So what ifff….. they skip gen 2 n 5 remakes for z to finish gen 6. This is why they did gen 2 n 5 dlc in scarlet n violet. Then gen 10 is announced, Australia but it’s called black and white 3. After u beat it up got back to gen 5 (bw2 landscape) think about it cause dlc in sv is gen 2 n 5 theme so gen 10 is brand new(Australia new starters) but also touches 5 n by doing so makes it like gold n silver gen style having two regions that are close by. America and Australia

I find it interesting that in Pokémon GO, the researchers task where you get Zygarde is called “From A to Zygarde”. Now the new game is called “Z to A” (Z-A).
Or it's just because A is the first alphabet and Z the last. From A to Z is a saying (from the beginning to the end) and Zygarde is the "Z" Pokémon. I don't think it's that deep (niantic doesn't know shit)
"Lumiose City" is Paris. Paris is the "City of Lights", and in French "La ville lumière". Also, I happen to have written this a few months ago about the history of Paris, I am copy / pasting it here if that can be interesting for some of you 🙂 Paris was largely redesigned during the Second Empire (1850s, under Napoléon III) by a prefect named Haussmann : large avenues like rue de Rivoli and Avenue de l'Opéra and most of the "Grands Boulevards" were created (erasing mazes of small streets and thousands of houses & buildings), an immense iron-structured covered marketplace was created (Halles Baltard that were in turn demolished in the 1960s), more housing were destructed at the outer limits of Paris (merely shantytowns) to build a gigantic wall to prevent invasion (called in French "les fortifications", which were also in turn demolished to create the ring road called "le périphérique"), the water supply and sewer systems were both completely rebuilt, the creation of the "Buttes-Chaumont" park, the standardization of the new buildings' facades, etc.
From the very limited amount of info we have, the game appears to be about some kind of reconstruction of Lumiose City. It could be based on the reconstruction of Paris under Napoleon III which happened from 1853 to 1870. This gave the city the famous look it has today.
DUDES, I REMEMBER ALL THE THEORIES THAT THE SV DLC’S WOULD TAKE US TO KALOS, MAYBE THAT BLANKED OUT AREA ON THE PALDEA MAP WAS A HINT TOWARDS KALOS GAMES AFTER ALL
I've also heard some people theorizing that the game might be set in the past and future/present. The title "Z to A" and the going from an older art style (and aspect ratio) to a modern one points in that direction. Also, it looks like both Pokemon Legends games take place at pretty similar times, miid 1800ish. In Legends Arceus it looks like the early Meii period, where Japan started to industrialize and move away from smaller villages. In France, industrialization moved slower due to a lack of iron, but by mid to late 1800's Paris under went redevelopment (like lumiose in the trailer)
I'm a BIG fan of the time travel theory, for a couple of reasons. I think one of the biggest indicators that this might be true is the mention of the game taking place "entirely" in Lumiose city. While I'd be fully on board with a urban Pokémon game, I think it's a little too bold for Pokémon and especially its fans. I think we're going to time travel anywhere between the time when Lumiose barely even existed, through centuries or even millennia of its development, and end up in the future where the previously completely wild area is now entirely urbanised. And I also think this is going to be the driving force with introducing Zygarde to the player. Hell, even the trailer seems to have both old-timey and futuristic aesthetics. That being said, I'd love it if the game took place entirely in the future, where Lumiose had expanded to cover most if not all of Kalos. There are endless possibilities with artificial environments and how that would affect the natural ecosystems and by extension, Zygarde.
What's interesting to me are the textures on the Z and A. The Z has cells like Zygarde, but the A has a texture resembling something like plantlife or dragon scales, which could represent growth or Rayquaza, as Mega Rayquaza canonically is the first mega. It's also very interesting how the southern leg of the Z extends into the A like: 1. Replacing the bridge of the A, and 2. A pin through the eye of a needle. Meanwhile, the hyphen sticks halfway outside of the envelope (the general shape of the design), parallel to the leg of the Z. This could just symbolize the flow of time, as Z-A could represent a flow from the end to the beginning, or more succinctly, a visit to the past.
The A is certainly the most interesting part of the design as its lack of oblique movement comparative to the Z and hyphen as well as the different hues and textures creates visual weight on the A, emphasizing that it's the most important element to the design. I think if we find out what the A symbolizes, we can have a much more detailed idea of the direction of this game.
The A also has serifs, while the Z is sans serif. Serifs are typically used to represent something old or mystical. In this case, probably the former. Sans serif is used in very modern-age typefaces, so the Z is certainly looking like it has strong ties to the future while the A has ties to the past. Maybe the texture of the A is both plantlife and dragon scales, implyinf a tie to both the past and the origin of mega evolution with Rayquaza.
Last thing I want to say is the hexagonal cells of the Z resembles a style of urban planning, where cities are designed in hexagons rather than grid. Hexagon style urban planning is great for common areas (i.e. a main city of a small-medium-sixed country), while the grid structure is American and designed for interstate travel and electric power. I'll probably send a theory email with this copy-pasted so it's in one place.
i figured the A was meant to be AZ's weapon. its tall and pointy shaped and has a curved design on the bottom (not the same design but maybe its been stylised in the logo)
That scaled green "A" shone like an emerald when it showed up, and looks too tall and thin to be an A, so it looks more like a Delta for Rayquaza to me. I have a whole comment about it.
3:08 that is honestly a good point: it always felt weird to me after the first game that your character is just left in past Sinnoh/Hisui after accomplishing all these great things. Especially considering you play as like a 15 yr old kid lmao your parents back in current era would probably freak out wondering what happened to you It may not end up being the same character or even a character taken from the present and jettisoned into the past or future, but I like the idea that that same person sent back to Hisui continues to travel (even through time itself) to assist in other developments of the Pokémon world
@@Paldea07 chances are it won't be the same person anyway, Pokémon's not really known for doing continuity like that. Closest was with B2/W2 referencing the protags of Black and White, and ig Ultra Sun/Moon are _technically_ the same kids from Sun and Moon, but in an alternate universe because ultra beasts. But that's largely it
man I've been losing faith in pokemon company and loosing that love I had for pokemon, but following along your videos you officially helped get hyped again for what's to come.
@@spectre8701 Capital A, and the A has a distinct pattern showing the As significance. Not sure what the As significance will be, whether it is a new Pokémon, Arceus, or nothing to do with Pokémon but mechanic or evil team.
Gen 6 has always had a special place in my heart dude so for it to finally get the love and attention it deserves just makes me happy.. :,) So many good memories - watching young Ttar make tutorials with his cute high pitched voice :D Kalos just has something special or something like it has such a cozy ambiance! XY and ORAS was just.. great :)
The way I read Z-A is that Z is the end of the alphabet, and A is the beginning. This reads to me that the game will be about new beginnings after an end, so like a fresh start This has a deeper meaning when you think about Xerneas being about breathing new life, and Yveltal about taking life
I just realized: probably out there but z is the first letter of Zygarde, duh, but A is the first letter of Arceus, so while it might not be catchable, Arceus could still be a part of the story. PLA had the main character travle back in time with an Arc phone, so it might not be _that_ far fetched.
Did I know literally everything you mentioned? Yes. Did I still watch the video because I love your enthusiasm for my fav region getting a remake in the style of my fav pokemon game? Hell yes
It makes sense that we’re going back to Kalos, the aura trio wasn’t in SV and I always thought that was weird. I’m glad we get to see some new megas at least. I just know know how to feel if it’s only contained in the city tho.
WERE BACK BABYYY. I’m so ready for this. It feels surreal. Also the fact they chose to reveal it 2 years in advance tells me they want us to get hyped.
I’m amazed that showing the Kalos region in the Paldea map was there the whole time and we never considered it was teasing a game rather than a possible DLC into Kalos!
I honestly was a little surprised that we didn't get a Pokemon Legends for Unova, but I understand why. This is due to the past of the area that Unova is based on compared to Sinnoh and Kalos. Many of the people currently living in that area are from other countries or born from people from other countries, so it would be really hard to put in ancestors of the characters from the Unova games. And that ends my TEDtalk. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Z through A, its a time travel game where you can go through to both the future and past as seen by the urbanizing plan you can change the future plans from the past and see those changes in the future
Kalos will finally get the lore we missed years ago...megas are back...such a good day man...seems we will explore the years after az machine destroyed everything
I never got any pokemon games after red,blue,yellow, until i was able to buy the 3ds for myself, and X&Y was my first return to the series so this tickles a special spot for me.
The Pokémon website mentioned that the adventure takes place within Lumiose City. I wonder if we'll be able to travel to other areas/cities like we did in PLA.
there’s so much we could get with this. new started megas/older pokemon megas we’ve wanted, there could be a connection to legends arceus since they story starts with a modern character being thrown back in time - maybe this time our character is FROM that time period, it seems like this game is trying to unite people and pokemon so maybe more trainer battles, and maybe this game isn’t zoned based but open world? MAN THIS IS AWESOME
@@ragingflare123 we could! i do wonder tho since the starters are more than likely to get megas instead of new forms that they might just stick with the og 3 from X/Y since they don’t have forms/megas? maybe even get some bond phenomenon stuff? THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
i kinda think of the name as starting over. Like A-Z meaning going from start to finish, but Z-A could mean starting over which would make sense since they’re revisiting Kalos
I’m so happy with this. Kalos was the first Pokémon game I played, so getting to revisit it and go back to it is going to be great. But also I have to finish the game now, but also that’s a good thing. Let’s go!!!
ive been playing pokemon since gen 1, and im pretty happy about them taking the time they need for a game that is actually already mechanically better than gen 9
for pokemon Z-A; if you look closely at the A design, it show a little hint of the new legendary may look like. and for when they show us the place in CGI as Pikachu was running and the place is only Lumiose City ground with battle that can be seen on the open area might mean players online can see and playing with eachother throughout the world. That mean they will have a lot more player you can play with. Also, when you look closely of the peoples in the game are mostly trainer that are player might interpret as you are going to play with more the 4 player as I believe that 60% of the population in this game might be players. This are what I'm getting from the trailer.
The switch OLED is pretty much a switch pro so the switch 2 is probably sharing more similarities to the concept of the wii u being an improved version
They never really "forgot" Mega Evolution. It still stuck around in Spinoff Games and the Anime. But still, having it return in the core series is deeply appreciated. And I wish they would keep it like that for at least a couple generations more before taking another break in favour of another gimmick...I don't care what y'all think: Mega Evolution is the *BEST* gimmick.
I just noticed the A silhouette kinda looks like AZ with the bottom part looking like his legs and the top part looking like the silhouette of his head+hair. I don’t know if I’m just tripping but that’s just so cool to me lol
I think it's safe to say that they're either gonna add an eeveeloution that can mega evolve, make ALL of the eeveeloutions have a mega, or just give eevee a mega evolution if they wanna go that far
I’m so happy we’re going back to Kalos as Pokemon X and Y was my introduction to the Pokemon series games as a whole. So for me at least Gen 6 was and will always be my favorite. So going back to see presumably an old Kalos makes me gitty. Hopefully we get to explore the southern part of Kalos since we didn’t on X and Y.
But for here’s what I’m thinking time placement for Pokemon Z. I’m thinking that Pokemon Z takes place a few 100 years after AZ used the Ultimate Weapon to end the war. Now the people of Kalos are instating the urban redevelopment plan to help rebuild what was old Lumiose City into current day Lumiose City.
I'm very excited to play this! I haven't played X and Y ever but from the gameplay it is my favorite game and the megas, hopefully Zygarde's lore is expanded upon, Unowns and more megas we never got in the old games. Can't wait for 2025!
The interesting thing is. As we speak, About 170,000 trees will be planted in Paris between 2020 and 2026 to combat the heat in the city. This ties in very well with the trailer, to bring (Lumiose) city and nature (Pokemon) closer together.
I think it's worth mentioning that Legends Arceus launched in January. Everyone thus far seems to be assuming that 2025 means November 2025, but there's a chance that they are actually planning to launch it eleven months earlier than people think.
I still can't believe it my dudes KALOS IS REALLY BACK!! MEGA EVOLUTION IS BACK...
Gimme like 3 more mega ttars gamefreak just under the table
Will Kalos be called something different in Pokemon Legends Z-A?
I want battle bond delphox and battle bond chesnaught!!!

So what ifff….. they skip gen 2 n 5 remakes for z to finish gen 6. This is why they did gen 2 n 5 dlc in scarlet n violet. Then gen 10 is announced, Australia but it’s called black and white 3. After u beat it up got back to gen 5 (bw2 landscape) think about it cause dlc in sv is gen 2 n 5 theme so gen 10 is brand new(Australia new starters) but also touches 5 n by doing so makes it like gold n silver gen style having two regions that are close by.

From the very limited amount of info we have, the game appears to be about some kind of reconstruction of Lumiose City. It could be based on the reconstruction of Paris under Napoleon III which happened from 1853 to 1870. This gave the city the famous look it has today.
DUDES, I REMEMBER ALL THE THEORIES THAT THE SV DLC’S WOULD TAKE US TO KALOS, MAYBE THAT BLANKED OUT AREA ON THE PALDEA MAP WAS A HINT TOWARDS KALOS GAMES AFTER ALL
The other big hint was that the Gen 6 main Legendaries were absent from Scarlet and Violet
I've also heard some people theorizing that the game might be set in the past and future/present. The title "Z to A" and the going from an older art style (and aspect ratio) to a modern one points in that direction.
Also, it looks like both Pokemon Legends games take place at pretty similar times, miid 1800ish. In Legends Arceus it looks like the early Meii period, where Japan started to industrialize and move away from smaller villages. In France, industrialization moved slower due to a lack of iron, but by mid to late 1800's Paris under went redevelopment (like lumiose in the trailer)
I'm a BIG fan of the time travel theory, for a couple of reasons. I think one of the biggest indicators that this might be true is the mention of the game taking place "entirely" in Lumiose city. While I'd be fully on board with a urban Pokémon game, I think it's a little too bold for Pokémon and especially its fans. I think we're going to time travel anywhere between the time when Lumiose barely even existed, through centuries or even millennia of its development, and end up in the future where the previously completely wild area is now entirely urbanised. And I also think this is going to be the driving force with introducing Zygarde to the player. Hell, even the trailer seems to have both old-timey and futuristic aesthetics.
That being said, I'd love it if the game took place entirely in the future, where Lumiose had expanded to cover most if not all of Kalos. There are endless possibilities with artificial environments and how that would affect the natural ecosystems and by extension, Zygarde.
my out-there theory about this game is that the ENTIRE map will just be lumiose. pokémon GTA.
Well,
It probably is or maybe the place will be urbanized throughout the story
GTA, without the GT, I assume. Would be wild, otherwise
I'll wait for more information, but it seems kind of interesting so far.
Kalos babyyyy!
Pokémon Z is finally real!
What's interesting to me are the textures on the Z and A. The Z has cells like Zygarde, but the A has a texture resembling something like plantlife or dragon scales, which could represent growth or Rayquaza, as Mega Rayquaza canonically is the first mega. It's also very interesting how the southern leg of the Z extends into the A like: 1. Replacing the bridge of the A, and 2. A pin through the eye of a needle. Meanwhile, the hyphen sticks halfway outside of the envelope (the general shape of the design), parallel to the leg of the Z. This could just symbolize the flow of time, as Z-A could represent a flow from the end to the beginning, or more succinctly, a visit to the past.
The A is certainly the most interesting part of the design as its lack of oblique movement comparative to the Z and hyphen as well as the different hues and textures creates visual weight on the A, emphasizing that it's the most important element to the design. I think if we find out what the A symbolizes, we can have a much more detailed idea of the direction of this game.
The A also has serifs, while the Z is sans serif. Serifs are typically used to represent something old or mystical. In this case, probably the former. Sans serif is used in very modern-age typefaces, so the Z is certainly looking like it has strong ties to the future while the A has ties to the past. Maybe the texture of the A is both plantlife and dragon scales, implyinf a tie to both the past and the origin of mega evolution with Rayquaza.
Last thing I want to say is the hexagonal cells of the Z resembles a style of urban planning, where cities are designed in hexagons rather than grid. Hexagon style urban planning is great for common areas (i.e. a main city of a small-medium-sixed country), while the grid structure is American and designed for interstate travel and electric power.
I'll probably send a theory email with this copy-pasted so it's in one place.
@@SilverDreamweaver Bro cooked for a family of 4 omg
i figured the A was meant to be AZ's weapon. its tall and pointy shaped and has a curved design on the bottom (not the same design but maybe its been stylised in the logo)
The A may be a flipped V, for Volo: "No, I will CONQUER it! No matter how many years, how many decades, how many centuries it takes me!"
Volo traveling through time would be crazy
oooh interesting, i thought the A also looked kinda not A like
That would be a crazy twist
That scaled green "A" shone like an emerald when it showed up, and looks too tall and thin to be an A, so it looks more like a Delta for Rayquaza to me. I have a whole comment about it.
The A looks like the ultimate weapon
3:08 that is honestly a good point: it always felt weird to me after the first game that your character is just left in past Sinnoh/Hisui after accomplishing all these great things. Especially considering you play as like a 15 yr old kid lmao your parents back in current era would probably freak out wondering what happened to you
It may not end up being the same character or even a character taken from the present and jettisoned into the past or future, but I like the idea that that same person sent back to Hisui continues to travel (even through time itself) to assist in other developments of the Pokémon world
I want this too but I kinda hope that they made the protagonist for the Legends series someone new not the ones from DPP.
@@Paldea07 chances are it won't be the same person anyway, Pokémon's not really known for doing continuity like that. Closest was with B2/W2 referencing the protags of Black and White, and ig Ultra Sun/Moon are _technically_ the same kids from Sun and Moon, but in an alternate universe because ultra beasts. But that's largely it
man I've been losing faith in pokemon company and loosing that love I had for pokemon, but following along your videos you officially helped get hyped again for what's to come.
what is ZA is about zygarde being pissed off about the development of kalos so it rampages seeing humans teardown forest to build their buildings.
The Z-A sounds like Zygarde Arceus, and Zygarde is the order Pokemon. So I think there will be a Zygarde Arceus form to take on Xerneas or Yveltal
@@kaczor4175or we got it wrong and it's A-Z meaning the possibility of the gen 6 unreleased AZ's flowett
@@kaczor4175Za in french is Z, its set in france, its probably not much more than that
@@spectre8701that's definitely not it lol there's a dash
@@spectre8701 Capital A, and the A has a distinct pattern showing the As significance. Not sure what the As significance will be, whether it is a new Pokémon, Arceus, or nothing to do with Pokémon but mechanic or evil team.
Gen 6 has always had a special place in my heart dude so for it to finally get the love and attention it deserves just makes me happy.. :,) So many good memories - watching young Ttar make tutorials with his cute high pitched voice :D
Kalos just has something special or something like it has such a cozy ambiance! XY and ORAS was just.. great :)
I subbed to this channel waaaaaaay back in the Kalos days, still remember the Google+ you were doing to bruh. Blast from the past fr
This announcement made me cry tears of joy for half an hour straight. You have no idea just how special X & Y and Kalos are to me.
ive watched you back in 2013 when xy was coming out and ima stick around with ya now. we in this broski!!
hey dude, congrats on trending. I'm proud of you, been watching since extreme oras
It going from sketching to 3d modeling makes me think we’ll be growing Lumious through time
The way I read Z-A is that Z is the end of the alphabet, and A is the beginning.
This reads to me that the game will be about new beginnings after an end, so like a fresh start
This has a deeper meaning when you think about Xerneas being about breathing new life, and Yveltal about taking life
It's been three thousand years……
I just realized: probably out there but z is the first letter of Zygarde, duh, but A is the first letter of Arceus, so while it might not be catchable, Arceus could still be a part of the story.
PLA had the main character travle back in time with an Arc phone, so it might not be _that_ far fetched.
FUNALLY I HAVE BEEN NEEDING THIS FOR SO LONG😭😭😭
I’m so happy, I’ve been waiting for a new Kalos game for 10 years now, it was my first game ever and it makes me so happy
Did I know literally everything you mentioned? Yes. Did I still watch the video because I love your enthusiasm for my fav region getting a remake in the style of my fav pokemon game? Hell yes
‘Haussmann's renovation of Paris’ is the most likely time period for the game
i think the Z-A will take us through the future back to the past whilst using kyurem/zygarde to warp realities to the past/future whenever we want
the pokemon x and y hype season is how i discovered ttar, this is so hype
It makes sense that we’re going back to Kalos, the aura trio wasn’t in SV and I always thought that was weird. I’m glad we get to see some new megas at least. I just know know how to feel if it’s only contained in the city tho.
Gen 6 was my favourite, and I was always devastated it was never complete, so I'm so excited for this.
WERE BACK BABYYY. I’m so ready for this. It feels surreal.
Also the fact they chose to reveal it 2 years in advance tells me they want us to get hyped.
I’m amazed that showing the Kalos region in the Paldea map was there the whole time and we never considered it was teasing a game rather than a possible DLC into Kalos!
i haven't been hyped for anything like i am with this
I'm so hyped for this!!! This will have to be the game I start my channel on!
I honestly was a little surprised that we didn't get a Pokemon Legends for Unova, but I understand why. This is due to the past of the area that Unova is based on compared to Sinnoh and Kalos. Many of the people currently living in that area are from other countries or born from people from other countries, so it would be really hard to put in ancestors of the characters from the Unova games. And that ends my TEDtalk. Sorry if I'm wrong.
This gives me a reason to rewatch Pokemon XY and XYZ TvT so happy
Z through A, its a time travel game where you can go through to both the future and past as seen by the urbanizing plan you can change the future plans from the past and see those changes in the future
Ttar you doing too much for us man I salute you
I love this! they just went and did something completely different
Kalos will finally get the lore we missed years ago...megas are back...such a good day man...seems we will explore the years after az machine destroyed everything
I never got any pokemon games after red,blue,yellow, until i was able to buy the 3ds for myself, and X&Y was my first return to the series so this tickles a special spot for me.
The Pokémon website mentioned that the adventure takes place within Lumiose City. I wonder if we'll be able to travel to other areas/cities like we did in PLA.
there’s so much we could get with this. new started megas/older pokemon megas we’ve wanted, there could be a connection to legends arceus since they story starts with a modern character being thrown back in time - maybe this time our character is FROM that time period, it seems like this game is trying to unite people and pokemon so maybe more trainer battles, and maybe this game isn’t zoned based but open world? MAN THIS IS AWESOME
That means we will get a random selection of 3 starters like Legends Arceus with Decidueye, Typhlosion, and Samurott!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😮
@@ragingflare123 we could! i do wonder tho since the starters are more than likely to get megas instead of new forms that they might just stick with the og 3 from X/Y since they don’t have forms/megas? maybe even get some bond phenomenon stuff?
THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
i kinda think of the name as starting over. Like A-Z meaning going from start to finish, but Z-A could mean starting over which would make sense since they’re revisiting Kalos
I never thought they were going to touch Mega Evolutions ever again. I’m so so so excited they’re bringing them back because I loved them
I’m so happy with this. Kalos was the first Pokémon game I played, so getting to revisit it and go back to it is going to be great.
But also I have to finish the game now, but also that’s a good thing. Let’s go!!!
ive been playing pokemon since gen 1, and im pretty happy about them taking the time they need for a game that is actually already mechanically better than gen 9
Z-A sounds like the end to the beginning maybe from the end (of the war and use of the weapon) to the beginning of rebuilding the region
for pokemon Z-A; if you look closely at the A design, it show a little hint of the new legendary may look like. and for when they show us the place in CGI as Pikachu was running and the place is only Lumiose City ground with battle that can be seen on the open area might mean players online can see and playing with eachother throughout the world. That mean they will have a lot more player you can play with. Also, when you look closely of the peoples in the game are mostly trainer that are player might interpret as you are going to play with more the 4 player as I believe that 60% of the population in this game might be players. This are what I'm getting from the trailer.
Ttar, if you look at the A in the logo it has kind of a leaf like design on it, which makes me think, AZ IS coming back and Eternal flower floette!
The switch OLED is pretty much a switch pro so the switch 2 is probably sharing more similarities to the concept of the wii u being an improved version
The trilogy is FINALLY complete like I we really came back full circle
They never really "forgot" Mega Evolution. It still stuck around in Spinoff Games and the Anime.
But still, having it return in the core series is deeply appreciated. And I wish they would keep it like that for at least a couple generations more before taking another break in favour of another gimmick...I don't care what y'all think: Mega Evolution is the *BEST* gimmick.
If I had to guess, this is probably gonna take place during that big pokemon war that is constantly getting mentioned when Kalos is brought up.
I just noticed the A silhouette kinda looks like AZ with the bottom part looking like his legs and the top part looking like the silhouette of his head+hair.
I don’t know if I’m just tripping but that’s just so cool to me lol
I think we could see a deep dive into the war, mega evolution and the lore of AZ
The Kalos OST in background made me cry maaaann
Pokémon usually is late to the new consoles so this will likely be the last Switch game before the Switch 2.
I think it's safe to say that they're either gonna add an eeveeloution that can mega evolve, make ALL of the eeveeloutions have a mega, or just give eevee a mega evolution if they wanna go that far
I really enjoyed X back when I was in college, and I’m excited to see what Z has to offer now 👌
I remember watching you talk about Z being released back in 2015; crazy how its come full circle 😂😂
TTAR ON TRENDING‼️
I’m so happy we’re going back to Kalos as Pokemon X and Y was my introduction to the Pokemon series games as a whole. So for me at least Gen 6 was and will always be my favorite. So going back to see presumably an old Kalos makes me gitty. Hopefully we get to explore the southern part of Kalos since we didn’t on X and Y.
But for here’s what I’m thinking time placement for Pokemon Z. I’m thinking that Pokemon Z takes place a few 100 years after AZ used the Ultimate Weapon to end the war. Now the people of Kalos are instating the urban redevelopment plan to help rebuild what was old Lumiose City into current day Lumiose City.
I'm very excited to play this! I haven't played X and Y ever but from the gameplay it is my favorite game and the megas, hopefully Zygarde's lore is expanded upon, Unowns and more megas we never got in the old games. Can't wait for 2025!
11+ years and kalos finally get some love
IM SO EXCITED KALOS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITEEEE
The interesting thing is. As we speak, About 170,000 trees will be planted in Paris between 2020 and 2026 to combat the heat in the city.
This ties in very well with the trailer, to bring (Lumiose) city and nature (Pokemon) closer together.
I'm still saying this is gonna be the first Legends game where we go between Past and Future.
I really hope they keep at it with pokemon legends. I'd love to see THE original dragon one day
I can't wait to see the regional variants this time around
Worth mentioning that Mega Evolution is in Pokémon GO too, so TPC didn't completely forsaken it, even without LZA.
Lets Go Pokemon Z-A Yippe!!! I AM EXCITED!!
I can’t believe they hit us with this curveball when we were all expecting johto or unova. Beyond excited to see new megas!
The trailer said "confidential development plans - luminose city, meaning it takes place pre luminose city
I think it's worth mentioning that Legends Arceus launched in January. Everyone thus far seems to be assuming that 2025 means November 2025, but there's a chance that they are actually planning to launch it eleven months earlier than people think.
