I'm really excited to explore ancient Sinnoh. What we saw in the trailer looked so vast and different from what we normally get with routes and more akin to an expanded Wild Area. Having a game set in the past is such a cool concept already, but using Sinnoh for the setting is really the perfect choice. There are so many Legendary Pokemon within that region, especially with the focus on time, space and creation with Dialga, Palkia and Arceus respectively, so focusing on the region's past makes a lot of sense. Getting a chance to expand on the Sinnoh lore and give proper focus to Arceus is pretty great too.
I'm curious what we can do besides creating the first Pokedex. That is a cool premise to start off the game with, but I assume that there will be more to do during the storyline. I don't think that we'll take part in ancient Gym battles, although getting to see how Gyms came to be could be really cool, but I wonder what else we can do and if there are other bigger objectives than the creating the first Sinnoh Pokedex.
I'm really happy about the starter choices too. They're some of my favorites and all three of them will get a boost in popular due to be associated with Legends. But I'm especially happy that Cyndaquil is among the three starters. My first Pokemon game was Silver and Cyndaquil was my first Pokemon, so I do have a strong attachment to it. Cyndaquil always felt so underappreciated among most of the other Fire starters, so seeing it get more love after all these years after Legends was announced made me really happy. I'd still be thrilled even if they somehow chose another Fire starter or if I didn't have that attachment to Cyndaquil. There is a good possibility that I'll use another save file to choose Oshawott as my starter or see if it will be possible to get it later on in the game to have both on my team, but being able to start a journey in a new experimental Pokemon game with the first Pokemon I chose back in Silver makes me incredibly happy on a personal level.
