Surely can't be a coincidence. You guys think they're gonna get something special? New form? Unique item? New move(s)?

New evolutions are the most likely since we know at least Stantler is getting one.

>make a Pokémon game based on ancient Japan
>Pick a Pokémon that currently evolves into a samurai
>Have it evolve into something else.

That makes no sense even by Game Greak logic, absolute best case scenario would be new moves and abilities.

As a mono water it's only weaknesses are grass and electric
As a mono fire it's only weaknesses are rock,ground and water
As a mono grass it's weaknesses are ice,fire,bug, poison
As a ghost grass it's a weaknesses are dark,fairy,ghost on top of the other four making a total of seven weaknesses

Not only that all three of them have rather lacking movepool advantage and decent stats as well the safest pick would be Oshawott the worst pick would be Rowlett with the second worst being Cyndaquil

Looks more like a Sawsbuck to me and the fact they said we'd see pokémon that didn't live in modern Sinnoh and not infer there were actual new ones in it, I doubt they're going to spluff away a new design for an end-of-term project.

Particularly as the antlres more closely resembe Spring Form's horns than they ever do Stantler, but dexcucks been coping since one of the early episodes of Journeys had Goh catch a Stantler, then ignore the cunt since.

cause their evolutions have shit to do with ancient times, an archer, a samurai and Typhlosions names has something to do with some war lord or some shit.
I love the Cynda line but personally I feel like its the odd one out, Blaziken wouldve fit more

It also could just be line art not meant to deplict a specific pokemon at the moment, they might be considering being able to interact with certain pokemon in the field, you probably can't even catch them all as this is an era before PCs

I believe the military connection more readily than the weapons meme, particularly as all three ALSO have significance in Ainu culture (the indigenous people of the Hokkaidō region) and just knowing basic history of the place, the symbolism of the foreign professor bringing these three to the region being a reference to the Japanese colonising the region stands out more.

This is common, Majora's mask was almost 100% reproduced fro OoT assets and plenty other games do similar across iterations, let alone within the same/concurrent dev periods.
Or do you not PLAY any other video games enough to see that in others?

No, we don't "know" that. We saw something in a shitty screengrab that could be related to Stantler, but to go out and say it's a sure thing is absolutely mental.

They’ll make the final evolution a Water/Fighting samurai as well but it’ll be even more obvious, since they love making pokemon look like their job/theme now.

I have a hard time seeing a hard stat buff because... well they're starters. I guess there's a chance they might get small stat realignments, but that's not flashy and marketable.

There's actually a very lore-friendly reason for it.

The Hokkaido Development Commission was a joint effort with several Americans and Dutchmen joining in with people from Osaka.

In this case, the professor came from Unova, stopped in Alola, then Johto (NYC -> Hawaii -> Osaka) and then went up to help with the Sinnoh Development Commission, bringing in three starter mons from the journey to get there.

Them fitting in with the region/time period nicely is also a big plus for their choice.

I agree, it's almost guarantee that they will NOT have new stats.If Starters were allowed to change stats, Charizard would have been min-maxed to hell and back.
However, expanded movepools are pretty much certain, meaning Typhlosion could actually win big here since having only one move is it's major flaw.

Yeah, new moves exclusively obtainable in Legends. That would get the more competitive fanbase to turn out for this title. Same incentive the third versions have for including move tutors.
Would be cool if they got actual new signature moves though.

That sounds interesting. Maybe their new signature moves could be based on dex entries.

Typhlosion's says it obscures itself with heat shimmers
Samurott's says that it can intimidate foes with a simple glare
Decidueye's says that its tugs its vines to improves its focus (probably closing its hood).

(hopefully their movepools would be expanded in general).
