No matter how much the Pokemon series progresses, we can't forget our first experiences and the first starters we chose. For many of us, our first Pokémon was one of the Kanto starters, and this Pokémon Pokemon Legends: ZA.
The downside is that you can only get one of the Kanto starters unless you find a trading partner willing to part with your precious 'mon. If you're not sure what to choose, here's all the information you need.
How to get the Kanto Starter
After defeating Rida As part of the eighth main mission, you will receive a call from Mable. New side mission 'A Call from Mable'. travel Pokémon Research Center located south of Lumiose City. And then head to the director's office.
There, your three Kanto starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) will happily await you. This side mission is simple: Please select one.
At the time of writing, there appears to be no other way to obtain Kanto starters in-game other than trading. This may change as DLC is released, so we will update this article as needed in the future.
