Cyndaquil’s Absence in Legends: Z-A Sparks Fan Theories
Pokémon fans are buzzing with theories after the recent reveal of *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*. The game’s starter lineup—Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile—has sparked curiosity, especially since Cyndaquil, the fire-type from Gen II, is missing. While there are plausible reasons for its absence, the internet has latched onto a hilarious conspiracy theory tied to some smutty folklore. Let’s dive into the details and see why Cyndaquil’s exclusion has fans talking.
Why Isn’t Cyndaquil in Legends: Z-A?
The starters for *Legends: Z-A* include two Gen II Pokémon, Chikorita and Totodile, but Cyndaquil is nowhere to be found. This has left fans scratching their heads, especially since Cyndaquil was a starter in *Legends: Arceus*. The most logical explanation is that Game Freak didn’t want to reuse the same starter in the same subseries.
However, fans have come up with a more entertaining theory. It all stems from a leaked folklore-style story about Typhlosion, Cyndaquil’s final evolution, transforming into a human and impregnating a woman. This bizarre tale has become a running joke in the Pokémon community, and some believe it’s the reason Cyndaquil was left out of *Legends: Z-A*.
The Smutty Folklore Behind the Theory
Last year, a massive leak from Game Freak included some wild stories about the Pokémon universe. One of these involved Typhlosion’s alleged scandalous behavior. While it’s unclear if these stories are canon, the internet has had a field day with them. Fans are now joking that Cyndaquil’s absence is due to “tarnished” reputation.
Of course, this theory is more for laughs than anything else. The real reason is likely simpler—Game Freak wanted to avoid repeating starters. But it’s hard not to chuckle at the idea of Cyndaquil being benched because of its final evolution’s questionable past.
Cyndaquil’s Recent Appearances
Despite its absence in *Legends: Z-A*, Cyndaquil hasn’t been completely forgotten. It got a brand-new Hisuian form in *Legends: Arceus*, which many fans consider even cooler than its original design. While it might not be a starter this time around, there’s still hope it’ll appear as an obtainable Pokémon in the game.
Whether you’re team Cyndaquil or just here for the memes, *Legends: Z-A* promises to bring plenty of excitement. Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to its release.
