Hey everyone- with 90 days remaining to the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A; I thought I would expand upon points I have mentioned ahead of next week's Pokémon Presents livestream; and correct a few misconceptions I keep seeing.

First off, this game isn't a spinoff- it is canon to the main games; as shown with the presence of characters and mechanics from previous titles. This is also the case with Legends Arceus. I also don't think the size of the map will be a problem, as I've played titles with similarly-sized ones before. Lastly, I do not see the similarities to Xenoblade as someone who isn't a fan of that franchise. Honestly reminded way more of SMT/Persona, which is a very good thing.
Now, let's expand on ideas that I've been wanting to for a while. I am curious to see what role Quasartico plays, especially if there are ulterior motives in their "urban redevelopment plan." Having said motives for urban development and profiting off it is certainly not a stretch these days. The presence of characters and ideas from X and Y does tell me those games are still canon.
Gameplay-wise, I am still eager to see how the real-time combat system fares. Given how this is a first-party Nintendo title with all that comes with it; it will indeed be the ideal game to send off this era of the franchise. Some are claiming this is a "make or break" moment, and I would respond "is it though?" Even with the launch kerfuffle, the Switch 2 will be cementing the redemption arc for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. I keep hearing this game was going to be out a year ago, before the SV launch and all its fixes. So, it was likely an internal delay.
That will be all for now, and I will see you after the Pokémon Presents next week. Take care, and seek out all Pokémon.
