What part of this game are you most looking forward to so far? I'M STILL SO HYPED AHHHHHHH
I’m excited to see if Lumiose Tower is secretly redesigned into a hidden Ultimate Weapon in Pokémon Legends: tZAr.
All of it.
Hoops Im prob excited about AZ lore or the ultimate weapon! hbu?
kalos is my favorite region this is gonna be so sick
new Mega Evolutions but the whole game should be great.
Fun Fact: This game will be Furfrou's first appearance in a Main Series Switch Game.
Ohh yeah makes sense 🤔 it's 1st time in gen 9 on switch 😮
Also the other four missing pokemon the three elemental monkey and the patrat line are in the Kalos base game pokedex
And that's why it's gonna be in my team 🩵 when I saw him I was like wait!? ARE WE GOING TO KALOS?! WHAT A CURVEBALL🩵🩵🩵
We can finally stop the monster that is Furfrou gate keeping on the home GTS
There was nothing but fun about dexit
Lumiose is Paris, Paris has a notorious set of catacombs. The majority of catching will be done in Lumiose's catacombs and bosses will be fucked up ghost versions of Pokemon.
The bosses are gonna be new megas. But I agree on the catacombs being the source of wild Pokémon
@@erickmiranda6717 it can be both. Have the boss be a ghost and when you beat it you get a mega stone for the Pokemon it used to be
I think they’d be silly to not have the catacombs. (If Arceus is Breath of the Wild, then is Z-A Tears of the Kingdom lol?) I don’t think the **majority** of the catching will be underground, there will definitely be a lot of Pokemon roaming the city.
Maybe it can be like the dens in the underground in bdsp with the differently structured rooms for each type of
Do you remember Pokémon Generations, the mini series? Zygarde was inside an underground cave which did not appear in the following games. We may see it now.
Stoked our boy Zygarde finally gets his game after all these years, WILD!
looking back i think they purposely prevented making a Z game solely to make this one. they wanted to make a Z game but had to wait till they got enough pieces
Pieces like Zygarde. Clever
@@alexfanfan9511Yeah, they've admitted in the past that they didn't do Pokémon Z or Gray exactly not to be predictable, but it still leaked that there were plans for X2/Y2, which okay, would still repeat the B/W formula with 2 sequels, but could give us a story and proper Kalos attention back then. Legends is an awesome series, and I'm hyped, but it is still another approach to the games
My interpretation of the "futuristic" section of the trailer is that it is supposed to represent stepping inside the blueprint of what whatever organization the logo belongs to wants Lumiose to become, possibly using a version of the same type of technology used in the Holocaster devices, essentially the X & Y version of things like the Pokenav from the Hoenn games or the X-Tranceiver in Unova, the featured so heavily. So that sequence doesn't necessarily mean it takes place "in the future" like so many people immediately jumped to, and considering how weirdly advanced some things in the Pokemon world are compared to others I could see this being set 50-100 years ago, but in either case I feel that we will be helping to build the Lumiose city we played through in X & Y
THANK YOU! Finally someone else got it
You clearly didn't play much PLA, because the point of much of the main story but **especially** the side-quests was easing folks' fears about living alongside pokemon. In a way, our time-traveling protag introduces the concept of people and pokemon living side-by-side.
My guess for the plot is that, similar to Pokémon Legends Arceus with the pokédex, our initial goal will be to help build and redevelop Lumiose City into a bigger and more modernized city, but similar to Pokémon Legends Arceus with the whole frenzied nobles and space-time rifts, something will happen revolving xerneas and yveltal, threatening not only Lumiose City but the Kalos ecosystem as a whole, and our character will have to try to find and reassemble zygarde in order for balance to be restored and peace to be brought back to Kalos. But as far as how the ultimate weapon will fit into the story, I have no idea.
I agree, I think Lumious will be base camp but there was too much plot in Geosenge for us not to go there. Also how will you fit the legends, aka 3 massive legendary pokemon, inside of a city. I feel like the plot of AZ and the war are possible too, as they were the biggest mystery of Kalos and with how the 2 box legends fueled the weapon it might be up to Zygarde to stop the chaos of the weapon (either when initially made or being used again like lysander did)
Instead of unknown we have to find the zygarde cells.
I think this will actually be in the past. This will be a parallel to Haussmann's renovation of Paris which took place between 1853 and 1870. So it would actually be taking place around the same time as Legends Arceus.
I kinda hope not honestly. I’m not a huge past” guy and I kinda like the idea of it taking place in the future
Haussmann’s renovation is definitely an inspiration but the fact that people were wearing modern clothes in the trailer disproves it being set in the past
THANK you. Someone gets it!
Definitely going to be set in the future at least for most of the game.
Legends arceus to begin with started us in the past. We can start out in the future at the start, but afterward, we go to the past to change the future.
When they said about Pokémon and people living together, I instantly thought of Rhyme City.
THANK YOU! I could not remember what it was called, so Kalos reveal was actually really effective. XD
It seems like the Legends series will be their more experimental games, which I think is good.
What would've been like if GameFreak retired the modern-era Pokemon games after Gen 8? While in favor of the Legends series? As in, no Gen 9 onwards. Just explore different eras of Regions from Kanto to Galar.
@@tlst94 Why, though? I'd love to see their takes on other parts of the world, as well as what new designs they could come up with. And the main series games are their money makers. S/V sold gang busters. There's no way they're stopping that.
@@Zac_Frost Because eight Regions is the perfect amount to fill the entire Pokemon World. Also the "Masters Eight Coronation" in the Anime. Plus, each Region had eight Gyms/Trials. It's like eight is a magic number in the Pokemon World. Also, what would've been like if each Region came out between 1996 and 2004? With Kanto-Sinnoh on GameBoy. Then Unova-Galar on GBA. Without third versions or remakes each Gen(while the original paired versions had their fixed issues and bonus contents). With trade compatibility between GB & GBA. While Gen 2 only had Johto with its own League, Evil Team, and whatnot. And what if each Gen got a sequel/prequel/Legends every 10 years? With completely new stories and changes with the Regions. Imagine Kanto having a "Red 2 & Blue 2" in 2006 on DS with Regional Variants and new protagonists beating the last ones to be the new Champion. And then Legends Mew in 2016 on a Switch(if released a year sooner) where we visit either the past or future and introduced Paradox mons.
Bro became typhlosion during that reaction
😭
I’d say Exploud.
One thing that I didn't notice but a friend did is that before the full lumiose map reveal, a talonflame flies off towards the tower, but then when we get closer to the tower, now it's a fletchling flying. which seems even more important when the title is Z-A, or essentially a sort of reverse alphabet. i doubt they would add in de-evolving pokemon other than mega evolution, but it makes you wonder if that was on purpose or not.
That is very interesting. I think the future parts of the trailer is just what they want the city to look like however the game is in the past. Maybe the Talonflame is shown because they were thinking how the fletching they are watching while imagining the new city would look like cause it will be done in a lot of time. So maybe we see fletching later on telling us that the game is really set in the past, just want it to build the new city. (I hope I didn't messed up with my english and it makes sense 😅)
This is why I feel like it's not gonna be as simple as "set in the past" or "set in the future." There's deliberate contrast in the trailer with the drawn out blueprints vs the kind of hologram-esque 3d stuff. With SV's main thing being past vs future, I feel there's a good chance we see a bit of both somehow
The original plans for Pokemon Z way back when, as far as we are able to decipher, were for it to be a follow-up to X&Y. It was to be set after the events in X&Y but REVEAL more about the backstory of the past events that led up to X&Y. So it makes sense to me that it will begin as a follow-up to X&Y, to fulfill the "Z" part of the game, then go back into the past via some means to fulfill the ancient "A" portion, likely revolving around AZ, and possibly the special Floette involved with AZ, seeing as the "A" in the game logo appears to be plant-like.
I like the idea of the main character being able to travel between the future and the past of Lumiose City, which feels possible given Talonflame turning into a Fletchling in the trailer and the general vibe of the trailer being futuristic while being a Legends game (with the first one being in the past). It would be cool to do an "Ocarina of Time" style game where you can go back and forth between the time periods. Maybe that's why it goes Z-A? You start in the near future (Z) and go back in time (A) and can go back and forth. Obviously it may also include AZ as a character, Zygarde, etc. But the clues make me feel like we're going to get to go back and forth!
If we get fucking banished in this one, then I'm modding in the ability to incinerate the city.
Come on it was actually unexpected! I liked it as a story concept and the gameplay doesn't change that much for that period
That means roaring moon was a foreshadowing of this game because it's a " past mega"
Same with iron valiant
This whole thing is wildly unexpected, but I think what we should be really excited for is the prospect of some French Regional forms and new evolutions, not just Mega evos.
I would have to say because of Megas, they won’t have new evolutions. Could be wrong, but considering that Megas are a form of evolution, probably not. Regional forms hopefully
IMO that would be a worst case scenario for me. Megas are cool, but way more subject to removal from the game than a standard evo and even in games that include them way more likely to be super late compared to just a new evo.
@@chrisjohnsen8448 I agree, but just Megas does seem more likely
I’m hoping for regional variants, regional evolutions, *and* mega evolutions. What would be *really* interesting, is if they gave us mega evolutions that only the new regional evolutions can achieve. To use Wooper as an example, let’s say that Clodsire got a new mega evolution, but not Quagsire. Or, what would be more likely(because that would make one evolution line better than the other), even though Far’Fetched never got a mega evolution, despite being fully evolved for so long, what if Sir’Fetched got a mega evolution when it was introduced? Something like that would be cool.
Considering that Final Fantasy VII Remake also takes place within a single city, I don't see a problem with the concept. They just need to flesh out the city more than what we saw in X and Y.
Pokémon isn’t as big of a scale as those but it’ll still have its own charms
Plus, they can implement DLC this time, giving us a postgame story to explore outside the city, especially Geosenge Town and route 10, cuz it has AZ’s weapon and the route has the graves of Pokémon from the Kalos War.
I want them to let us go outside the city
FF7R being only in Midgar was such a stretch of exploration tho, wasnt a fan of that honestly. I think this would be a better fit for PLAZ being one city.
It works for GTA San Franciso is about 47 miles Paris is 41 miles They can do it
Imagine you're involved in the redevelopment plan of Luminose, but the company you work for is just a front to actually building the ultimate weapon, it gets fired and the ghost girl was caught in the collateral and that's why in X/Y she appears and says 'You're Not The One' ... meaning you're not the trainer who caused her death
Also hope this game addresses the note on the train station that states someone is in trouble, find me at our usual spot
I'm trying to figure out how the 'based in a city' idea works but my thoughts are you have quests like 'we need a park built' ... go and catch 5 fighting type Pokemon that know the move 'Stomp' to clear the land or something like that, so you gotta travel round the city finding them or finding trainers with said Pokemon and convince them to help out (maybe they wanna battle you before joining), at the end you realise the UW was actually being built so you get tasked with finding Zygarde (maybe banished again) to fixing up the mess you unknowingly caused.
Why is everybody convinced the Ultimate Weapon is somehow involved with this game? Personally I don't see that being a part of it. Partially because does anybody even know how to build the thing? Lysandre had to use the original for his goal because he didn't know how to replicate it. This game looks only a few years after X/Y to me. Which suggests that they probably still don't know how to build it. Plus AZ refuses to build that thing again so if he is even in this game he isn't helping. So I just don't see it. But I do like the idea that there are more then just a Redevelopment plan in this game.
PLA wasn’t about building a fort and keeping Pokémon out. It was about bringing people closer to the Pokémon by bettering their understanding of them. You quite literally spent your time bringing Pokémon into the town to help people. By the end of the game people are coexisting with Pokémon. Also, present Lumiose city is already very futuristic, and the vision of the redevelopment plan coincides with what Lumiose city is today.
A game set in the future does sound fun but I did also see something about the game being set in the late 1800s as well. Because in paris there was a period known as the haussman renovation which was a massive renovation of the city which to me seems like a perfect real world inspiration for this game. Either way I am excited to learn more about this game
I hope it'll be set in the past, cuz I'm not super into Future games. I don't really like the Violet Paradox Pokemon either for that reason. I'll still be playing it, cuz I love Pokemon, but I will not like it.
It’s funny how people were saying we were getting a gen 6 dlc and a gen 5 game but we got a gen 5 dlc and a gen 6 game lol
probably means post war by bringing pokémon and humans back* together
Furfrou and the elemental monkeys are part of the kalos pokedex, which means every pokemon 1-1025 will be available on a switch title
Don't forget about Patrat line too
I’m pretty sure the elemental monkeys and other pokemon aren’t on the switch
@@jockson7574 The idea is that this dex would have those pokemon, making all of them on the switch.
@@LMK-Gaming lol oh true
Since it’s based on Paris and the restoration makes me think we’re likely going into “catacombs” which would be remnants from the war
One thing to note about what used to be known as the "DLC area" of the Paldea map is that it covers part of the French/Basque region that isnt in Kalos-Kalos is mostly the north and central area of France, including Paris/Lumiose City. I'm not sure if this proves or disproves a connection; maybe the future version of Lumiose has moved to a previously undiscovered area?
As i looked at the the title of the new game, I notice that the Z had hexagon in it just like we know that it represents Zygard's cells, just like Hoop said. So if you look at bottom legs of the A, you notice it have roots like a plant. Those this mean Zygard will have partner legendary pokemon, Dragon/ Grass. Both work together to bring balance to the world, just as the game focus on coexistence.
The A will represent a new legendary being another Applin evolution!
I interpreted it to mean future and past will be represented; progress and origins. Perhaps even time travel. Especially when you think about Z being the end and A as the beginning. Past and future.
Another Dragon legendary would be interesting and would fit with the existing legendaries. The Kalos trio are based on elements of the World Tree from Norse mythology. Depictions usually show the midgard serpent wrapped around the earthly realm, and another serpent eating away at the roots of the World Tree. There's also a squirrel who serves as a messenger to the hawk at the top of the tree and the serpent at the roots. Would be funny to have squirrel legendary or mythical too
I like your thought on the Future and past. It would be great if both of our ideas on the game are true.
Thank you, because I forgot they were base on the World Tree. So if your knowledge is right, I can't wait for squirrel legendary pokemon.
It’s called LEGENDS Z if it’s a legend that means that it’s old, people don’t seem to understand this if we get a futuristic Pokémon game it isn’t going to be a legends game because then it wouldn’t be a legend if it didn’t happen a long time ago
The duality theme in this one is probably gonna be synthetic vs natural kinda thing, based on the Z and A designs on the title
I think people are misinterpreting the part that makes it seem like it takes place ENTIRELY in Lumiose City. I think it just means that it is the main hub part that you work on developing while going out to different areas to get materials and such.
I believe that too. It's like jubilife in legends arceus. That's just gonna be the main area
No nintendo of america said its set entirely in lumiose
This is exactly what I thought
I don't think it is being misinterpreted. The map shown is entirely Lumiose city and it looks huge. Each area even seems to have a circular park that could easily be different biomes. The whole purpose of this game seems to be trying to make the city into something that essentially negates the need to have undeveloped, natural habitats.
Could be either, notice how similar the layout looks to the BB Academy Terarium, there were also hints of “development” as you can upgrade the biomes - a possible hint to ZA’s urban development theme
My assumption is the game is going to involve primal reversions of Xerneas and Yveltal going berserk and destroying Zygarde, and we will need to recollect its cells throughout the region similar to the wisp quest from PLA. There should be some references to Paldea as well, though I'm most curious if we'll see any new megas and regional forms. Diancie will probably be locked behind owning SV in reference to the tera crystals, similar to Shaymin and Darkrai from PLA.
The letter A in the logo looks like a pair of legs with a motive and color (green) related to leaves. It reminds me a little to Ogerpon legs. Also, it is interesting that the title is Z-A, with Z being the last letter of the alphabet and A being the first letter. Maybe a hint of going from the end to the beginning of something?
Is it possible gamefreak will be giving us a legendary that starts with the letter A? Maybe a nemesis to zygarde? Like Xerneas and yveltal kind of dynamic. Oh the anticipation!
I think in this game, we help build Lumiose City to what it is today. The futuristic looking part is what Lumiose looks like today. The sketches are the blueprints for what the architect (our boss, maybe Lysandre's ancestor) is envisioning for Lumiose
I think the game is a prequel. It is probably going to show the origins of Mega or the utilization of it to help build the world. Maybe it's rebuilding the city after the AZ disaster, hints the name Z-A.
I disagree I think this games takes place in the future, the trailer is too futuristic and the people look way too modern to be a game that takes place 3000 years before the present
@@Anthony-tz2wb 3000 years is too much, but just for reference, LA was (real world) mid-19th century (Meiji era), exactly the same time as Haussmann's Paris redesign/reconstruction. Not too unlikely, considering the hand-drawn architecture designs in the trailer. I think both scenarios (past/future) are likely.
One thing that I found interesting is a moment towards the end of the trailer. When the camera pans out to look at the entire Lumiose map and then switches to the drawing of the map, the circular areas surrounding the tower change. In the “blueprint” view, the circles have at least something within them, but in the drawing view, they’re completely empty. This could imply that the circles will fill in throughout the game, indicating that you have finished modernizing that part of the city. You’ll probably have to look at the trailer to know what I’m talking about, but I think I’m pretty spot on with this one
Not just that but I think they aren't in the same location. I have to double check but I thought that was the case. I could also be the circle being something like the "Wild Area" where you can catch Pokemon. But probably not the only place though
I think this game takes place before XY as Lumiose city goes from an old age architecture to a modern architecture. Lumiose tower is already high tech, so I don't think they would remodel it if its already pretty modern so it has to take place before the tower was built or a previous version of the tower than we see in XY, and over the course of the game we see the tower in XY as its built. The city in XY is already a place where pokemon and people live together, so the setting has to be some time before that point. I don't think the hologram scenes are meant to look futuristic as they are just the blueprints in 3D, its just the glowing outlines on some characters that make it come off as futuristic but all the buildings, roads and bridges still look like a blueprint.
Its gonna be Cyberpunk but in pokemon
Good attention to detail, I think you’re on to something. Best theories I’ve seen on KZhead all day
The original plans for Pokemon Z way back when, as far as we are able to decipher, were for it to be a follow-up to X&Y. It was to be set after the events in X&Y but REVEAL more about the backstory of the past events that led up to X&Y. So it makes sense to me that it will begin as a follow-up to X&Y, to fulfill the "Z" part of the game, then go back into the past via some means to fulfill the ancient "A" portion, likely revolving around AZ, and possibly the special Floette involved with AZ, seeing as the "A" in the game logo appears to be plant-like.
A note about the futuristic blueprint segment: I don’t think it’s basis that ZA will take place in the future. That whole segment was to 1. Get the audience familiar with where the game’s gonna be set by showing a familiar landscape; 2. Show the Lumiose builders’ visions of how the city will look like after redevelopment; 3. Juxtapose and highlight the gameplay of the game aka redeveloping Lumiose. Also, Arceus was probably inspired by Japan’s colonization of Hokkaido (Sinnoh/Hisui is based on Hokkaido). Kalos is based on France. France had the Haussmann’s renovation of Paris in the late 1800s. Since Lumiose is inspired by Paris, it’ll make more sense if ZA takes place during the 18th century. If it’s gonna be more modern, maybe sometime in the 1920-30s? But I’m betting more on the 1800s. Besides, the name “Legends” implies past, so it wouldn’t make sense if the game takes place in the future. It should be renamed to something else like “Visions” or “Destiny” lol.
Hoops, I don’t blame you for being so energised by this news. I watched the presents at 5am (I live in NZ) and tried so hard not to shout because I was so shocked 😂
My idea is the futuristic vibe is just blueprints of what they want luminoise city to be like "we want a city where pokemon and humans live together for our town becoming a city" meaning it could still be in the past like we rebuilt jubilife village in arceus
Watch it turn into Pokemon Sim City.
The shields for the king's pokemon in S/V look like Lumios city and they never got into the lore of that. So that is another Paldea connection as well.
If you do all the side quests, jubilife village is full of Pokemon at the end of legends Arceus. It's really just doing the same thing to a different degree.
What if this is the timeline where Team Flare won and since he was defeated in ultra sun and moon the people are trying to rebuild. Like Lumiose City is like the last livable habitat and you have to find and revive Zygarde to revitalize the rest of the region.
I am so psyched about this game. I wonder if Calem and Serana will be the Protagonists again or someone new. I would also love to see Team Flare again. But more better lead and stuff. Like how team plasma was in BW2. Also if we have the kalos starters again or any starters, they definitely need to have a mega evolution
I’m praying someone new
If it’s gonna be set in the past, which I believe, They better add Barry’s ancestor in this game since there wasn’t one in Arceus
Eternal Flower Floette could be a paradox Pokemon
I doubt it
🤡
Im just looking forward to finally meeting the Lava Dome Pokemon at Jaune Plaza
Btw, noticed how the plazas were all named after colors? (Jaune = yellow). Come to think of it, one of them was called Magenta and the tower at the center is called Prism Tower... Necrozma is the Prism mon while ZAmazenta means The Magenta.
That was actually a mistranslation
There are more callbacks to Kalos found in Paldea: the name "Area Zero" has the initials AZ, and the Treasures of Ruin quartet can be seen as a reference to eternal Floette's move Light of Ruin.
I think Z-A is in the past, a few years/decades arter PLA, long enough for the concept of pokeballs to be brought to Kalos. I think the original city of Lumiose is "over run" with wild pokemon, and it's up to the player to catch pokemon/relocate/tame them so that it can be a full Metropolitan like it is in X and Y; Hence the "Redevelopment plan" I think Zygarde is like Arceus, in tasking the player to help do that for order to be brought to Lumiose, make sure it is going to go in the direction it wants it to
A lot of people have mentioned GTA or Final Fantasy 7 regarding games that take place in one city, but another one of my favorites is Jak 2 which takes place in one city. If done well, there’s a TON they can do in a setting like that
cp from my previous post I just hope lumiose actually is as big as irl paris. Most people didnt know that pokemon regions that are based on japan is comparatively modest in comparison to most regions that are not based in japanese regions. If gs beta maps to go by, you can travel through entire honshu (japan's main island) at the cost of regions being focused on a single city (kanto only being saffron city). Just like how you get UK, Iberia, and france being an entire region. Imagine GF made motostoke (London) being its own region like kanto instead the entire UK, or mesagoza being its own region instead of paldea.
X and Y were so special to me. Shiny furfro looks like my dog rex, who i grew up with, who finally passed of old age two years after the games came out. We got a yorkie puppy named Sadie shortly after the games came out. She was sick and needed round the clock care. But when i would play with eevee to work on getting Sylveon with her napping on my lap, she would always perk up and look so curiously at the game. She passed away at 9 months old due to a congenital defect with her liver. Needless to say, i am so happy to go back to a region so dear to me.
5:40 that puts me in mind of how the atmosphere appears around large enough observed asteroids or meteorites as they breach in. The ring is a coronet caused by the ozone being penetrated & lit up (creates a ripple of light) & the 4-point star is the lighting illusion that occurs upon the ozone being hit by said N.E.O. breaking through at that moment. + 5:40 you guys remember the Anistar City Sundial in Pokémon XY(Z)? It was suggested that it was from outside the planet. Later it was hypothesized that the glassy monolith was reshaped by legendary Pokémon & it could help you locate mega stones in the 8:00AM (Pokémon X) or 8:00PM (Pokémon Y) hours when the sky is colored unusually. ... 5:40 remember the doomsday Floette gun? Remember the visual effect of the projectile beam exiting & re-entering the atmosphere? Remember that the world ending blossom of doom was _CRYSTALLINE?_ *Remember the* *_Anistar Sundial being crystalline?_* 5:40 Coincidence? *_Who knows right now?_* we don't have enough info yet.
Fun Theory: It is the time where Lumiouse City gets fully modernized or rebuilt🤯. In the trailer we can see a scetch of the new Lumiouse City & The most part of teaser we can see blue lines like a blueprint for Lumiouse City🤔.
It is crazy you are the FIRST poketuber to finally bring up the baseball cap and that the trailer we saw takes place in a more modern or even futuristic time and cannot of been in the past. Thank you! So this is going to take place in the mega timeline and happen after x and y. wither we go back in time in the game could be but the video we do have now takes place after x and y.
Interesting fact. Z is the last alphabet like Omega while A is the first alphabet like Alpha
I'm not curious of if it's gonna live up to the legends name, no, my curiosity lies in what kind of pokemon are gonna be in this? This is KALOS!!! the LITERAL ORIGIN of what many consider to be the best feature in all of pokemon, Mega evolution. Making me wonder, what kinda pokemon are we gonna get? Are we gonna see some new mega's? WHAT ARE OUR STARTERS GONNA BE AND WILL THEY HAVE SOME NEW EVOLUTION!?! This is making me more and more curious by the second.
I assume we're gonna get some kalos form pokemon with new evolutions like usual, likely new megas cuz kalos
Starters I'm very curious as well, last time we get 3 starters from different regions, it may very well be the same thing, my guess would be treecko for grass, chimchar for fire, and totodile for water, but that is a very random guess, I just want those pokemon for starters
@@patrickzalatoris3206 it possible yes but I want to point out that the starters were three different starters from three different regions. In my mind it's likely they might do something similar again in this legends game.
@@patrickzalatoris3206 Snivy, Scorbunny and Piplup for me
But why are Starters randomized lore-wise? Did they originate elsewhere? If so, where did Starters come from? Assuming that traditional ones like Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur weren't Kanto-native.
The "A" is definitely a new pokemon
Was waiting for you video time traveler lmao 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
theory: after the storyline of pokemon legends arceus zygarde opens up a portal and sends you to lumiose city in the future
Hoops, my guy, take a closer look at the 'A' in the logo, on the feet of the 'A' there are lines reminiscent of the stem veins you would see on a leaf, in contrast to the 'Z' clearly decorated with the hexagonals of Zygarde, my theory is that 'A' will represent not only the ultimate weapon but a brand new pokemon to rival Zygarde, possibly a grass type, maybe even representing a new split evoloution of the eternal flower giving us a brand new legendary and/or mythical, the credence to further my theory is consider Enamorous as the legendary that was given to us in PLA.
I think rebuilding the city and the drawing animations of the teaser will play a bigger part in the game. If the city is being rebuilt, there might be parts of the city that need to be cleared from Megas and giving you access to start building and designing that section of the city. Each of our cities will be slightly different since the beginning of the teaser resembles architectural blueprints.
I think people are a bit too focused on the blue lines meaning it’s in the future. Fellas, those are blueprints. The trailer is just designed like that because we’re developing the city.
My prediction for the synopsis of this game: As you work on rebuilding the ruins of Lumios City, you will be dragged into an epic conflict with the precursor of Team Flare
Baseball cap, remember ? It's modern time.
@@DrFerno727 hasn’t been confirmed yet
@@macwelch8599 It hasn't been confirmed, but if you look at the Lumiose City map in this trailer compared to the map in X and Y, it is MUCH more developed. Some of the waterways look to have been built over when you look at them.
@@DrFerno727 France was industrialized from 1850 to 1875 and baseball caps were invented around then. The past isn't always the fucking before times like Arceus.
@@TheMinecraftPaleonerdArceus was also in the equivalent of 1850s Hokkaido, Japan 😅 (shows how underdeveloped Hokkaido was compared to France)
Gogoat's reappearance in scarlet and violet was a foreshadowing to a return to Kalos!
5 seconds in and paused cause I know this will be a banger. Appreciate you man
I would like if this game pass twelve years after the XY games, because is the time that passed in real life. Also i noticed that the color of the word Pokemon in the logo is the same as Diance(pink and gray).
Letting you know that the logo is green and gray Edit: looked back at it and I'm assuming you were referring to the "Pokemon" logo and not "Z-A", right? My mistake ^_^'
@@ghostlyfae8721 That's right and don't worry, i should be more specific. 😅
The fact that I feel like Pokémon is making the game as though it’s a parallel universe-like vibes is awesome! Have anyone thought of how the game itself look like the movie Tron legacy…. A mirror universe! And that random symbol he mention looks like a mirror like universe, if you draw a line horizontal across it
What if it’s building lumios after az set off the ultimate weapon, we are just rebuilding lumios since mega stones already exist
Very excited for this! I'll definitely have to replay Pokémon Y this year! Also very excited for for the Pocket TC game. I don't really have the money for it, but I miss opening packs and collecting cards lol. Great video! Much love!
While watching the 12:20 arc of the video, i was thinking the "Z-A" could be reference to time travel, being the representation for the reverse alphabet in English. It could be based on "going back in time", as the opposite of the proccession of the main Trailer on PKMN Day. I am a huge Kalos Fan, so anything Pokemon Z related is a pot of gold for me.
1) If the title is read as “Z to A”, I wonder if we’re going to be going steadily back in time throughout gameplay. 2) We’re doing urban planning for PokéParis-there’s every chance we’ll get some creepy catacombs. Perhaps there are Zygarde cells hiding in there! 3) I can only hold out hope that we’ll get confirmation of AZ’s ultimate weapon creating the Great Crater of Paldea
It definitely takes place in the past, a lot of people were confused by that whole "holographic" part of the trailer but that only represents the imagination of the person who designed the city, that's why it starts and ends like a drawing. It's not that complicated guys, don't go crazy theorizing.😏
Hopefully we can get the mythicals like how PLA is.
Imagine if we can time travel at will with an obtainable Celebi.
Two theories: (1) The game will feature time travel. The area that is Lumious city in the past will be a sprawling open world area with wild pokemon and a much smaller town/city at its centre. You'll catch the pokemon there and use them to develop the city. You'll be able to time travel to the future to see the fruit of your labour. (2) The game is set in modern day and you'll venture outside the city to catch pokemon and transport them back to work on the redevelopment plans. This of course somewhat ignores the idea of the entire game being confined to the city. In both instances I imagine you'll receive quests like: catch 6 Geodude to help with a construction project.
I feel like the logo featured in the teaser is familiar, but I cannot, for the life of me, think of why. The fact it's referred to as "redevelopment", plus how Tron-like that segment is, definitely makes me feel like it's set at some point in the future, too.
I’m really hoping that they misworded that because being stuck in lumiose sounds very repetitive and even if they made it really big so it wouldn’t be an issue you would just get lost
I'm just glad they plan to release it on 2025. HOpefully, it will be available on the new system.
Pokémon Legends Z-A also has something interesting. So there are a couple of Pokémon not available in any of the Switch Pokémon games: The 6 elemental Monkeys, Patrat & Watchog, and Furfrou (also Alolan Rattata & Raticate). All those Pokémon (not the Alolan forms) are part of the XY Pokédex. But since XY has all mons transferable, I'm sure we could get the Alolan forms too.
Alolan forms are in LGPE
Okay guys, get your bingo cards ready. I have “AZ trying to find a way to remove his immortality” on mine.
I think there might be like parks were you can catch Pokemon which are based on different biomes like a field/forest water desert tundra park and i think all four i mentioned are very likely field/forest and water since we have always had one of those in all gens desert since we see a lot of desert Pokemon in the tralier like hippopotas krookodile and arbok and tundra where would you catch ice types
I literally read a leak a week prior to the direct talking about a Legends game set in the future and the gimmick would be Pokemon fusion.
I'm psyched! I just hate that we'll have to wait a whole damn year!
That good because it won't be rushed n less bugs
I'm sure that extra time will make it well worth the wait!
Even though we will have to wait a year for the game. I'm certain that we will get more info along the way.
In the first legends game we also only had one city. All other places were vilages, but not cities. I don't think the game will be locked to Lumiose, just that Lumiose will be the main hub just like what happened in the first game and the objective will be to recruit people and pokemon to Lumiose
I wonder if the logo we see could be related to this worlds Ultra Recon Squad as Necrozma was locked up in their version of Prism Tower and Ultra Necrozma was heavily associated with Lumious City in the TCG. So maybe there might be some Alola references in this
The unnamed logo looks like a sparkle/lens flare inside of the letter C. Sparkle for lumiose, C for City
I think it’s gonna take place during the Haussmann Renovation
I would love to see this be an alternate universe where Lysandre succeeded in destroying a large portion of Kalos. This would be the rebuild of the city.
So when I saw the logo that appears in the trailer I immediately noticed the circle part looks like the shape of the city with the tower sticking up out from the centre, also with a sort of inverted tower traveling inward too, mirroring the surface? Kind of feels like it’s hinting at a sub ground area too underneath the tower.
I think/hope that this legends is like legend arceus (in the past).
I think it's going to jump between past and future. Playing into the whole Paradox theme from SV. There will be some kind of time travel mechanic.
I just hope they learn from their previous mistakes Like not making the dex mandatory again, focusing more on battling rather than catching, and overhauling the battle system to something more traditional
@@FlyGli1 when it forces you to make collectors items out of sentient beings and greatly reduces battling while also giving U a difficult and annoying battle system to work with, then yes It's also not that unique because Let's Go practically does the same thing
I need some new megas for the kalos starter and legendaries, and a backstory of Kalos War 😭
Yes!
Great video, fired up PLA and summarizied based off casual play: origins of spirit links for mega evolutions, discovery of mega stones, relationship of trainer and pokemon, ability to overcome chaos (from spacial distortions from Arceus), loss of trust with trainer and pokemon (starter change), a gripping factor and i hate to be negative but I'm reminded of red and blue where Gary lost a Mon. Placing emphasis on the relationship and trust with your Mon's otherwise a distorted evolution could take place (SkullGreymon from Season 1 of Digimon 1999). Finally, the Ghost Girl from the games could be the key to unlocking A and the complete forms of the legenday and mythical Mon's.
Fun fact - baseball caps, like the one in the trailer, was first in use decades before legends arceus happened.
I wonder if they're going to have a similar sequence to the beginning of Legends Arceus where Zygarde somehow summons you to send you on the quest of the game. Also Zygarde 100% should be a permanent form change in this game. I was incredibly confused and disappointed back in Gen 7 when I collected all of the cells and realized that you needed to get it knocked down to half health for it to change to 100%. Or at least they could give it Belly Drum or a new move that does the same thing so you can get both the form change and a maximized attack stat.
Pokemon version of Night City. Not one open zone, but 5 district sandbox zones at least. Hopefully has some outskirts of the city too.
It might have new traversal features like the ones in the Assassin's Creed games, like wall running, jumping to and from light fixtures on houses, that kind of stuff.
Nah the ZA name is clearly just shorthand for Pizza which of course is a well known Italian food, meaning an Italy based region confirmed for Gen 10. But seriously Kalos was the smarted choice for a new Legends game simply because of the 2024 Summer Olympic Paris Games which is marketing gold for Nintendo if they do it right. Especially since the 2026 Winter Olympic Games are being held in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, meaning I was right: Italian region for Gen 10 confirmed.
I don't know if anyone has noticed but the furfrou that looks when pikachu runs by is actually a robot! If you look closely it's face is covered in LEDs and the way it turns it's face is not natural.
