Pokemon Legends: Arceushas been a specialPokemongame in many ways, from its historical setting to its new way of battling and catching Pokemon. Due to its popularity and title, fans are beginning to wonder ifPokemon Legends:Arceusis just the beginning of a possible series ofPokemon Legendsgames. If so, fans have a lot to be excited about for the future, as it’s possible that more regions from the far past will be explored and that means more ancestor characters.
One of the delightful parts ofPokemon Legends: Arceus, is that fans could recognize character ancestors. Examples include Commander Kamado’s resemblance of Professor Rowan and Captain Cyllene’s to Boss Cyrus. Many of the ancestors were related to characters fromPokemon: DiamondandPearlsince they are in the ancient version of Sinnoh. If there are to be futurePokemon Legendsgames, then there are plenty of character ancestors fans would love to see.

Red And Blue’s Ancestors
Red and Blue are the protagonist and rival that began the entirePokemonseries. They are the ones that eventually spawned Ash and Gary of thePokemonanime, and have appeared in plenty of other media such asPokemon Origins, Pokemon Generations, andPokemon Adventures.They have been in plenty of games other than the first, appearing inPokemon Gold, Silver, andCrystal,HeartgoldandSousliver,BlackandWhite 2, andSun and Moon.
To see Red and Blue’s ancestors would be amazing, especially since fanshave known these characters since the early 90s. If aPokemon Legendsgame explores ancient Kanto, Blue and Red’s ancestors are a must-see. Could their ancestors also be rivals? Would they have the same Pokemon, like Pikachu and Raticate? There is a lot that could be interesting to see.
More Villain Ancestors
Villains are among the most interesting characters in thePokemonseries.Pokemon Legends: Arceusalready showed a good few ancestors of villains from Team Galactic in Sinnoh. However, Team Galactic is known as one of the least memorablePokemonvillains. Future Pokemon Legends games can show ancestors of far more interesting and memorable villains such as Giovanni, Lusamine, Guzma, Max, and Archie. Seeing what the developers can do with their designs set in an ancient region would be a lot of fun. As shown inPokmeon Legends: Arceus, the ancestors also do not necessarily have to also be villains.
Even major villain characters that are more famous in the anime, like Jessie and James, can have ancestors in anotherPokemon Legendsgame. After all, Jessie and James both have appeared in games likePokemon YellowandPokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee. Another character, who can technically be called a villain (for part of the game) is N. In theBlackandWhitegames, N is a major fan favorite character. Seeing his ancestor would certainly get fans excited.

More Elite Four And Gym Leader Ancestors
Over the course of many generations,Pokemonas a vast line of Gym Leader andElite Four trainersthey can play with. Of course, some are considered far more memorable and interesting than others. Misty and Brock from the first generation would be an especially popular choice due to their nostalgic value and roles in the anime. Anyone from the first generation would be a good choice, as they have been in a lot of games. This includes Koga, Erika, Sabrina, Erika, and Blaine.
There are alsoGym Leaderand Elite Four members that are popular due to their memorable designs, such as Opal, Valerie, Skyla, Winona, Wallace, Fantina, Elesa, Sauntal, Acerola, Roxie, Leon, Iris, Piers, and Drayden. Memorable designs would go a long way for players to recognize ancestors. For example, Piers' ancestor could easily be identified by the hair and Opal by clothes. Not only that, but their ancestors can be connected in some way to the Pokemon type the Gym Leaders and Elite Four specialize in.
More Pokemon Professors
Along with villains and leaders,Pokemongames always have their professors. Some were far more popular than others. Oak would be a good choice due to his fame and nostalgia. Kukui, on the other hand, is a professor many love because he wears a lab coat with no shirt like a true professional. Female professors are also well-loved, like Sonia fromSwordandShieldandJuniper fromthe Unova region.
With there being just one professor per region (usually), they are all pretty memorable characters. It would be interesting to see if their ancestors were also very curious about Pokemon. It would also be fun is their ancestors were very different people, perhaps even being villains.
AZ And His Family
AZ is a special case, as he is over three thousand years old. He could be the one character inaPokemon Legendsgameis not an ancestor, but a younger version of himself. He is one of the most interesting characters of the series, but got very little attention despite his unique backstory of being thousands of years old and creating the ultimate weapon during a war between two nations. If there is ever aPokemon Legendsgame set in historical Kalos, it could be during that war with AZ’s younger self.
The man would look pretty different, as his most memorable aspect, his height, was actually because of his exposure to the ultimate weapon. Fans could also meet his brother, who apparently buried the ultimate weapon. His mother was also notable for giving him hisprecious Floette, but fans never got to meet her since she was alive only thousands of years ago.
There is a ton of content the history of Kalos and AZ can dive into for a futurePokemon Legendsgame. This is especially true knowing that there are multiple universes inPokemon. So players changing the course of history is no worry. They could in fact stop AZ from using the ultimate weapon in the first place.Of course, this would all happen while also meeting ancestors of Kalos characters such as the ancestor for Korrina, Lysandre, and Sycamore.
