Pokémon Legends Z-A releasing next year!

Getting a new Legends game was my biggest hope for this year's Pokémon Presents, but I didn't expect my wish to come true in this way! (I'd been expecting something Unova-based, if anything, given the references to it in the Scarlet/Violet DLC and the fandom rumours about Black/White remakes... which surprisingly ended up not being a thing here, even if I think it's a bit too soon for them right now anyway.) As someone who actually enjoyed X/Y and really liked Kalos as a region, I'm happy to see it finally get some more love.

Also, since it's not coming out til 2025, hopefully that means it'll get the development time it needs and won't suffer from the same jank as Scarlet/Violet -- because as much as I love Violet, there's no getting away from the fact it is super janky in ways it really shouldn't be!

I should get back to Legends Arceus at some point in the meantime. I still haven't done the postgame storyline yet!

I KNOW RIGHT?? I was hoping for Unova remakes myself but a new Kalos game is even better because X/Y was so good and I always wished we'd gotten the rumored sequel that got cancelled so they could rush Alola out.

(And yeah, SV slapped, but I could do without the weird glitches and the getting stuck on the ceiling!)

If Black/White remakes are coming in the future, I wouldn't be surprised if they're being saved for the next Nintendo console. And yeah, as much as I love Sun/Moon, it does suck that the sixth gen got kind of screwed over. =/

(I'm lucky enough to have not encountered any really bad glitches, but I've had times where I've been scared the game was going to crash at critical moments, and that's certainly not fun!)

[sarajayechan]

Yeah, pretty much. The Alola games were amazing, especially Ultra Sun, but XY had so many breadcrumbs of unexplored things that could've been amazing in a third game!

(My worst glitch is whenever Koraidon is riding on a ceiling or a high wall and disappears and I'm basically stuck for a few minutes. D: )

Oh, whoa! That's so exciting, aaa! Arceus was so much fun, I'm super glad they're making another! :D

Same here, same here! :D
