I’m thrilled to bits about the unveiling of the gameplay trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A! This long-awaited sequel, first hinted at last year, has us fans on cloud nine. With the reveal of its starter Pokemon, release window, and other tantalizing details, it’s safe to say that Pokemon Legends: Arceus left quite an impression, and we can’t wait to see how the gameplay style from that title carries over into Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

The first glimpse of “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” unveiled that the upcoming game will be based in Lumiose City of the Kalos region and will reintroduce Mega Evolutions. However, specifics about the game were scarce at that time. For a long while now, fans have eagerly anticipated more news regarding “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” and what new elements it will offer. Fortunately, recent Pokemon Presents event disclosed some thrilling details about the game.

The final part of the recent Pokemon Presents event showcased the very first gameplay teaser for “Pokemon Legends: Z-A”. This trailer has confirmed that the trio of starting Pokemon in this new title will be Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile. Moreover, it unveiled a modernized Lumiose City undergoing high-tech urban renewal, featuring designated zones for wild Pokemon to prosper within the city itself. Players will find themselves lodging at a hotel managed by AZ from “Pokemon X and Y” along with his Floette, while also engaging with their companion Urbain/Taunie. The trailer also indicated that battles in this game have been altered so that moves now have varying reach and area effects, emphasizing timing and positioning over the previous title “Legends: Arceus”. It’s essential to know that the release of “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” is planned for late 2025.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Starter Pokemon

  • Chikorita (Grass-type)
  • Tepig (Fire-type)
  • Totodile (Water-type)

It’s quite possible that fans of Pokémon will find the starters in “Legends: Z-A” unexpected. There had been numerous theories and speculations about these starter Pokémon prior to their unveiling, with a popular belief suggesting they would be Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie from the X and Y series. However, it turns out that the starters for “Pokémon Legends: Z-A” are actually two Pokémon from the Johto region (Chikorita and Totodile) and one from the Unova region (Tepig), which was not at all anticipated by many.

The trailer didn’t disclose if these starting Pokémons will end up with distinct final forms akin to those in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, or if they’ll acquire their own Mega Evolutions instead. It’s apparent that there are many aspects of Pokemon Legends: Z-A yet to be unveiled, and since the game isn’t due for release until late 2025, we might have to wait a while to learn more about this intriguing new project.
