The battle bond ability got changed in SV most likely because the kalos starters will all get megas in PLZA. The bond transformation was only in the anime to give ash a mega like starter and they are now erasing ash stuff from the games and possibly the anime as well, like it wouldn’t surprise me if in the game someone mentioned they want to buy the perfect hat for pikachu so when they finally get the hat pikachu z crystal they look great or they give friede and captain pikachu the z crystal saying any pikachu with a hat can use it.
Many of the things that you said could happen, like I want to know more about the Lumiose Ghost Girl (aka Hex Maniac) and who "the one" she is searching is and why it's so important to her. If this game takes place in the past like in Legends Arceus, we're more likely to learn some things regarding the ancestors of certain characters and how they influenced their descendants in the current day.
i was thinking about how the battle bond greninja would work like maybe go up to a froakie friendship rater and if it's friendship is high enough when it evolves the friendship rater will change it's ability to battle bond i hope you like my idea🙂
@KharlynneProvince The old battle bond is not coming back and kalos starters will be getting megas in PLZA imo and having the new battle bond on greninja or any other Pokémon will probably be like you can change it with a ability capsule or its rare in the wild like own tempo rockruff
I can see them answering a few questions in Legends: Z-A. Afterall, they did answer some in Legends: Arceus. We found out how Spear Pillar was made and named. We learned the origin of the name Sinnoh. Heck, the game even sorta answers how Pokeballs works. So I'm sure some questions will be answered.
@@Lupinemancer87 Did we find out how Spear Pillar was named? Volo makes a comment about how the broken pillars are like spears stabbing the sky, but only the player character hears him
Guys come on, is there anyone who actually believes Eternal Flower Floette is a Paradox Pokémon? She's a Floette form, not a different Pokémon like the Paradoxes are, her design is nothing like the Paradoxes, she doesn't look feral nor robotic, and lastly, she's alive for 3000 years ago while the Paradoxes were discovered only 200 years ago...
Heath noted the paradoxes 200 years ago. But this means that whatever brings them there has existed for long before the professor's machine and may be a naturally occurring force, likely due to Terapagos sleeping in the basement. It's likely been going on ever since the crater itself has existed, which is what, two million years? That said, even if the flower itself is from another era, Floette herself isn't.
Here are some of mine: [1]: The ultimate weapon is a Pokémon. I think that this will be what 'A' is. [2]: We get a Zygarde Core and the Zygarde Cube at the start of the game. [3]: The Cells are scattered around the city, like the Spiritomb Wisps in LA. [4]: The Cores will be obtained by completing milestones in the story. [5]: Z-A is a fusion of the ultimate weapon, the Zygarde Cells, and a set of artificial Cores (basically anti-Cores, to make the Cells compatible with the ultimate weapon). [6]: Z-A's attack will unleash an aura that puts humans and Pokémon into a state of conflict with each other, which was the opposite of the vision of the URP _('A vision of beautiful coexistence between people and Pokémon...')._ This would effectively bring the URP from the end to the beginning, or from 'Z to A'.
Predction: new Mega Evolutions in Z-A will lead to either a reversion back to Mega Evolution in Gen 10, all gimmicks being included in Gen 10 main games, or an eventual Pokemon Showdown-esque program being available on Switch that allows past gimmicks/items/etc. to be used.
I honestly can’t see them doing that. Especially with Gamefreak’s current outlook on content within the games. While controversial given their status as a company, they seem to be wanting to cut back the workload of the games. I’d be shocked if we even get Mega Evolution (arguably the only one that should return) back in Generation 10. Let alone any of the other gimmicks. If Mega Evolution did return outside of Z-A, it would more than likely just be an optional mechanic because I doubt they’d allow any past gimmicks in competitive VGC.
Not only that, having all the gimmicks in one game, would provide that Z-Moves and Dynamax/Gigamax will not be used by anybody. I mean...why will you use those if you have acces to Mega Evolution, which enhances stats and doesn't wear off when you switch out or a gimmick that changes your type and gives a boost of the moves of those type.
@@Mystmon the only gimmick that shouldn't return is dyna/gigantmax, not only is a blatant fusion of the previous 2, but it had so many restrictions on when it could be used, and not only that but not counting pokemon masters, in all other forms of media, it's the one gimmick that is hard locked to Galar, the other gimmicks can be used whenever and wherever they want to ve, be it the games or anime. As Ash used Z-moves outside alola, and the more recent anime horizon's Friede terra'ed his Charizard in Galar. Dyna/Gigantamax meanwhile just seems so hard locked to the Galar region, with there being high energy requirements to be used they might as well leave it there.
Well we know they had a flying type planned for SM so that is most likely what is next but could see flying, dragon and bug with wings and it could be like eevee holds this new feather and if it atk is higher evolve to flying if its defense is higher it bug if they are equal it evolves into dragon.
The thing about the Draconids having a probability of being in Legends Z-A is very interesting. The subtle hint about Rayquaza and Zygarde having a role in the game because of the anime is something very interesting to think about.
Its not set in the past though, since the past poses a lot of problems for XY. 1. We know how Lumiose XY looks like... Wild Pokemon and People don't live in there peacefully 2. We cannot get new Mega Evolutions for mons that are in the Kalos dex, cuz they cannot explain why they weren't in XY. 3. They already delved into the future of Kalos in the Alola games, with the events of Kalos being mentioned, but also that Zygarde cubes/cores were a recent discovery.
Here's my star guess The Kalos starter will have Megas & Legends ZA starters are Serpireror (Grass/Fairy) Cinderace (Fire/Steel) Feraligatr (Water/Fighting)
Those are most likely the starters yes... Just watch out for people coming and say: Nope, we aren't getting Serperior and Feraligatr, because we got gen 2 and gen 5 in Legends Arceus...and we don't want recycled starters Like... its not like there are many options. I mean Gen 1 and 3 have Mega's, so unlikely to become starters if the starters get Regional forms, because then they also need to give those starters Mega Evolution Gen 4 starters have gotten recent focus with BDSP, Legends Arceus and Kitakami DLC with the egg from Jacq. Legends Z-A will be gen 9, which means Sprigatitio, Fuecoco and Quaxly still fall in the generational marketing cycle, which means its too soon for them to get new forms. So that leaves Gen 2, Gen 5, Gen 7 and Gen 8. The only thing i hope is that we don't get the Fighting typing on a starter for at least 3 more games... since i am so sick of them.
Going back and forth in time, like how Guardian Signs did? I’m up for that! There is so much potential in what you said and what could be, I’m excited either way! *PLEASE GIVE US MEGA FLYGON ALREADY! MY BABY HAS BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUGH!*
Eternal Flower Floette being a Paradox Pokemon makes no sense due to what a Paradox Pokemon is. Eternal Flower Floette is of our own timeline. A unique existence in it. It isn't a different species of Pokemon from an alternative timeline.
If there is no Dragon Eeveelution i will riot 🔱🔥 -Mayhaps ghost girl has something to do with the scary house! Maybe their stories will be tied together. - I love Az. He seemed so cool. He also makes me think of Sean Bean and i will not elaborate. - i hope we get paradox florges!
MAYBE WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHO THE ONE IS... PS I AM A HUGE GAME THEORY FAN SK THINKING ABOUT THE GHOST GIRL AGAIN GOT ME THINKING... WHAT IF "THE ONE" IS ASH? HE HAS SAVED THE WORLD MANY TIMES AND TIME TRAVEL EXISTS NOW WITH THE TIME SPACE DISTORTIONS AND AREA ZERO SO NOW SHE COULD FIND OUT ABOUT HIM...
I wish Az Floette was able to evolve and you could catch one. Florges is one of my favorite Pokemon, I love the whole Flabebe line to be honest, and AZ Floette is really cool looking. I've seen fan art of Az Florges and it looks so sick.
The game is going to be in the future, xerneas and yvetal will get primal forms, starters (Chimchar, Sobble, snivy), Kalos starters will get Megas (water poison, grass rock, fire fairy), the legendary steeds and Regis will have new members
[1]: I agree. [2]: This would be cool, although I think I would prefer it if Zygarde got new forms based on Xerneas/Yveltal. [3]: I think that they will be Snivy, Scorbunny and Piplup. [4]: Possibly. The LZA starters could also receive Megas. [5]: I disagree. The former got Paradoxes last year and the latter got two new members in Sw/Sh-CT, so I don't think they need anything else for now.
@ I was talking about greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught getting mega evolution. I think the Regis and legendary steeds make sense getting a revisit because there is multiple ages that happened in Europe and France that may have happened to Kalos such as a dark age and poison age. Then there is the steeds which is based on the 4 horse men of apocalypse. Spectrier and Glastrier are based on the white and black horses. But there is still a red and green horse get to be represented
I have a prediction that a sentient Zygarde core will seek out the protagonist in this story, similar to Bonnie from the anime. Another related prediction to be shot down -- we'll see an Ash descendant who has a partner Greninja who'll likely challenge you to a Mega battle format. Think of the Red fight on Mt. Silver
The game is going to be set in the future, but not that far into the future that we are going to see an Ash descendant (Unless you meant Ancestor, which is also a problem from a storytelling/lore perspective, since Ash-Greninja was an anime only thing to begin with).
The zygarde core "squishy" wasnt seeking someone, it was just picked up by bonnie in the anime (well, it WAS seeking somone, but it was the other core and not a trainer)
Sure. We will probably get some new info along with a 2nd trailer, but I doubt they will just dump all the info about ZA in one go. They have spread out the info releases over the 6-7 months leading up to the release of the game for the last 4 releases.
@@Ninja_Geek tbh... depends on the releasedate for Legends Z-A, but also Switch 2. Speculation is now that Switch 2 drops in March (Is extremely likely, due to the fiscar year for Nintendo ending at 00:00 on March 31 2025). If Gamefreak has learned anyting about Legends Arceus and BDSP releasedate, is that they need to give them room to breath, either they do that, or make the same mistake release the game in November, only to announce gen 10 four months after on Pokemon Day 2026.
Gonna be that guy and burst that bubble on the Eternal Flower Floette theory. Eternal Flower Floette is not a Paradox Pokemon no matter what kind of mental gymnastics you do. Paradox Pokemon are from alternate timelines, Eternal Flower Floette is from our main timeline. It's stats are not similar to a Paradox Pokemon's, they are meant to be similar to Florges's, it's final evo. It doesn't have the cookie cutter ability that the Paradox Pokemon have, it has a normal one. So can we please stop with this dumb theory that had ZERO basis to begin with and was only backed up by "evidence" that people made up.
theories are fun. saying a lore theory is wrong because of stats is lame. nobody is claiming any pokemon theory is real, it's just a fun activity to link themes and ideas together when it fills plot holes and makes sense. give up on the numberwanking and embrace whimsy, bro
i think the ghost girl will be an npc, just a random girl npc that gives a comment or something that makes us know that it IS her, but we won't get anything else, she will just be a random npc girl that confuses you for someone else and then spends the rest of the game repeating the same dialogue of "you're not the one" or something like that we will see her alive, but be unable to do anything to change her destiny or even know what killed her
Can someone pls explain why we think the game is going to be set entirely in Lumiose City? I tried to find where this started, but I can't tell if it's official or a leak...
Maybe because we have only seen luminous city in the trailer and it only mentions that place, but who knows maybe we will see other places of Kalos but we need more information.
@@kirkcollier6307 no its not its on the official website it says a new adventure awaits within lumiose city, so like it or not we aren’t going outside of the city. which is pretty dang big but if you want to wait until we get a trailer to confirm that we already saw the whole overview of PLZA map ok. I’m just hoping we get catacombs under the city as well.
Even though its a different colour the symbol resembles the symbols over mirage spots in oras meaning hoopa can somehow link the 2 regions in the story in z-a
Going with the theory about different time or Era, what if we're playing as AZ? Or someone from the same era as him. Seeing the history of Kalos and Lumioes city change.
I wonder if maybe they would think megas are tied to Zygarde originally (like a trainer discovered it during a time of turmoil, since megas other than rayquaza supposedly only came to be after the ultimate weapon was fired if I recall correctly) and zygarde keeps the balance. Maybe this in turn caused some of the draconids to become upset at the disrespect to rayquaza and for them to form this possible ‘evil team’. Idk it’s just an idea. Also maybe they confused bond forms for megas?
Alternate theory. Ghost Girl is not a ghost. She is a psychic using astral projection to search for someone. The "ghost" is actually an astral projection.
Agree with all of your predictions, I can defiantly see all of them happening. Also great find regarding the Synchro Machine symbol on the Lumiose City map, that was a good one dude
When the game was announced, I thought about the possibility of the player character being the one to discover mega evolution. I still hope that happens.
I theorize that Z Megas will be the "legendaries" or "Gigantamax"es of Mega evolutions, with special stats and moves beyond that of normal Megas, as well as only being allowed on certain Pokemon (gift mons, special encounters, raids(
Man, I just want an Unown with the Bloodmoon Ursaluna treatment, gather all 28 and put them in orbit of the one you like the most and done, keep hidden power super effective toward anything (x4 when possible) but the rest of its moves are just support (Reflect, Protect, Helping Hand etc.) and for its ability just call it Alphabetical which grants the ability to cause random status effect at the end of each turn (10% precision)
I would really love to explore Lysandre in his youth. He's been described as a noble and kind person. Also well-travelled. The youth Lysandre could be the one who aided the city with the Urban Redevelopment with his prototype of the Holo-cast. Something really tragic must have happened. Anyway, the A in Z-A logo resembles the Ultimate Weapon and Z suggests that Zygarde could fuse with it.
I hope we get to play as our own Pokemon, it'd be so cute running around the city as a mischievous Fennekin or Chespin. Maybe we could do errands or something like that. I'm also hopeful that we can find out about that ghost girl. Right now, though, what I'm most curious about is where the Kalos starters will be. Since this is a legend game, I will be using all three Kalos starters if possible.
Im thinking that, since in legends arceus, the main protag is from unova and travels BACK in time to past sinnoh, we will do a slight opp in legends za. I think we will start at the beginning of the development of lumious city. Then some organization will try to time travel and take over the future lumious city since they couldn't in the time we start the game in. Then we have to follow them, we see how far the city develops and rescue it from the bad guy of our time, having an epic battle on the tower since he found the plans on how it all works. Saving both times and zigard, and the ultimate weapon.
I’ve got a weird one: either Mega or Kalosian Hatterene. Going back to the reference to the stickers in SV, of Hatenna, Sinistea and Applin. The latter two got stuff with the DLC (Poltchageist and Dipplin) but the Hatenna line didn’t get anything. Buuuuut Liko has a Hattrem in the anime now. If the anime is eventually going to tie into PLZA, that could be the point where the Hatenna line gets something unique. I know the evidence is mostly circumstantial, but still, it’d be neat.
Can’t wait to go back to this video in 6 months after seeing none of these features in the game and all we get is a bare bones, glitch/bug filled mess just like scarlet and violet
Imagine your Greninja but you get to make your own custom battle bond Greninja form with your own Pokémon drone Pokémon character get the custom market battle exactly like a custom character. Would that be cool?
My one wish assuming they impliment the synchro machine is that flying/levitating Pokémon are actually able to fly similar to Koraidon/Miraidon are in SV.
I agree with you on the Rayquaza playing a part. I brought this up to my fiancé, but he thinks I’m wrong so I’ll bring it up to you and see what you think. He’s known as a peacekeeper of sorts right? He also lives in space or the ozone layer. What if the question isn’t time but space. What if you’re brought as a peacekeeper to a different dimension? We already know that the Pokémon games function on different timelines, one with and one without mega evolution.
For me personally, I was hoping they were gonna go to Johto for the new game. Theres so much lore they could tap into there that I would be so stoked for. But I do hope we hear something about the ghost girl. Even if it is a throw away line. I heard that "the one" is a certain trainer ID # and whoever has it would get something. But idk if that was debunked or what. I would love a Mega-Zoroark. I've been a fan since day one. But Something about that Werewolf looking dude is badass to me. Both regular and the hisuian forms. Given how we did get the new variant last game, I wouldnt be surprised if it doesn't. Also would love more Strange House Lore, and perhaps something touching on the powerplant we never got to go to
"Eternal Flower" wouldn't be the name of any Paradox Pokémon, because the character limit for a Pokémon's name is 12. "Eternal Flower" has 14 characters.
I would love to see Ash-Greninja making a comeback to the games, whether it’s a rewritten bond phenomenon form or a mega evolution. I would also love to see more Mega Evolutions, both old and new, in the game.
If Pokemon who already have mega evolutions get new mega evolution forms in ZA, I could see these being called their "Z form" even if they aren't Charizard or Mewtwo.
I think that mega evolution is not something that will be that accesible. Maybe related to the bond phenomenon, only pokemon you have a bond with will be able to mega evolve
i'm still wondering on how Mega Greninja will work (yes I expect it and the other 2 kalos starters to get them this go round) will they give it a new design or retcon the Ash-Greninja form to be it's mega, lazy I know, but the anime didn't exactly lock in how that form came to be, and it could've been that Ash was simply triggering the mega state without a key stone, but hey if they can make a cooler looking mega form for Greninja go for it.
I'm not convinced ZA will take place in the past, my reasoning is this: in PLA, there are "time-space distortions" responsible for bringing items and pokemon from throughout time to that location, and while Arceus themself brings the player, it's ultimately to stop the distortion problem. Time and space (as well as the distortions) are directly linked to Dialga and Palkia, so I don't see a reason for the game to open with a similar time jump. Instead, I wonder if during this "Lumios City Restoration" we saw in the initial teaser, something will be disturbed or disrupted causing the legendary pokemon to go crazy.
Yeah, i am also convinced its not taking place in the past. Heck... i am convinced it takes place in the near future... give or take 10/15 years after XY. Past poses a couple of problems in regards of Lumiose City itself (Since then the future Lumiose would be the XY Lumiose and we know it doesn't have the wild Pokemon and People live together in harmony, they want to go for in Legends Z-A). Past also poses a problem for new Mega Evolutions for Pokemon that are in the XY dex, since they cannot explain why they weren't in XY. They already delved into the future in the Alola games, where Sina/Dexio have visibly aged and have talked about the Kalos events + the Zygarde Cores/Cubes being recent discoveries.
My predictions: 1. The Ultra Beasts are going to play a role in this game 100% 2. Ash Greninja/Battle Bond Greninja is definitely returning, but the other two starters are definitely getting a battle bond form as well 3. The Ultimate Weapon is an Ultra Beast 4. Charizard is DEFINITELY getting a Z Mega Evolution, mark my words. You know very well that the Pokemon Company loves that overrated Lizard with wings 5. Pikachu is definitely getting something new in this game, I´m very sure the Pokemon Company will want to give something new to their franchise mascot. Maybe a Battle Bond Pikachu or even a new attack 6. Fantina´s ancestor is going to play a role in this game 7. Eevee is getting a new evolution, most likely Dragon Type. Medieval France is known for stories about knights fighting dragons and Eevee getting a Dragon Type will most likely happen very soon 8. Dragonite and Flygon are getting Mega Evolutions for sure 9. Riley´s Ancestor will be the first trainer to ever Mega Evolve Lucario 10. AZ will play a role in this game 11. Time Travel will be a feature in this game 12. The Syncro Machine will allow us to play as our Pokemon in a Pokken type of style 13. The Tapus from Alola will also play a role in this game
No all we know about this game is its entirely in lumiose city and they want to update the city for Pokémon and people. A lot thinks it is may-July 2025.
Regrading to the bond Phenomenon we should be able to see ash grenija the same since in the ninja village ep in xy is look really simlier to what ash grenija became and also if you look back their were 2 other paintings so i wonder will those other 2 people in in legneds za
I think this would be a good time to roll Battle Bond and Mega evos into one and have Megas act the way they are described in lore. No held item, but once your bond is high enough with the Pokemon you unlock the option to Mega evolve in battle with it.
Prediction we won’t get any allusions to who the ghost girl is. Megas will not get any lore answers they still… exist. No Eternal Flower Floette. It’ll be just a legends game… in a big city.
I can't wait to learn AZ's brother is named ZA ^^ Jokes aside, imo we will be modernising the city & it'll let us do a change in the past (eg approve building of a clothing store) and travel to the future to see how it plays out (you can buy clothes in the future) + get side quests that let you prevent bad outcomes in the future (so you give clothing store owner a water stone for their Eevee/get them a water type pokemon & it prevents the store from burning down)
Problem is that we cannot delve into the past, since that makes XY Lumiose the future. Thats kinda the issue with all the: Legends Z-A has to be set in the past.
So what do we think of these predictions? Do you have any of your own? 🤔

Don't forget mega Charizard A

Guys come on, is there anyone who actually believes Eternal Flower Floette is a Paradox Pokémon?
She's a Floette form, not a different Pokémon like the Paradoxes are, her design is nothing like the Paradoxes, she doesn't look feral nor robotic, and lastly, she's alive for 3000 years ago while the Paradoxes were discovered only 200 years ago...
People are actually seriously believing that theory??
The discussion took too much of the video run time, I agree. Not a good inclusion, sorry Hoop.
Heath noted the paradoxes 200 years ago. But this means that whatever brings them there has existed for long before the professor's machine and may be a naturally occurring force, likely due to Terapagos sleeping in the basement. It's likely been going on ever since the crater itself has existed, which is what, two million years?
That said, even if the flower itself is from another era, Floette herself isn't.
Also the paradoxes, besides Koraidon and Miraidon, all either have Protosynthesis or Quark Drive, which EF Floette obviously has neither
At best Eternal Flower Floette is more of a Bloodmoon Ursaluna special case, a normal Pokémon that manage to become more “special”
If the Draconids will appear in Z-A in some way and they'd need a representative, Drasna is right there in my opinion as the preferable option
Here are some of mine:
[1]: The ultimate weapon is a Pokémon. I think that this will be what 'A' is.
[2]: We get a Zygarde Core and the Zygarde Cube at the start of the game.
[3]: The Cells are scattered around the city, like the Spiritomb Wisps in LA.
[4]: The Cores will be obtained by completing milestones in the story.
[5]: Z-A is a fusion of the ultimate weapon, the Zygarde Cells, and a set of artificial Cores (basically anti-Cores, to make the Cells compatible with the ultimate weapon).
[6]: Z-A's attack will unleash an aura that puts humans and Pokémon into a state of conflict with each other, which was the opposite of the vision of the URP _('A vision of beautiful coexistence between people and Pokémon...')._ This would effectively bring the URP from the end to the beginning, or from 'Z to A'.
I really really like those ideas for A and will be adding them to my Wishlist for Z-A
I find it funny that we have a game called Pokemon LA, let’s go hit up the casino💅💅💅
We see the weapon in XY and we are also given its backstory. Not a Pokémon
@@johnroberts524We could get an even deeper backstory in LZA.
@johnroberts524 yea, its a big ol flower, not sure why they suggested it to be a pokemon (it literally destroys a town to make room for itself lol)
You will finally be able to catch Eternal Flower Floette.
Predction: new Mega Evolutions in Z-A will lead to either a reversion back to Mega Evolution in Gen 10, all gimmicks being included in Gen 10 main games, or an eventual Pokemon Showdown-esque program being available on Switch that allows past gimmicks/items/etc. to be used.
Having all gimmicks in the same game would be way too complex, unbalanced, and unfeasible. However, I can see two gimmicks being in one game.
I honestly can’t see them doing that. Especially with Gamefreak’s current outlook on content within the games. While controversial given their status as a company, they seem to be wanting to cut back the workload of the games. I’d be shocked if we even get Mega Evolution (arguably the only one that should return) back in Generation 10. Let alone any of the other gimmicks. If Mega Evolution did return outside of Z-A, it would more than likely just be an optional mechanic because I doubt they’d allow any past gimmicks in competitive VGC.
Not only that, having all the gimmicks in one game, would provide that Z-Moves and Dynamax/Gigamax will not be used by anybody. I mean...why will you use those if you have acces to Mega Evolution, which enhances stats and doesn't wear off when you switch out or a gimmick that changes your type and gives a boost of the moves of those type.
I dont think having mega rayquaza with dynamax z move tera flying dragon accent is gonna happen chief
@@Mystmon the only gimmick that shouldn't return is dyna/gigantmax, not only is a blatant fusion of the previous 2, but it had so many restrictions on when it could be used, and not only that but not counting pokemon masters, in all other forms of media, it's the one gimmick that is hard locked to Galar, the other gimmicks can be used whenever and wherever they want to ve, be it the games or anime. As Ash used Z-moves outside alola, and the more recent anime horizon's Friede terra'ed his Charizard in Galar.
Dyna/Gigantamax meanwhile just seems so hard locked to the Galar region, with there being high energy requirements to be used they might as well leave it there.
My prediction: We finally are getting ninth eevelution and It's gonna be ghost type.
I think if anything it´ll be Dragon Type
Well we know they had a flying type planned for SM so that is most likely what is next but could see flying, dragon and bug with wings and it could be like eevee holds this new feather and if it atk is higher evolve to flying if its defense is higher it bug if they are equal it evolves into dragon.
Let’s be real they more likely to give eevee a mega lol
The thing about the Draconids having a probability of being in Legends Z-A is very interesting. The subtle hint about Rayquaza and Zygarde having a role in the game because of the anime is something very interesting to think about.
Who knows, the operation to teleport the meteor was called project AZoth, and Ascent starts with A.

If legends ZA happens in the past, the ghost girl might still be alive
Good point dude
Its not set in the past though, since the past poses a lot of problems for XY.
1. We know how Lumiose XY looks like... Wild Pokemon and People don't live in there peacefully
2. We cannot get new Mega Evolutions for mons that are in the Kalos dex, cuz they cannot explain why they weren't in XY.
3. They already delved into the future of Kalos in the Alola games, with the events of Kalos being mentioned, but also that Zygarde cubes/cores were a recent discovery.
I hope we get to battle MR. Bonding and he has the Battle Bond Greninja. He's the perfect character to get it.
Here's my star guess
The Kalos starter will have Megas
&
Legends ZA starters are
Serpireror (Grass/Fairy)
Cinderace (Fire/Steel)
Feraligatr (Water/Fighting)
There i said it and that's it!
That would line up, as none of them have confirmed mega evolutions like sinnoh starters.
Those are most likely the starters yes...
Just watch out for people coming and say: Nope, we aren't getting Serperior and Feraligatr, because we got gen 2 and gen 5 in Legends Arceus...and we don't want recycled starters
Like... its not like there are many options. I mean
Gen 1 and 3 have Mega's, so unlikely to become starters if the starters get Regional forms, because then they also need to give those starters Mega Evolution
Gen 4 starters have gotten recent focus with BDSP, Legends Arceus and Kitakami DLC with the egg from Jacq.
Legends Z-A will be gen 9, which means Sprigatitio, Fuecoco and Quaxly still fall in the generational marketing cycle, which means its too soon for them to get new forms.
So that leaves
Gen 2, Gen 5, Gen 7 and Gen 8.
The only thing i hope is that we don't get the Fighting typing on a starter for at least 3 more games... since i am so sick of them.
Going back and forth in time, like how Guardian Signs did? I’m up for that! There is so much potential in what you said and what could be, I’m excited either way!
*PLEASE GIVE US MEGA FLYGON ALREADY! MY BABY HAS BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUGH!*
Eternal Flower Floette being a Paradox Pokemon makes no sense due to what a Paradox Pokemon is. Eternal Flower Floette is of our own timeline. A unique existence in it. It isn't a different species of Pokemon from an alternative timeline.
I could see the flower itself perhaps having some wild story to it, but Floette's wild story has already been told
Instead of a Z mega evolution, what about a Z & A mega evolution for charazard and mewtwo?
As much as I don't want to see the flying orange lizard from Kanto get a 3rd mega, I wouldnt be surprised at all if it did.
I want it ❤
I will not be surprised when having a save file for PLZA opens up the northeast corner of Paldea to reveal southern Kalos....
Not going to happen
Sounds way too good to be true
On the time travel aspect, it would fit very well with the current mainline games being a past and future theme
If there is no Dragon Eeveelution i will riot 🔱🔥
-Mayhaps ghost girl has something to do with the scary house! Maybe their stories will be tied together.
- I love Az. He seemed so cool. He also makes me think of Sean Bean and i will not elaborate.
- i hope we get paradox florges!
Interesting dude
MAYBE WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHO THE ONE IS... PS I AM A HUGE GAME THEORY FAN SK THINKING ABOUT THE GHOST GIRL AGAIN GOT ME THINKING... WHAT IF "THE ONE" IS ASH? HE HAS SAVED THE WORLD MANY TIMES AND TIME TRAVEL EXISTS NOW WITH THE TIME SPACE DISTORTIONS AND AREA ZERO SO NOW SHE COULD FIND OUT ABOUT HIM...
@@johnwells48 WHY ARE WE YELLING
there WILL NOT be any type of new Eeveelution till we get a PERMANENT new type or 2 BEFORE we get that continued.
@@johnwells48 if I was able to get a hold of game freak, I would tell him about this
Ooh maybe they’ll do Z-Greninja, Z-Delphox and Z-Chesnaught rather than what they did with the legends areceus starters with hisui forms
Hey could do both, adding up to 9 new forms to the dex
They will most 100% not call them Z-Greninja, Z-Delphox and Z-Chesnaught because of the Z-Moves.
Ghost girl isn’t exclusive to kalos, she really started in b&w
Yeah but we knew that ghost girl and her motivations, died to darkrai and wanted to return the wing of cresselia
@ it’s the same girl bud… there was nothing in the game saying that, it’s a fan theory. We don’t actually know.
I thought she started in DPPt
there's only one guarantee for Legends ZA--Mega Charizard Z
I wish Az Floette was able to evolve and you could catch one. Florges is one of my favorite Pokemon, I love the whole Flabebe line to be honest, and AZ Floette is really cool looking. I've seen fan art of Az Florges and it looks so sick.
The game is going to be in the future, xerneas and yvetal will get primal forms, starters (Chimchar, Sobble, snivy), Kalos starters will get Megas (water poison, grass rock, fire fairy), the legendary steeds and Regis will have new members
[1]: I agree.
[2]: This would be cool, although I think I would prefer it if Zygarde got new forms based on Xerneas/Yveltal.
[3]: I think that they will be Snivy, Scorbunny and Piplup.
[4]: Possibly. The LZA starters could also receive Megas.
[5]: I disagree. The former got Paradoxes last year and the latter got two new members in Sw/Sh-CT, so I don't think they need anything else for now.
@ I was talking about greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught getting mega evolution. I think the Regis and legendary steeds make sense getting a revisit because there is multiple ages that happened in Europe and France that may have happened to Kalos such as a dark age and poison age. Then there is the steeds which is based on the 4 horse men of apocalypse. Spectrier and Glastrier are based on the white and black horses. But there is still a red and green horse get to be represented
I have a prediction that a sentient Zygarde core will seek out the protagonist in this story, similar to Bonnie from the anime.
Another related prediction to be shot down -- we'll see an Ash descendant who has a partner Greninja who'll likely challenge you to a Mega battle format. Think of the Red fight on Mt. Silver
The game is going to be set in the future, but not that far into the future that we are going to see an Ash descendant (Unless you meant Ancestor, which is also a problem from a storytelling/lore perspective, since Ash-Greninja was an anime only thing to begin with).
The zygarde core "squishy" wasnt seeking someone, it was just picked up by bonnie in the anime (well, it WAS seeking somone, but it was the other core and not a trainer)
I don´t think we´ll know anything of Legends ZA until February. It´s clear they are going to release all the info and trailers around Pokemon day.
Sure. We will probably get some new info along with a 2nd trailer, but I doubt they will just dump all the info about ZA in one go. They have spread out the info releases over the 6-7 months leading up to the release of the game for the last 4 releases.
@@Ninja_Geek tbh... depends on the releasedate for Legends Z-A, but also Switch 2. Speculation is now that Switch 2 drops in March (Is extremely likely, due to the fiscar year for Nintendo ending at 00:00 on March 31 2025). If Gamefreak has learned anyting about Legends Arceus and BDSP releasedate, is that they need to give them room to breath, either they do that, or make the same mistake release the game in November, only to announce gen 10 four months after on Pokemon Day 2026.
Gonna be that guy and burst that bubble on the Eternal Flower Floette theory. Eternal Flower Floette is not a Paradox Pokemon no matter what kind of mental gymnastics you do. Paradox Pokemon are from alternate timelines, Eternal Flower Floette is from our main timeline. It's stats are not similar to a Paradox Pokemon's, they are meant to be similar to Florges's, it's final evo. It doesn't have the cookie cutter ability that the Paradox Pokemon have, it has a normal one. So can we please stop with this dumb theory that had ZERO basis to begin with and was only backed up by "evidence" that people made up.
theories are fun. saying a lore theory is wrong because of stats is lame. nobody is claiming any pokemon theory is real, it's just a fun activity to link themes and ideas together when it fills plot holes and makes sense.
give up on the numberwanking and embrace whimsy, bro
8:25 We already have one. It's called Team Sky.
I think they should do a crossover.
People were upset at charizard’s 2 megas no one said anything about mewtwos
i think the ghost girl will be an npc, just a random girl npc that gives a comment or something that makes us know that it IS her, but we won't get anything else, she will just be a random npc girl that confuses you for someone else and then spends the rest of the game repeating the same dialogue of "you're not the one" or something like that
we will see her alive, but be unable to do anything to change her destiny or even know what killed her
Can someone pls explain why we think the game is going to be set entirely in Lumiose City? I tried to find where this started, but I can't tell if it's official or a leak...
Maybe because we have only seen luminous city in the trailer and it only mentions that place, but who knows maybe we will see other places of Kalos but we need more information.
I believe it's stated on the official Pokémon website
It’s on the Pokémon website the game will take place entirely in lumiose city is what it says. It will probably have a underground area like BB.
Due to mistranslations
@@kirkcollier6307 no its not its on the official website it says a new adventure awaits within lumiose city, so like it or not we aren’t going outside of the city. which is pretty dang big but if you want to wait until we get a trailer to confirm that we already saw the whole overview of PLZA map ok. I’m just hoping we get catacombs under the city as well.
Charizard Z Mega let’s gooooo
Even though its a different colour the symbol resembles the symbols over mirage spots in oras meaning hoopa can somehow link the 2 regions in the story in z-a
I loved this video, the first I saw of this channel
Going with the theory about different time or Era, what if we're playing as AZ? Or someone from the same era as him. Seeing the history of Kalos and Lumioes city change.
I wonder if maybe they would think megas are tied to Zygarde originally (like a trainer discovered it during a time of turmoil, since megas other than rayquaza supposedly only came to be after the ultimate weapon was fired if I recall correctly) and zygarde keeps the balance. Maybe this in turn caused some of the draconids to become upset at the disrespect to rayquaza and for them to form this possible ‘evil team’. Idk it’s just an idea. Also maybe they confused bond forms for megas?
so hyped for this game. currently replaying arceus
Alternate theory. Ghost Girl is not a ghost. She is a psychic using astral projection to search for someone. The "ghost" is actually an astral projection.
The fact we haven’t gotten any updates or announcements is crazy and disappointing
Agree with all of your predictions, I can defiantly see all of them happening. Also great find regarding the Synchro Machine symbol on the Lumiose City map, that was a good one dude
When the game was announced, I thought about the possibility of the player character being the one to discover mega evolution. I still hope that happens.
Aster’s design sketch was leaked in the ORAS Tera leak btw
I theorize that Z Megas will be the "legendaries" or "Gigantamax"es of Mega evolutions, with special stats and moves beyond that of normal Megas, as well as only being allowed on certain Pokemon (gift mons, special encounters, raids(
I’m just really excited to see what this game has in store for us when we get more details about it.
Man, I just want an Unown with the Bloodmoon Ursaluna treatment, gather all 28 and put them in orbit of the one you like the most and done, keep hidden power super effective toward anything (x4 when possible) but the rest of its moves are just support (Reflect, Protect, Helping Hand etc.) and for its ability just call it Alphabetical which grants the ability to cause random status effect at the end of each turn (10% precision)
I would really love to explore Lysandre in his youth. He's been described as a noble and kind person. Also well-travelled. The youth Lysandre could be the one who aided the city with the Urban Redevelopment with his prototype of the Holo-cast. Something really tragic must have happened. Anyway, the A in Z-A logo resembles the Ultimate Weapon and Z suggests that Zygarde could fuse with it.
As long as I can use Mega Sceptile in the story I’m happy.
I hope we get to play as our own Pokemon, it'd be so cute running around the city as a mischievous Fennekin or Chespin. Maybe we could do errands or something like that. I'm also hopeful that we can find out about that ghost girl. Right now, though, what I'm most curious about is where the Kalos starters will be. Since this is a legend game, I will be using all three Kalos starters if possible.
Im thinking that, since in legends arceus, the main protag is from unova and travels BACK in time to past sinnoh, we will do a slight opp in legends za. I think we will start at the beginning of the development of lumious city. Then some organization will try to time travel and take over the future lumious city since they couldn't in the time we start the game in. Then we have to follow them, we see how far the city develops and rescue it from the bad guy of our time, having an epic battle on the tower since he found the plans on how it all works. Saving both times and zigard, and the ultimate weapon.
If we get Battle Bond Greninja, I’d like Battle Bond forms for the other starters too, although that’s assuming Greninja is a starter.
I would like to hear an in game reason why no pokemon from that gen recieved a mega evolution.
@@JBnights1 honestly not giving a single Kalos Pokemon a mega was inexcusable
I’ve got a weird one: either Mega or Kalosian Hatterene.
Going back to the reference to the stickers in SV, of Hatenna, Sinistea and Applin. The latter two got stuff with the DLC (Poltchageist and Dipplin) but the Hatenna line didn’t get anything.
Buuuuut Liko has a Hattrem in the anime now. If the anime is eventually going to tie into PLZA, that could be the point where the Hatenna line gets something unique.
I know the evidence is mostly circumstantial, but still, it’d be neat.
not gamefreak waiting until the reveal's first year anniversary to tell us what the game is actually about 💀
So thankful I just heard about it a couple weeks ago
Can’t wait to go back to this video in 6 months after seeing none of these features in the game and all we get is a bare bones, glitch/bug filled mess just like scarlet and violet
Imagine your Greninja but you get to make your own custom battle bond Greninja form with your own Pokémon drone Pokémon character get the custom market battle exactly like a custom character. Would that be cool?
My one wish assuming they impliment the synchro machine is that flying/levitating Pokémon are actually able to fly similar to Koraidon/Miraidon are in SV.
I agree with you on the Rayquaza playing a part. I brought this up to my fiancé, but he thinks I’m wrong so I’ll bring it up to you and see what you think. He’s known as a peacekeeper of sorts right? He also lives in space or the ozone layer. What if the question isn’t time but space. What if you’re brought as a peacekeeper to a different dimension? We already know that the Pokémon games function on different timelines, one with and one without mega evolution.
WAIT WHAT IF "THE ONE" IS ASH!?
For me personally, I was hoping they were gonna go to Johto for the new game. Theres so much lore they could tap into there that I would be so stoked for. But I do hope we hear something about the ghost girl. Even if it is a throw away line. I heard that "the one" is a certain trainer ID # and whoever has it would get something. But idk if that was debunked or what.
I would love a Mega-Zoroark. I've been a fan since day one. But Something about that Werewolf looking dude is badass to me. Both regular and the hisuian forms. Given how we did get the new variant last game, I wouldnt be surprised if it doesn't.
Also would love more Strange House Lore, and perhaps something touching on the powerplant we never got to go to
"Eternal Flower" wouldn't be the name of any Paradox Pokémon, because the character limit for a Pokémon's name is 12. "Eternal Flower" has 14 characters.
So what your saying is its time to up the character limit for pokemon names.
Imagine if Gigantamax forms we turned into Z Mega Evolutions
I'll say it now we need a new pre-evolution shared by both Heracross and Pinser to better tie them together
I would love to see Ash-Greninja making a comeback to the games, whether it’s a rewritten bond phenomenon form or a mega evolution. I would also love to see more Mega Evolutions, both old and new, in the game.
I think the ghost girl will probably be alive in za
I wouldn’t be surprised if pokemon z-a gets shown literally the last day of 2024 it would be funny on the pokemon company’s part
It be cool to see charizard and mewtwo get a third and fourth mega evolution within Z-A
Mega Ninetales, Mega Tentacruel, Mega Milotic, Mega Probopass, Mega Hariyama, Mega Slaking and Mega Tyrantrum
I want them to add riding your pokemon and seeing them follow you like in the Lets Go games
I just hope we finally get to catch AZ's Floette.
What if you play as AZ and firsthand see the creation of lumiose city up until the modern version?
If Pokemon who already have mega evolutions get new mega evolution forms in ZA, I could see these being called their "Z form" even if they aren't Charizard or Mewtwo.
I think that mega evolution is not something that will be that accesible. Maybe related to the bond phenomenon, only pokemon you have a bond with will be able to mega evolve
i'm still wondering on how Mega Greninja will work (yes I expect it and the other 2 kalos starters to get them this go round) will they give it a new design or retcon the Ash-Greninja form to be it's mega, lazy I know, but the anime didn't exactly lock in how that form came to be, and it could've been that Ash was simply triggering the mega state without a key stone, but hey if they can make a cooler looking mega form for Greninja go for it.
I'm not convinced ZA will take place in the past, my reasoning is this: in PLA, there are "time-space distortions" responsible for bringing items and pokemon from throughout time to that location, and while Arceus themself brings the player, it's ultimately to stop the distortion problem. Time and space (as well as the distortions) are directly linked to Dialga and Palkia, so I don't see a reason for the game to open with a similar time jump. Instead, I wonder if during this "Lumios City Restoration" we saw in the initial teaser, something will be disturbed or disrupted causing the legendary pokemon to go crazy.
Yeah, i am also convinced its not taking place in the past. Heck... i am convinced it takes place in the near future... give or take 10/15 years after XY.
Past poses a couple of problems in regards of Lumiose City itself (Since then the future Lumiose would be the XY Lumiose and we know it doesn't have the wild Pokemon and People live together in harmony, they want to go for in Legends Z-A).
Past also poses a problem for new Mega Evolutions for Pokemon that are in the XY dex, since they cannot explain why they weren't in XY.
They already delved into the future in the Alola games, where Sina/Dexio have visibly aged and have talked about the Kalos events + the Zygarde Cores/Cubes being recent discoveries.
@@nickdentoom1173It's Game Freak and Nintendo's franchise, they can go back on their own words and change storylines up.
Little Town Hero was a trial run for PLZA
Oh god, Syncro Hide and Seek in Lumios city is going to be a nightmare.
If Game Freak gave Charizard a third mega evolution I would unalive myself in front of the Game Freak Headquarters.
Hope you had a good day
My predictions:
1. The Ultra Beasts are going to play a role in this game 100%
2. Ash Greninja/Battle Bond Greninja is definitely returning, but the other two starters are definitely getting a battle bond form as well
3. The Ultimate Weapon is an Ultra Beast
4. Charizard is DEFINITELY getting a Z Mega Evolution, mark my words. You know very well that the Pokemon Company loves that overrated Lizard with wings
5. Pikachu is definitely getting something new in this game, I´m very sure the Pokemon Company will want to give something new to their franchise mascot. Maybe a Battle Bond Pikachu or even a new attack
6. Fantina´s ancestor is going to play a role in this game
7. Eevee is getting a new evolution, most likely Dragon Type. Medieval France is known for stories about knights fighting dragons and Eevee getting a Dragon Type will most likely happen very soon
8. Dragonite and Flygon are getting Mega Evolutions for sure
9. Riley´s Ancestor will be the first trainer to ever Mega Evolve Lucario
10. AZ will play a role in this game
11. Time Travel will be a feature in this game
12. The Syncro Machine will allow us to play as our Pokemon in a Pokken type of style
13. The Tapus from Alola will also play a role in this game
they are making a rayquaza raid of course that is foreshadow.
Pokemon Day is still 3 months away. That's not "right around the corner".
This whole year is zooming along. Three months will pass in an instant
Depends how old you are. Pretty sure I blink and 3 months pass sometimes. 🤷
Tiktok aah brain
Hopefully Mega Greninja and some others Kalos Pokemon getting a Mega Evolution for legends ZA game
Gamefreak: Aw that’s cute, people think we will ever touch on any lore we put out. *WHAT A PITY*
I am curious, if we get more Paradox Pokemon...will they also Mega Evolve?
Do we know when za comes out?
No all we know about this game is its entirely in lumiose city and they want to update the city for Pokémon and people. A lot thinks it is may-July 2025.
Regrading to the bond Phenomenon we should be able to see ash grenija the same since in the ninja village ep in xy is look really simlier to what ash grenija became and also if you look back their were 2 other paintings so i wonder will those other 2 people in in legneds za
I think this would be a good time to roll Battle Bond and Mega evos into one and have Megas act the way they are described in lore. No held item, but once your bond is high enough with the Pokemon you unlock the option to Mega evolve in battle with it.
Prediction we won’t get any allusions to who the ghost girl is. Megas will not get any lore answers they still… exist. No Eternal Flower Floette.
It’ll be just a legends game… in a big city.
I can't wait to learn AZ's brother is named ZA ^^
Jokes aside, imo we will be modernising the city & it'll let us do a change in the past (eg approve building of a clothing store) and travel to the future to see how it plays out (you can buy clothes in the future) + get side quests that let you prevent bad outcomes in the future (so you give clothing store owner a water stone for their Eevee/get them a water type pokemon & it prevents the store from burning down)
Problem is that we cannot delve into the past, since that makes XY Lumiose the future.
Thats kinda the issue with all the: Legends Z-A has to be set in the past.
If there is bond phenomenon, we may see a Pokémon game with three character choices, one for each starter, and the bond forms may look like them.
PLEASE!! That's all I ask for from PL:ZA...
I agree with you on that one
Bro if infernape doesn’t get a mega, im going to crash out
I really want more Bond formes
New eeveelutions is all i care. Mega Evo is just temporary after ZA or maybe gen 10 no more mega.
We need a mega Raichu TBH, and the original region trio deserves it more than anyone.
I truly hope not releasing it this year means it’s gonna be more complete at launch than other switch releases
Zinnia is draconid there for if zinnia is there draconids are there
Isn't it kind of obvious that you will be playing AS a young A-Z in the Legends game?
That was my first thought when I saw the trailer
