    To start the Speculation, a generation legendary ALWAYS foreshadows what the theme of the Next generation will be, Generation 1 ha the Legendary Birds, wich had a Lore-Conection to Generation 2 Birds, The Legendary Beasts Trio related to the climate in Hoenn, the Regis are all about creations and the formation of the Pokemon World, the Sinnoh trio was all about human perception of the world, and well, genenration 5 trio are Musketeers NOW Let's talk about Kalos Legendary trio
    The strange souvenir looks like a Tiki Toten, a reference to the French Polynesian Idols made by local natives
    Hoopa is really easy to relate with a Vodou Doll, and in popular culture, Vodou is all about pranks and Mischief, it's really easy to associate it with Hoopa's Personality, it was praticed in Haiti, wich was a French colony.
    Volcanion is based on Underwater Volcanos, this kind of formations are common in the carribean seas and in the Polynesian seas as well.
    The harest one to relate is Diancie, wich is related to diamonds, there's huge diamond extraction in Africa, continent wich France had several colonies.
    That's really all i could get, so, what do you think guys, this make some sense or is this total BS?

    The big problem is that they they haven't been confirmed as a trio at all. In fact, only Diancie has been confirmed as existing by game freak. If they were a trio, they'd all be released at the same time, or at the very least confirmed to exist at the same time if they were a trio, but it very much seems like they are completely unrelated legendaries.

    Diancie is Rock and Fairy, is a mutation of a Carbink, and its signature move is Diamond Storm
    Hoopa is Ghost and Psychic, it steals things and sends them to a faraway dimension and it's Signature move is Hyperspace Hole
    Volcanion is Fire and Water, it lives in the mountains where humans don't live and it's signature move is Steam Eruption.

    There's absolutely no obvious connection between the 3 in any way. They very well could just be 3 totally unrelated legendaries. Diancie gets released almost a year after teh release of X and Y, Hoopa or Volcanion (likely Volcanion as it's more weather related to fit in with the Hoenn legendaries) likely gets released almost a year after teh release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and the final one could get released almost a year after the release of Pokemon Z. In any case, there's no indication that they are a trio at all or related to each other in any way shape or form. (the birds were all birds, the beasts were all found the same way as each other and have similar shapes, the Regis all had teh same first part of their name, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf were all found in simalr ways and also have similar shapes to each other, Landorus, Thundurus and Tornadus have similar shapes and last part of their names, as do the Musketeer trio (although technically they're a quartet as Keldeo is part of that) but the point is, all the trios had something that made them obviously a trio, Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion have no visible, apparent or even implied relation to each other, not even via their typing. It's very unlikely they're a trio at all, they're more like the Victini, Meloetta and Genesect of the current generation.
     
    I think that your connections are a bit of a stretch and a bit flawed, but it's interesting to talk about anyway. As for the issues with your connections:

    -The connection between the Kanto Bird trio and Lugia/Ho-oh is only present in the anime (specifically the 2nd Pokemon movie). There's nothing in the games themselves connecting them.
    -The Johto beast trio isn't connected to Hoenn's climate at all. They don't even symbolize anything. They're basically just beast versions of the Kanto bird trio.
    -Jumping from the Regi trio to the Sinnoh Lake trio doesn't make sense. It'd make more sense (to me anyway) to jump from the creation of the planet (through the weather trio and Regigigas) to the creation of the universe (through the Creation Trio and Arceus)

    However, you could make the jump between the Sinnoh lake trio and the Musketeers and the Tao Trio of Unova. The lake trio symbolizes 3 aspects of humanity: willpower, intelligence, and emotion. The things that the Musketeer and Tao trios represent (justice, ideals, and truth, among other things) could be born from what the lake trio represents.

    I don't really see any connection between the Gen 5 and Gen 6 legendaries though.

    But what I find most interesting about your idea is the bit about Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion. Like Howander said, there's no real connection between the 3 of them; they're basically the Arceus/Darkrai/Shaymin of X/Y. But I do wonder if perhaps they mean that the next Pokemon region is to based off of Africa in some way?

    Like you said, Hoopa seems to be based off of mischief and voodoo, which, iirc, is a practice that began centuries ago by African slaves brought from Africa to the American colonies. And also like you said, Diancie is based off of diamonds, and Africa is one of the biggest places for diamond mining.
    Volcanion I always thought was related to geothermal power (which is related to volcanic activity), but you could be right and it represents undersea volcanoes as well. There's the Canary Islands just off the coast of western Africa, and those are a series of volcanoes that originate on the ocean floor. The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the eastern part of Africa is actually a young (geologically speaking) rift basin.

    And there's the fact that France (Kalos) had colonies in Africa, like you also mentioned. So while Dianice, Hoopa, and Volcanion aren't related to each other in the same way that the Tao Trio or the Lake Trio is, they all seem to point to Africa in some way. Maybe.
