Tell us what you want to see in Pokémon Legends: Z-A!

My opinion might be unpopular, but I think other commentators have already mentioned it: Modern games like Pokémon Legends: Arceus look terrific. If you remove the Pokémon 'fan' glasses, you'll see a game that would have been okay for 2009, not 2022. The world feels quite empty and lifeless. It's quite shocking, considering these games are made by internal Nintendo studios.

I wish the Pokémon team would communicate with and learn from the Zelda BOTW/TOTK teams. If they could achieve the same level of animation, textures, and FX quality seen in the seven-year-old Zelda games, paired with game design focused on discovery and exploration, without empty spaces and dead ends, that game would captivate me for hundreds of hours.

Legends Arceus was a great game, so maybe something similar to it. And what i would like to see specifically in legends ZA are :

1. New megas. Flygon is really needs a mega. Another maybe similar to charizard and mewtwo, an X form and a Y form.

2. Something similar to the Battle Frontier

3. A great story

I would love to have a feature where you could create you own little Pokemon ranch in game and decorate it.

I think it would be interesting to maybe bring back a newer version of the Pokemon contests that were introduced in Gen 3.

Hopefully they have breeding in this game maybe that could also be linked with having your own customized Pokemon ranch

WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE KALOS REGION!

I'm so excited for this and soon as I saw that tower, I guessed it was Kalos and I'm so happy we get a sequel/prequel to Pokémon X & Y after over a decade in a new way!

Legends Arceus felt very adventurous and different to what the mainline games do usually, but I think it'll be exciting to see if technology plays even more of a role in how the mechanics work this time around, like throwing Pokeballs and crafting items!

I'm guessing this might even build on the lore that was touched on in X and Y, either before or after a pretty big thing in the past happens in those games, which could be very interesting...

We're definitely getting Kalosian or Lumiosian (or whatever the region is called) forms, so I'm very excited to see which Pokémon get shiny new forms (as well as see their shiny forms too!) and see how the legendary Pokémon fit into it all too!

And let's not forget the characters! Legends Arceus had so many cool references to previous characters from Sinnoh as well as a few returning faces, so seeing some familiar friends and foes in a new way will be very cool! Especially the Legends Z-A version of Team Flare...

All in all, this is huge for us Pokémon fans and now that Scarlet and Violet as well as Legends Arceus have taken new approaches with the games, we can definitely expect something different!

I think it's high time Game Freak took a look at the battle system and modernised it. I love turn based combat, but it feels like very little has changed over the years with Pokemon's battling. The animations are extremely lazy and some of the models could do with a complete overhaul.

I would go as far to suggest they adopt an open battle system, one like Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3's where you play as the pokemon and are able to roam and cast certain moves on demand.

The bottom line is they just need to do something new for me to consider buying it, I made the mistake of buying Sword & Shield and I won't be doing it again. Arceus was a step in the right direction but they need to do more!!!
