Legends Z-A Discovery Thread, posting all my findings

In Legends Z-A, Double Team is an auto dodge just like in the anime

>>58045405
Pokémon Research Lab got a makeover

>>58045411
Pokémon attacks happen directly, and can even cancel one or the other out depending on timing

>>58045417
Two new interiors are shown for the first time. One seems to be in one of Lumiose’s many restaurants, while the other is another room filled with boxes.

>>58045424
Ghost Pokemon roam the city streets of Lumiose!

>>58045428
Another new map icon has shown up, this one looking similarly to a Pokeball. It also can be Fly’d to.

The yellow new yellow icon is likely an indicator for the next part of the story. The green flag indicates which quest you’re actively tracking.

>>58045432
Boutiques make a return, with a notable lack of doors. The shops will likely be menu screens as opposed to having actual interiors.

>>58045436
A new blue icon appears on the mini map for side quests and likewise during side quests, citizens of Lumiose can comment on your endeavors.

>>58045441
If you look in the back, you can spot a Team Flare laptop, gaming chair, and Mable’s old visor.

Why is Mable the Professor you may ask? Because her name, Mable/Momiji, is after maple trees.

>>58045436
This made me realize shops were the same way in PLA, just it was less noticeable since it's not that unusual for a shopkeeper to be chilling infront of their store in a small village.

But god damn does that blow for a modern day setting.

>>58045444
During Rouge Mega Evolution battles, the player must avoid being hit by moves just like in Legends Arceus. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem like non-Mega Pokemon have damage animations, and instead an impact effect and the HP bar glow red.

>>58045449
To powerup your Pokémon to even use Mega Evolution in these battles, you’re going to have to collect Mega energy shards that drop after the Rogue Mega Evolved Pokemon is damaged.

Collecting these powers up your meter and allows Pokemon to go Mega!

>>58045452
The mysterious C+ symbol returns again, this time being used by a regular Pokemon as opposed to a Mega.

Also, confirmation that Pokemon can be hit with status effects like Confusion during the real time battles.

>>58045455
This old fellow has a very strong resemblance to the Striaton trio. With Lida also sharing a resemblance with Tierno, it’s very possible!

>>58045459
There are interactable objects in the city, such as giant breakable rocks, trash cans you can hide behind, and clusters of Mega Crystals

>>58045461
New food options means a new way to create meals, a possible Lumiose exclusive cooking minigame?

>>58045464
Following Pokémon is now the best it could ever be, as the Pokemon run right alongside you and can even appear in cutscenes

>>58045473
Another character with a relation to Team Flare who returns here is Emma. Emma is wearing her Expansion Suit, a tech suit created by Xerosic, Team Flare’s top scientistc that basically turns Emma into a superhero.

AZ, Mable, Emma, there seems to be a theme here

>>58045480
There is a new way of catching Pokemon in Z-A. Even if you defeat the Pokemon in battle, you are rewarded a brief interval where your catch rate is boosted for one attempt. If the time runs out or if the catch fails, the Pokemon will run away.

Buy an ad.

>>58045444
Not just that, but also because of pic related

>>58045484
Finally, customization is the most fleshed out it’s ever been and the game runs at a buttery smooth 4K60FPs

>>58045485
He did

>>58045484
Where is this from?

>>58045501
Kek you're just mad the squirrel chad was right. Horizons is flopping hard.

>>58045535
>Pointedly ignoring the images of squirrel admitting to samefagging in his shitcord.

>Let me post all my findings
>....which all can be dated back days ago by others
So good job on finding the posts from others? I can use a search engine and the archive too.

>>58045541
Post them

>>58045541
Considering all these were only ever posted in my discord, that doesn’t add up. Mind linking those posts?

>>58045568
>Immediate outing yourself as a shitcord user getting insecure about leakage of his circlejerk
Classic.

>>58045573
What?

Isn't that the faggot who completely fucked up the translation of the Magazines about ZA in the first news wave? Get the fuck out,

>>58045573
Are you retarded? My name is literally in the first image of the thread. Every single post was copy pasted from my discord. I’m the one who made whatever you’re talking about you dumbass.

>>58045405
How many attacks are we thinking will have a similar effect?

>>58045449
They also seem to be enlarged, Mega Tyranitar is not that big normally it's the same size as Dragonite, also the sky line looks the same as if you were in one of those portal zones from the original game and when fighting a dynamax battle

>>58045428
Catacombs deconfirmed?

>>58045576
Holy shit now I remember that one. Even got put on blast by a thirdie lmao. Xittertards can't do anything right.

>>58045576
>>58045640
Rent free

>>58045576
Yes. He's also behind a bunch of mistranslations related to the anime that are still floating around out there.

>>58045405
>just like in the anime
not really, in the anime double team creates shadow clones

>>58045436
Billion dollar franchise

>>58045673
>Shadow Clone creates shadow clones
No shit you mong.

>>58045669
What does that have to do with this thread

>>58045679
It's further examples of him being a retarded fuck that doesn't know what he's talking about?

>>58045673
>auto dodge

>>58045681
Can you disprove any of the posts in the thread right now

You still haven’t done this btw >>58045541 how does it feel to know I own you

>>58045676
I like how you're trying to phrase it not as a conscious choice made towards convenience for the player not needing to enter building after building just to find a specific pair of pants, but as a fuck up they've done wrong.

Yeah man, game freak not making it so you need to catch every single spinda to complete your pokedex is so lazy and incompetent.

>>58045694
And you’ll pay $70 + tax for it

>>58045682
it's not an auto dodge. In fact, you have a chance of hitting the real mon with an attack if they were shadow clones (increasing the evasion like it's supposed to be), rather than simply making the mon invulnerable like in ZA.

>>58045694
Getting this ass blasted about a simple phrase encapsulating the state of a franchise which is cutting corners in areas where they used to put effort into them even if it was for the smallest bits of immersion is really a dumb move.

You can just stay quiet instead of outing yourself as a die-hard shill for a game that isn't even out yet, would be less embarrassing.

>>58045679
>>58045689
Hi OP.

>>58045704
you act like people still shame anymore, be as depraved as you want to be, be as much of a shill as you're paid to be, as long as somebody is getting mad or actively being harmed by your actions it's all good, fuck the world make everyday hell for as many people as you can until your death, that's the only way to live.

>>58045701
That’s only certain instances. For majority of its usage it’s the equivalent to an after image in Dragon Ball.

>>58045708
Always remember I’m the one in charge :)

>>58045621
They really love putting big Pokemon in every game now
Totems, size variation, Dynamax, Alpha, Titans, now rogue megas

This game is a lot more full of content than I originally had anticipated. No clue why I didn’t expect for them to have side quests.

>Barely two hours
>Less than 60 replies, half of them are OP dumping trivial things that were noticed beforehand or getting angry with anons not being impressed with any of it.
>It's a Xitter thread
They should adapt /a/'s mod gimmick where a Xitter thread gets the public ban hammer with a fat disclaimer of them not being tolerated. You talk shit you get hit.

>>58045721
so much so they made their biggest pokemon yet with Eternatus yet the poor bastard never got to actually do anything, It's the biggest pokemon in the franchise yet we've only seen it's true size in the anime none of the games are strong enough to show it's real size just like Wailord

It's kinda wild to me they ended up doing that.

>>58045724
yeah, no clue why people are doomposting so much about the game when it's probably going to be the only competent product we've gotten in the past decade

>>58045621
The enlarge part I thought was obvious. Also, the battles can take place on different terrain, which will no doubt effect how you’re going to traverse the field

>>58045730
Crash out some more :)

>>58045730
Also OP getting mad anons remember him and know how much of a faggot he is.

>>58045754
I’m not mad at all I love knowing that I’ve become an eceleb and always have anons spreading my influence. I rule over you nimrods, don’t you get it haha. Now keep giving me (You)’s so the thread continues to be seen.

>>58045739
being set only in the city put off a lot of people and for good reason. GameFreak can’t make good games.

>>58045399 (OP)
So is it safe to say the legends games are the only ones that are gonna have this

>>58045621
It’s called a space time distortion retard

>>58045673
It's kind of funny.
The name in Japanese is literally "Shadow Clones" and for few seasons it was just Pokemon using quick movements to basically become invisible and avoid enemy attacks... and then Naruto happened, became super popular and animators decided that it would be cool to instead just reference that. After all abusing motion lines to show quick movement in a DBZ-style went out of fashion, anyway

>>58045867
I don't know if what you are saying is true because this is from an old episode before Naruto happened

>>58045771
based OP, shut those faggots up

Did XY & ORAS have all their megas officially revealed before launch? If the ZA leaks are real then a LOT of megas still need showcased in only a few months.

>>58045930
No, about half of both of their Megas were saved for the game.

>>58045867
Shadow clones is an ancient fucking pop culture trope in Japan and has nothing to do with Naruto specifically, you retard.

>>58045893
Exactly

>>58045930
ORAS did, and people got pretty fucking mad when the game released and they realized there wasn't anything new in it didn't already know about.

For XY we got around half of them pre-release.

>>58045930
XY revealed Mega Mewtwo X and Y, Kanto Starters, Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Mega Ampharos, Mega Mawile, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Absol, and Mega Garchomp

ORAS revealed all their Megas beforehand

>>58045689
>Can you disprove any of the posts in the thread right now
Yeah, easily
>>58045405
>In Legends Z-A, Double Team is an auto dodge just like in the anime
That's not how it works in the anime
>>58045673
>>58045893
Literally the first reply in the thread got something wrong.

>>58046009
Retard

>>58046009
Took you 3 hours

>>58045973
>>58045975
And in comparison we are 3 months from release and Z-A has only shown ONE new mega

How can you possibly defend this?

>>58046027
>show me the new megas or I'll riot!!!

>>58046027
The starters (the Legends ones) are guaranteed to have their Megas revealed and I think we'll see Starmie and Scrafty too, as we've already seen their prev-evos being used by MZ partners. Wouldn't be surprises if we'd see the Kalos starters megas too a week or so before release.

Not a big finding but Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie can be seen in the upper-left section of Team MZ flag. This is the first time they appear in any Z-A material so far (?). Golurk body marks, an upper view of Torkoal's shell, Floette and Sigilyph can be seen in the flag too, all are part of AZ's team in XY. Not sure if the part between the Kalos starters and Torkoal means anything.

>>58045485
The ad is /vp/.

>>58046027
Mega evolution as a concept wasn't revealed until pretty shortly before XY's release. The July 2013 Pokemon movie stealth introduced it by starring Mega Mewtwo Y, but it wasn't until after the movie's premiere that it was revealed that the new "awakened" form Mewtwo had in that movie was just one of many new "mega evolutions" that would debut in XY.

>>58046084
Pretty huge anon. Mind if I add to the list?

>>58046097
Feel free, information belongs to everyone

>>58046084
Btw, the middle piece is Golurk’s seal, so each piece of the fabric has to do with AZ

>>58045973
>ORAS did, and people got pretty fucking mad when the game released and they realized there wasn't anything new in it didn't already know about.
ORAS spoiling the Delta Episode before release was the absolute worst.
Do modern audiences need to see everything before the game comes out?

>>58045424
Thank God indoors are confirmed

>>58046027
I'd honestly rather have this than ORAS having all Megas revealed by the time the Demo came out (let alone the actual game).

In the right pillar we have Weezing but I can't identify which is the Pokémon in the left pillar.

>>58046128
Modern audiences don't play games, they just watch Youtube videos of them, so the faster they're "in the know" the better.

>>58046160
That's Kingambit, you can see its blades on top, there's a statue of it inside as well.

>>58046160

>>58046177
>>58046181
There's too many Kingambit statues in the trailer. I guess he's in. Gamefreak didn't allow any Galarmon to be capturable in Hisui so I'm surprised he's seemingly in this game.

>>58046128
>ORAS spoiling the Delta Episode before release was the absolute worst.
Yep, showing story related spoilers is retarded. They revealing the Ultra Beasts was the only mistake in Sun and Moon.
>Do modern audiences need to see everything before the game comes out?
Do grandparents need to be purposefully deceived by the gaming company?

>>58046188
It's true Legends Arceus didn't have any Galar natives or Galarian forms but it did have Sylveon so Kingambit wouldn't necessarily be unprecedented

>>58046188
Considering Kingambit is a modern mon and the Leader's Crest thing was kind of shoehorned in, there's really no restriction of why it couldn't be in Kalos now. It's wild in Kitakami as well. Traditional cross-gen evos just magically appear in the following games.

>>58045867
>for few seasons it was just Pokemon using quick movements to basically become invisible and avoid enemy attacks
that was quick attack. Double team looked like Naruto before Naruto

>>58045436
Hey so uh never mind? We might actually be back

Screenshots from GameStop, this is a special pre order bonus outfit set.

>>58045436
Hair salon seems be have an interior, from website

>>58046188
falinks and drampa are also in, and they weren't in the og kalos dex
i guess there'll be more mons from the later games too, maybe even regional forms or evolutions

>>58046227
it might just be an art for the background of the menu. It looks like a static render without npcs

>>58046223
>>58046227
I really don’t see a problem with how SV did it where you walk through the door and get brought to the shop. Do people really just want a empty room or NPCs with the same generic dialogue every time?

>>58046271
I think people are just fear mongering that it'll be like SV where basically there's nothing outside the overworld. It seems like the restaurants and some other buildings have interiors where you can battle so this game should have some indoors content.

>>58046128
You have to realize that ORAS released during Yokai Watch's peak. GF was in full doomer panic mode thinking Pokemon had been dethroned for real this time. They probably thought they had to reveal everything they had to help sales. This lead directly into SM which also blew its entire load on the marketing. Then Yokai Watch fucking died and things went back to normal, yay.

>>58046325
I never thought about it that way, I can see the logic behind your reasoning.

>>58046325
>>58046332
Retards, we have docs from the Teraleaks that show GameFreak didn’t give a fuck about Yokai Watch at all, and actually thought it was going to go away after 5 years. Look what happened.

Draw distance is out of this world

>>58046197
Sylveon was not introduced in the game directly preceding LA

>>58046223
okay, buying it, picking harmony this looks too good on her gonna wear it any time I'm doing an emma quest, I'm gonna be the watson to her sherlock

>>58046344
1. the teraleaks are fake as fuck (convenient that everything that got "leaked" was canceled)
2. SM, both the videogames and the anime, are fucking oozing with yokai watch influence, the rotomdex is basically Whisper, the game has a map on the bottom screen just like yokai watch, z-moves are the summon animations etc.

>>58046361
This is out of this world to you? Maybe it’s out of Pokémon’s world

I think this confirms held items? Why would a Ralts hold a Gardevoirite then?

>>58046387
Also confirms that megastones work like Z crystals used to work in SM

>>58046392
Could you have more than one Mega Stone in the 3DS games through trade? I remember how the Z-Crystals work at least.

>>58046387
maybe the only held items are mega stones?

>>58046411
Maybe but that brings to question why you have to hold them in first place. You just need them in the bag in LGPE

>>58046380
Well yeah that’s pretty far, not even Tears of the Kingdom covers that much ground

>>58046376
Retard

>>58046436
epic counter argument

>>58045739
I'm going to wait until the game is out before I can judge it, but I'll definitely play it unless there's some huge problem with it that's found out during the inevitable full game leak. If I end up getting it, it's definitely going to wait until I've beaten Time Stranger, been waiting on that game for 8 years now.

>>58045492
Made another quick potentially huge discovery, follow along with pic related

The MC doesn’t come to Lumiose with a Mega Ring. The MC has a Mega Ring by the time to choose a starter. The MC already have it by the time Urbain/Taunie show up. Which means that the MC possibly meets someone right after they reach the city that gives them a Mega Ring. Also, none of Team MZ have Mega Rings when they are first met, but at some point, they all receive the same Mega Rings as the MC.

So that begs the question, who the hell is giving out these Mega Rings ?

>>58046454
It seems like your character receives the Mega Ring very early but you can't Mega Evolve until somewhere in Level 30's.

>>58046489
I forgot to mention, look how the Mega bar only appears in the second shot. You don't seem to have access to Mega evolution in the first shot which seems to have been recorded before the second shot

>>58045678
Retard.

If you pick Harmony the group is 2 guys and 2 girls
if you pick Paxton it's 2 guys and 2 girls

I think they saw all the Arven porn if him with Juliana,Nemona and Penny and realized they didn't want a harem situation anymore

Another thing, Paxton and Harmony arrive in the city without the green jacket and hat, but have it by the time they get their starter and mega ring, so is the that get up given to them by their new crew?

Each member of this crew has things on them that hint at their mega evolution signature but the rival doesn't, think that's on purpose because they'll have the starter weak/strong against yours?

>>58045704
Or you could try reading his post and not outing yourself as someone who doesn't play video games.

>>58046271
People just want to complain. Even if everything they're bitching about ends up in the game, they won't remember being wrong or care.

>>58045461
>bottom
That's got to be some Diancie shenanigans.

>>58046235
They are in ZA because they got new megas, just like Goomy was because Sliggoo and Goodra got regional forms

Isn't the whole point of an open world the atmosphere and immersion? What's the point of an open world, especially one that is entirely in a CITY, if you can't enter every building?

>>58045428
I mean, there is a black out

>>58046976
>Isn't the whole point of an open world the atmosphere and immersion?
no it's to remove friction and obstacles in the way of letting the player go where he wants. removing building interiors is also a friction-removing measure.
