I believe I’m the one individual within the Pokémon group who feels this fashion in the case of new Pokémon being launched at present in Legends Z-A, however I can’t assist however fear that the one new creatures we are going to get in-game are Mega Evolutions.
To me, the enjoyment of a brand new Pokémon is available in creatures that I can see 24/7 as a substitute of solely showing for a time-limited interval… utilizing an merchandise. The concept I can stroll round and uncover model new Pokémon I’ve by no means seen earlier than or get a brand new evolution for a pre-existing Pokémon is half the enjoyable for me. And whereas the thought of recent Mega Evolutions is improbable, the thought that it’s the solely new Pokémon we may be getting fills me with a bit extra dread than I’d like.
In fact, it was all the time going to be onerous to make new Pokémon in Z-A make sense. It’s based mostly in an already visiting area in modern-day, so the concept a brand new Pokémon existed within the area that we didn’t see the primary time we performed Pokémon X and Y on the Nintendo 3DS all these years in the past seems like a cop out, however its not unknown or remarkable for brand spanking new species to be found to this present day within the real-world, so why not within the Pokémon world too?
With Mega Evolutions seeming to be the brand new evolution technique, I do surprise if the staff may make a Kalos regional kind work ultimately. As the sport is ready in a technologically superior metropolis, I really feel that some Pokémon, comparable to Porygon, may evolve into types that adapt to those advances, and even Pokémon like Rotom, which might be excellent additions even when they had been standalone variations.
I look, for example, at Everlasting Flower Floette, which is a type of Floette solely present in Kalos that’s begging to trace at extra Kalos types we may have (and it will be good to have the ability to play with this Pokémon once more, contemplating it was solely obtainable by way of occasions previously).
Kalos was additionally the final area to introduce a brand new Eeveelution with Sylveon, so it will really feel proper to return to the world to increase and supply us with extra Eevee evolutions for different typings. Though I do know that is simply wishful pondering, quite than something concrete.
Pokémon Legends Z-A solely gave us a small fraction of recent Pokémon to find, whether or not it was regional types like Hisuian Pokémon or new evolutions fully. So I hope Z-A will observe swimsuit and is hiding its largest shocked behind the bi-weekly Mega Pokémon reveals… fingers crossed.
