Revealing Pokemon Legends: Z-A has reignited interest in the Kalos Region, sparking speculation on which elements from Pokemon X and Y will resurface in this new installment. While details about the plot and gameplay of Pokemon Legends: Z-A remain scarce, it is anticipated to echo themes and features akin to Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The focus now shifts to the anticipated roles of the series' Legendary and Mythical creatures, pivotal to the franchise's lore.
Despite the absence of a specific Legendary or Mythical reference in Pokemon Legends: Z-A's title, enthusiasts are theorizing about the central creature in the game's narrative. Zygarde emerges as a prime contender for this role, as Pokemon Legends: Z-A appears to embody the unreleased Pokemon Z version of Generation 6. However, other Legendary and Mythical beings could surprise players with unexpected contributions, potentially unveiling new forms.
Zygarde's Prominent Role in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
The design of Pokemon Legends: Z-A's logo strongly suggests Zygarde's pivotal involvement in the storyline, with the 'Z' incorporating Zygarde's color scheme and texture. The intrigue around Zygarde revolves around its portrayal and narrative significance in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Given Zygarde's transformative nature, evolving as it gathers cells, this concept could seamlessly integrate with the urban development theme hinted in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, particularly referencing the rejuvenation of Lumiose City.
If the storyline of Pokemon Legends: Z-A revolves around the reconstruction of Lumiose City into its grandeur from Pokemon X and Y, players could stumble upon Zygarde Cells while enhancing different city sections. As these cells accumulate, Zygarde might transition into various forms, potentially introducing new forms beyond the existing 10% and 50% Formes. With Zygarde Complete Forme safeguarding ecosystems, the game's climax might confront players with this entity perceiving Lumiose City's industrialization as an ecological menace.
Integration of Other Legendaries and Mythicals in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Expectations are high for the appearance of other Generation 6 Legendaries and Mythicals alongside Zygarde in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, although their specific roles remain ambiguous. The enigmatic Hoopa seems a probable candidate due to its portal-manipulating abilities that transcend timelines. Volcanion could also feature, especially if the game is set during Kalos' industrial era, given its Steam Pokemon classification and the significance of steam engines during the Industrial Revolution.
Similar to Dialga and Palkia in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Xerneas and Yveltal are expected to play crucial roles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, potentially unveiling new Mega Evolutions. Another aspect to ponder is the inclusion of elements from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, featuring Primal Groudon, Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza. The revival of Mega Evolution in Pokemon Legends: Z-A could imply the presence of these Legendaries, likely post-game content if included.
