I saw a rumour that they were going to release two sets of games with the first four generations on each (something like Red, Gold, Ruby and whatever the forth is). Had to laugh at how obviously fake that is as Game Freak would only do that if they could charge £200 for the game. -
Time for the meaty overview trailer: -

Can't believe this is tomorrow! Very excited for what we'll see from Legends Z-A Anyone got any hopes/thoughts/expectations for what they'll show from the game? Any thoughts on starters? For me, I'm really curious to see how the game holds up technically. Both Legends: Arceus and Scarlet & Violet were technically atrocious when they were first shown – surely with seemingly more time in the oven, this will have a stronger initial showing, technically? As for starters, I imagine Kalos starters are either going to be native to the area and just running around or handed to us at some point in the game. I can already imagine Froakie swimming through streams just outside the city with Frogadier jumping around the trees, while Fennekin and Chespin run around on ground level. But, like Legends: Arceus, I think our initial starters are going to be a good excuse to revisit previous starters and give them either final evolutions which are regional forms or, obviously much more likely here, Mega Evolutions (doing both would also be beat but very confusing, too, given this'll seemingly be modern day Kalos just like X & Y were). With that in mind, for me? • Gen I starters are off the table as they already have Mega Evos. • Gen II, Cyndaquil is off the table given we've got Hisuian Typhlosion from Legends: Arceus. • Gen III starters are off the table as they already have Mega Evos. • Gen IV is very firmly on the table as they didn't get anything across the remakes and Legends: Arceus – for shame! • Gen V, Oshawott is off the table because of Hisuian Samurott. • Gen VI starters have nothing (but I think they'll get Mega Evos and be captured elsewhere in the game/given as a gift, not a starter). • Gen VII, Rowlet is off the table because of Hisuian Decidueye. • Gen VIII are on the table because they don't have Mega Evos, BUT they did get Gigantamax forms in Sword & Shield's DLC, so I don't think we get them here. • Gen IX are a possibility but I can't quite see it happening myself – having a Pokémon turn up as a starter Pokémon two games in a row (outside of third/enhanced versions and sequels) would be a bit strange to me. It's weird though because Gen VIII and IX probably make the most sense geographically to make it into a game set in Pokémon Paris with what their regions are based on...but whatever, I'm taking them off the table! So that leaves me with what I think is a realistically narrowed down shortlist of Chikorita, Totodile, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Litten and Popplio. So, for the Grass-type, I'm thinking it's Snivy. That design just looks like it's based on royalty and kind of snooty. In my mind? That makes it super French. For the Water-type, I think it's the toughest one to decide of the options left from my shortlist. I'm going with Piplup purely because you have a Pokémon whose final evolution (Empoleon) has a name which draws from Napoleon, so, uh, yeah. At the same time, Mega Feraligatr would be cool as all heck and fits best in my mind with what I think Mega Evolution is about (Pokémon going berserk with newfound power), but Primarina (the Popplio line) would also make sense to me for how big ballet is in France. Lastly, the Fire-type...I really think it should be Torchic to be honest (just with how the rooster symbolically ties into France), but it's not on my shortlist, so I won't consider it! Incineroar is in Smash and a very popular final starter evo and so I'm thinking they go with that, not really sure what the connection would be...Aristocats? With starter speculation out of the way, not sure how many new Mega Evos we'd see here (if any), but I feel like Mega Sylveon is a nail-on, and Mega Dragonite and Mega Flygon better be on the table, too! Oh, also, I just hope we're having straight-up battles on the streets, kind of Yakuza style, in this
