we love to see it

[warden-melli]

Love the detail about Pokémon Legends Z-A being released simultaneously when XY was the first Pokémon game to be released simultaneously back in 2013 🥹🥹

Personally, I have big hopes for the endgame of Pokémon Legends Z-A

Welcome back little idiot

Game freak said ‘we’re making Pokémon Z, we’re brining back mega evolution, and fuck Gen 5’ all in a single breath

You know what I just realized about Legends? It could be the opportunity for Game Freak to kind of have their cake and eat it too. Or, in other words, the Legends subseries could potentially be the ideal "playground" for Game Freak.

We haven't seen anything resembling gameplay for Z-A yet, so obviously everything is speculation, but I get the feeling that the structure and gameplay will be quite different from Arceus. In fact, based on the teaser, it actually seems to me that most, if not all of the game will take place in Lumiose City, a very urban environment, contrasting Arceus' very nature-centric aesthetic. Plus, it's obviously set in another time period. The trailer looked very futuristic, but the architecture that was shown also makes me think that it might be set in the Pokémon version of the late 19th/early 20th century? Either way, it's probably gonna be very different from both a mainline game and Arceus.

And I think that's great! Game Freak can keep producing the more classic mainline games - new region, three new starters, gyms, league, evil team, legendaries, etc - but then just play it fast and loose with Legends. Take any random region, set it in any time period they want, have any kind of story and structure they want, bring back old mechanics, maybe use those mechanics in regions they weren't availaible originally (Z-Moves in Johto? Gigantamax in Unova? Why not?), just go nuts! Throw everything at the wall, and the things that stick might be taken into the mainline series… or not!

for anyone else like me who had no idea how to pronounce the new legends game announced today, on the japanese website they’ve confirmed it’s Z-A and the katakana pronunciation is listed as ゼットエー (zetto-ei)

I need only one thing from Pokémon Legends Z-A: to meet the Lumiose City ghost girl in the distant past.

[mothymoon]

Imagine if Emmet is thrown into the new Legends game like his brother. Just both of them thrown into the past in opposite directions. I think that would be funny.

[tedners]

no you have no idea how excited i am for pokémon legends z-a

x and y has a special place in my heart as the first pokémon game that was just mine and not borrowed from my older brothers. that game is so nostalgic for me.

i’m so excited to see what they do with kalos-

[celestralferret]

Pokemon Z is real! Praise zygarde!

[finalfroevo]

GIVE THE KALOS STARTERS MEGA EVOLUTIONS!!

[nintooner]

POKÉMON Z???????

[starryrock]

Gen 6 fans……. Our time has finally come. Arceus has heard our prayers and has bestowed on us the long fabled “Pokémon Z.” Rejoice, my brethren!

I've seen people speculate about who the starter Pokémon for Z-A are going to be, and it seems like Piplup, Snivy and to a lesser extent Torchic are the most commonly-agreed candidates, as they all pertain to French culture in one way or another. But honestly, I'd rather them not use any of those three. I mean, what is the point of making a French version of something that is already French-themed to begin with...
