My reaction to Legends Z-A: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKqqdoFsf8prpq8si=zw7yArrPGBwMfTVg Ranking every Pokemon Switch game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ-roopvpMuYeLc

I don't know why, but I would love for the redevelopment plan part of it to be of a timeline, where Team Flare's plan actually succeeded with their plan, and they managed to make a more beautiful world. The redevelopment would be a way of covering up the past of the real Kalos. It would then be our job to find out the actual history of the Kalos region. This could also be a good way to bring out the lore of Kalos.

[@johtojonny]

I didn't even think of that! Oh man that would be DARK! And I wonder how Zygard will fit into that

[@okamonko6376]

I dunno since somebody figured out that the team/company ,who's logo is all over thus redevelopment plan, name is called " Quasar "

[@Poke_Souls]

I wonder how the pokemon action rpg will work in a city and where you will find the pokemon

[@johtojonny]

That's one of my biggest questions. I mean the Pokemon on the side of the building I talk about in here gives me hope. Especially when paired with that Dragonair scene

[@4llister]

I cant wait for them to release more news on the switch 2,, like if they didnt show any gameplay because of this like you said they might show some gameplay in the switch 2 reveal video or sth 😭🤚 Very hyped for this title

[@johtojonny]

Same! It seems like it'll also be on switch 1 but we all know we want the switch 2 version! Loll

[@thatonespacenerd1272]

A new pokemon hype cycle, a return to viewing one of my favorite analysts! I know the games are likely more than a year out, but I’m already biting for more info about the new Pokemon Legends! I wish this teaser weren’t so void of information! Everything except returning pokemon feels like speculation. On the note of speculation, though- you mention here how you think this game will take place in the future with the hologram aesthetic of the teaser. I’m still not sure how I feel about that, personally- a legends game in the future would be really cool, but I do also wanna see some 1880’s Paris Reconstruction! It’d be neat if they took elements of the modern, ongoing, and lighter Paris reconstruction (the eco-friendly one) and blended it with the classic one where the Eiffel Tower was built. I have 2 main hopes for the story route of this game, but I feel like they may be quite opposed to each other… 1) Lumiose City through the Ages: With the existence of AZ in Kalos, I feel like a time travel setting would be really cool, where you could go to different points in Lumiose City’s growth. What I have in mind here specifically are The Initial Founding, where there will be more wilderness, and Lumiose is nothing more than a Fishing Village- maybe around the time of the Great War, even; The Classical Age, with some nice 1800’s French Architecture (and around a similar time-frame in the Pokemon Chronology as PLA, so those pokeballs could come back); and the modern/future one, where you get the modern pokeballs, the Lumiose Fashion Scene, and presumably the 5 plazas have been expanded to cultivated ecosystems with wild Pokemon. Zygarde could be causing issues in all these times because of the city’s rapid expansions, and you’d get to see AZ more throughout his very, very long life. If there were more time periods, it could be interesting to see him come to terms with his immortality and the atrocities he committed. 2) Lumiose Noir: Hello? XY postgame called, they want their premise back! This is a bit of a pie-in-the-sky type of thing, but I feel like it’s a perfect idea to make detective-work the main thing of a pokemon game set exclusively in a city. I don’t have much to say, because I think it’s pretty self-explanatory beyond this. I hope the expanded scale of Lumiose means more Paris Landmarks, too- Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Catacombs would be *sick* in Lumiose City. *Especially* the catacombs, that’s perfect place to stuff all the ground and ghost pokemon in the somewhat more mature legends games (at least, I hope Legends stays somewhat more mature) And lastly, as always: hoping for young adult or customizable age protagonists.

[@johtojonny]

SpaceNerd! I missed you, bud! Wow amazing comment! LUMIOSE NOIR IS RIGHT! Honestly I really hope they take advantage of all the buildings and npc's and really make the city a living, breathing world to explore. We better get lots of side quests, lots of indoor spots to access, and lots of adventure and plot! With the confines of the city I hope it means they're really gonna flesh out everything inside the way we'd expect a modern game to. The catacombs would ESPECIALLY be awesome! And could eventually lead us to Zygard! Like I said in the video I do believe we'll have an underground area to explore

[@thesandman2426]

Here's something that is admittedly speculation. But if the A is a reference to the ultimate weapon, then either we go to Geosenge town or the ultimate weapon is moved to Lumiose city. This is all assuming that we will see the ultimate weapon at all.

[@RodhiShartedHarded]

after the shot of talonflame flying it shows fletchling fitting the title Z-A

[@natethejay]

JONNY JONNY BACK WITH THE BIG ANALYSIS VIDS! My day is made! HOLY COW that pokemon on the side of the building!!!!! I cant believe i missed that! Im so excited for megas to come back and I HOPE YOURE RIGHT ABOUT THE FOLLOW MECHANICS CAS THAT WOULD BE AMAZING please gamefreak do it!!!!! Man this is so exciting and this video makes it even more exciting! I cant wait for pokemon 2025!!

[@johtojonny]

I'm almost 100% I'm right about how the follow mechanics will work! And yes if they're putting Pokemon on the sides of buildings I can only imagine what other creative ways they'll have them use the city as a habitat! OH! And how we'll catch them!

[@natethejay]

@@johtojonny I really hope so i believe in you so ill say your right for now! aaaaa i cant wait!!! I wanna see how we catch that pokemon on the wall now!

[@raymiemiller1455]

As for where wild Pokemon occur, remeber that Paris irl has an extensive maze of underground catacombs.

[@johtojonny]

Aha so I was right about an underground! Sweet! Thank you

[@dany_fg]

from what I've read it seems that the city of Paris had a major redevelopment during the time of napoleon. so maybe it's in this time period ?

[@johtojonny]

I agree I think it's around that time period... but time will tell 😆 *badumCHII*

[@Hunter-1028]

I don't think it will be in the future, the trailer was just a blueprint

[@FTChomp9980]

Hoping some new forms Axew Line really needs it! Plus in Kalos every Dragon Line was in it.

[@johtojonny]

YES that would be so cool! Also MEGA GARCHOMP IS COMING *chomp chomp*

[@FTChomp9980]

[@johtojonny]

YOU'RE A GARCHOMP FAN???!!! 🤯

[@ArgusLart]

I've loved the details you picked up on. It is only fair to imagine that everything we see on the teaser is alluding to gameplay features. Crazy Idea: What if, being ambitious and all that, this game starts with a basic or wasted lumiose city and while we complete quests and get resources, the city will build up to the point we see in the blueprint? But the idea of it being a Cyberpunk Pokemon is not bad either hahahahaha!

[@johtojonny]

Precisely! While the game might not look exactly like this in action, I do believe it's alluding a lot to things we'll see included! As for the building from absolute scratch theory, that's definitely a possibility! And would also go with theories about this being after some sort of mass destruction

[@1rkhachatryan]

Yay!!! New analysis video

[@johtojonny]

Oh sweet! I haven't looked at anyone else's yet cuz I been working on mine but I'm curious to compare! So wait do you think it IS or ISN'T taking place in the future? Personally I'm torn I really can't tell but first instinct told me it's still the past

[@1rkhachatryan]

@@johtojonny Haha I just know that you always find things others don't so I don't even need to compare, your reputation speaks for itself :). I think it is in the future. Unless it's in a different universe, it doesn't make sense for it to be current Lumiose as there are ZERO wild pokemon in the current lumiose city which totally goes against the goal of the game which is a place that humans and pokemon can live in harmony.

[@johtojonny]

@@1rkhachatryan I thought that too! But I'm wondering if that was just because of hardware limitations. There's really no way to know so far as there are signs pointing in BOTH directions!

[@1rkhachatryan]

@@johtojonny Limitations or not they have to work with the canon they established lol. Course we know theirs multiple timelines so they could just use that. I just think a future game would be so cool considering we saw what a past game was like already :).

[@johtojonny]

@@1rkhachatryan I agree but who knows how much they care about it. You're right they might just say "new timeline" 😅

[@shadowoflugia]

I’m imagining wild Pokémon AND trainer-owned Pokémon within the city, and me tryna catch a Pokémon owned by a trainer if it’s hard to tell, and this action triggering a conversation with the angry trainer 😂

[@katelynsewell3928]

If done right, PLZA will dethrone the shit out of both PLA and ScVi! Also I don’t think KZbin worked with me on this but I may have discovered that in PLZA you aren’t 100% stuck in Lumiose City based on what Pokémon Japan Twitter account said about it and using the ever reliable Google Translate I translated it into this. In 2025, a new challenge in the Pokemon series, Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, will be released on Nintendo Switch! A new adventure begins in Miare City, which is undergoing urban redevelopment with the aim of creating a city where humans and Pokemon coexist. Apparently Miare is what Lumiose is called in Japanese! Either way I’m optimistic for PLZA!!!! 💚 Edit: I checked your other video on PLZA and sure shit it didn’t saved my comment. 😡

[@johtojonny]

Awww Katelyn I'm not so sure that wording hints at leaving the city 😅 I WILL say though that I DO think there's a possibility we leave the city at least once but more in a way like how you got banished from Jubilife in Legends Arceus and had to go to Cogita's reserve. Just a small extra area or so and that's probably it

[@johtojonny]

Also WHATTT I swear a saw a comment from you on it!? Or maybe I'm misremembering?!?! KZbin comments have been acting funky for like the past year or so smh

[@katelynsewell3928]

@@johtojonny Ok thanks for letting me show it to you! Like I said I’m actually fine either way because some of the best video games like Final Fantasy 7 and Batman Arkham Knight were in the city 100% of the time and still came out great! 👍

[@miguelpinto3594]

Best analysis video out there. I haven't seen anyone talk so in depth about the trailer like you. Thank you

[@johtojonny]

Thank you! I'm surprised honestly. I haven't looked at any others since I was making my own but I've been doing this for years so feel free to stick around since I'll be doing more analysis videos for this and future trailers!

[@mattrogers6107]

Hmm… I think maybe we’ll start in the present/future, then something (most likely Zygarde) will launch us back in time. My guess, if that’s how it goes, is that we’ll work towards a goal that’s noble, something will have been missed, and it’ll wake Zygarde up in a huge rage to come and kill us. When we get blasted we wake up at the base of the still under construction Lumiose tower, and our new mission is to figure out exactly what went wrong and try to prevent it. Perhaps we’d even be coordinating with the people of our original time, like… planting a row of trees then saying “is Zygarde still pissed off?”. Could also explain why we’d be limited to Lumiose City without needing to resort to some cataclysmic event having damaged the rest of Kalos: what better excuse to lock us into a city than “if you leave then everyone in the region is gonna have to deal with a VERY angry Squishy”.

[@tobejiru]

By the way, the Japanese website for Legends Z-A defined the reading for Z-A as ゼットエー; Zed A so without the "to" as you were eluding to in the video. Of course, Zee A works too since the Japanese use the British-English Zed (Zetto) instead the American Zee

[@coopsaf]

The Lumiose Tower needs to be talked about more. It’s the biggest central figure of the city and on the map it shows. There’s going to be a lot to do with the tower I would guess. Way more than just a gym from X and Y.

[@Edward_G.C]

You forgot at 10:38 there is a symbol that says "quasar" which is most likely the organization that is handling the redevelopment plan for Lumiose City. Because quasars are very bright objects and Paris is known as the city of light. But I have a theory, what if this quasar is the evil team? Where their goal is not only to redevelop Lumiose City, but something related to the ultimate weapon: 1. If you look at its shape, the quasar has a shape like a galaxy which has a laser beam fired from the center, where TUW (The ultimate weapon) works by shooting a laser beam. 2. Quasars work by being powered by black holes, where black holes will suck up material around them and convert it into energy and light for the quasar. Which is similar to TUW which sucks Pokemon energy and converts it into energy to activate TUW 3. The design of the A in the PLZA title is similar to the shape of TUW TLDR: The quasar team has a goal related to The Ultimate Weapon

[@zephdo2971]

They'll do SEASONS. The Avenues are named after them

[@johtojonny]

I was thinking this exact thing actually but forgot to put it in the video! I'll definitely shout you out in the next one for reminding me!

[@another_day6325]

I think there is some possibility that this is actual gameplay footages or rather in-game building and models used for this fancy wiremesh style they did here. Anyway I think PLZA is definitely a switch 2 title because legends is thier experimental title they have very less care for its sales as evident by announcing the next game a month after, so they are willing to risk it so legends is a good way to realese a game on console with obviously less fan base than what switch has now. With this they get enough time for people to get comfortable with the new console and they can have the grand sales for the gen 10.

[@JvsBobGaMeZ]

I hope this game will be the best looking Pokémon game and one of the best looking games on switch

[@johtojonny]

It almost definitely will be as these outlines are most definitely concept art brought to life. No way they'd downgrade from this it'd only turn people away and they know it

[@Xtarlina27]

The timeline matters not to me for now, but players will leave a mark in history for this Legends game one way or another, and Zygarde might go in a fit of rage when the balance of life is heavily disrupted in any point of Kalos’s timeline.

[@ribbonbows4321]

I thought that it might be set in the 19th century as Paris was entirely redeveloped to make it look as it does today by a guy named Haussmann

[@V.U.4six]

The animated tour looks like blue print style to me, doesn’t necessarily reflect anything that’s super futuristic or anything like that

[@drpuffington_]

Still wishing it was in the past but very excited 🎉

[@johtojonny]

It probably is! But still no way to know for sure

[@zephdo2971]

Concept reminds me of Traditional Drafting vs Computer Aided Design

[@Chris4Battle]

I’m not sure it’ll be in the future but a future game would be dope.

[@geniusHitesh]

My theory is There is a circle in each part ,I think there are also some noble Pokemon which stops workers to develop that area Our job is to stop those pokemons

[@TheCorey1734]

People say that they see both GTA and Cyberpunk. What? I mean, I guess, but what I see is Assassin’s Creed. Maybe it’s just the fact that you can’t see outside of the city.

[@johtojonny]

Oh boy I can't wait to follow the Pokemon from the rooftops, jump down, and choke them out 😍 Lolol in all seriousness the comparisons to gta and cyberpunk is just because those series take place entirely within city limits haha

[@Summonsloth]

👀

[@joopvanhedel1372]

Lumiose City is based on Paris. Paris is one of the oldest cities ever, thousands of years old. Paris expanded about 200 years into the city we know today. about the same time as Legends arceus is based on. So no legends ZA is not in the future

[@johtojonny]

I figure it's in the same period as Legends Arceus but had to give time to each possibility here since there are signs pointing in both directions

I'm all for pokemon trainers looking more realistic but as a wannabe animator,it's kinda sad to see that in the gaming community people(not saying you) seem to think realistic=good and cartoony=bad and on that topic if café remix has no fans that means i died😂

[@johtojonny]

Aw I def don't think cartoony is bad. I would love to see these realistic proportions with a cel shaded aesthetic tho! A similar art style to Legends Arceus but even more mature. Sounds kinda cool to me! Maybe even a more vibrant color palette this time around too
