Game Freak provided a deeper dive into their highly anticipated game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The trailer showcased Lumiose City, inspired by Paris, with its classic European architecture, bustling streets, and the iconic Eiffel Tower. The city's integration of nature, with trees and grass blending into urban areas, and moss-covered buildings, created a visually stunning environment. The ability for trainers to climb rooftops and jump between buildings added a new dimension to exploration.

The city's reconstruction, spearheaded by the Quasartico Corporation, aims to foster coexistence between humans and Pokémon. However, the company's CEO and secretary hinted at a potentially darker narrative. A major gameplay innovation was revealed, allowing trainers to move around the battlefield and dodge attacks in real time, enhancing the combat experience with dynamic visuals.

Speculation about starter Pokémon ended with the confirmation of Tepig, Chikorita, and Totodile. The emphasis on Mega Evolutions suggests they will be central to the gameplay, with breathtaking transformation scenes showcasing their power. AZ, the ancient king of Kalos, also makes a significant appearance, running a hotel in Lumiose City and playing a key role in the game's story. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is slated for release at the end of 2025.
