The starting Pokemon types are all new. But every Pokemon found in the wild are either an evolutionary stage or pre-evolutionary stage to existing Pokemon from a previous game. No wild Pokemon would be from a previous game. But the legendary Pokemon will be completely new.

Also mega evolutions would mark the final step in that Pokemons evolution. Pikachu cant have a mega evolved form because it can evolve into Raichu. Mawile can only have pre-evolved forms because it has a mega evolved form.

Thats my idea anyway. I get more of a kick seeing new pre-evolved and evolved forms of familiar Pokemon than seeing completely new designs.
