Can't believe they literally put me in the game.
I think I've seen that thread on Kiwifarms.

>lysandre has an X patch on his knee
>there's a Y patch on his elbow

Is this a reference to gen 6?

Ending sequence is just a string of mega fights with NPCs where the 3 megas team up against your pokemon and keep knocking it out followed by an unskippable credits sequence (minus Ed Sheeran)
a ruined version of Lysandre Labs.
Yeah that's what I said it was.
 
If there's one thing I'm happy about regarding Z-A is that Shinies don't despawn in the overworld (even if you leave the general area or turn off he game) unless you fail to catch it after you KO it or if they're a skittish/flying Pokémon that's prone to running away and that the game can apparently keep 10 of them in before bumping one off to make room for a new one..
Yeah that's what I said it was.
Whoops, that's what I get for not reading things thoroughly.

That said I kind of agree with you on it looking like it's been neglected for 20-30 years. I'd compare it to various dilapidated Nazi bases and munitions factories from WW2 (and some abandoned Cold War-era Soviet bases) in terms of damage, disrepair, and how quickly Team Flare left the building.
 
I didn't look up much about the game or DLC leading up to release, so I was surprised to see the 30 dollar hoopa ring DLC (they did hoopa rings for free in ORAS) doesn't even come out until February.
They really thought this would hold up for 4 months.

From what I've heard you have to save your game, otherwise they will disappear if you turn off the game (or more likely it crashes) before you catch it. I've seen people running up and down that tower in wild zone 3, since that reloads all the pokemon in the area. Not sure what other zones have such an easy way to do it but I'm sure you'll see 20 sloptube videos about it soon.
 
here's my first time seeing ZA in action:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=uQylP2tX9pYPokémon Legends ZA is an Overpriced Disappointment

- Lord Frogmire

Also did I hear that right at the start? $550 for the vidya and all DLCs?!

edit: That $550 also includes the cost of the Switch 2.
Just going to remind people who haven't seen his content that Frogmire literally just makes the most spicy points in his videos that will give him the best engagement possible. He probably doesn't even share those takes, or cares enough to have an opinion on his game, he is just blatantly chasing the algorithm to prove that he can. He's got an ego like that.

Also, he is the brother of Synthetic Man aka Coby Zachary Naughton, a chudsphere lolcow whose channel is currently going down the toilet and seemingly has some big drama happening every other week, from him going off at his fans at the slightest thing to bowing down to his degenerate lolicon audience and playing gacha waifu games with children to having DSP-like "business meetings" over his declining views to having a meltdown because a woman stopped talking to him on discord. Both channels are very much outrage sloptent, just posting that out there for those who aren't looking for this kind of thing and think they are serious reviewers.
Asmongold made a video about ZA. Now he may not be the most pokemon literate person ever, but yeah kinda telling that even "normies" can tell how bad ZA is
This dude called himself a "shiteater" when Avowed came out and admitted he knows nothing about video games since he spend his "gamer years" playing Blizzard slop. His takes are worth less than nothing.

Pokemon fanbse just EXPECTS DLCs for the games now, this is pretty sad. Thank god I noped out when SwSh was announced. 30 fucking dollars, this is some COD $30 skin bundle bullshit, same kind of audience both games I guess.

"or more likely it crashes"
So the game is, once again, only half finished and barely functioning, huh? Absolute state of this franchise.

It can't even run on the switch 2.
Retards who still buy this shit get everything they deserve. Absolutely no sympathy from me.

Anyways, looking back onto the beta of ZA, this game originally had online minigames






What is this shit bro, you're telling me that Gamefreak tried turning Pokemon into a third person shooter? A multiplayer one at that? They would rather be doing quite literally anything other than Pokemon at this point
Oh, and they cut rideable Gogoats

I mean, really? That's the closest thing to something unique Kalos has. What a joke!

The game seems to take place in Southeast Asia, has a marine/tropical theme and has every single Pokemon rideable. The goal is to make a game with infinite amount of content, in other words the Bethesda styled radiant quests and randomly generated islands like the "thousand planets" of Starfield. Considering this is Gamefreak we are talking about here, it's likely going to go just as well. Hell, if they can't even make a game set in one city without it crashing at launch, just imagine a game with randomly generated content on the go lmfao
Here is Project Seed, some sort of mmo(?) where the entirety of Japan in the Pokemon world is accessible, for example you can walk from Sinnoh to Hoenn and vice versa, as well as from Johto to Kanto
G3KDGHhXsAAGYgB_t.jpg
It should be noted that this concept has been toyed with as early as Gold and Silver Spaceworld beta(fully playable with SuperGold97 romhack)
Ringo is the next Legends game set in Galar

Are you having a good day? Well, I'm about to ruin it or make it worse, they canceled Legends Johto for Z-A
G3J1hA8XMAAwJpM_pouwau.jpg
If they want to re-vist it for an anniversary, soonest the game will drop will be 2029/2030, all for some half-baked Kalos pandering(lol).
It should be noted that 2030 is the projected date for gen 11, so that's doubtful.
Timeline of games
timeline.jpg
Ikkaku is Z-A, Synapse is a GaaS online experience similar to Champions, in fact there is a lot of talk in these documents of Pokemon going down that route. Guess the mobile games did too well, lol! Sudachi is Scarlet/Violet DLC in case you can't tell
Speaking of SV, here is the original concept art for the main characters
G3KUEIcXkAA9g09.jpg
They butchered the female character HARD, guess they got their DEI mandates before launch
Blindmf.png
The biggest loss is Area Zero however, apparently that was originally supposed to be Atlantis
SPOILER_Screenshot_20251013_142049_Firefox_t.jpg
Atlantis was originally planned for RSE, to the point where Metagross originally came from there alongside several legendaries in original Hoenn lore. This idea just can't catch a fucking break!
Nobody got screwed over harder than Team Star aka Team March(as in Marching Band), holy shit are these designs good

Has there ever been a worse downgrade in history of Pokemon?
also, I got a good chuckle out of this
1760380450486038.png
Gamefreak almost lost the original Pokemon Green/Red due to computer problems back in the day because these dipshits didn't backup anything, looks like they haven't learned a fucking thing in 30 years
Actually, never mind, they did learn how AI technology works

This franchise is beyond doomed, we are about to see AI slop the likes we have never seen before

Y’know, if GameFreak put half as much effort into making their games as they do getting Nintendo to sue anyone who makes anything remotely close to Pokemon, I’d be willing to let some things slide if Z-A was the first Legends game.

But it’s not, and from what I’ve seen there’s actual debate Legends Arceus was the better game. I hate how the franchise that has my childhood nostalgia in a death grip is run by people who’ve been coasting for over a decade…
 
I'm having trouble with the Teraleak 2 files from that 4chan link. I downloaded them, but when I try to open or extract the source code zip I get a catastrophic failure error, does anyone know how to solve this?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm retarded. I was trying to open a 7z file without having 7zip installed.

When I see stuff like this I feel like they wanted ZA to be set further in the future, this is supposed to be just 5 years of neglect for Lysandre's lab.

Looks more like 20-30 years, but then you couldn't have Mable or the other people tied to Team Flare.
That would explain why Lysandre looks like he aged 20 years, or why you can count the returning characters on one hand despite 5 years not being that long.

I was taking this guy's takes with a grain of salt, since he seemed over the top, then I watched the Silksong review and thought "Yeah, this guy either knows what to do and likes to fuck eith people or he's just full of shit"

Asmongold embodies every trait of a roach that you can't find in piratesoftware.

This cuck own both scarlet and violet, he deserves no simpathy from me and seeing people like him go McNutt on the floor is a net positive for the world.

Let me put this straight: 2 games ago, these motherfuckers had tobias fuchs work at their game and make a track. When deltarune's chapter 3+4 came out, Steam broke. As of now, only 4 chapters out of 7 were released, deltarune is a fourth of pokemon ZA's full price, not including nintendo switch online subscription and its still a more complete game with longer playtime than ZA will ever be post DLC release.

Dayum. You gotta do a lot of drugs to look like that in five years.
 
I have no intention of getting the game besides probably the high seas, but did they at least give the option to customize your character so you can have the blonde/pink hairstyle instead of the rival having it? That sounds like a no brainer.
Sorta, you have to unlock them by getting all the flabebe colors and then fighting them all at once later.
1760714042180.png 1760714106682.png
These are color blocking with platinum and peach, switching main and blocked.
1760714050815.png 1760714117979.png
This is balayage with the same.

Different hairs have different ways it shows up but I don't want to do them all, for example:
1760714229900.png 1760714241115.png
Black and white blocking and balayage on a different hair style.
 
For anyone wondering, the torrent with all the Teraleak stuff from last year is still up for those who haven't downloaded that. I'm not going to give you a link, but you can easily find it on /vp/ archives when you search for the latest /ppg/ threads(latest from last year, anyways). Some of the videos on cut/beta content seem to be privated, however. Wish I could say this is an outlier, but it isn't, these fucking niggers do it all the time. This is why there will never be a good central preservation website or effort, if it's not lead by psychotic tranny retards like TCRF is then you have egotistical tranny retards on discord or other platforms who want to hoard what should be public knowledge. The bright side is that if you have the Teraleak files, you can access that content, you know assuming you have a computer with terrabytes of memory and know exactly how to access the data on all these builds, but the possibility is there.

If this is the "best customization" Pokemon ever had...lol, lmao even. Customization niggers are the worst, if you have one good central design for a character then that shouldn't matter. Serena and Calem from XY are usually, 95% of the time drawn with their default outfits for a reason, same with protagonists of Sun/Moon and Sword/Shield.
 
People seem really split on mega starmie, but I think the design has a lot of personality. People are memeing the hell out of it
