mr. Mime is not. There's no reason to add Mr. Rime to the Sinnoh Pokédex. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokémon that were added to the Johto Pokédex were the ones that evolved via moves. The Kanto and Johto Pokémon that evolved...

Pansage, Pansear and Panpour were not in the Sword and Shield Pokédex, maybe they can get a regional Psychic, Dark and Fighting form in this game?

Hmm... maybe the 2022 release is being done on purpose to coincide with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3?

Looks like Cynthia is going to be slightly easier unless her Spiritomb and Garchomp have Poison/Steel moves to counter Fairy types.

That's what we want but seeing as Junichi Masuda is returning to direct and he wasn't involved with Pokémon Platinum, I'm genuinely concerned.

Regional variants are arguably the most favourable modern addition added to the Pokémon series, it brings new life into pre-existing Pokémon. Sun and Moon introduced the concept whilst Sword and Shield had regional variants of Pokémon gain new evolutions. With Brilliant Diamond and Shining...

An issue which was fixed in Platinum. In fact, Platinum's Elite Four roster made fundamental changes to the team like Aaron replacing Dustox and Beautifly with Yanmega and Scizor and Lucian having Espeon and Gallade instead of Girafarig. The Pokémon company is marketing these games as "faithful...

Why not? Ash-Greninja was a new form that had minor changes to the original design but it came with major stat buffs.

The Elite Four are going to be using their Platinum Pokemon roster because there's absolutely no way that they'll make Flint a Fire-type Elite 4 member with only two Fire-types again.

Well, there we go. Looks like the starter choices are completely intentional.

Just like the title says, do you think these three starters will get a special form like a Mega Evolution or an Ash-Greninja like form? I believe they will.

That could be a misdirect just to show that the National Dex content is still available... then again, Houndour/Houndoom are not in Sword and Shield.

I'm going to be as faithful as possible to my original Diamond team for Brilliant Diamond. Empoleon Staraptor Luxray Roserade Rapidash Blissey
