No matter what new mainline game comes out, I’m going to buy it and enjoy it. brilliant diamond and shining pearl) I still say, “Eh, that’s a solid 7/10.” So when Pokémon Day 2024 approaches and Game Freak announces a game that offers an interesting concept and execution, reintroducing concepts from the past, it actually goes beyond my general “meh-her-ness.” I had reason to be excited.
Pokemon Legend: ZA (2025) is the current announcement.become the successor of Pokemon Legend: Arceus (2022) has been one of the most critically acclaimed Pokemon games in recent times, and the concept alone has the new entry building excitement for its release. Offering more open-area style gameplay that allows for seamless encounters with wild Pokémon, it offers a fun gameplay loop that leverages the core mechanics of the series, from side series to mainline entries. . Therefore, a return to this style of gameplay is expected, and the new game is already supported by a vociferous fan base.
Make sure the game set is completely inside Pokemon X/Y”s (2013) Lumiose City, the largest single city in franchise history, sets a precedent for a new approach to world building and exploration.the same as Pokemon Legend: Arceus, the game can be expected to take place in a time period far removed from the modern setting of the mainline game.meanwhile Legend: Arceus It is based on the fact that Hokkaido was established in 1869. Legend: ZA Given that the trailer focuses on urban renewal, it’s likely based on Haussmann’s renovation of Paris from 1853 to 1870 (the inspiration for Lumiose City).
Anticipation for the game’s release continues to build as the story and lore of the Kalos region finally expands. Pokemon X/Y). Unlike other regions featured within the series, Kalos is an outlier in terms of available content, or rather lacks content, as he only received his DLC in one entry. I am. Pokemon Legend: ZA Therefore, this is a chance for the Kalos region to further develop and finally realize the potential it was established 11 years ago. Similarly, the reintroduction of Mega Evolution (6th Generation’s generational battle gimmick) strengthens this potential, as this gimmick is generally most well-received as the power boost and new forms it gave to older Pokémon.
Many fans were hoping for a 2nd or 5th generation remake, but these are the games with the longest period without a new entry, so the 6th generation will be filled with further development and exploration of new ideas. brings many possibilities.How does a game set entirely within one city work, and how does it expand on the ideas developed in the game?

Considering the expected release date is his year 2025, the game still has a lot of development left before release, with a year of updates and future releases scheduled. In any case, what has been shown so far (admittedly very little) creates excitement.
