During the latest Pokemon Presents held on February 2024 to celebrate Pokemon Day, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company revealed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be the next mainline title in the Pokemon Legends series.
The game will be set in the Kalos Region, which first debuted in the Gen 6 titles Pokemon X and Y. The reveal trailer focused on the urban redevelopment plans for Lumiose city and showed how the city looks like in the present day. While the previous Legends game focused on a past version of the Sinnoh Region called the Hisui Region, we still don’t know in what era of the Pokemon history will be set in. In addition, the return of the Mega Evolution mechanic in the new Legends game was teased at this end of the trailer.
