Assuming Emboar, Meganium, and Feraligatr received regional forms, what do you think they’d be?
I love all three of these guys, so I’m genuinely really happy to see them getting some love nowadays.
That being said, I can understand why some people are bit annoyed with it, since other starters could have made a better fit for the French theme of Kalos (I.E Snivy & Piplup), and getting two starters from the same region is definitely an interesting choice, but again I’m happy and I think people should give them a chance before writing them off as terrible options.
Since the reveal though, I’ve been speculating on what types would be cool for their final evolutions if they were regional forms, and the ones I think would be the most interesting/likely are:
————————————————————————————
Meganium
Grass/Fairy - Trailer shows that she now can learn Disarming Voice. (In my mind, this is essentially confirmed. I also genuinely can’t think of any other typings that would really fit Meganium other than maybe Grass/Psychic???)
————————————————————————————
Emboar
Fire/Flying - Reference to the term “When pigs fly”, a joke often used when talking about unrealistic change / the evolution of a society, which would be fitting for the futuristic theme of this legends game. (Got this idea from another post on Reddit, so credits to whoever suggested this)
Or
Fire/Steel - Represents the major advances of technology in Kalos, and would fit with Meganium being a Grass/Fairy type since Emboar would be able to deal super effective damage against both of Meganium’s types.
————————————————————————————
Feraligatr
Water/Dark - I’m kinda hoping that it’s not this since it would mean that we’ve had 3 Water/Dark starters, but it would fit really well with the other Johto Regional forms (Grass/Fairy for Meganium, Water/Dark for Feraligatr, Fire/Ghost for Typhlosion)
Or
Water/Poison - Represents the catacombs and sewer system underneath Lumiose City. I also have a personal theory that the major advances in technology in Lumiose could possibly involve higher pollution in Pokémon habitats across Kalos, which is why the city has began to create wild areas for Pokémon to build new homes.

What do you think would be cool typings for the starters if they get regional forms in the end?
Also, Sorry for the word vomit, I’m just really excited for this game :)
