While a potentially major mechanic may have been revealed during Pokemon Legends: Z-A's latest trailer, it might not be entirely new as it may have already featured first in Gen 9's Pokemon Scarlet and Violet before the upcoming game. Though it was far from the focus of Game Freak's long-overdue update for Legends: Z-A, the game's recent trailer may have teased a new approach to traversal mechanics with the return of the Rotom phone. Besides the possibility of foregoing Ride Pokemon as seen in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Legends: Z-A could be adopting mechanics previously seen in Scarlet and Violet and even Sword and Shield.
