    I think Z-A will take place in the late 1800s to early 1900s and its real life inspiration is Haussmann's renovation of Paris.

    Legends Arceus is 19th century coded yeah, it’s a very thinly veiled pokemonified account of the 19th century colonisation of Ezo/Hokkaido by Japan (the real life location Hisui/Sinnoh is based on). With that in mind, I’d suggest it’s quite likely that this ZA also takes place in the mid 19th century, as everything about the trailer from the art style to the “urban development plan” points to this being analogous to the Haussmann Public Development plan of the mid 19th c, which was the wide scale refurbishment of Paris that did away with its medieval architecture and street plan to be replaced the grand boulevards it’s known for today. Ofc there’s no reason game freak necessarily have to play it that close to history, but they have clear precedent with legends arceus and everything we saw in the trailer thus far feels stylistically in sync

    • @LacsiraxAriscal
      @LacsiraxAriscal 10 місяців тому

      @@aquaarmour4924 in this sense, I mean to say that Legends Arceus takes place in a pseudo-19th century setting. It obviously isn’t the literal 19th century, because as far as I’m aware the mainline Pokémon games have never tied themselves specifically to any given timeline or calendar (perhaps the oooooold Mewtwo diary entries that also make Guyana canon to the Pokémon world did? I don’t remember). And even notwithstanding that, the timeline of the Pokémon history is certainly not directly analogous to earths timeline (take the whole of XY’s ancient war stuff). But there are enough signifiers in the game’s presentation that suggest an early industrial period, where it’s clear that that’s the era being suggested while never explicitly stated.
      That’s all “-coded” means, and it’s an idea that predates tumblr and indeed even the concept of queercoding. It’s just a way for a creator to suggest certain ideas and preconceptions in their work without having to explicitly overstate everything, and allowing the work to still be loose and adaptable. You could argue that Paldea is Spanish-coded, for instance; it’s vaguely shaped like the Iberian peninsula, and contains a lot of Spanish architecture and cultural touchstones, so even though the exact geography is incredibly non specific the game still has a very implicitly Mediterranean feel. Compare that to Kanto, which is explicitly named after a region of IRL Japan and is virtually a scaled down version of that area with the city names changed.

    Our hosts seemed to have missed that TCG Live exists. TCG Online was on only on PC and iPad. But within the last year or so, they replaced it with Live, which is available on phones, which is nice, but it's overall a worse app than Online was.
    So will Pocket now replace Live? Our are the two going to coexist?
    They didn't mention anything about the codes that come with physical TCG products being usable in Pocket, so I'm wondering if Pocket will be a game on the side that only features the streamlined battles, as mentioned in the Presents, and Live will remain as the full-featured digital TCG? But it seems a bit cumbersome to have two TCG apps out there...

    I think Legends Z-A takes place in the modern day, or very recent future, but with time travel shenanigans. The trailer shows multiple trainers and people throwing poke balls, meaning it doesn’t take place in the same time period as Arceus. Also the fashion of certain characters (I.e., hairstyles, purses, etc.) looks more modern. I think the “A” in Z-A refers some sort of time travel loop where you go back in time and learn more about Zygarde, AZ, and the ultimate weapon

    Definitely excited for Legends Z-A. One of my thoughts was that Kalos, was the first major Pokemon to introduce a big emphasis on fashion. While I know the fashion customization kind of carried over to following Pokemon Gens, I always felt that they wanted to pinpoint that Kalos was sort of the fashion capital. So in a way, I'm kind of interested in seeing if they really want to keep that reputation and go all out on the fashion options for your character.
    It always feels like we see so many wild fashions for specific characters, which you don't get to dress like to the same level, maybe we'll be able to go crazy with outfits for that one.

    I’m pretty sure the Unown being out of order were just supposed to be a visual gag and not something for us to drive ourselves crazy over.
    Apparently Legends ZA being set in Lumiose is seemingly based on the 1850s redevelopment of Paris, which is intriguing given the trailer seems to hint at something so high tech (although it is just a representation of the concept tbf).
    EDIT: there was another redevelopment in of Paris in the 1960s, which could also work.

    The entire direct was about mobile games with the exception of the last trailer which showed absolutely nothing. You are out of your mind if you think this was a good Pokemon Presents.

    I've never really played Pokemon X and Y, so i guess i have a year or so to get to it. I went from disappointed when the mobile apps updates took more than half the runtime of the presentation, to pretty satisfied with the reveal of the upcoming TCG app, but i definitively didn't expect a new Pokemon Legends announcement and that makes it a really awesome Pokemon Presents. (Maybe a little remake of gen 5 by a third party studio would have been nice to pass the time but can't really complain there...). I'm mostly glad they are giving some time to their developers to try and create a good game.

    Unown have been shown to be an important aspect of the Pokémon universe, not just Johto - particularly with Arceus lore. This legends game is also clearly leaning into letters so it makes sense to have unown despite not having any Johto content.

    I'm surprised they only announced 1 Switch game that's for 2025 especially since they didnt have any new games last year too. They had dlc and detective Pikachu but neither of those I would say full size games. This is the longest break between games I can remember.

    I cannot hide the fact I'm still worried for Nintendo in the months to come. It's true we're getting a new Pokemon Legends game, which is potentially releasing in January 2025, but that game alone won't NEARLY be enough to cover the huge gap between this Summer and the release of the new console in March 2025. After Paper Mario, there will be about 6 months of emptiness, and Nintendo is not allowed to have such a long gap with no games. Not like Sony...

    Why is this a thing? Why does pretending you are playing with trading cards on a phone screen appeal to anyone? Don't they know you can to a google image search and bring up scans of any pokemon card for free? HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT? WHAT IS THIS? Is this the matrix? Are those people in the matrix? Hallucinating that they are playing with real pokemon cards? I am so incredibly confused as to how we got here. Pokemon cards were a dumb enough collectible. Now it's... image files of pokemon cards? Okay. Have fun with that. I'll be playing videogames.
