Game Freak held a Pokmon Presents livestream today and we finally got a good look at Pokmon Legends: Z-A. The new trailer for the follow-up to the well-received Pokmon Legends: Arceus reveals the massive Lumiose City, which first appeared in Pokmon X and Y all the way back in 2013. Its a bustling metropolis filled with skyscrapers, and a far cry from the serene countryside of Arceus.The trailer spotlighted the three starter Pokmon players will be able to choose from. They include the gen 2 starters Chikorita and Totodile and the gen 5 starter Tepig. We also got a better look at the gameplay elements, and they seem like something of a hybrid between the real-time capture mechanics of Arceus and the old-school turn-based gameplay of traditional Pokmon titles.Pokmon Legends: Z-A will also bring back Mega Evolutions, which turn regular pocket monsters into superpowered monstrosities with temporary stat boosts. This mechanic, just like Z-As location, was first introduced in Pokmon X and Y.We have a bit longer to wait for this one. The game doesnt come out until the end of the year. Its also being released for the original Switch, despite the fact that the Switch 2 will most likely be on store shelves by that point. However, long-time readers may remember that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so itll run on both machines.Game Freak also showed off a new game called Pokmon Champions, which is a cross-platform battle sim. Todays Pokmon Presents livestream celebrated the 29th birthday of the franchise. Happy birthday, cute pets we force to live inside of tiny balls and fight to the death!This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/new-pokemon-legends-z-a-trailer-reveals-an-absolutely-massive-version-of-lumiose-city-180550052.html?src=rss
