Leaked Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Z-A Might Transform Starter Traditions

Sure thing, here’s a human-like rewrite of your article:

So, here’s the deal — if these rumors about “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” and its starter Pokemon getting new Mega Evolutions are true, we’re talking about a total shakeup. Like, hello chaos, goodbye tradition. Which is kinda what makes it exciting, right? Well, during the big reveal, it was like, “Hey, Mega Evolutions are back!” But then they left us hanging about which ones would make the cut. And now with some supposed leak floating around, there are even more questions. Game Freak seems to be toying with us.

Now, think about this — Legends: Z-A is pulling a mix from different gens. We’re getting Chikorita, Totodile, and surprise, surprise, Tepig. Unlike previous games, though, this one seems to ditch regional variants. It looks like Mega Evolutions are taking the spotlight instead. I mean, kind of a gutsy move to mess with something everyone loves (or pretends to love) — the classic formula of whoever started with what. Instead of cute little variant spins.

Remember how Mega Evolutions started back with Gen 6 in X and Y, and then showed up again like an encore in the Gen 3 remakes? They kept things in check. I mean, for the most part. Mega Blaziken was the lone wolf for a bit until Gen 3 others got their Mega moment. And let’s not even start on duos like Scizor and Steelix or the whole Gardevoir and Gallade gender situation.

But these leaks — who knows, honestly — are stirring the pot. They’re hinting that Legends: Z-A could be adding Mega Evolutions for both its new trio and Gen 6 starters. A win for Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja. But wait, not so much for the others like Emboar, Feraligatr, and Meganium. It’s like a new kids versus old favorite scenario.

After Arceus, which was a whole different ball game with its own regional variants, Legends: Z-A might end up going its own way. Maybe sticking to its trio to avoid setting off the balance again. But who knows if Legends: Z-A will stick to just the trios for its Megas. Could they break from the pack and go big with DLC expansions like Sword and Shield did? The potential is there. Maybe one day we’ll see some underdogs like Slowking, Butterfree, or even Mew joining the Mega Evolution party.

And… there it is — a whirlwind of what-ifs and maybes. But isn’t that the whole fun of leaks? You never quite know where they’ll take you. Anyway — wait, was that supposed to wrap up like that? Whatever.
