Pokemon Legends: Z-A Trailer Reveals
Pokemon Legends: Z-A was revealed with a brief two-minute trailer a year ago. The trailer was nothing more than a tease, showing off the name, the location, and a handful of the Pokemon that will be available when the game releases, along with the reveal that Mega Evolutions will be returning. This year’s trailer went into far more detail.
Totodile, Tepig, and Chikorita, were confirmed as the game’s three starters, which is interesting given that both Totodile and Chikorita were both starters from Generation 2’s Gold and Silver.
The trailer also confirmed that Mega Evolutions would be returning to the game, which came as no surprise. However, maybe more surprising is the fact that no new Mega Evolutions were confirmed.
Luminous City will be split into different areas, known as Wild Zones; this is where players will find and catch wild Pokemon, in a similar manner to that of Legends Arceus. Battling will be different from the previous Arceus game, though, with it being a mix of turn-based and real-time.
The Pokemon Company confirmed the game would be coming in 2025, but didn’t narrow down the release date any further than that.
