Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Rumored Suicune Form Could Hint at Pokemon Legends Johto

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's third trailer was a great way for The Pokemon Company to promote Gen 9 games, revealing enough about their features to entice players without revealing too much about new Pokemon and forms. According to alleged leaks, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will feature Paradox Pokemon, which are critters from other generations that are capable of traveling through time to appear in the present Paldea region. These Pokemon allegedly come with ancient or future forms that change their appearance and possibly the way they can be used in battle, essentially acting like regional forms.

According to one leaker who talked about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's expected Pokedex size, there will be a total of 16 Paradox Pokemon in the base game, likely split into two groups of eight that also become version exclusives. However, another leaker states two Paradox Pokemon were cut from the base game, and could instead be added through DLC for Gen 9: Suicune and Virizion. If Suicune ends up getting a past form in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this could hint at a Pokemon Legends game set in the Johto region.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Leaked Fire-Type Monsters Are a Great Concept

Since Pokemon Legends: Arceus came out and more fans got to experience it, players have been vocal about their interest in a series that explores the past of some regions outside Sinnoh and Hisui. Two main suggestions include a Gen 5 Pokemon Legends game that delves deeper into the myths of the Original Dragon that once were Zekrom and Reshiram, as well as a game set in Johto. A Johto Pokemon Legends game could cover the events that precede the Burned Tower's fire, or maybe explore the lore surrounding Celebi.
