Got a lot of ideas for returning Pokémon. So here are my guesses along some comments. With so many Pokémon now I placed them in spoiler tabs. Pokémon that we already know that are returning won't be included.
- Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle: Look they're gonna be here ok. They came back to Kalos with Mega's. Charizard was a ride Pokemon in Alola. And they returned in Galar, well at first Charizard, so it's going to happen again
- Weedle line: It hasn't showed in a regional dex for a while
- Sandshrew line: There are shrews in Spain
- Nidos: There are royals in Spain
- Cleffa line: Just fine here
- Vulpix line: Also fine
- Zubat line: Moving on...
- Oddish line: Fits well
- Paras line: Noticed that fruits seem to be a easter egg in trailer. I know mushrooms are not fruit but I think mushrooms will do nicely
- Venonat line: Someone suggested Venonat and I think its a valid choice
- Diglett line: I can work in a open-world game just nicely
- Tentacool line: Almost got stunned by a jellyfish while on holiday in Mallorca (one of the Spanish islands) so
- Growlithe line: Hisuian Growlithe should be here too
- Poliwag line: Suitable for Spain
- Gastly line: Hope you don't hate encountering Gastly at night in Legends Arceus
- Staryu line: Just fits well with Spain
- Scyther line: Kleavor should be in too
- Tauros: Bulls are the national animal of Spain so this is a no-brainer
- Magikarp: Every game except Unova, I think
- Lapras: I just want to ride on Lapras again
- Ditto: Breeding machine
- Eevee line: Secondary mascot of course its here
- Dratini line: I know there was a Dratini fountain in the trailer but there have been instances were Pokémon shaped objects appeared but the Pokémon itself didn't. I'm looking at you Fletchling weather vane
- Sentret line: I get boy and girl scout vibes from the games protagonists so why not have the Scout Pokémon
- Hoothoot line: Can we please have a regional variant of this line already Game Freak?
- Ledyba and Spinarak lines: Fit well with Spain. Probably
- Mareep line: I just see it returning after seeing the windmills
- Azurill line: Marill is another perfectly fine Pokemon for the region
- Sunkern line: In a warm country such as Spain Sunkern would be a good fit
- Murkow and Misdreavus lines: Another good set of nighttime Pokémon for the game
- Pineco line: Apparently pinecones are a thing in Spain
- Qwilfish: Another Legends Arceus import
- Heracross: Appeared in every region since its debut
- Sneasel line(s): Same as Qwilfish
- Teddiursa line: Spain have brown bears
- Stantler: Same as Qwilfish and Sneasel
- Smeargle: Fits well
- Miltank: Tauros' counterpart
- Raikou/Entei/Suicune: I can see these guys getting regional variants this time around
- Poochyena line: Wildcard nothing special
- Shroomish line: Similar to what I said about Paras
- Makuhita line: Another wildcard
- Volbeat and Illumise: Perfect nighttime Pokemon for the game
- Budew line: Fits well with Spain
- Wailmer line: In many ways this is essentially Wingull's bud
- Torkoal: I can see it work
- Spoink line: Fits well
- Trapinch line: Call that desert your home Trapinch
- Zangoose: When there's a Seviper there's bound to be a Zangoose
- Corphish line: I know we have Clauncher but still
- Feebas line: Milotic would look even more beautiful in this game
- Keckleon: Chameleon's are in Spain

- Beldum line: If I had to pick one Hoenn pseudo-legendary I would go with this one

- Finneon line: Should be good in the water
- Rotom: This Pokémon is going to be a staple going forward
- Snivy/Tepig/Oshawott: Oshawott came back in Legends Arceus but the other 2 still need to. Serperior also has European inspriation
- Elemental monkeys: Wrong about them in Galar, this time for sure here

- Maractus: Spanish cactus
- Dwebble line: Wildcard

- Joltik line: Can work in Spain
- Ferroseed line: Alternative to Pineco
