YMMV / Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Go To

  • Epileptic Trees: Due to the initial teaser showing an "urban redevelopment plan" for Lumiose City and the city seemingly appearing more advanced compared to the original X and Y, many have started theorizing that Z-A could take place in the future rather than the past in contrast to Arceus. Some have even suggested that the game being set entirely in Lumiose City could be a case of Exact Words, with it possibly taking place at a time when it has grown to encompass the entire Kalos region.
  • Fan Nickname: Some fans have taken to calling this game "Pokémon Z", after the hypothetical third version of Pokémon X and Y.
  • Memetic Mutation: Shares a page with the rest of the franchise.
  • Tainted by the Preview: The announcement of the game has brought in two main points of contention among certain groups of fans. One group is disappointed that the long-awaited "Pokémon Z" is made in the Legends format instead of the originally expected format of a third version of the traditional format. Another group, while looking forward to the game, is concerned given one of the very first revealed aspects of the game is the fact it's set entirely within Lumiose City, rather than featuring the entirety of Kalos, fearing that it limits the game's scope too much.
