Pokémon Z-A: My thoughts & Predictions!

(Plus some Fakemon!!!)

While much was revealed in the trailer on Pokemon Day, the visuals and content told us enough about what may potentially be in the game. Partially from the fact that it's another installment in the “Legends' ' series of Pokemon games with the last one being Legends Arceus, we will probably expect similar gameplay. That being a more open world breath of the wild or monster hunter formatted game with lots of action and scenic graphics. Which at least for me as someone who is a huge fan of open fantastical environments I'm excited about.

Also, the fact that the last Legends game set the president learning about the past of the Pokemon world. This makes me hopeful that we'll learn a lot more about the events of what happened before Pokemon X & Y. both came out in 2012. Before I continue, here's a bit of context on X & Y conceptually as past Pokemon games.

Pokemon X & Y take place in the Kalos Region which is based in France with architecture like the tower in Lumiose City being insured by the Eiffel Tower. Also, the choice of Pokemon that were introduced in that game as well as the debut of the newest type at a time fairy. This game has gone down in JRPG infamy for introducing Mega Evolution as well as the amount of incomplete content it had which segway into my main point of writing this.

What will be answered in the new game? And what will be introduced into the games going forward?

Both of these questions are what I'll be using to guide my hopes & predictions of what potentially will be in this newest game.

New Pokemon:

The full visual of all the Pokemon introduced in X&Y.

Like I stated before XY was infamous for having only 72 new Pokemon. But it is revealed later in the original games that many Pokemon died in a war in the Kalos region's past. So theoretically if there is some type of time travel or Pokemon restoration mechanic there is the possibility some of these “extinct” Pokemon could make a comeback with their first debut in this game.

Time travel:

As stated at the start the last Pokemon Legends game involved time travel with the protagonist going to the past of a different region of the Pokemon world. And from the fact that we see in the Pokemon Z trailer two distinctly different maps of Lumiose City one that looks old and the other looking modern, I am led to believe that this could potentially nod towards a past and future jumping through time aspect to the game. Which depending on how it's implemented could be great.

Expanded character lore:

Through the past and future mechanics that are being added too, we could see past Pokemon characters (gym leaders, trainers, rivals, etc.) either fulfill their dreams from past games or find out who their ancestors and/or children are. It wouldn't be the first time Pokemon has done this. But generally whenever they bring back characters from past games or introduce characters that are related to other characters they almost always get really good reception. Especially since they are usually the opposites of the character they are based on personality which could lead to some entering in game dynamics.

AZ’s Floette:

So probably one of the biggest unanswered questions that's been in the Pokemon community for a decade if not more at this point is what happened to AZ Floette? Does it have an evolution?

For context, AZ is a character who created a machine that would revive his Pokemon that tragically died in the Pokemon war of Kalos past. He did this by using the love of other Pokemon to power the machine. Thus bringing back his beloved Pokemon but with a different more gothic form.

What's interesting about this is that even after we see Floette return to see AZ before flying away once again, it never evolves.

But there was concept art that was leaked several years ago of a potential Floette evolution that was drafted at Game Freak so there's still hope that we may not only be able to catch this mysterious Pokemon but also unleash its full potential.

Closing thoughts & Concepts:

Honestly, I think it will be pretty difficult for this game to disappoint me. Even though I have to wait till 2025 (which will break the Gamefreak year schedule of releasing a Pokemon game) I am okay with that if it means I finally get to experience a Pokemon game that is complete on release. For the past several years Game Freak has released a game and then some DLCs when all we want is the whole game all at once. And while the DLC content can be nice it should feel supplemental and nonessential like if I don't get it I am missing core content but that is a whole conversation in itself.

Out of excitement and the fact that whenever a new Pokemon game is announced I always love creating some Fakemon to see how accurate my predictions for the game may be and/or what concepts may be implemented but with my spin on it. Below are a few different Pokemon forms that I came up with for Pokemon that I hope will be in the game. I am fully aware that they won't look like my iterations but I have fun making them as an artist and Pokemon fan.

Quick sketch I did of Floette Evolution Ideas:

(may come back to these as game approaches release)

Paradox Vivillon I called “Iron Seasons”:

Alternative Furfrou Trim mock-ups:

(Ancient & Future Trims)

[slothfuzzz]

Got a full blog coming soon with more Fakemon designs and my thoughts and predictions regarding the next pokemon game!

Made some Fakemon ancient and future variants of Furfrou & Vivillon. Specifically the Furfrou is supposed to be an “Great Trim” inspired by Koraidon. And the Vivillon is called “Iron Seasons”.

Haven’t made any Fakemon in awhile so this was fun! I wonder what’s in store for pokemon Z-A?

[slothfuzzz]

So I’m thinking that the next few Fakemon I’m gonna do are gonna be Floette evos & alt Vivillon forms and maybe some regionals for Kalos. But we’ll see. Stay tuned…

Soooooooo, does anyone think that in the new Pokemon game we’ll get new Furfrou & Vivillon forms?

Honestly I think it would be pretty cool if we got some futuristic and ancient variants.

Not sure how good they would be since the base Pokémon are OK in normal playthroughs.

Thinking I might make a series of blogs going along w my last abt Discalculia w silly Hazbin Hotel drawings……..

Next one would def be Vaggie or Adam.

[slothfuzzz]

So I have dyscalculia which (TLDR) is basically dyslexia with numbers. And sometimes I make silly doodles during class. I wanted to highlight this one because I made it while I was in the middle of not knowing how to divide a fraction lol. Plus ever since watching Hazbin Hotel I have been absolutely in love with the series. I’ve been a fan since the pilot but the series really took the show to the next level.

Also while I haven’t posted on here much at all (or anywhere recently) I plan on being way more active than I have been lol.
