What if it's all overlap... and the new starter evos are ghost, normal, and psychic.

Don't know about normal, but it would depend on which starter gets what. Besides, if the leak is anything to go by, Ghost, Dark and Fighting seem to be the secondary types here.

Considering that all the new pokemon in this game will likely be exclusively regional variants and evolutions, the sooner we get over the inital overlap the better.

Honestly pretty based they are doing that tbh, I mean I get starting a new generation with new Pokémon but I always wanted a Pokémon game to add as little entirely new Pokémon as possible and experiment with cross species and already existing Pokémon.

Ever noticed how this seems to be a trend for the past two or three generations?

Not really.

Gen 6: Delphos (Fire/Psychic), Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting) and Greninja (Water/Dark)

Gen 7: Incineroar (Fire/Dark), Decideye (Grass/Ghost) and Primerina (Water/Fairy)

Gen 8: All of the starters were monotype

Unless you meant for regional variants. The only typing that gets used the most there is Dark with Ghost only having two variants (not counting Runerigus for obvious reasons) and fighting having one.

So, Legends Arceus is in the "Riddle me this, Batman" phase of leaks.

These are apparently a series of japanese puns hinting at 12 incoming Pokemon, at the time it was sent. The guy in the middle of the top is one piece character Roronoa Zoro, which was taken as confirming this leak was real when Hisuian Zoroark was announced.

It's also worth noting the top left (The yokai Damona from Yokai Watch), the Buff girl and the moon moth were part of a preceding version of the leak, and are (apparently) based on the starters new hisuian evolutions. So we know who those three are, vaguely.

Community speculations are below.
So, let's start with the starters.
9: The moon moth is apparently a pun for Greninja, also known as Gekkouga (It's 'moonlight' and 'moth', and each word can write '月光 (げっこう, Gekkou)' and '蛾 (ガ, Ga)' in japanese.) As we know this is one of the starters, it's taken as a reference to typing, making this a Water/Dark type for Oshawott.

6: The buff girl is named "Little Bird", apparently, meaning this would likely apply to Rowlet, and make it a grass/fighting type.

1: By process of elimination, this means Damona, the Yokai/Spirit, is applying to Typhlosion, and likely it's form is based on a Yokai. Speculation is generally that it's a ghost type based on some well-known yokai.

For the rest, I'll go left to right and down the list.
2: We already know who Zoro is referencing.

3: The two cloudy hearts are believed to be referencing a new Mythical, which is a wild step to me. It's apparently an entirely new pokemon, so people stopped speculating there.

4: It's a Pokeball Pokemon. Do I need to tell you what it's likely a reference to?

5: Most people think this is the "Lady Noble" Pokemon Arezu is guarding. Apparently the character is Maki from Love Live, an idol-based japanese anime so speculation is all over the place - Jynx has been mentioned.

6: Already mentioned to be rowlet evo.

7: A cactuar from final fantasy here, also known as a Sabotender. Two speculations here. One, it's a cactus-themed Sudowoodo (as sabotender basically means Cactus pretender). The other is a pun based on the name of Cactuar's signature attack, Thousand Needles (Harisenbon), which is similar to Qwilfish's name as Harisen.

8: A steel type slug or slug-adjacent Pokemon - believed to be potentially Dunsparce.

9: As mentioned, it's Oshawott.

10: This is Project Habbakuk, a plan originally conceived by the brits to make an aircraft carrier from Ice. Avalugg's dex entry suggests it being 'an aircraft carrier made of ice' already. Others suspect it might be a mantine evolution.

11: This is from the manga Esper Mami, with the yokai in question being a kamaitachi - a "Sickle weasel" Yokai. Many thus suspect it to be related to Sneasel.

To expand on this a little further, some may remember a climbing silhouette leaked early on. Other leakers have claimed that is an evolution of sneasel, in which case I will actually ejaculate because I love sneasel and my biggest issue with it is that it's feather gets ruined by weavile.

12: Apparently this is an ursaring evolution. And it can be ridden. This was confirmed by a different leaker.

To elaborate on Ball Guy Leaks a little more, he's given us some concrete numbers:
7 new pokemon, 17 hisuian forms (unclear if there's overlap)
A line of pokemon will receive a regional form right from the baby stage - it is not Elekid, Magby, Riolu, Chingling, or Munchlax. It's worth noting that the evolved forms of Smoochum, Bonsly, and Mantyke have all been suggested from the riddler's images, and the only sinnoh pokemon not seen yet include Happiny (but Blissey has been seen) and Togekiss. (the others are Lickylicky, Weavile, Dusknoir and Spiritomb).

Also about #6, the said character is Kotori Minami, who is also from Love Live!, and crossover art of her with Rowlet is a popular thing.
