Changing Event Pokémon?

[Broken Elegance]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so apologies if this doesn't belong here. But.... I always thought that the event pokémon, like the Stufful/Snubbull, Minccino/Espurr, and so on, were set upon the creation of your game. I accidentally grabbled the wrong starter, but since I saved in the starter room, I decided to go with it so I could see what my early events were first.

 

I had the Espurr, Stufful and Pachirisu. So, knowing this, I reloaded my save, to correct my starter choice. Upon exiting the Grand Hall, my event Pokémon had changed to Snubbull, Minccino, and Zigzagoon. What would have caused this change? Was there some kind of update to how the event Pokémon work?

The Pokémon aren't decided when the save file is created, but rather right after you battle Cain and Victoria for the first time in the Grand Hall. So if you save after you pick your starter you could just reset to change them as much as you want.

Was it always like that?? Wild. Thanks for the explanation~!

I can't say for certain if it always has, but it has been since E18 which is when I started playing. And any time!
