Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been revealed, but we haven’t seen any gameplay to this point to show us what the game actually looks like. With that said, however, we do know enough about the game to get a pretty decent idea of what we can expect, and in this video, I’m going to show you what that could look like, and what kinds of things we could potentially expect to see in this game!

the dragonlite fakemon-line you have is the most natural i seen the others don't make sense and why dragonlite pre-evolution line change dramatic into dragonlite, it's like bagon and Tyranitar they have cocoon evolutions, cocoon metamorphosize like bug pokemon that explains things but why only dragonlite doesn't fix in?
If pokemon z was scrapped then there would have been a TM for the name at least and to my knowledge there isn't anything of that besides fan theories
A Misdreavus evolution based on Marie Antoinette that can be acquired if there’s a Pokémon with Guillotine in the party.
Jesus Christ
wait that would actually go hard
Bruh, this would be a pretty funny reference to get especially when the kids who play this get older. 😂
Bruh thats metal
That's some dark humor right there.
I think it’s sick choosing clemont, he always had the goal (in the anime) to find a way to have electric Pokémon coexist in Lumiose city.
'No, not electric Pokemon, I want all Pokemon!'
To explain my other reply, he said he wanted to make it a home for all Pokemon
I love that time of year when a new game is revealed, all the theories start brewing, and then the game comes out and we can compare what was close.
we can compare how bad the games turned out and we all overhyped ourselves
@@theamazingspooderman2697 chill -_-
If this was the game we got, I'd play it! One thing you didn't mention? We might see the living origin of the Ghost Girl.
I think the ghost girl will definitely be addressed as well! I just had to stick to the main bullet points for the video lol 😅
@@HoopsandHipHop No worries, there’s always room in another video for her coverage.
It’s pretty obvious that it was a prank from the developers the dude who helped with the games saw the footage and literally in a sarcastic said ooooooo a spooky oooo and also given the x and y was released near October
we are not gonna get anything about her, stop making her important
4:30 damn possible Calem and Serena relatives looking really fly
all the human characters looked super sick as well
Maybe the character we don’t choose to play as joins the redevelopment team with us OR they’re secretly working with the (in this case) sycamore ancestor and that’s how he gets the information he needs
Dragonite will need the Dragonite item to Mega evolve.
I always wanted a Pokémon Z game as I felt it was rather unfair that we didn’t have a follow up Kalos story that didn’t focus on Zygarde. It brings me joy to have a Z game after such a long time, in the form of Legends Z-A.😌
Clemont, Malva & Lysandre’s ancestors look cool especially Clemont’s which I feel could take & I can totally see other ancestor characters in this game like Looker can have an one that is based on Sherlock Homes or maybe a twist where he is more of a gentleman thief Arsene Lupin (which is a French character), Diantha’s could be be a noble, Ramos’ one could be in charge of the landscaping in the city, & Valerie’s or even Fantina could have be a designer
I want some of that Z-A Z-A
I think a mega form for some Pokémon like the Starters (Kalos or otherwise), the X and Y version exclusives such as Clawitzer and Dragalgae, the fossil duo of Kalos, and others like Flygon, Noivern, and Milotic would be great additions to the line up. And also, extra Mega’s for Charizard, plus Mewtwo, just for kicks.
Mega Goodra and Mega Gogoat.
Mega Florges.
Mega Aegislash
NO MORE GIMMICKS FOR CHARIZARD OR MEW TWO GIVE NEW POKEMON A CHANCE
Clemont’s ancestor is looking handsome
I know, right?
Maybe mega-evolution is what causes people in old Lumiose to be afraid of pokemon and not want to live with them in close proximity.
So maybe the antagonists to the Luminose project will utilize mega evolution to further people's fear of pokemon and the true villain is just obsessed with mega evolution and is utilizing the antagonist to help further the research into mega evolution.
But then there's the question of, why is it that none of the Kalos region pokemon can mega evolve when mega evolution is native to Kalos?
Maybe that's where Zygarde comes in and maybe in this game we will utilize Zygarde to REMOVE megaevolution from the Native Kalos Pokemon. Therefore removing that extra bit of fear people had of pokemon and more willing to take them in and endorse the Luminose project.
It would finally give Zygarde the spotlight they deserve and allow gamefreak to make new mega evolutions that will still fit into X/Y story of those pokemon not having a mega evolution later.
Who knows? It could even bring up another game where someone tries to bring BACK those evolutions.
I'm going to call clemont's ancestor Monty
It’d make sense for zygarde to be aligned with the bad team since stopping the redevelopment is in line with the guardian of the ecosystem
I am so excited for all the the new ancestors or descendents we are going to see! In Pokémon Legends Arceus we had so many surprises and I hope we get some characters from other gens.
But why does every fiction make relatives look like clones of the main characters? Instead of having original designs. Heck, even Back to the Future and Dragon Ball are guilty of this. lol
@@tlst94 It's for a simple reason: They want the audience to know easily that they're an ancestor or a descendant of that particular person. It's a visual shorthand just like how tropes are and as a tool, it has its uses, especially when Pokémon as a franchise is geared towards all ages, especially children.
I'm excited to see them too!😊
I swear, Barry’s ancestor better be in this game 😭😭
Pyroar Gogoat and Pangoro
need mega evolutions
I think Pyroar and Gogoat are super prime candidates if Kalos Pokemon get megas!
Pyroar definitely feels like it'll get a mega for lysandre's ancestor
Now this looks like one heck of an adventure and I would love every second. And man the Kalos Starters Megas are so incredible I wish they were real, not only that but you somehow made Milotic even more majestic.
I really like all of your ideas, but especially the ones that tie back to the historical re-development of Paris. I think that would be a wonderful topic for the game to reference and would love to see your ideas of the evil team and their structure coming to life. Your ideas for mega evolution are great as well. I can't wait to see what other megas we're likely to get once more info is released!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the ideas!
Ayo! We both had similar concepts! I had a similar idea that Clemont's ancestor could be the one heading the redevelopment project, as it connects with Clemont's interest in science and can explain why he's leader of the Lumiose Gym, just not thinking he could also double as the Prof. of the game. And I even had a similar thought of who the main villain character could be, as well! Big props to the sick looking artwork, as well!
I bet there’ll be a hoopa or diance quest in the game that’s kind of similar to the spiritomb quest in legends arceus that involves the lumiose ghost girl or the note in the train station. Great vid btw the concept is amazing!
Thank you!! 😄 I definitely think there will be some fun quests for the mythicals as well!!
Here's an idea. You're not completing a pokedex but you're catching pokemon within the city to "relocate" them outside. The "evil" team is a group portrayed as a bunch of PETA likes who claim that pokemon aren't being relocated but ousted, even by force. As you progress, things get abit sus in the methods used to capture the pokemon living within the city. And you have reason to empathise with the conservation group. Turns out you're working for the baddies all along and you lead a cout de tat along with the rebel group against your former employers so that pokemon have the right to live in the city too
Excellent choices overall. I can't wait to finally see what the actual looks like and see more details about it. This is gonna be incredible!
We can see a Lady on her phone in the trailer, so it would make more sense that its happening in the future.
Thats probably present day of the reconstruction.
@@VaporeonKanto yeah it's a vision of what the present lumiose will be which fits with the trailer line abt the city being a dream of peaceful coexistence between humans and pokemon
If you are talking about the lady at the table she wasn’t in the phone. You can see her fingers visibly in the trailer and there’s nothing there
For z-a i need a fucking Mega Haxorus bro
I second that!
i know right bro was robbed
I absolutely agree with this! Make it Dragon/Steel too. It absolutely needs the resistances from those and some stats allocated to the defenses wouldn't hurt either.
real but if they dont give us mega haxorus at least buff it to psuedo legendary status
@@Krude.0 Not gonna happen, if Haxorus wasn't Pseudo by Gen 5 he's never gonna be as such. You can't just promote Pokemon to Pseudo status.
Your mega Delphox design is gorgeous I wish the base form looked more like it
Mega Milotic looks gorgeous 😍
Thank you!! I'm glad you like it! 😄
You are smoking ROCK
Cool video, I would think for the evil team for the game could a group of former aristocrats or lords and knight during AZ’s rule or their descendants that are against the development of Luminose City
see, i was thinking Lysandre's ancestor would be more fashion based. He could create the styles to bring in tourists and tailors and such, boosting the economy. Maybe he worked with Diantha's ancestor, maybe she modeled his work to kick start her career. And it keeps the love of beauty in his blood.
It would be cool if his ancestor also designs the new mega accessories like how lysandre invented the holocaster
Imagine Mega Alphas 😳😳
I also believe in alternate final evos for the kalos starters, which will have megas. This could explain why they cant access their megas in present days.
I wish all pseudo legendaries get a mega
Seeing Dragonite get one would be nice, if for no other reason other than because the name for the Mega Stone will be funny. But the one I think deserves it more I believe should be Dragapult, partly because it's my favorite Psuedo-Legend and partly because it feels like it'd suit Paris some.
I really want a Mega Meganium ( chikorita really fell off after evolving into a pseudo hibiscus allosaur), and it should gain the psychic type as alluded by many of its dex entries.
Also, mega dragonite, should have kept Dragonair's wing ears, it would have been a cool reference to Marvel 's comic accurate Thor.
@@BAlex2209no that would be a waste of a mega
@@tylerm5081 what,an actual viable Meganium would be a waste of mega?
As someone who loved chikorita, and was progressively disappointed by its evolution line, I would solemnly DISAGREE!!!
Wasn't the purpose of mega's to bring light on the overlooked Pokemon,so Pokemon like Meganium,Sunflora,bellosom,huntail,gorbys, seel,etc. deserve a mega,a lot more than Charizard Z and Mewtwo Z.
@@BAlex2209 While I absolutely agree with the idea that Meganium deserves the Mega, one thing I want people to understand is that Mega Evolutions were never made for the weak Pokémon to get stronger. It was always meant to be a strong get stronger thing, it's just that a few weaker Pokémon just got the opportunity by sheer luck. And also because they look cool, it definitely helps.
I don't think a lore-based explanation for how the new Mega Evolutions didn't exist before is really necessary. I prefer to just say Mega Stones are so rare that nobody living in Kalos or Hoenn around 2013 ever found one for Greninja, or Flygon, or whatever Pokémon end up getting new Megas.
I agree. Not everything needs a grand explanation. Hell, they could just say they always existed but we didn't get to use it because the games didn't allow us to at the time.
Good thoughts on the idea correlating with what happened in the anime. The anime, after all, was title "Pokemon XYZ" for a reason, because at the time they were expecting to release the follow-up game.
Mega Dragonite giving off some Lance vibes, except color scheme blue 👍👍👍
what would Diantha's ancestor's role be?
Love the dragonite one the wing looking like a super hero cape is a nice touch
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Wait does that mean that the sycamore ancestor wears cosplay based on which legendary he summons ?/j
I am your true fan watching you since 2021
Love your Pokemon content and I am a Pokemon too love the content that you create
Thanks so much for watching!! 😄
I don't remember you talking about the mega forms of Milotic and Noivern, but I gotta say I appreciate the thought of bringing another Kalos Pokemon to the Mega Evolution pedestal! I knew immediately Mega Dragonite looked like a superhero as soon as I saw the wings shaped like a cape; they also look like waves like you see from the ocean. I would also like to see more on the ancestors of previous characters we've known about at some point in a future video.
Hoops, I gotta say, while I definitely enjoy your videos, you have made more of an impact on my 5 y/o. He's seen one video of yours with me and absolutely gets a kick out of "smell ya later."
Continue to be awesome!
Why does everyone assume it's going to take place in the past just because it's a Legends game?
The redevelopment can literally just be us building the five terrariums or new shops and such
bruh
Because of the definition of the word legend
Interesting theory but what about dark mega evolutions, mega evolution (in the show) requires a pure bond between trainer and Pokémon but what if both trainer and Pokémon are pure evil, the dark megas could be like the noble Pokémon in pla but their goal is to stop the redevelopment of lumiose city, they could have unique forms and stats
I agree with the boss pokemon being out of control megas that we have to quell but no way are they going to make all but one a dragon type. That’s too easy, and honestly disappointed you didn’t add variety to it
No man, I think ZA is gonna be in the future with what we see in the trailer: the cyber and future animations and reconstruction program. Now I do think that we could get told of Kalos’ ancient past, it’s just the game won’t be in the past but 100-200 years in the future. Descendants of Team flare would still be the villains or maybe a descendent of Diantha.
Meanwhile I think the game could be based on both the past and the future. I don't know what exactly led me to think that, but the idea of us being in both eras and trying to influence events could be interesting.
@GoinGreninja I think you're kind of right here. I noticed that hologram-like feel to the trailer and wondered what that was all about. From what I remember from X/Y, the city is quite modern and pokemon always has a bunch of tech (like pokeballs or the storage pc) that aren't heavily explained. Maybe we'll get to see the development of that modern tech?
@@ryanparrott6866 I don't think it's a mystery big enough that needs explanation above everything else. I want to know more about Zygarde, if anything. I want to know why it upholds order and what kind of a mess happened for there to be a legend about it, whether it's in the past or in the future.
@@GoinGreninja I doubt it. I see people talk about that a lot and while I see their point, I believe it’ll be in the future
@@jockson7574 I said I believe in both, not that past is definitely the one. But if you've to ask me which one I prefer, it'd definitely be the future, because it makes for more interesting storytelling.
"More Mega evos are are happening because the Ultimate wrapon happened more recently in the past"
Only by like 100 sooner than present. There is still thousands of years seperating the speculative time and the great war.
To help give perspective, about 100 years ago was cowboys in the USA, about 3000 years ago the bronze age and about 500 years before the Pyramids were built.
Not all that much closer to the ultimate weapon.
I doubt that it is only going to take place in the past sense the trailer looked mostly futuristic looking and there was a person sitting near a Furfrou that had what looked like a smartphone. If this took place either a short amount of time before or after Legends: Arceus, there won’t likely be any phones that you can take along on your person.
My question is if they are bringing back most if not all megas, what are they gonna do about mega Slobro. You might think "why would he be any different?" at first but realize he's a special case. I'm 99% sure he's the only Pre-Existing mega with a regional variant. Now Gamefreak/Nintendo may go the poring way of not making Galar slobro not obtainable in game. But imagine if they kept it in. That's why I think this game's gimmick is going to be giving regional variant megas. Its weird because Galar Slobro isn't a separate mon. It's STILL A SLOBRO. So would the Slobronite still work?? Its not the same a as a mega Gmax Charizard X with a Z move. Slobro is just a base mon with a different form. Not an extra form thru some sort of mechanic transformation ie megas/gmax. Soo am I crazy or do yall think i have a point? I would love to see Mega persian, Ninetales, goodra, sandslash ect.
I think you should make a video of the future and how that could be included into the plot as well
I think you are actually predicting a lot, can't wait to see what the game is going to be like
What about diantha....?
Also i wanna collect zygarde cells. They need to tie in Alola somehow, too
Honestly I'd like the ancestors of Dexio/Sina to be the player characters of the game and ancestors of Calem/Serena to get a role similar to that of Adaman/Irida
Personally, I think it would be interesting to see Diantha’s ancestor be the main villain the same way Volo, who Cythnia’s ancestor was the main villain. Since both are champions, it would be nice for both ancestors to be the main villains of their respective games
Diantha's ancestor being an impossibly hard boss like Volo would give Diantha the redemption she deserves
@@HoopsandHipHop diantha's *descendant, legends z a is future
@@pikablu2000I don’t think the term “Legends” is a future game
And the “Redevelopment” plan is for a future thing I feel like there will be Time travel but there won’t be entirely based in the future
I wonder how catching wild Pokemon would work? I’m guessing each district of the city has its own wilderness with different Pokemon that you have to go through to get to the other city districts. Since the city undergoing renovations they may be inaccessible at first so you have to go around on the outside to get to them.
I definitely like what you did with Lysandre's Ancestor and Clement's ancestor , making them Kalos royal family lore researcher and designer respectively, and I hope this is just the straight plot of the game (I thought it was that good and I think something similar to this concept will be the actual plot of the real game based on what we saw in Legends- Arceus). But, I would add one thing to Lysandre's ancestor to tie him closer to the story and closer to Clemont's ancestor. I would make the ancestor of Lysandre the benefactor of the redesign program while Clement's ancestor is designing the new city.
Only thing I'd change is giving far more pokemon megas, and not making them all dragon type
I honestly hope we get more kalos Pokémon and regional variants Kalos deserves more than just 73 Pokémon
I couldn’t agree more
Like 362-450 new additional kalos Pokémon
Most of them, new common Pokémon, but yes a lot of regional variants too as well as new pseudo legendary Pokemon lines, a legendary sub trio and the legendary Pokemon that has a name that starts with the letter A and is the counterpart of zygarde
We making it to the Haussman Renovation with this one, boys
THE FURFROU IN THE TRAILER IS A ROBOT: Change my mind!
I would love to see pretty much every Kalosian Gym Leader ancestor than just Clemont's ancestor as an architect and electrician. What do you think of these potential ancestors?
Viola's ancestor as a photographer
Grant's ancestor as a paleontologist
Korrina's ancestor as a mail deliverer
Ramos' ancestor as a painter
Valerie's ancestor as a fashionista
Olympia's ancestor as a fortune teller
Wulfric's ancestor as a chef
as a plmm glazed fan, mega noivern is great
Given that it's a "Legends" game, it makes sense for it to take place in the past.
9:27 That’s actually a scary thought, because if this game adds 10 mega evolutions and is set 200 years ago, that would mean a Mega Evolution atrophies an average of once every 20 years, meaning that as many as 150 mega evolutions may have atrophied and that mega evolution itself would eventually go extinct (wait, was the ultimate weapon fired 3000 years ago? I can’t look it up now).
The Kalos starters are going to be in the wild just like how gen 4 starters were in the wild in Legends Arceus.
I'd rather see a regional variant of Dragonite over a mega, with these stats
Water / Dragon
HP: 100
Attack: 75
Defence: 105
Sp Atk: 120
Sp Def: 105
Speed: 95
Warning! A banger video dropped!!
🚨WARNING🚨
Good idea and theories but I don’t know about the past part.
I could imagine a colress ancestor to connect to unova since the clemont ancestor and colress ancestor have a similar goal also each kalos starter should have a battle bond form
Mega Evos for the last couple sets of the TCG block!
They should make Mega Charizard A too
Trying to think what may be new for mega evolution in ZA, like maybe mega evolution could actually combine with certain pokemon evolution to create an entirely new pokemon, it could be the same for the kanto and hoenn starters, they evolve holding a megastone, and could actually create an new evolution
Please give use the milotic (water/fairy) mega we deserve!!
the mage delafox omg i love her
I think There is already one mega dragon noble Pokemon(Flygon)
I hope Mega Luxray
Something I think would be cool is if, at some part of the story, the project manager for the redevelopment started acting strangely for no obvious reason in a "Self-Sabatoge" kind of deal, lashing out when he says somethings wrong when the workers were following the original plan and hadn't been notified, people getting demoralized due to this shift in personality and some higher ups thinking it's just stress getting to him, until the professor suddenly goes missing and the manager doesn't seem bothered in the slightest. The professor is missing until the player finds the professor held hostage in the managers home. The professor had found out what's wrong with the manager and had to be silenced to prevent him talking about Anneel (the name I'm giving my concept for an A to zygarde's Z) (a Ice/Electric sea dwelling serpent drawing from jormungandr as the other three are also based on norse myth as well as the name and type choice being made to parallel zygarde as so it can hit zygarde very hard but it can also take hard from zygarde, and anneal meaning like freezing in place or stiffen) I feel like it's shown that Zygarde understands change is just part of life, it understands things can't stay that way eternally, Anneel is the COMPLETE opposite extreme it wants things to stay the same and will do ANYTHING to keep it that way even freezing entire ecosystems and taking them home if things start changing, it was influencing the manager the "self" sabotage was anneel's doing to stop the project, and it would have a more useful ability by normal means but if zygarde is present there is a drawback, congealed aura is an entry based ability like intimidate but lowers speed harshly but also is like an entry hazard (if Anneel is on the field and the opponent is switched the new pokemon is also affected its a powered up sticky web more or less) however if zygarde enters battle things start getting bad for Anneel, zygarde more or less gets both abilities together the first aura break more or less turns congealed aura back on anneel and his speed is dropped by two, the effect being turned on it, and then zygarde instantly goes into 100% mode as long as anneel is present if anneel switches it reverts and it enters again it transforms again. Power construct is still the better ability, though, as it just matters if it enters the field as it more or less is treated as a rider calyrex in that situation. It's just a case of defeat anneel really easy with zygarde, and it could be in the dex that the reason Anneel even lives in the ocean but still is invested in "protecting" kalos is that zygarde drove it to do so as anneel knows it can't win in a head-on fight so it has to employ underhanded tactics to get its way.
Also drawing from lysandre's motives now that I'm thinking about it.
Zygarde is based off of Jormungandr too, but it's not a bad idea, I suppose.
@GoinGreninja I can see that but I always felt it pulled more from Nidhogg then jormungandr.
@@peytonmacmillan9047 I think it's both. They just use both Nidhogg and Jormungandr to convey the same idea this Pokémon has.
The elite four and diantha ancestors could be the old team flare leaders
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
Mega Xernas and mega Yveltal would be best here seeing the zygarde got all those forms so a way to match him would be mega forms or aka their true forms before being put in sleep mode for 3000 years
17:35 I was thinking of Diantha.
Wonder if battle bond is an ancient phenomenon to the kalos region and we'll get maybe like a new version of it here. Or just the return of ash Greninja 🤷 I'm cool with either
I would be down to play it if this is the game we get 😁
I'll be honest if we get this Sycamore ancestor, it would be fun if he would be like Volo, collect the remaining Mega Stones to unlock mega Xerneus and mega Yveltal OR the Zygarde cells to summon perfect Zygarde. (Or both) And once that happens, we go to the top of the Prisim Tower to learn and find out that the Sycamore ancestor is doing all of this to make the pokémon world beautiful just like what Lysander was trying to do in X and Y. When we battle the Sycamore ancestor, he would have 3 rounds
Round 1: mega evolutions of the Legends ZA starters AND the Kalos starters (yes all of these battles have permanent megas kinda like Roaring Moon and Iron Vallient from scarlet and violet)
Round 2: Mega Xerneus and Mega Yveltal
And Round 3 are all of the Zygarde forms
(I know this sounds unfair but if Volo can use he full team of 6 and the Giratina forms, so can Sycamore's ancestor with the megas and the Zygarde forms)
Once the battle's over and Sycamore's ancestor gets arrested by the International Police, you can go back to the Prisim Tower to battle and catch Zygarde in it's perfect form just like Giratina in it's origin form like in legends Arceus. And for fun, once you catch Zygarde, it'll drop it's core which allows you change Zygarde's forms like the grecious orb. And as for Xerneus and Yveltal, you can go to the Pokémon Village to catch Xerneus, and you can to the top of the Tower of Mastery to catch Yveltal. And once you catch them, they'll drop their mega stones and that's how you can get mega Xerneus and mega Yveltal. So that's it for how to get the Aura Trio. What do you think 🤔😁
What if the Lysandre ancestor is Lysandre himself and it's revealed he is as old as AZ?
He is the descendant of AZ’s brother
These character designs look so good. Funny to see some « traditional » French clothing elements. Also these megas look amazing, but I hope Dragonite is a regional variant and not necessarily a mega. And an evolution for Noivern.
I think we could see some other ancestors of characters, like Fantina and Looker, in Legends ZA
I don't think the kalos starters are getting megas... I think they'll be getting battle bond alternatives and we'll see the return of ash-greninja; this will give them a shot to re-use the SV mechanic of mind syncing and you'll probably have to reach a certain level of bonding in order for the kalos starter to battle bond. Which can also explain AZ's floette cuz it's unique to AZ and has achieved ultimate battle bonding.
I like to imagine that if sycamore ancestor concept is real, it would be cool if game freak took mega evolutions entries (like garchomp or aerodactyl ones that are pretty dark) and base sycamore’s ancestor character design, for example, precise how he doesn’t give a shit about pokemons and he is ready to do anything for research or maybe gaining power, in a world where pokemon and humans aren’t so friendly, imagine what a trainer with the power of mega evolution could do
I feel like story-wise, if it does take place in the past, this game will tell us why so much of Zygarde was missing from Kalos during X/Y and was instead in Alola
Doubt it. Zygarde probably traveled to Alola closer to the present
i think johto starters and johto pokemon deserve some love bc the hoen starters got megas maybe the gen 2 ones too?
Hey Hoops, I was wondering how long was it before the last of sword and shield mythicals came to the game before the new games? Like bdsp and legends Arceus.
Well, Sword and Shield only had one Mythical in Zarude, and it was revealed shortly after the games came out in 2020. However, there were multiple legendaries that came out along with the DLCs, the last of which was released shortly before Legends Arceus and BDSP were revealed.
@@HoopsandHipHop I meant the 1s that u had to go to GameStop and I think target for the cards. Like marshadow, volcanion and genesect. Or the raid for zeraora.
can't wait to see good guys team flare
It’s funny that all the boss Megas have wings except milotic
I still argue that the fact this game could be set in the past because of one similar event in our history, is just restrictive. PLA had a reason to be set in the past, Sinnoh literally has the themes of ‘Space’ and ‘Time’, and their respective Legendaries.
Kalos does not. Why would this game have to be set in the past then, when it wouldn’t make much sense? At least no time travel should be involved, so how do you justify the setting in the past then?
This isn’t to you Hoops, I love the work, just something I bring up when I see settings being discussed around Paris.
Agreed. The idea of a legend, though usually attributed to the past, doesn't mean it has to stick to it. A legend can be born when incredible stuff happens and that can happen in the modern day as well, especially if Zygarde is helping the people move into a new era or what have you.
Personally, I"m not against there being future elements in this game at all. It's something I even speculated on when the game was first revealed. It's just, to me, the real world events line up with Legends: Z-A identically in terms of the premise, and this is something we also saw Legends Arceus do, which makes it very convincing imo.
There's also the fact that, for what it's worth, the title "Pokemon Legends" implies something to do with the past, since that's what legends are, a record or retelling of certain events. Having something that technically hasn't happened yet because its set in the future be described as a "legend" is a bit counterintuitive.
That said, those are just my arguments for why I feel like the past is more likely as a base setting. I'm all for the future stuff if it happens though!
I feel the need to specify I doubt this means the game is set in the other extreme, the future, just because I don’t believe it’s set in the past. Modern day legends exist, and their more colloquially called ‘Urban Legends’.
To say all Legends specifically have to be in the past, just because legends are usually events set long, long ago, is just a bit of a narrow view, is all I really am saying.
I mean we could consider AZ an Urban legend, as while we know h from the story in XY his real identity, he’s also just a giant, a wandering homeless vagrant that eventually drew the attention of Lysandre, because he rediscovered the Legends of ancient Kalos as passed down in history books.
We could be rediscovering the rest of the legend, surrounding Zygarde, and making a modern legend, that will be told in the future. Legends don’t stop being made.
Heck, think of the fact Champion Red is a modern day Legend, in his own right with everything that happened around him. Legends are still being made.
I still don't understand why people keep saying the game will be set in the past when there is literally an NPC in the trailer seen using what looks like a phone sitting at the cafe next to the Furfrou. It is taking place after XY, not before.
