Alright, so there’s this game coming out soon, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. I think it’s October 16th, if my memory serves me right. Anyway, it’s like this blast from the past where you wander back to Pokemon X and Y’s Kalos region. You know, that one with Lumiose City—which, if we’re honest, is like a maze of “where the heck am I?” Now you get to roam around with a mix of starter Pokemon—Chikorita, Totodile, and Tepig. Bit of nostalgia, right?
Here’s where things get interesting—or not, depending on your feelings about Mega Evolutions. Rumor has it, 27 Pokemon might get these new Mega forms. But, oh joy, if you’re a Bug or Electric type fan, you might be left twiddling your thumbs because they’re supposedly getting overlooked. Bummer.
Okay, diving deeper into the Mega stuff. Game Freak’s been pretty hush-hush about which Mega Evolutions are making a comeback—like, they confirmed some, like Mega Charizard X and Y (yay dragons!) and Mega Sableye, but we’re in the dark about others. And let’s not even start on the legendary ones. Mega Rayquaza? Mega Mewtwo? Who knows if they’re showing up.
But the grapevine whispers about 27 new forms. Here’s a quick rundown, though I might forget some: Mega Clefable, Mega Starmie, Mega Dragonite (gasp!), and even Mega Greninja. I mean, can you imagine Mega Greninja with an intense water move? Sweet!
The types? Well, no one’s sure if they’re sticking to their original ones or mixing it up. Like, I remember Gyarados shifting from Flying to Dark after mega evolving. Heck, anything’s possible.
Spoilers or not, here’s why you might care: these new forms could amp up the roster, bringing the total to… well, I lost count. Fairy, Water, Fire, you name it—they’ll probably have some fancy Mega version. And, fingers crossed, maybe just maybe Scolipede and Eelektross get the love they deserve. Imagine Mega Scolipede going from Bug/Poison to Bug/Dark, getting all mean and tough. Or maybe Bug/Water, just to mess with Centiskorch’s head.
Oh, and Eelektross, could totally see it becoming part Water or Dark. Like, if it’s true to its “drag-its-prey-underwater” lore, it’d be an absolute beast with a speed boost!
Anyhoo, that’s the buzz. Whether you’re in it for the Mega Evolutions or just to wander through Lumiose City lost as ever, Pokemon Legends: Z-A sounds like a wild ride. Can’t wait to see if it delivers or fizzles out. Guess we’ll have to wait and see, huh?
