Today was Pokemon Present 2024 premiered. I was expecting a Black & White remake when they announced several gaming content and few titles like that Pokemon Go X Pokemon Horizons thing. However, what I was not expecting was something I have been waiting since 2015.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon announced Pokemon Legends: Z-A aka Pokemon Z!
For those unaware, Pokemon Z was a hypothetical title for a game that would go with X&Y, but instead of that in 2016, we when straight into Gen 7. After that coincidentally, Pokemon went down a steep road when we entered Gen 8. The games were mixed (Sword & Shield) or downright disgraceful (Gen 4 Remakes). The last game for that generation was Pokemon Legends Arceus, a game that many found good. It was a step up of the previous Gen 8 titles, until Scarlet and Violet sort of repeated some of the mistakes Gen 8 made. After the DLCs and 2023, Pokemon presents 2024 was announced, fans believe they were already heading into Gen 10 when this was revealed. Let’s hope that this would be better than Gen 8/9 and Legends Arceus, maybe the franchise could salvage themselves just like how Sonic did 😄
