The unveiling of Pokemon Legends: Z-A caught many fans by surprise, shifting the focus to Kalos Region's Lumiose City from Unova. The potential of this new installment to shape the franchise's future is significant, with hints possibly already embedded in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, mirroring the anticipation around Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Sharp-eyed fans noticed a subtle nod to the Kalos Region within Pokemon Legends: Arceus before Lumiose City's confirmation in Pokemon Legends: Z-A>. The male character's default shirt in Pokemon Legends: Arceus resembling one from Kalos in Pokemon X and YPokemon Legends game.

Galar Influence in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players time travel to the Hisui Region guided by Arceus, aiding Professor Laventon and the Galaxy Expedition Team in surveying the land and its Pokemon. The attire of the characters upon awakening suggests the female character hails from the Galar Region, sporting a shirt akin to the one from Pokemon Sword and Shield. This subtle detail may hint at a future Galar-based game in the series.

If the third Pokemon Legends sets its stage in Galar, players of Pokemon Legends: Z-A should remain vigilant for references to this region within the game. Proximity between Kalos and Galar offers a plausible link between the games, potentially strengthening ties for a future installment in Galar.

Speculations around Pokemon Legends: Z-A draw parallels to Paris' 19th-century urban renewal, suggesting Galar could play a role in Lumiose City's redevelopment storyline. Given Galar's historical context tied to the British Industrial Revolution, the game could explore architectural collaborations between Galar and Kalos during this era, setting the stage for subsequent titles in Galar during the industrial evolution.
