Pokemon Legends Z-A might be in trouble…

- To celebrate Pokemon Day, we got our annual Pokemon Presents! But this time we got a very special announcement for a new game by Game Freak: a sequel to Pokemon X/Y, and another entry in the Pokemon Legends series; Pokemon Legends Z-A! This game will be entirely set within Lumiose City in the Kalos region! Although I can't wait see new mega evolutions, see the new mechanics this game offers, and how it evolves the Pokemon Legends formula, there's still something about it that's rubbing me the wrong way...

It’s a Pokémon. Buy it and play it.
with legends arceus it did say it was early in the year which they didnt say now so i kinda doubt its early
annoyed xy got touched before they cleaned up their act
@@cadetsparklez3300 i think its better to wait for them to show some type of gameplay but i wouldnt be suprised gamefreak do be gamefreak
See, I saw the lack of game play as a good thing. I take that as they're still working on it so when we first see it, it'll make a good impression. On top of that, there's the possibility it does come out early next year AND is more polished than you think. Development could be fast tracked by using what Arceus built as a base for this game. Meaning faster development but also expanding on what was there.
Obviously it's still to early to tell, but I'm optimistic.
yeah thats definitely a good way of looking at it! I'm just trying to keep my expectations in check with previous pokemon games
@@GettingMadz true, I'm not saying any of this without at least a BIT of doubt. I just personally would rather be optimistic than pessimistic, you know?
And this is how Gamefreak snags their next baited diehards
@@Balbaneth stay mad
@@GettingMadz Another way to look at it, if it is also releasing on "Switch 2" in the same vein as BotW was dual released on both WiiU and Switch, they would want to most likely show the "Switch 2" version for multi-purpose advertising, but "Switch 2" hasn't been officially announced yet.
Honestly I kinda think the opposite weirdly. The fact that they aren't revealing their cards may mean they're developing it for later in 2025 and we'll get a gameplay trailer in like 3-6 months or something. Just a random, estimated guess though.
So excited to revisit the Kalos Region!
agreed ol' chum! :]
yoo kai, i know you from jsal, had no idea you were into pokemon lol but yeah im really excited for this new game
Just so you know, the game takes place entirely inside the city. You’re not revisiting kalos, you’re revisiting lumiose city.
@@bakes1324 We've seen 0 gameplay, so no one can even try to say that seriously.
@@pokejedi5184 Nintendo of America said that so you’re wrong
I am fully convinced that the only reason it's coming out next year and not this holiday season is because the "Switch 2" is delayed to early next year, as the rumors say. I think if the switch 2 was coming out this year, Z-A would also come out this year.
Or because it is a Legends game and the first Legends game came out in January. This isn't the first time we've had break years.
So switch 2 being delayed gave more time for this legends game 💀 true or not, thank god Z-A isn't for 2024
Doubt it’ll come out for the Switch 2. Pokemon is usually slow when releasing a game in the new console
Or because they’re actually taking their time and not rushing the game. Which is good.
@internetkat4461 the difference is that ds to 3ds and 3ds to Switch won't be as big of a leap from switch to switch 2
How did you make this so quickly? I’ve seen animators do stuff this fast before but damn
I am speedy
Live2D probably! There's plenty ways to do smaller animation with a voice recognition software.
I think it’s a vtuber model or something of the sort
Yeah that’s fair enough great video anyway (got a response from the man himself)
I'm guessing the animation is premade and turned into something like a Vtuber model. So it's just a one time effort for potentially thousands of videos.
Back when Legends Arceus was announced it was clearly stated to be released in early 2022 but with ZA there’s no indication as to when in 2025 it would release so hopefully it’ll be around the holidays
here's hoping!
My theory if continuing with the current pattern I think legends za will release in the early months of 2025 while the next mainline entry will happen holiday of 2025 as it seems the release cycle of the current games have been about 3years apart.
Sw/sh:2019 holiday
PL/A: early 2022
S/V:2022 holiday
My estimated prediction
PL/Z-A: early 2025
Next mainline: 2025 holiday
It 100% won't be, otherwise they had no reason to not announce it for next year's Pokemon day and still have a full hype cycle
If it was a new generation with a whole lot to show possibly but it's a region we already know and a sub series we already know
Holidays 2025 is too too far away
Thats very true. It gives me mixed feelings😅
As Michael of MANDJTV said: "Kalos will have its day."
And he was totally right

@@Blehcat11177disgustingly underrated comment
@@Blehcat11177you bastard *crying*
I REALLY hope Game Freak doesn't mess this up. X & Y was my first introduction to Pokemon so Gen 6 has a special place in my heart. Not only that but a Kalos sequel was probably the most demanded Pokemon game ever, it's now confirmed to be a Legends game, AND they have to make sure they get the Mega designs right. There is so much hype around this project that their previous works make it very worrisome that they will not meet those expectations. I hope that they do but as always I will keep myself low to the ground before settling comfortably.
Several factors to note:
• The trailer was made in the same style the X and Y trailers came when announced, with a slight Legends twist.
• GameFreak has three teams, non-pokémon, Pokémon Dev A, and Pokémon Dev B. Development Team B made Legends Arceus, and likely began working on this the moment they finished that game as GameFreak isn’t known for giving workers breaks…
• Legends Arceus was given an early 2022 release date when announced, this is just 2025, meaning the release date is likely beyond Q1, prolly Q2 at earliest.
So the lack of gameplay when we’re further than a year away from release, especially given the early Legends Arceus trailer got crapped on for its gameplay quality, is a good sign. So glad the game might have 3 and a half years of development time.
Or they’re just gonna make a crappy sequel of a beloved game know we’re gonna buy it either way hopefully this won’t be the case

Considering game freaks reputation, not a huge leap
@duck662 sure, entirely possible. we also haven't seen gameplay, so speculation either way is pointless, and this video is purely meant to farm views and engagement. which to be fair, worked. i am commenting, after all.
@@DumplingDoodle I gotta admit I love your honesty.
I think the fact that the trailer showed no gameplay is a sign that they're not rushing it this time. I would say the game will come up in the latter half of 2025. I also think it might coincide with a switch 2 release
I feel like when it comes to the release date situation, when PLA was announced it was given a distinct “early 2022” release timing, along with about 5 minutes of gameplay. Whereas with PLZA, they’re giving a broader 2025 release timing and no gameplay for a reason, I think they really just wanted to show the fans what’s next for the series and we might not even get anymore info until this day next year. Honestly my guess is we could be getting a summer Pokémon game (maybe like July or august?), but really hoping for holiday 2025 to get the absolute best product possible!
Edit*** I meant I’m feeling like PLZA could be releasing summer 2025, not a game for this summer haha
They wanted to release Legends ARceus while it was still Pokemon's 25th anniversary year. There is no such requirement for this, unless 28 has a significance in Pokemon that has not been brought to my attention yet. Also, the reason they showed this trailer now was that they ahd t end the Presents on Pokemon Day with a big announcement, they've been doing this at least since the 25th anniversary, not sure about before.
If there really was a new game planned for this summer, they would have announced that, not Legends Z-A. It doesn't make sense to announce a project for 2025 when you also have something for 2024 that hasn't been announced yet. There's a whole marketing campaign to plan ahead of time and execute and that whole process usually lasts at least 4-5 months before release. You can't do all that last minute. I think this year we won't have any new Pokémon game, which is a good thing. It means they can focus all their resources on what's coming in 2025-
@@Merione I meant I’m feeling like PLZA could release summer 2025 I just worded it badly 😭
@@Merionealternatively, they could be releasing a smaller game at the end of this year that they plan to announce over the summer, maybe more games on NSO or something
I didn’t watch the Pokémon Presents, thanks for summing it up!
No worries! Glad you enjoyed my recap :]
Bro it’s been like 4 hours, let me be happy
if you think this is bad look up Verlisify
Legends Arceus was specifically marketed to come out early 2021, this game was just marketed for 2025, not early 2025
The fact they’ve stated the entire game will take place within the walls of Lumiose City is kind of worrying. Like that entirely eliminates the opportunity to explore the region (Powerplant, Train Station, ect)
Think of it like Midgar in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. That's basically what this is and this isn't some small city, this will be huge and they have even said this game is very ambitious!
@@johnfinklestein6910 well keep in mind the padding was there because of them wanting to stretch out the original story since it was a remake whereas this is an entirely original game with a new story!
@@friendlyotaku9525certainly does make me wonder though how wild pokemon will work if yer stuck in a single city, unless they give us a huge wild area like pla
kind of a missed opportunity. i would love to see parts of the kalos region.
Well keep in mind that luminos city is very very large, hopefully large enough to be enjoyable to play in
While I find the mega evolutions return great news, I was honestly hoping a legends game that would take place in older time periods of pokemon.
Which was why I was hoping for a Johto regional game as that game was filled with historical ideas we could have seen.
while that makes sense, historically the time hisui was set it was suprisingly around the same and the development of paris. With the city description including "a city for pokemon and people" or whatever, it makes sense to assume the harmony between pokemon and people is a new thing (as brought around by hisuis pokeballs). Assuming hisui truly is the first site pokeballs were invented,it'd be hard to make a pokemon game set before then unless your pokemon walk with you everywhere and never enter a ball (which is bold even if you don't take into account obedience of pokemon outside a ball)
game been in development.. this is just a reveal trailer.. why would they show gameplay for a game that is almost 2 years away. esp thats gone be for a console that isnt released or announced yet.
It’s a standard reveal trailer. Temper your expectations until the gameplay trailer, but no reason for concern. They’re just saying 2025 to give themselves the freedom to push it back a few months if they have to. They’re just making sure the gameplay is where they want it to be before showing it off.
How can the Switch 2 be “delayed” if it was never officially announced?
pokemon Z is real is what really matters here also first
truth
I think your concerns are valid. I share a lot of them, it could very well be in January. This is copium, but it could be possible that they can't really share gameplay right now, because if they do, they would sort of reveal the Switch 2, if that makes sense. Like, the game looking way too good for what game freak is able to achieve with the current Switch. Another thing is that people was shitting on Legends Arceus when that was announced, because it looked like it would run like ass, but on release it did have some performance improvements and looked a bit better. So I think they just learned that lesson.
The thing with this is that last year we only really got DLC for SV and we seemingly arent getting anything this year, which means they may be focusing entirely on this (Not counting Project Bloom, of course), and if that's the case, I'm cautiously optimistic. There's a LOT of potential here.
The fact that this game is coming next year and that there's no other remake filling the gap for this year means that 2024 will be the first year in a VERY long time in which there's going to be no new Pokémon games, either by Game Freak or by some other third party, and that's very unusual. They usually aim for at least one if not two games per year, be they remakes, mainlines or other kind of major releases.
Based on this and on the fact that SV news was dealt with extremely quickly at the very beginning of the Presentation and was never mentioned again, my theory is that Legends Z-A was always planned to release in 2025, but there was probably something else related to SV planned for 2024 (maybe a new DLC?), but given the poor performance on those games they decided to just scrap that project entirely and announce this now, hoping that people would get excited for this new big thing and forget what happened with gen 9. This would explain the lack of gameplay in the teaser (because it was announced earlier than planned, so they still don't have much to show) and gives me hope that the game will actually run smoothly this time, since they don't have anything else to work on for 2024 (except gen 10, of course, but that was always gonna happen next year no matter what).
I think gen 10mis prolly coming out in 2027/28, so if they dont rush PLZA theybwould start working in Gen 10 in 2025 , and if they dont rush it it might come out aroimd 2027/28
Both SV and PLA specified a general window time frame instead of just “x year” so I don’t think it’s going to be too early next year, I just hope they actually let it cook this time.
Last Gen I played was 2 (Silver) everything after that I didn't want to play, then Soul Silver came out and I was through the moon. After SS again I didn't play but my childhood draged me back (Mega man X, Dragon ball Z and Pokemon) to witness Gen 6 so I had to get X and prayed for Z but my prayers weren't answered... TILL NOW WITH POKEMON LEGENDS Z-A and I know who the main character is gonna be!

Obviously they started on it the moment it was announced.

@@KINTOKI_EX😑that’s now how announcing a game works take FF7 Rebirth for example that game has been in development for 5 years and it was in Development before FF7 Remake it started NOV 2019. just because they announce a trailer doesn’t mean they are now starting on this they are hard at work on this already and have been probably since PLA was out

@@outrightflame4280yeah i know. youre so smart thanks for schooling me on something im already aware of.
(this is also sarcasm in case you need help with that too)
I feel bad for the developers of Pokemon from Game Freak and Nintendo in the Pokemon Company, they're being constantly rushed by their superiors, but hopefully the higher-ups changed their mind, realizing that the times have changed, and the 3 year dev period that worked just fine from Gen 1 and so on, doesn't work as well in the modern day.
I think those concerns are completely valid. That said, the first trailer for legends arceus got very mixed responses because the gameplay showed crappy framerate but was fixed in the second trailer. Maybe that among other reasons is why we didn't see gameplay for legends z-a.
6:37 imma stop you right there, I checked and seeing the legends arceus trailer it said “coming out early 2022” but legends z-a says “coming out 2025”
:0!
@@GettingMadzso it could come out ideally in late spring-any time in summer. Imagine if it releases in autumn or winter lol, or in December 31st xd, if it’s releasing in late 2025, then the most likely release date would be November, to keep up with the tradition. Hoping it looks really pretty.
You do need to remember that the mainline dev team does not handle Arceus and the other Spinoff games. So have a bit of faith in them, hopefully they make the game look way better than their first entry, and still functional of course.
Just, have faith in Legends, cheer it on, be there for it! Because we all know they're probably going to make this their last legends spinoff game ever. Knowing TPCs history with the rest of their beloved spinoff games... (Colusseum, Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, Conquest, Pinball, Stadium,
Trozei)
Let’s see.
Leakers got 2022 wrong
2023 wrong
2024 wrong
Not wasting time with them. Especially when they are doing the same with Switch 2.
I think it'll come out late 2025 this time around. Yeah they did something similar with Legends Arceus, but with that game I could immediately tell that someone at pokemon just had no faith in the game. It was revealed in the same showcase as BDSP, and the impression to me was that of "Here's the exciting nostalgia trip you've all been wanting for a decade! And also this new thing too I guess".
Like it was BDSP that got the holiday release and a ton of coverage on the game's content, even though it's a remake and we already knew what would be in it. Meanwhile in Legends Arceus we knew literally nothing about it until right before it's release in January of all months, and less than a month after we learned of Scarlet and Violet (for pokemon it was literally just a filler game sandwiched between them and given no room to breathe).
This time it kinda feels like they know that people are excited for a new legends game, so much so that they're willing to hype it up at least a year in advance from the name alone. It feels more confident, which makes me think they'd actually be willing to have it be their holiday release this time around, and not just dump it out ASAP to announce gen 10 that same year instead. Though of course, they could do that and still deliver an underwhelming game. An extra year is a lot for gamefreak, but for any normal game it wouldn't be nearly enough
Oh yeah, also with Legends arceus they literally specified early 2022 in the announcement (something they didn't do here).
Then maybe they can do Gen 10 in 2026 and this they can get more time to work on it.
My biggest issue with the news about this game is that the devs said the entire gsme is only going to be inside the city with no open world. It feels like its just gonna be a detective pikachu like game to me.
I think this creator and people need to know that they dont work on games when they get announced. They have already been working on the game for a while. They just announced it to people with a release date.
My thoughts are that I'm excited for the game, but also kind of mixed. X/Y didn't get a "3rd version" to expand the Kalos region's content, so it's good to see that Legends Z-A could potentially be that version. I loved Legends Arceus in the gameplay department (seamlessly aiming Pokeballs, fast paced battles, etc).
However, me being mixed is from the bad optimization in Scarlet/Violet. Hopefully with this game releasing next year means that Game Freak will invest more time developing the in-game engine as well as evolving the gameplay (controls, updated online like the PSS system in the original X/Y, etc).
Good video as always. 👍
XY got shortened so that ORAS could soar, and now XY is getting it's time be loved
@@GiovanniOPWhile I do love those Gen 3 remakes I don’t think that XY was bad or lazy or unfinished. It had the National Dex, Pokémon Amie, PSS (player search system), Friend Safari, and a pretty nice Lumiose City post game with Looker.
ORAS was only better because it carried over the great things from XY and put them into the remakes and added more Mega Evo’s and other features.
@thearchitects8829 That's a good way to put it. I liked ORAS (especially with Primal Kyogre's dope primal design). Just wish they didn't remove the battle frontier.
@@princesspikachu3915 I loved x and y, first Gen I started playing, just feels bad knowing that nearly every other game has so much more to do. Only extra stuff x and y really got was a looker episode and the Battle Maison
@@princesspikachu3915 it objectively was unfinished. there is sooooo much cut gen 6 content, it's kind of insane. they clearly had much much bigger plans for kalos
Just gonna say I love the Mii News opening
Here are the islanders’ thoughts on the matter:
I love the game is coming out in 2025 because the reason scarlet and violet where bad quality is because they rushed the game and now leaving this year blanc and then releasing a huge pokemon game with mega evolution I hope the Kalos starters get mega evolution because ash Greninja doesn't make sense when you are not ash
So I am happy with pokemon legends Z-A
And I never got to finish x and y because my 3ds broke 😭😭😭
For me this will probably end up being my favorite Pokemon game. I grew up with Kalos and I’m just so hyped for this
It makes sense that one would assume jan 2025 for ZA given pla but they've specifically left the timetable to literally Jan 1 2025- Dec 31 2025 and I have a feeling they did that on purpose. As of right now, it's a good possibility that this could be next year's big game until they say otherwise.
Yeah I mean they specifically said “early 2022” for PLA announcements
I love the little boxart thing on your thumbnails so much.
COME ON! ALREADY?
THE GAME WAS JUST ANNOUNCED
THE ONLY THING SHOWN WAS THE REGION AND THE TITLE
Right?? Sticks in the mud.
2:27 sun and moon didn't get sequels, ultra sun and moon are the 3rd enhanced version of sun and moon split into 2
Mind you it has been 3 years since the last Legends game and that said Legends game was held in high regard by the fans. I can understand if showed gameplay and then your concerns would be valid but it hasn't. I think it won't release till after January of 2025. I'm gonna say.... March the earliest.
personally i'd say march the earliest
Might be in trouble? It just started existing!... Well I guess a lot of Pokemon stuff has been in trouble just by existing. Alright, go on.
Maybe they realized every time they show early gameplay it gets cooked for how it looks? Maybe they wanted to have one game announcement that didn’t split the internet in half.
honestly i just hope that the shiny hunting is as good as it was in legends arceus
You miss the difference tho. We don't have another game. Plus they didn't say early 2025 (for PLA they said early 2022). So with that info right now we have to expect this game at least don't coming out until march 2025 or so. Maybe even late 2025. The next pokemon presents will show how that will maybe alter or not.
I'm personally more concerned about Gen 10 if it would be revealed next year for end of 2025. I REALLY hope it's for 2026...
The difference between the legends Arceus reveal and the legends Z-A reveal is is that in the legends Arceus reveal trailer it said early 2022 and now it only says 2025
I thought it said 2025
@@shissona9572it did
2025
*2025
Oh yeah didn't notice that mistake. Thank you all very much
SV didn't have gameplay in the first trailer either right?
Just the security guard guy discovering a painting with the 3 starters on it?
Now, I can’t deny the possibility the game could be early next year, but if we’re talking being realistic… the fact we have no gameplay gives off major vibes that it’s a later release for next year. And stick with me, I’ll circle back to caution in the optimism.
The fact we only got an announcement with no gameplay gives me a strong impression they didn’t have a working build for the game, which in turn would imply it’s slated for mid-to-late 2025. And this is a combination of a gut feeling and looking at other past games, but 2026 is Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. And I’m very doubtful Gen 10 ALSO releases next year in 2025 leaving their big 30th anniversary to have at best DLC or a cash grab Gen 5 remake. After all, their 20th anniversary was Sun and Moon, a brand new generation that also paid a lot of tribute to Gen 1.
So my line of thinking is Legends Z-A is their one mainline release for next year, and will be a mid-to-late release, as said. My gut feels like September-to-November as their holiday title, but I could just as easily see a summer release. And then, in 2026, we get Gen 10 to celebrate the 30th anniversary on a new console in a big way.
Of course, as stated above, we’re not out of the woods yet on rushed releases being possible. The mainline release during the 25th anniversary was BDSP, after all, and while I did say I doubt they’d do a cash grab Gen 5 remake… they could still do it and have Gen 10 the year before. And there’s also just the chance the game is still an early release and they just withheld gameplay footage for the sake of building suspense or something.
I really don’t think they’re going to pull a repeat of Legends-Scarlet and Violet, though. Z-A is very likely to use some of the groundwork of Arceus, so there’s no reason to believe the game wouldn’t have shown gameplay footage if it was an early release. And saving Gen 10 as a Switch 2 exclusive for the 30th anniversary seems too juicy for them to pass up. I’m gonna stress I think there’s every possibility of a rushed release, but I’m predicting Z-A next year and Gen 10 the year after.
My prediction is that PLZA is the 2025 game, I’m not sure when it’ll release but mid year or later would be my guess.
Regardless it’ll be the game for the year and generation 10 will be announced for Pokemon Day 2026 to celebrate the 30th anniversary and released for that holiday season. I’m guessing BW & B2W2 remakes or follow ups will come out after between 2027-2030.
The difference is that it seems Pokemon isn’t producing a big game at all this year, going back to when Arceus was coming out was BDSP, while yes it was worked on y ILCA, they still used Game Freaks recourses while they were working on Arceus
BDSP is the Moana 2 of Pokemon games.
I think the lack of gameplay is a good sign, look at GTA 6, that’s been worked on for almost a decade and the gameplay leaks looked nowhere near complete, if you rush to complete a visually appealing build just for a trailer it might negatively effect those vital early stages of development, by all means they should take their sweet time showing us what it’s all about
This is also the generation that introduced the new fairy typing. It would be cool if we get some side story that delves into the origins of fairy pokemon.
X and Y were my first games, so I’m really happy they’re finally getting a (pseudo) third game!
Btw if ur wondering I’m a junior in high school, these games are older than u think.
yeah same, pokemon x was my first pokemon game and im in college.
For me it was gen 4, PLA was great so at least there’s that but was bummed about how 1:1 that BDSP was
Yeah, that's the thing with me is that, even if people get very excited about it, I don't see any gameplay of the actual Legends Z-A game, so I'm being cautious and would laugh if it ends up being garbage as freak...At least I like the creatures so that'll be a plus, but won't be buying Pokemon games anytime soon so, there's that to consider. But I'll be there when it does launch the day before and watch it through the night.
Man, it's the equivalent of the PS1 American Slogan "U R Not E/You Are Not Ready" back in 1995 (Considering this year is the Japanese launch of the PS1's 30th anniversary).
Man, people have mentioned this for years and now they're hyped as heck to see this occur.
I highly doubt it'll release in January, I fully expect this to be an announcement with no gameplay BECAUSE it'll be a holiday release.
Pokemon almost never misses the holiday release window, Legends was the first time in ages, and it seems as though it was very likely due to Covid delays, and BDSP was supposed to release more spread out from Legends.
This will also line up well with the next generation being the year after, which would be 2026, the 30th anniversary of Pokemon
While the 30th annivesary f Pokemn sunds exciting t have a new gen, it also would break the three year standard theyve been using since gen four.
I just hope it isn’t as repetitive as legends arceus, like I still haven’t beaten it just because I got bored
I think they wanted to show as little as posible to get us theorizing and hyped for the next, true, trailer in a month. It is all to build suspense and get us wanting more
Been saying this for a while but I was really hoping for a Legends game that would take place during the skirmish between Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza. Imagine a game where the landscape is literally always chaning, it could be an awesome story
I dont know if I'm excited for ZA tbh, don't get me wrong Kalos deserves a redemption arc but
All the hints towards Unova recently and the references to Johto throughout the Present my expectations were somewhere else
-More Trainer battles
-PvP
-MegaEvolution
-Give us more lore on the war, the weapon etc.
-City Builder that allows you to send pokemon to do special tasks and be useful inside the world and adding variety and freedom to your main hub.
I find it infinitely more likely that this will take place directly after the firing of the weapon and the fallout caused by it. Imagine, rebuilding the City while dealing with the newfound MegaEvolutions roaming about
I can see this being a switch 2 launch title, they dont have a BOTW to pair with the finals as far as we are aware (maybe Metroid prime 4 but that seems too niche at this point) which would explain why we aren't seeing gameplay yet because they're want to do that at the console launch.
i can understand your concern for this game. since the start of the Nintendo 3DS era, GameFreak and The Pokemon Company have been really struggling with both there main and side Pokemon Games so i can understand why some are worried for this game, especially since it's finally address people wanting a new Kalos game that brings back Megas
i’m very curious in how this game’s going to turn out especially if it’s set just in the city, lots of possibilities but also they’ll have to get a bit creative i’d imagine.
I really hope the best for PLZA, this game has me so hyped that im retaking my pokemon X savefile lol
2022 was 14 minutes... it's often very short
Honestly, a lack of gameplay is a good thing. It could mean theyre taking more time on the game rather than rushing it, and considering it's coming out next year seems more likely. Yes, legends arceus came around the begining of the year, hut it didn't also have another game with it. Also even when it did announce LA they stilled showed gameplay
Besides, Legends Arceus is like, the most beloved pokemon game we've ever have in a long time. And that game has like the same amount as the others. There was noticeably flaws, but the game was still fun
Here yall go!!!
1:33 there actually IS a mobile Pokémon TCG game also on PC called the TCG Online and it is official, it was just exclusive to android *tablets* , no idea why but it's nice to see them make a new game more suited for mobile
I'm not gonna lie, the way GameFreak have been doing I just know they fuck Z-A up somehow
Brother, how tf are u this quick??? And this high quality too????
I haven't watched the video because I'm in class right now so I'll edit this when I actually watch it but I have a few things to talk about beforehand.
If the entire game is supposed to take place within Lumiose, then how are we supposed to catch wild pokémon? Cities don't tend to have a huge animal population aside from birds and rats and whatnot, so how is the "gotta catch 'em all" supposed to apply here? Granted we haven't seen any gameplay but it's still something to think about.
Also, when does this game take place? It talks about a city redevelopment plan, and Paris had one in the 1800s, but then the trailer switches to a neon, almost futuristic look. The japanese twitter account apparently stated that "the city looks different from last time," but that honestly doesn't give us much.
I'm still excited but this is looking like it's going to be a MASSIVE jump from previous titles so far, even more than Legends Arceus was.
I have a feeling that while we wont be going trough entire Kalos, we may be getting all the areas around lumiose, specially if there are town building elements to this game we need to get the resources from outside the city, i feel like the tweet talking about how it's gonna be in lumiose is being misinterpreted. Lumiose will be the main area of the game that we will spend time on and the tweet means we are not going to go to other cities and explore the rest of Kalos, maybe we even get a time travel mechanic to have twice the map to explore in a past and future versions of Lumiose, which would also fit with this gen's themes.
Bro were going back 3000 years
Sun and Moon DID NOT get a sequel.
my bad! so what is ultra sun and ultra moon? never picked them up
@@GettingMadzkinda definitive edition like platinum and emerald
I’m pretty happy because y was the 1st Pokémon game I beat good video Madz!
I honestly think maybe it was the first one I beat too, dont ever remember getting to credits in diamond or white
My siblings and I have played Pokemon and Nintendo games since Pokemon launched back in gen 1 in 1998. I still remember the Pikachu evolution line, Dragonair, Articuno, Lapras, and Aerodactyl being my top favorites from Pokemon Stadium 1+2. My sister at this point has bought EVERY single Mainline series and some spin-off Pokemon games from the GameBoy Color, all the way up to the Switch. It's amazing that her copies of older games still work, even after 25+ years.
I forgot, what’s the song at 1:27?
I feel the lack of gameplay might be cause the game is coming in Late 2025, since there are no games scheduled for 2024
Anime movie silently confirmed which will nostalgia bait the hell out of Gerninja (character) and squishy
just hoping and praying they finally add voice acting 🙏😭
gonna have it in the intro and nowhere else istg
“Catching pokemon to build the city…”
Holy shit they’re making palworld. That would be cool but it would be so fucking funny. All those fans calling Palworld “uninspired” only for pokemon to copy mechanics from it 💀
I really, REALLY hope Legends: Z-A is good, but I *cannot* believe it will be a masterpiece. With the current state of Pokémon, I don't think it's possible for Gamefreak to make a "perfect" game. We MAY get a "perfect" Pokémon game, but I don't think it's possible, at least right now, for us to get a "perfect" game that is *also* Pokémon.
I'm excited for this one. The fact that they're skipping a year to release this gives me hope that they're taking their time. And while I was initially upset about not getting gen 5, I'm excited gen 6 can get the conclusion it deserves
I think people hear 2025 and automatically think far into the future and they forget we’re already 3 months into the new year. The soonest this game could come out is in 9 months, which is still not that much time. Realistically I would like this game to come out 2026, late 2025 at the least 🥺
I don't totally believe that development for this new Legends game started this month. With this new announcement, my head cannon is that the reason Pokémon SaV performs so poorly is because during development they spared some of its developers for the new Legends game. (There could be a measure of truth to this or not it's just something to occupy my mind atm until further details are shared.)
I initially thought PLA only took a year to make too but it actually had a 3 year development time. I believe development for PLA started sometime after or between the development of SwSh's DLC.
Google says PLA took 3years to develop so I believe it started early 2020 right around the time the dlc was being made or sometime between the base game's development or release.
It makes sense though because shortly after the game released, official surveys were goin' around asking questions about the wild area and over world Pokémon and something about an open world Pokémon game. (I got one myself, this is just what I can remember of what was asked.)
The one thing that ties this to this generation is that France and Spain are neighbors, but that's the only thing i think links those two from what we currently know
There is a Pokemon TCG app that lets you open packs and compete online, it's just janky. It looks like they found a new developer and are porting it over.
I still don’t get how people thought we were getting Gen 5 remakes this Gen…like guys do we not notice the pattern?
Gen 2 Remakes in Gen 4
Gen 3 Remakes in Gen 6
Gen 4 Remakes in Gen 8
Like we did this in Gen 5 and Gen 7. We’ll get remakes of Unova in Gen 10
Probably because Ingo was in PLA. I think people thought that was foreshadowing a Unovan release, which does make some sense to me. I’m excited that gen 6 finally gets it’s time to shine again, though.
@@stingrae919 this is the exact same as Gen 3 mons getting unique sprites in Gen 5 or Looker being in SUMO. Like it feels like for how much Pokémon tries to be “unpredictable” they still adhere to some patterns
14:20 Hah, I'm laying down on the bed... Wait does that mean it's under-
It’s actually legends A-Z named after the character from X and Y
It’s 100% been in development for a while and the lack of gameplay is probably because if they show you something and it’s not like that in the game people get mad or the opposite if they show gameplay and it’s super buggy people will have low expectations so what do they do? Just don’t show gameplay until the development is closer to being finished the close to releasing (tho u really want some gameplay for this game because of the “will take place entirely within luminous city” and I want to know what they mean by that and how it’s gonna work
You’re absolutely right, its too early for gen 5 remakes
I’m also Simone who didn’t watch the Pokemon direct so thank you so summing it up also not related to the vid but I hope you recover for your sickness soon ❤
This game just got announced of course we have no gameplay yet
legends z-a gonna be the new clash of clans
Hopping on serebii everyday in middle school was what I lived for LOL
IM GETTING MADZ
I think what the Pokémon company did was genius. Remember when scarlet, and violet released, there was so many gen 6 references, and everyone was saying how the dlc, or the next game, was gonna have something to do with gen 6. But as soon as the DLC released everyone was talking about gen 2, and 5 and nobody was talking about gen 6. They truly duped everyone, leakers would have put their fist born on the line, saying that the next game was gonna have something to do with gen 2, or 5.
