They're brought from a traveler. A major running theme of old Japanese stories is "a foreigner comes, which initiates the plot". It fits perfectly, fuck-o

Think logically for a moment.

Starters are almost never found in the wild.
Many even think thay are brought from far places.
Professors had to choose them to give them to new players.

That doesn't make sense at all since it would imply the Kanto and Johto starters should have been other mons.

Quoted By:

Depends on when it's actually set, and variations on real-world history vs Pokemon history. Like, I doubt it's set in the 1600's, given the "long ago" but it's not impossible. It could be set 3000 years ago, like so much other shit in Pokemon is, but given AZ made it from France to Japan in some universes (although we don't know when he did that in the 3000 years), it's not unreasonable. Interestingly, given most starter Pokemon don't seem to be native to their region, that does raise some questions. Of course, we see Piplup is implied to be Sinnoh native in the trailer, but still. There's more questions than answers, but I expected them to just use the Kanto starters for no reason so whatever.

I think Alola is the only one where the starters are confirmed to actually be native to the region. They never really mention where the others got plucked from. (but I guess the Unova starters are implied to be imported, given their motif)

There's some concept art of an "HM" where you use a Pokemon like the paraglider in Breath of the Wild, so probably.
