How do you get other starters in Pokemon sun + moon?

Question

like treecko or turtwig. Is it even possible at the moment?

Answer 1

It isn't possible. You can only get the Johto Starters through Island scan and Alolan starters through trade the rest require PokeBank to transfer the older mons over.
