While your reasoning seems sound (I can't say for sure; I still haven't sat down to read the comics properly), I think announcing Emma so early on only to sideline her full romance for three whole chapters would have a fair number of people eyeing their torches and pitchforks.
She remains an antagonist for nearly a decade before mellowing out in the 90s.

Several events are directly caused by her being an antagonist, so her joining outright before she mellows out is unlikely.

Note, there is nothing stopping Null from seducing her to spy on the Hellfire club, as he is the only one immune to her powers outright, or Emma tries to seduce him to do the same to the X-Men. It would work out even with no romance, as you can do back-and-forths while eating fancy dinners or meeting in social encounters.

It would be a vastly different romance and character interaction compared to every other character, but it would be something fitting to the character, in my opinion. It's also not without precedent in the comic, considering the number of times the X-Men just walked up to the Hellfire club. Heck, Magneto even joins the Hellfire club when he was still the leader of the New Mutants.
I will point out that one of the devs has stated recently that if there had not already been art and writing for Laura and Rogue, that Polaris would've been one of the chapter 1 LI's.

Taking that into account, Polaris could show up earlier than ch 5, potentially.
Potentially, but in the arcs the game will be covering, she is outright retired and doesn't rejoin the plot in any significant capacity till Mr. Sinister has Malice possess her and then she joins X-factor when she is freed.

If it's going to be comic-accurate, then Null won't even interact with her that much beyond the times she is briefly mind-controlled and when she shows up for Scott's wedding. Now, the devs who put far more thought into this than I did might know a better time she can join, but the best time I can think of is chapter 5 where she joins the X-Men instead of X-factor. Heck she might not even be joining considering the sheer number of other potential girls joining in the same time frame.

Just throwing this out there: While Emma didn't join the X-Men proper until the 2000s, she started teaching for Xavier in the book "Generation X" which was the Jubilee era.

Also, I wonder if it wouldn't make the most sense for Polaris, because she's *technically* a pre-Giant Size #1 member of the team but never *does* anything, to be one of those characters they've talked about adding as post-game DLC? Like maybe whoever those girls are, they could be slotted into any season so Polaris could become retroactively a season 1 character or something?

That'd still be chapter 5, and chapter 4, by all indications, would cover the Mr Sinister arc and probably a bit after.

I'd have to agree with this as well. If we're going comic-accurate, it might be better to save her for DLC or post-game to make room for the other characters that would be joining, of which there would be a lot of potential candidates. But it is up to the devs to decide

Not to nitpick, but in your theorycrafting there, you put Jubilee in chapter 4.
She lives in their Australia base since Uncanny X-Men 244, goes on adventures with wolverine and officially joins in 273 which came out three years before Generation X's first issue. Strictly Canon comic-wise she'd show up at the end of chapter 4 if chapter 4 is solely Mr. Sinister and his arc (mutant massacre, goblin queen, genosha etc).

Emma is in a coma for an entire year after the events of Uncanny X-Men 284 and doesn't get woken up fully till about 314 and goes to found Generation X in 318 which Jubliee joins because fuck consolidation I guess, got to have a million spin offs I can't keep track of.

Chapter 4 for Jubilee is also pretty much the only place I can put her because Chapter 5 goes the farthest in the timeline, covering Onslaught and its surrounding arcs, which are years after Jubilee's stint with the X-Men.

Only sex scenes you'll be missing out on are unique scenes that each girl has. So despite the irrational gut reaction, monogamous people are missing out on something.
I guess we will see how it pans out in the end. But if the plan is to add 3 LI's per chapter, and there are 6 chapters. My initial reaction to having to replay the game 18+ times, just to see everything the game has to offer, is not paticularly optimistic.
