What Pokémon Diamond and Pearl episode is This from?

For once i do something like this lmao. With a new legends game, I will talk about my theories yippee. First things first, the starters. I do believe they’re gonna be Snivy, Piplup, and Scorbunny. Why? I’ll explain that.

Empoleon’s name does have some French origins, so I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the starter. Plus it was the most popular sinnoh starter, assuming GameFreak is going by popularity and origins.

Serperior is a regal Pokémon who’s design has some similarities to French royality. It is also based off of the Rose of Versailles according to its origin section and the creator.

”Serperior is based on the French royalty, with Lady Oscar from The Rose of Versailles serving as inspiration.”

Scorbunny is a bit of a stretch, but soccer (scorbunny’s man thing) is popular in France. It’s actually called football. Watch us get a mega or regional form of Cinderace where it’s playing football.

Now time for “is it set in past or future?” I think it’s set in the past, cause to me the trailer looks like it’s showing the blueprints, and how everything is gonna look, hence everything looking futuristic. “Why is there a big tower?” Well, maybe the game is set when we’re trying to build the Lumiose tower.

Uh this next part is gonna mention death and violence. Might be unneeded, but hey I’ll add it just in case

Another neat thing i’d LOVE to see, is a Pokémon thing related to the beast of Gévaudan, which is an oversized wolf that killed and ate many people. Maybe something new with Houndoom, Mightyena,(assuming it’s in Kalos-) Delphox, Zoroark, or Ninetales? Or Furfrou?

Another neat thing, would be say, you’re working for an ancient team flare, and you unknowingly help their plans to make the ultimate weapon. Maybe AZ appearance??? Or maybe AZ, a Lysandre ancestor, or both manipulate you into helping them do their dirty work, and they make you think you’re doing good. Those who question this are severely punished.

So kind of like a combination of Volo, Galaxy team, (you get exiled. Than again, plasma may work better) and the fact that you work for an evil team unknowingly in Pokémon colosseum.

Anyways, that’s all for now

Main characters of a story I haven't worked on in a while
