[Legends: Arceus] You think these new games will introduce any new creatures?

I don't think it's entirely out of the question, as mid-gen introductions are a thing they've been doing since Gen III, with entirely new Pokemon from a dex standpoint from Gen VI, so we might see some new Legendary that Arceus created around then or something. I expect it'd be more than one though, and tbh I'm expecting a different form for Arceus more than I am something entirely new.
 
There's more than likely going to be no new Pokémon.

After all, it is Sinnoh just at an earlier point in time.
It'd be unusual to make new Pokémon that are then not around during D/P
 
Probably not. It's Game Freak, making a kind of game they've not made before, expectations for certain things need to be kept low.

From a lore standpoint it wouldn't be weird to see "new" Pokemon or new forms though. While we don't know exactly how long ago L:A takes place, it's likely long enough ago that it would be possible to see Pokemon or forms of certain Pokemon that were only around at that time in Sinnoh and went extinct or changed into a new form or moved elsewhere by the time of modern Sinnoh in DPPt.
 
I'm kinda excited for the game, but not expecting much because it's Game Freak.

All I'm expecting is a huge map with a great variety of Pokémon(even in Sinnoh) and maybe some nice tasks to keep completing.

Would be pretty nice a good story around Arceus.

We had Meltan and Melmetal revealed sing Pokémon Go and Let's Go compatibility, so, I guess even not huge chance, could happen.

While I do agree that we probably won't see any new pokemon, I think they could easily make it work to have a new pokemon native to Sinnoh.
With the release of BDSP they've got a free pass to rewrite/add in new elements to sinnoh, so they could easily have a new ancient event pokemon in Legends and then have a small event in BDSP where the focus is that a super old pokemon has been discovered
 
I doubt we'll get brand new ones because hey, game set in the past. Maybe give me like, unfossilized versions of fossil Pokemon or something.

Shh I know it's not set millions of years ago so that wouldn't really make sense
 
It could be a good time to introduce some more fossils. It's not impossible for pokemon to have gone extinct between this game and current times!

Yeah basically this. However, clearly they're into the idea of having pokemon there that don't live in contemporary Sinnoh at least :) With everything that's new and different with this title I honestly feel like we don't need new pokemon in it.

That being said... You know how they love to introduce seemingly random new legendariea or pseudo legendaries... Can they resist that cash grab? Lore be damned.
 
Direct spoilers.

What did I say hehe. The Hisui region got some awesome new evos! The new forms of existing pokemon looked pretty cute too c:
