Za is shorthand so this is going to be a pizza-themed pokemon game
For the Za Lord!
I'm gonna catch me a Toot-toot
P-Za?
Pizza Tower x Pokemon crossover is finally happening
Wonder how much last minute changes are taking place in the wake of Palworld
They have to compete so they have decided, this time, you can fuck the pokemon.
Get the deviant art dlc day one
Let's see if we can't get some sound out of Mr. Mime.
This comment made me involuntarily shudder

Vaporeon cover legendary lets go!
They don't have to compete, palworld offered little resistance or trouble for them. You are comparing 3m sales of a base game to 30m. The only thing they might consider is either adding more functionality in game (which is good) but still based on Arceus, I doubt art or optimization and graphics will be of importance.
lol it's a joke my man. I know they aren't in the same league.
Well Palworld is just a bland survival game that has pokemon in it. The major interesting thing Palworld does is a base/farm simulator where your workers have different specialties and can assign jobs. I highly doubt Pokemon will go that route.
So the only other thing Palworld does is that it doesn't run like dogshit and is concurrent multiplayer. So if we get either of those from Pokemon I guess that's a win?
It might be bland, but the fact it's been marketed as "holy shit, it's like Pokémon if Game Freak gave a shit" says it all about the Pokémon franchise.
FWIW, I doubt they'll change a thing. People will buy anything with a Pokémon cover, and Game Freak know this...
You think that will happen with GameFreak as developers? lol
None, I'd imagine.
Fuck I hate useless trailers like this.
2 minutes to basically announce a title and nothing else.
I still have no idea what the game‘s about
It‘s likely cross-gen with the Switch‘s successor and I hope it‘ll be technically more competent than their last Pokemon game - especially since it‘ll have to run on the original Switch again
I hope it‘ll be technically more competent than their last Pokemon game
We all do but S/V sold like hotcakes so I highly doubt it. They really have no incentive to spend any more time or money that absolutely necessary to churn out games.
That's probably the point here. They're intentionally not showing anything and not saying too much because this is the launch game for the Switch U or whatever it'll be called.
Legends means it'll use the open world battling and catching mechanics seen in Legends Arceus.
Also features city planning, could be post-war reconstruction in the past (3000 years ago).
Also, the mega symbol at the end implies new Mega Pokemon.
And since it has a 2025 release date, hopefully it will have enough time to bug fix. Likely, it will use the existing Legends Arceus engine so hopefully that allows them more time to refine.
I might consider it if they finally give it more than a year to cook.
I am guessing this is meant to be the Switch 2 launch title. With that system being delayed (it was supposed to be released this year but now it's 2025), hopefully they'll use the extra time to heavily polish the game and make it pretty.
Yeah it'll now come with oodles extra merchandise you can buy. And the game world looks like it's N64 now but with the framerate of the original Star Fox.
Pokemon Z is finally real. Seems like a futuristic setting instead of the past like the last Legends game?
I think it'll be the recent past, showing how Lumiose came to be what it is in X/Y. A prequel story could do wonders for X/Y, fleshing out Lysandre with an actual backstory could make him interesting.
Have they released any gameplay footage? Or images?
Who cares it says Pokémon on the cover so I will buy 2 copies of it and then complain about quality going down.
There's your answer. And why nintendo doesn't care.
Well it's a legends title so we'll likely be able to expect something like Legends Arceus gameplay wise, what I'll be anticipating is if they'll do a Galar/Kalos/Paldea super region since Britain France and the Iberian Peninsula are all right on top of each other, and also because of the Gaullic Empire memes it could spawn.
Based on the trailer, I am assuming the entire game is self-contained within the city, though I'd expect it to be a lot bigger than the city was in X and Y.
I enjoyed megas far more than dynamaxing, so glad they're bringing it back somehow!
This looks cool but will probably watch others play instead of getting it myself. Waiting for a Pokemon game on the next console. I think we’ve maxed out the Switch.
Gamefreak has yet to make a Pokemon game on the switch that doesn’t run like garbage so hopefully they can do a little better this go-around. I won’t be holding my breath though.
Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee actually ran well, with only occasional dips. Not sure how their first Switch outing was also their most polished...
I was also shocked at how well Arceus ran.
You’re right, although I’d hope the reskin of a 20 year old game would run ok.
It was more than a reskin, with a new catching system based on Pokémon Go, but yeah, the area design was pretty much already done
Huh
I wonder how much pressure Nintendo will get to change the name given the connotation of the letter Z representing the Russian forces in Ukraine.
That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. If they felt the need to change the title, they would have done that before this reveal considering the war has been ongoing for 2 years now.
