Pokemon Legends: Z-A Reveal Trailer

At the end of the reveal trailer, the iconic symbol for Mega Evolution popped up. This could likely tease that Mega Evolution will not only be present, but will have a major role in the game!
The February 2025 Pokemon Presents has also revealed some of the Mega Evolutions from previous games. Other than these, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is likely to feature some new Mega Evolutions for returning fan favorites and starters!

The trailer also featured the Prism Tower from Lumiose City, which was a location in the Kalos region in Pokemon X and Y.

A tweet from the Nintendo of America Twitter/X account has revealed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set within Lumiose City. No further details were mentioned, but it seems like the game will focus on developing the city itself.

Several Pokemon were revealed in the announcement trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Pokemon coming from Generation 1 to Generation 6 appeared in the trailer.

Although Zygarde doesn't appear in the Pokemon Legends: Z-A reveal trailer, it's likely that Zygarde will feature as the central character in the game due to the letter Z prominently featured in the logo.
Zygarde was not heavily involved in Pokemon X and Y's story, so this may be the Order Pokemon's time to take the center stage!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be developed by Game Freak, which handled previous mainline Pokemon games and, specifically, the previous Legends: game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
The team seems to have learned from developing the first Legends game, so we're excited to see how much they have improved since then.
