The fact that you can recognize XY so quickly, logo's, different pokemon, landmarks, this is why your channel is the one I come to when I see new announcements. Thank you for your expertise and excitement, looking forward to seeing your coverage on more news to come!

[@dillonstanley796]

I mean, Lumiose is the most iconic location in Kalos.

[@brandonwalters4327]

Z-A is A-Z backwards (like the alphabet), not just to make reference to AZ but to signify going backwards to the past.

[@boodstain]

Depends when development began tbh, but hopefully they are.

[@NationalPjVillain]

It’s probably because the switch 2 is rumored/leaked to be realising for early 2025 so they’re probably releasing this as a launch title on both the switch 1 and 2

[@kasagure.]

[@xbloxlive5454]

If they learned from their mistakes let's hope they apply this to their main games!

[@alessandrosimonguerreroseg8651]

I hope they try to change that, a new game every year is nice but their release schedule is not healthy for them, i dont think 2024 gonna be dead year either, whith the popularity of the franchise and the amount of no main games they could entertain the fans while they focus in the main dish🤔

[@ValianceGames]

Crazy that they hit us theorists with not only another Legends game like we hoped, but also Pokemon Z. Doesn't this make it the first time we've seen Furfrou in about a decade?

What's interesting is, like how PLA seemed to be based on the Meiji Restoration time period, Paris had a big redevelopment starting in the 1850s.

[@samgardner4667]

All of the people in that city were dressed in modern clothing. They were also battling, they were using Poké balls, and none of it seemed like it was an uncommon thing for them. If it was truly the past, it would be more like PLA, where there was nothing.

[@jannfredryckmatias3545]

​@@samgardner4667 Maybe because "that city" is actually the vision of the future, or the modern times. Which in the perspective of the people in the past or during/before the Lumiose redevelopment, would be the future. So yeah "that city" in the blueprint would make sense that the people have modern clothing and battling and Pokéballs, since they are part of the depictions for the redevelopment plans. So, likely "that city" is what Lumiose we saw in modern X and Y, and we haven't seen yet what Lumiose will be in PLZ-A.

[@samgardner4667]

@@jannfredryckmatias3545 how do you “redevelop” something that doesn’t exist yet?

[@jannfredryckmatias3545]

@@samgardner4667 I dunno, maybe because the city actually does exist. The old Lumiose (which existed and different to what it looks in modern times) is redeveloped into the Lumiose today. Lumiose is redeveloped into a new vision. Both past and modern states of the city existed. Kinda like how old Paris (which also existed) was redeveloped into a new Paris, like how it happened in the 1850s as OP cited. What was shown in the trailer was not the past, but the modern Lumiose. But either way, an old Lumiose existed to be redeveloped into the modern one.

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

@samgardner4667 are you under the impression that every point in the past in every location was the exact same? Odds are good that A:this game is still in the past, just slightly further into the future than Legends Arceus, or B:Kalos was simply ahead of Sinnoh(or Hisui, as it were) in terms of development.

[@MamaWolf920]

NEW POKEMON LEGENDS GAME! I’m super stoked and looking forward to this! I loved the past tense setting of PLA but I kinda wanna see if we’ll get a more modern setting for LEGENDS Z. I love PLA. The idea behind it is just so satisfying and there’s so many different ways to collect Pokémon and I love it.

[@BlackEyed]

Please tell me i am confused... Is it like Legends Arceus or A remake of Pokemon XY like Ultra sun or Pokemon platinum?

[@Kazumadesss]

@@BlackEyed since its Legends, you would assume its like Arceus but with Kalos

[@inspectorvoid]

@@Kazumadesssso no gym battles or trainers to battle? Just running around collecting and doing a quest log?

@@inspectorvoid theres no confirmations yet if they have changed that formula or not so i can't say for certain, it's possible

[@KC-ql6dd]

"So many ways to collect pokemon" bro what other ways besides throwing the balls? Breeding? Oh wa-

[@GeneralNickles]

The "Z to A" implies that there's an A pokemon. I have a feeling it will be a fusion of xernaeus, Yveltal, and 100% Zygarde. Kinda like the kyurim fusions. I'm also calling it now that the way you unlock mega evolution is by creating said fusion.

[@sheridathompson7091]

The A doesnt have to be a pokemon it could be human

[@gustavju4686]

Z-A could also be a call back to the Omega and Alpha from the Hoenn remakes. AZ was the one who called dubbed the trio with the titles of the omega, the alpha, and the delta. Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if he also named ZAcian and ZAmazenta (or ZArude) that.

[@user-ee6lk1pb6w]

It's most likely Arceus. They're gonna be back and drag us back again through time involving us with the hijinks that's happening in past Kalos

[@sheridathompson7091]

@@user-ee6lk1pb6w this doesn't look like it's set in the past though

[@omegadrive9999]

I'm assuming that or at the very least some of the major Mega Evolution Stones will be unlocked by defeating this game's equivalent of the frenzy noble Pokémon.

[@settheworldonfire94]

I have immense respect for kalos. I was a beautiful region in which we just didn’t get enough time. It got me back into Pokémon after missing two generations. I am so excited for the new legends game!

You literally took the words out of my mouth! Got back into playing Pokémon games with XY. So hyped to see what PZA will bring!

[@halomasta21]

I’ve never played Kalos but I tend to see a ton of hate towards it that doesn’t seem deserved to me, so I’m so happy to see it getting love. Gives me a reason to go get a copy of X or Y so I can finally play it though!

[@jjveliz10]

It got the shortest end of the stick out of any pokemon game because it never got an enhanced version/sequel up until now. Seems like they want to revisit some ideas from back then.

[@anthonymiller6914]

Upvote this every time

[@daccrowell4776]

Interesting...just the title is enough to spark off a few ideas. Z-A is curious, right off the bat. Yep, it's probably a reference to AZ. But consider this: "Z-A" is indicative of one thing ending and another beginning, like a loop starting over. What the loop is, though, that could refer to any number of things... 1) Lysandre. Keep in mind that while the Weapon was firing, we got out...but Lysandre didn't and we're supposed to presume that he died. But if it had the same effect on him as it did on AZ, this might not be the case...and perhaps he has a new scheme...? 2) This will tie a number of loose threads together, mostly pertaining to AZ. At this point, there are indications of AZ's activity in Hoenn (the mysterious tree in Sootopolis), Paldea (the ancient plaque in the Crater's next to last level), Galar (if you buy the theory that the ripped-up central area was the "impact site" for the Weapon) and of course, Kalos. HOW these all connect and WHY could be a big deal, one they've been dropping hints about for a while. 3) .za is the Internet code for South Africa. This could be total nonsense...or it might be a hint at a new region that we'll see part of in this release. Or maybe not. 4) The "mega" effects from different regions could receive a unifying explanation. And it's possible that we just might find out what DID happen to Wattson's halted underground projects, as the lore on those indicated that "something" was found deep underground that necessitated stopping the energy production facility and Wattson's underground city project. And there's a few other underground things in Hoenn that potentially fit here. 5) The logo. The "Z" has Zygarde's skin pattern...but the other type there clearly refers to Rayquaza, plus it ALSO figures into AZ's narrative (the explanation for the tree in Sootopolis, ie: "It is the Delta", etc. And another point about the delta symbol that AZ hinted as is the fact that, in physics and related fields, "delta" always refers to a state of change, often changes in energy levels or states. ALL of these revolve around the Weapon, seemingly. And consider: all we know about it is that it was hella powerful and had catastrophic results when fired. Could the lore here cover something such as the concept that there may have been a previous technological society that AZ's weapon blasted back to the Stone Age in a much larger catastrophe than we saw in the explanation in XY. Lots to unpack...and of course, lots of possibilities, rumors, speculation, conjecture. I get the feeling this is going to get really wild.

[@scoobie4207]

will we finally get our hands on AZ's floette and access to that light of ruin move? only time will tell

[@HorseMelons]

My theory is that since they stated Legends ZA will take place “entirely within Lumiose city”, the game will be in some kind of future setting where the “urban redevelopment” is expanding Lumiose City into the entire region. It could be something like letting the player develop the city themselves by exploring out into the region.

[@samgardner4667]

I think something similarly. I keep getting silenced for telling people that this is going to take place in the future, I keep getting shouted down because they were like “legends is in the past, bro” that trailer looks too futuristic to be in the past.

[@PinkPuff07]

​@@samgardner4667I think the game is going to be taking place in the past around a few years after Legends Arceus. Taking real world history and seeing a pokémon loves to adapt it. I feel like they're going to adapt 1880-1890 periods of France. The industrial revolution just happened and France is going through an entire new urban development and eventually became the most beautiful city in the world. The entire conflict of the game could potentially be Zygarde trying to destroy the city and the new pokeball creations as disrupts the natural order of nature and the entire game would be the protagonist trying to calm down and reason with Zygarde

[@BreakGlassForMemes]

@@samgardner4667 The Urban Redevelopment of Paris is a real thing that happened in the past. And since the previous legends game was based off real history, I think this will be too.

[@Goultardtheiopgod]

Possible but dont assume things and say them as fact we have no information as of yet and tons of people are already stating stuff as fact without actually knowing

[@TheTanMan2069]

Could be based on the French catacombs

[@Foxxinsoxx]

I saw that Pokémon Legends Z-A is now categorized as a mainline game. Also, I teared up when I saw the Mega Evolution symbol and sound! And also again lol 😂, the “releasing simultaneously 2025” makes me think it’s going to be a launch title for the next generation Switch

[@mbii7667]

They categorized Legends Arceus as a mainline game too

[@NotsoEthos]

DUDE!!! I legit screamed when I saw legends z-a! Pokemon x and y meant the most to me (spare the greats: r, s, lg, fr) and I was beyond upset when kalos didn't get anything! Legends arceus was great and and and! I'm excited friends!

[@BlackEyed]

Is it like Legends Arceus or A remake of Pokemon XY like Ultra sun or Pokemon platinum?

[@NotsoEthos]

I think it's going to be more like legends arceus but we never got pokemon z so it'll be a spiritual successor that hopefully will fill in some of the gaps (especially AZ)

[@meagannavarre7228]

I was not expecting a return to Kalos so soon, but I’m excited because Pokémon X brought me back into the franchise. I noticed that in the social media posts announcing the game, they say it will launch on “Nintendo Switch systems” in 2025. I feel like they usually just say the Nintendo Switch, but I could be reaching. The systems phrasing hints to me that maybe a new Switch is coming.

[@Drumbsticks]

Really glad to see the development timeframe is longer 👏 Hopefully this will give them more of an opportunity to refine and polish the game before launch

[@wallonO]

Being honest I won't be buying any more Pokemon games. They really need to setup the game experience.

[@christiancarreon412]

If you remember, the MC of PLA came from Kalos, maybe this is a continuation and the MC got sent home but to another time period

[@BlackGoldSaya]

Not the MC, the train guy. But could continue his story.

the CHILLS that flew through my body when the mega evolution logo popped up

[@michaelfox6582]

Pokemon B2/W2 releases on DS when the 3DS was already out, and US/UM released on 3DS after the Switch was released. Could see this being a Switch game if the Switch 2 is already out, especially so if the system is backwards compatible.

[@LividAF]

Since we're getting a Legends sequel, can Ingo go back home?

[@Mrgamewizard16]

XY was the first time i played a pokemon game EVER back when it first released. To see that story expanded upon brings back big nostalgia vibes. So looking forward to this.

[@JCXP123]

I just had your video in the background while working and WHEEZED out loud at the 2014 😂😂😂😂 On another note, thank you for recording/uploading even though you're not feeling too great. I hope you feel better soon, AJP!

[@conradbarnes9671]

X and Y were my first games so seeing the legends has me so F***ing happy right now dude ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[@vectoralphaAI]

I'm happy. Were finally getting Pokémon Z after so many years. And it may be for Switch 2 since its 2025. It's a good thing they are skipping a whole year and actually listening to fans and taking their time. This has potential to be amazing. Oh, and I'm hyped for new Kalosian forms and new MEGAS!!!! And for clarification, this game is a Legends game, so it is NOT in the future like many people have been speculating, it takes place in the past 3000 years ago during/ after the Great Pokémon war that destroyed Lumiose City, that's why they are Re-developing it again with the redevelopment plan. Plus, the name makes sense. Its Z-A because of the character AZ from X and Y.

[@Cinderace836]

The music at the start of the intro in the Legends AZ video got persona vibes

[@SShiro937]

Excited for the return of megas, hopefully we get new ones, my pick for starters in this Legends would be Litten, Snivy, Mudkip

[@rubensantos3489]

After so much time being able to listen the mega evolution sound made me goosebumps all over...the nostalgia...cant wait.

[@prospero6136]

I feel like this game is going to be on a new system and on the switch too. They kinda used PLA to test new dynamics and work towards what they wanted to build in S/V (open world, live battles, etc). PLA was clearly a way for the dev to test the limits of what they could do. I think this game will be used in the same way for the new console and for the 11th gen.

[@TheDarknash]

1:17 because it was foreshadowing for the contents on this direct!! lol

[@israelchavez6975]

To go back to Kalos, in a legends game, in another mainline game...I couldn't ask for something better. Mega flygon better be in there 😤

[@candymangames5022]

Why would the new Legends game say releasing simultaneously? Is this a hint of a multi-platform release such as switch and switch 2?

[@Rose_and_Thorne]

Simultaneously most likely just means it releases at the exact same time all over the world, rather than a worldwide release that takes timezones into account.

[@Outlaw93331]

Also, z-a reminds me of a book in the game talking something like project z is the end or something like that might have to download an emulator and replay x/y to find it been awhile and I no longer have a ds/3ds

[@The_Defiance]

I can’t wait not only will it have small details on Pokemon like in scarlet and violet but it will have mega evolution WITH the nice textures(I hope at least)

[@AeroQC]

Pokémon XY were the games that pretty much brought me back to the franchise so long ago. And having fallen out of love with it since my adventure in Scarlet, I think it's about time I went back and finished my adventure in the DLCs and finally picked up Legends Arceus before Legends Z-A comes out.

[@anothergenericyoutubename]

PLA is fantastic. I stopped playing the games after gold and silver, and PLA drew me back in because of it's simplified formula and actually finally being able to catch pokemon in the wild in real time. It was what every 10yo in 1998 imagined in their head when playing the og games.

[@mbii7667]

Yeah dude what are you waiting for?

[@matheusps92]

Considering the amount of Johto references everywhere I'm impressed there's nothing new in that region. I'm betting they are pushing these games forward after all the gen 9 backlash and Palworld's success. Good call if that's the case.

[@Outlaw93331]

Honestly glad its another Legends game. I know some are nad that they skipped gen 5 but to me focusing on a background legendary works so the next remakes for gen 5 may look into the justice trio

Starters will be Chikorita, Tepig and Popplio. They will alternative final forms. No megas for them just like XY starters didn’t get any at the time. Chespin and Fennekin will get megas. Ash-Greninja will be relabeled a mega. Potentially Charzard Z and Mewtwo Z Gen 7-9 most like to get new megas. Around 8 new regional forms/evolutions. That “A” might be a Lambda (Greek L) to tie into the Alpha, Omega and Delta of ORAS.

[@LisaMichelle98]

8:35 I think it's more likely that it was pushed back. Switch 2 was supposed to launch in November (and if it's really a 'switch' then they could use the logo), likely with a Pokemon game. I think that's also why it didn't show any form of gameplay, because they couldn't!

[@Jordan-xo8bp]

I expected a LITTLE MORE HYPE AUSTIN J

[@miruku6939]

THE INTRO IS GOLD.

[@manicxv8360]

Makes me wonder if there will be a remake before or after legends z-a. Since PLA had bdsp and there were some connections between those 2 in game

[@ayjay5344]

I wonder if they're completly redoing their release schedule or if its just to test things out. cause last year it was bdsp legends mainline are they going to do mainline remake in one year or one game a year or a year inbetween every game who knows its intresting to see whatll happen

[@411vs]

I never really played XY and the mega evolution so I’m kinda excited

[@sortasamm]

I'm so excited! Kalos is my favorite region and I really loved how refreshing Legends Arceus was, so I'm super hyped for this one. I'll gladly wait if it means a higher quality game.

[@RuneRaged]

Pokémon Y was my first game i bought on my 3ds and while i know its not gonna be the same game, im just really happy

[@Lazyboi8990]

That intro is goated 😂

[@liamlogsdon1099]

So I don’t want to say it’s inevitable, because you just never know with Pokemon and Game Freak, but I think it likely we get SOME new megas for Pokemon that didn’t have before. This is also in the past. So they could still use stones and a keystone for mega evolution. But if all mega evo’s are bond phenomena megas, and that maybe explains why in the future they no longer have megas for some mons. Kind of a thin theory but I kind of like it. What do others think?

[@thegamingking2823]

I like to think that the game will take place like in the early 1900’s where the city has been established but is now going to be reconstructed to be the city we see in x and y and there’s some theory of time travel based on the Z-A logo which could be interesting

[@FloweredAngelFilms]

love the intro - feel better soon!

[@user-ei8ew8xc7e]

Super excited!!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Now the we know what the logo looks like, im pretty sure it would be base on zygarde and a misterios legendary Pokémon. The patterns on the Z is totally the patterns Zygarde has. Plus is the Kalos region.

[@Pittcrew1034]

Amazing cliffhanger ad placement Austin…. Not even mad.

[@jakee.austin1012]

I'm 22 seconds into this video and it is already the best video of 2014 ❤️ I've watched the intro multiple times! Also Mega Evolution is by far my favourite mechanic and I love so many of the designs, hoping we get new designs as well!

[@MrAuthor3DS]

My guesses for Z-A's starters, based on France connections and how potential futurized forms could look: - Snivy (French royalty -> neon lights) - Scorbunny (soccer's popularity in France -> video game sports) - Popplio (French opera -> virtual idol)

[@roymuthee5094]

I think that legends z-a will take place in the future because mega evolution was a recent thing to happen in x and y storyline

[@JOELDSDLR]

there are 2 things I need to know about LEDGENDS: ZA A: What will the Starters Be? B: Will we See new RVs (Regional Variants) and/or Regional Cousins (or what is called "ecologically similar") of Past Pokémon?

[@jonesyt0650]

I took the title as referring to AZ and maybe his floette post war giving us back story on what happened from then to the story of x and y

[@Lolia.]

The new Legends announcement for XYZ might be the reason why the Pokemon Fit series for gen 6 hasn't been announced yet too! I'm excited for Megas again, there were some awesome designs and i'll be interested in if there will be any special variants again!

[@cuzicouldyay]

Legends Arceus was fantastic, and given the overwhelming success of Palworld I'd like to think they'd recognize that more Legends-style games are a great path to continue down. I've got hope for Legends Z-A. I'm really curious if there's going to be any innovation based on the Palworld pressure, or if Pokemon is just gonna stick to their guns. Also, please give us the special Floette. Please. :p

[@trueAzriel]

Hope you get well soon! to make a really wild guess, I would say, new PLZA next year on a Switch 2 and after reasing gen 2 a lot, this year will be a lets go Johto 🤭

[@logand1006]

I figure we were going to get a new Legends announcement but I did not expect to be going back to like my third favorite region. Kind of bummed we didn't get a gen 5 remake announcement but I can't say I was disappointed with the Presents today

[@user-hb4kz2if4m]

Got literal chills during the announcement of Z

[@calebpeterson]

That intro had me rollin

[@IndigoSTN]

That moment when quality of the video climbs to such a degree my man is putting in cold opens 😭 actually funny
