My Thoughts and Predictions on Pokémon Legends Z-A 

I would like to see your rival be like Miles Edgeworth. Someone who think they are superior to you, to eventually becoming your friend against their will.

Soeyue isn't only an anagram for "See You" (as in the Zygarde Cells are always watching the ecossystems). It's Euyeos backwards. This word in old Greek means "bountiful" but it roughly translates to "fruitful earth". It's a nod to Zygarde's Ground Type and the academy names of SV. Kalos in the same idiom means "beauty".

After watching this I can confirm that the game will have S t r e e t L i g h t s

Finally the French evolution

Has anybody realised that Spinel looks a bit like N from the Pokémon black and white series? and Chalce looks like she could be the daughter of Lenora from Pokémon black and white.

8:06 Not man made, just the result of the energy being absorbed by evolutionary stones

THE A IS THE ULTIMATE WEPON I MEAN THE CUTSCENE AZ SHOWED HAS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON LOOKING VERY SIMILAR

The king who was granted eternal life for some reason and spent 3000years looking for his Floette was named AZ. I think the title is a reference to him, and we'll finally get some clarification on that crazy backstory.

If i'm being honest, i almost cried when the trailer revealed "Urban Redevelopment plan - Lumiose City" and my hands were shaking too because i grew up watching Pokemon XYZ. And i don't care what pokemon will get megas or even if Charizard gets another one because the only pokemon i want to see get them are Chesnaught, Delphox, Flygon and Zoroark. But we still need to wait for more news to know what will be going on in the game and what pokemon will show up in it

I mean tbf street lights were made in the 16th century... so it could take place before Pokémon Legends: Arceus since Japan was a very different culture for a while since they locked themselves from everyone else. I mean most people agree its probably in the 18th century. Which does semi line up with this since France had a redevelopment plan around this era.

Ay think about it, a smaller map dould be a lot better for the switch, and maybe the city will have a super cozy atmosphere.

I like how the official word for marill in this channel is bhillip

I think the A is there because of AZ. Z-A backwards is A-Z and he is big in the lore of X and y

I beginned my adventure with gen 6 and Pokemon X/Y but felt that they didnt get enough love I am more than happy that these gen and MEGA EVOLUTIONS are getting more attention

Paris had a LARGE redevelopment in the 1800s (or 1900s?) to make it the way it is today. So it's probably the past. The trailer imagines what it WILL be. Btw, Legends Arceus was also in the 1800s (Meiji Era). But, yeah, your videos are great!

Im going to say scorbunny will be a starter not for the soccer but because APPARENTLY napoleon and co organised a rabbit hunt that ended up having hundreds/thousands of rabbits who attacked the men back and forced them to retreat... So its a fun bit of history, and would line up perfectly with serperior's french royalty theme and empoleon being... Empoleon...

I was praying for a Kalos game and everyone said it wasn’t going to happen. Let’s just say they were wrong.

I still think it's in the past. Possibly during the French Revolution or after a war(not the 3000 years ago one. Maybe a different war). I also hope that there's a Catacombs because Pairs have the Catacombs of Pairs. It would allow us a lot more rooms to explore even if we are limited to Lumiose city.

Shibuya! “You are my special!”

Zygarde is going to get an ultrazord 200 percent form. What I want to see the most is a usable eternal flower Floette and Snivy being a starter

Legends is by far the greatest game they've ever made from a replayability standpoint, even had features that the games after didn't, like the overworld shiny noise, shinies showing in boxes, mass transferring pokemon. I don't understand how anyone can be mad.

"or a flower shop with grass types" *shows sudowoodo* 6:12

XY were my first games. Though I was disappointed in how short the game was, it still hooked me up. Mega Evolutions were awesome, and the music, man, the music in XY was AMAZING! ORAS afterward was great at keeping me into Pokémon too, with the amazing amount of content and story writing. I'm happy to see a return to Kalos.

I hope battle bond has a evolved form with another 110 stat boost on top of the 110 stat boost just to make a cracked greninja but the side effect is that with this even stronger form you need a mega like stone as infinity energy makes mega stones battle bond is using the energy in the trainer so this mega stone would use energy from the area

8:08 no they were not. Mega Stones are made when evolution stones absorbed leftover energy from the ultimate weapon. But yeah, Mewtwo having a mega stone makes no sens As for Oras, the reason Mega Stones are in Hoenn is cuz the region gets frequent meteor showers, and when the ultimate weapon’s laser was fired up into space, before it fell back down, the energy leeched into a bunch of space rocks, that become meteors. That’s also the reason why Rayquaza doesn’t need a Mega Stone, cuz it eats meteors. And those same meteors have the ultimate weapon’s energy in them, allowing Rayquaza to mega evolve

I can't wait to get lost in Lumiose City again

The star logo featured in the teaser is for a team likely named "Quasar", due to the shape of the letters in the wordmark and the appearance of the symbol itself. It's extremely fitting since quasars emit EM radiation, like solar flares emitted from the sun Now before you say that the choice of "quasar" makes it impossible for ZA to be set before the 20th century (because the word was coined in the 1950s-60s), might I remind you that Rayquaza, despite being an ancient Pokémon, was likely named after quasars (in the languages other than CJK) based on the spelling and the "official" English pronunciation "Ray-kway-za" (I say "Ray-kwah-za" personally tho lol)

Z-A is AZ mixed up, just like the unown in the presents was a mixed up spelling of Seeyou, and with paradox pokemon being introduced in ScarVi, and pokemon sticking with 1 theme through the current generation, its all hinting that we are gonna be travelling backwards and forwards in time causing and or fixing paradoxes to make sure we get the correct timelime. And AZs floette is probably a paradox form which is why they were catchable in area zero in Scarvi

Glad someone else see’s my vision of this being Pokémon’s version of Yokai Watch.

The “urban redevelopment” is almost certainly based on the redevelopment of Paris, which took place in the mid 1800’s, the exact same time legends arcues took place.

I remember someone saying the a stand's for Alpha.

I feel like the game will take place during the industrial revolution, because street lights existed that time

Also x and y are French so the language theory hurt me

The mega stones aren’t man made because in the anime we see a huge rock of Lucarioite that doesn’t look man made at all

I almost cried when I saw this trailer!

If we get a Mega Infernape that would be awesome, Just have to do it right

One thing that is a must with this game is BENCHES! That was my excitement of XY. We need sitting back.

People expecting unova and saying “all the signs pointing towards it”. That’s just sinnoh confirmed all over again. GF might be ‘greedy’ and all that, but they dont shovel out remakes. Distance between HgSs and ORAS? 2 gens. ORAS and BDSP? 2 gens. Shoveling out remakes might just lead to stagnation, so i consider this a good thing, giving GF a chance to improve its game, which is necessary for the remakes considering the general opinion of BDSP’s failure of a remake. Give them time to reflect so that you get proper remakes for the legendary unova games

I'd be fine with the game taking place in the modern era. But if you look at the trailer in it's totality, it fades from paper to blue outlines then back to paper. That suggests to me that takes place before the current state of Lumiose city. Again fine with it being current day, but it looks to me to be in the past.

think my idea of ZA is that it takes place in the "future", by virtue of being placed in an anachronistically-shifted but still linked timeframe compared to the other universes. but only because the emergence of paradox universes caused some worlds to "budge" up in the cosmology. the game will have a late-stage reveal that one of the main constructors is Colress who first appeared within Lumiose a few years after USUM, or at least sometime after the attempted "time machine" in Paldea was first fired up. in reality the universe where ZA takes place in is within the 60's or 70's with the knowedge (at least Pokemon from outside the region) kept as an internal secret within Quasar. Quasar would be a shell company Chairman Rose previously bought when climbing up the ladder for businesses. Colress eventually completes his transdimensional machine, instead of it launching people+places back to their home realities (see Ghetsis and the Rainbow Rocket episode), he can actually move locations. this'd make it better than losing your memories while stumbling through a ultra wormhole, and removes the need of an Alola box legendary that the URS has. It was said in the backstory that the previous king of Kalos (at least it was a king?) found a forbidden book, alluded to be AZ. the book Colress had in the BW2 intro looked strangely Alolan, maybe at some point, Colress perfects some research but loses it in a ultra wormhole or time vortex to establish a bookstrap paradox. Arceus presumably allows it, due to pulling the player back in time during Legends Arceus. there's other canon where Arceus was able to shield time paradoxes or let worlds exist, like Dusknoir's world in PMD2. Colress was inspired by the Ultra Megalopolis and its spire, to attempt to mimic a similar structure at the Prism Tower in Lumiose. (obv Clemont only just modified what was already there. Zygarde probably would be in the game somehow. maybe as an artificial pokemon. aura break being used to neutralize the box legends...maybe the new one can harness or produce it "freely". it has a hexagon-shaped core, same as Rose's Beard, Oleana's earrings, Jacq's glasses and Colress' eyes. Maybe a double-twist would be that Megas were discovered *NOW*, and are treated more like a creatable device for convenience. (think mobile phones, ipods, ect) rather than a seemingly-natural and limited resource tied into Kalos' previously-established history (barring Ghurkinn's ancestors). maybe there'd be a double-whammy that ZA takes place within the Original Generation's universe, except for technology advancements caused Giovanni to absolutely curbstomp the local populace of the world. not only making Giovanni a dimension-hopper, but also a Time-Traveller. Celebi would be used as the initial plot-starter, but also an aftergame plot device to explain how mutual realities can occur, with RR Giovanni being able to pull characters like Team Magma/Aqua in. USUM could potentially occur concurrently (assuming Necrozma is retconned from being THE Blinding One, and more like sapient shards, think Deoxys or Phione). might explain there being multiple N-Solar/Lunarizers, could be sidestepped as either OOParts, or intentional URS/Interpol-influence to keep intra-dimensional destruction down rather than let Necrozma go free and drain worlds of light.

At one point, Paris didn't want any wildlife in the city at all. Nature was slowly reintroduced when King Louis made people see nature in a different way. In Legends: Arceus, people and pokemon live separate lives and are just barely coming together as partners. Legends: Z-A could be so rich in lore. It'll most likely focus on the point where Lumiose City goes from a concrete fortress meant to keep out hostile pokemon, to a modern mecca where people and pokemon live and work together in peace and harmony.

I maybe wrong but what if Pokémon Legends Z-A takes place where lumious city is being developed like how mauville city turned into new mauville city in OR/AS

8:06 according to XY post game the mega stones were created from a stone that had absorbed energy from the ultimate weapon like the sun dial in the psychic gym town in Kalos

Lacking of Pokemon evolution and Pokemon evolution isn't allowed in our country and such As France doesn't fit well with the lack of Pokemon aren't Pretending as our creatures and domestic Cat Play's a key role with our country As well

Pokemon legends za is basically pokemon z but done in the legends format and a smaller region.

8:29 I feel like giving the starters that dont have the battle bond ability would be cool to see. It then gives a reason as to why gerninga has a mega and battle bond.

I think the design of the A in the logo is supposed to represent the nature of Kalos, more specifically Lumiose City's once pristine wilderness before it became the major population centre we see it as today. Zygarde's Pokédex entry essentially states Zygarde will show its true power when the ecosystems of Kalos are under attack. Considering the "urban redevelopment plan" shown in the trailer, and the Hausmannian inspirations, I believe the game will cover the loss of nature of the area as Lumiose City expands. The widespread damage to the local ecosystems will prompt Zygarde to appear to try and eliminate the humans destroying the homes of Pokémon. Perhaps we as the player will have to find a way to make Lumiose City a home for both people and Pokémon. This hawks back to the trailer with Lumiose becoming "a place for people and Pokémon," while also showing co-existence with Pokémon that Legends Arceus was hinting towards. The choice of Z-A is likely also referencing AZ, the king of Kalos 3,000 years ago.

7:05 Me, cause from the pokedex entries it sounds like I'm putting my pokemon into life threatening danger just to get a power boost even if it's through friendship. Plus most of the megas were on popular pokemon instead of pokemon that needed a boost. Mawile and Sableye are good example of good megas done right. Also comp hates them.

Something like it being as developed 3000 years ago as now And it got destroyed during a war

Its redevelopment plan is supposed to represent the redevelopment plan of paris/lumiose city in 1800 the time that people think legends arceus took place around

Welcome back Kalos. Lumiose City and Mega Evolution!

Street lights were invented in the 16th century, And Pokémon legends Arceus is based off of the 19th century. Meaning your off by four centuries.

I was born a month before x and y so I'm really excited

Everyone talking about the game: Me: tryna figure out if someone else is gonna get isekai’d and if so, who?

I still hope for instead of a regional variant of the last stage evolution of the starters, they get a brand new evolution. Now, my new hope is that we get a second choice for a starter, but they have megas

Pokémon XYZ anime was my first pokemon experience

10:13 this reminds me that a Southern France/Occitania/Provence inspired region would be great ! Esepecially if the game is set in the Middle Ages. Give them also a Corsica dlc and you've made a game I'd definietly play no questions asked.

so, pla is theorized to take place in the 1860s ish, and the redevelopment plan of paris fits perfectly with the redevekopment plan of lumiose, AND it ALSO takes place in the 1860s ish, so that would be my guess

Perhaps we will see AZs story. Perhaps time traveling will be a feature.

7:00 BRO I FEEL YOU, AND MEGA EVOLUTION JUST FITS AS POKEMON'S MAIN THING. UNLIKE THE OTHER GIMMICK'S.

If you making another Headcanon video here's my headcanon : we know alola have kahunas instead of Gym leaders There's 4 kahuna for 4 islands I always mind my myself that There's used to be 8 gym leaders 2 for 1 Island the reason why there's 4 Just because there's no one wants to be an elite four so the 4 Gym leaders become an elite four but no one wanted to be a Gym leader because they enjoyed Mantine surf or don't want to be a pokemon trainer and don't want to stay In the Gym Like 19 Hours so they stucked with 4 Gym leaders later to turn To Kahunas

I just want to play a pokemon game.Dosent matter where it is.In the streets,city,jungle,mountains,Under the ocean,over the clouds.Anywhere is fine.

Pokemon Game's Are supposed to be with kantonian Meowth region reminded me of Japanese kawaii and Hello kitty

I know im a month late but i think legends ZA will take place in the future or maybe you can time travel to the past and the future(aka the present to us the playerbin the past)to like help in its development or to keep the timeline in check i don't know but that's is what my theory is :)

POKEMON ZAZA

Maybe Z-A means a national dex

I was so surprised when they announced z-a😂

WAIT, what if it’s about going from the past to future. Like one of the main gimmicks is time travel

I'd say... every single Kalos pokemon line should get a Mega..... yes, ALL of them. It is not acceptable for the generation to introduce Mega evolution to only have a single pokemon that is able to use it (and said pokemon isn't even obtainable outside of events).

The only thing I don't understand is everyone compares it to something but I suspect it's somewhere in the past but not that super far from Pokemon legends arceus I suspect technology advanced to a higher level after the invention of pokeballs

i think pokemon legends z-a is base of Haussmann's renovation of Paris

I’m pretty sure it is modern, or the future. In the trailer (I forget at what point) you see a woman sitting at a cafe table holding what looks to be a smartphone, but the wire-frame style makes it hard to tell so idk

7:07 I like 'em but my favourite mechanic is Z-Moves

I am pretty sure that there's a guy with a phone in the background of the trailer so it is most likely in the future.

6:40 *LEGENDS*

To me mega evolution don't feel like a gimmick it feels like a important part of the pokemon world.

5:04 what’s this ost

I really did not care much about most mega mons. This was mostly because of how they was given out especially to mons that either did not need it or because how op even the weaker ones was. There is also the fact that well the discourse about them made me mad at times.

YO-KAI WATCH MENTIONED RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA 👹

7:06 Me. Its like the (competetivly) worst gimick, but the designs are sick tho

Yo people still remember Yo-Kai watch in 2024 W

Pokemon anime don't follow our region and such As Pokemon mega evolutions don't fit well with France but unfortunately France don't fit well with the Year's of numbers duh 🙄

Honestly I hope GF makes a mega charizard Z and A out of pure spite. "Yeah we gave charizard 4 megas, what of it?"

ok about the past vs future arguement... kalos in the present is a bustling city, where people and pokemon already work together, why would that change in the future? also, is more than well establish the pokemon world is way more advance than our world, so we dont really know how advance the world really was back than. for crying out loud, AZ had a reviving machine that than turns into a death bean! but light bulds is too advance? is the past for sure

do you not see the corolation between A-Z AZ

i really would like it to have a style thats like a mix of arceus and(shut up haters) palworld

I believe it’s called Z-A because of AZ, I mean c’mon it’s just his name but backwards, but if it’s not that then Z obviously stands for Zygarde, as for the A, I don’t know 💀

8:46 oh.... I wish it was like that now But if you pause and read the description of battle bond in gen 9, yeah......ash greninja doesn't exist anymore ( Fs in the comments for the most epic frog ever,we were robbed ROBBED I TELL YA) HOWEVER You know what this means, right? the theory that the kalos starters get megas may stand true

I will call the new region the leguck because with hasui the term sui was a meme with renaldo screaming it so the guck is from a meme and le is french

Real gen 5 fans rejoiced when they didn't announce a Unova game. I would know, cause I'm one of those fans

Pokemon X and Y are only seen as alright in retrospect because it never got a follow-up or enhanced version. The same way Hoenn and Sinnoh is carried so much by their third versions.

I feel like I would rather see a Mew Z instead of a Mewtwo Z

Pokemon X/Y were the most forgettable games for me, which is a shame because it introduced a lot of mechanics that definitely improved the franchise. It was the first to introduce the 3rd person POV, in depth character customization, Fairy type, Mega-evolution, and "rent-able" pokemon mechanics which would eventually overhaul the HM system. So many improvements in a forgettable story and region. Unova is my favorite, but I am so here for a Kalos redemption. It definitely deserves it. I'm also loving that they are using this series to do heavy experimentation. As much as I loved Arceus, the franchise as a whole can get repetitive (which is why X/Y is so forgettable in the first place), so I don't want to see them fall into a long stretch of Arceus clones. I'm here for the super limited map. I'm here for all of it.

I'm sorry Ash Greninja totally counts as a mega.

Z -A Zygarde - Alola

If it is in the future maybe we can find out who The One is

I can finally try get my desired shiny delphox

Its blueprints not wireframe

Wait...

Z-A will definitely be set in the past, the trailer has nothing futuristic, it's just an animated blueprint. In addition to the obvious reference to what happened in Paris 200 years ago, which also coincides with the colonization of Hokkaido, event from which legends Arceus took a lot of inspiration.
