Game Freak shared more intriguing details about their new game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, sparking a wave of excitement among fans. The trailer showcase had the chat buzzing with emotions ranging from shock to amazement.

We finally got a glimpse of Lumiose City, inspired by Paris, featuring classic European architecture, narrow streets, outdoor cafés, and its own version of the Eiffel Tower. The cityscape beautifully blends urban elements with nature, showcasing trees, grass-overgrown streets, and moss-covered buildings. The visuals are stunning, especially from above, where trainers can now climb rooftops and even leap between buildings!

The city is in the midst of a massive reconstruction, funded by the Quasartico Corporation, aiming to create public spaces where humans and Pokémon can coexist. However, the ominous demeanor of the company's CEO and their secretary hints at a potentially darker role in the story.

A major gameplay innovation was revealed — trainers can now move around the battlefield alongside their Pokémon and dodge attacks in real time. This new mechanic is supported by an adapted interface, with visually spectacular effects.

Speculation about the starter Pokémon was finally put to rest, confirming Tepig, Chikorita, and Totodile as the chosen trio. With a strong emphasis on Mega Evolutions, they are likely to play a crucial role in gameplay, featuring breathtaking transformation scenes where the shell cracks, explodes, and bursts into radiant light, revealing an enhanced Pokémon.

Another reveal was AZ, the ancient king of Kalos, whose tragic story of reviving his Pokémon and being cursed with immortality and eternal loneliness adds depth to the game's narrative. Now running a hotel in Lumiose City, AZ plays a significant role in the story.
