Out of all Pokémon games, it’s undoubtedly generation six that I’ve spent the most time with. While not my favourite duology, Pokémon X and Y captured the mythology and world of Pokémon in a way that I hadn’t felt since I’d fallen under the spell of Pokémon Pearl.
I can remember regularly scouring forums for information, speculation, and rumours pertaining to Pokémon Z, the logical follow-up to X and Y that never came to fruition. More than 10 years after X and Y’s original release, Game Freak has headed back to the Kalos Region in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Narratively, this game is a sequel to generation six in all but name, with certain characters, locations, and groups making their return in tandem with Mega Evolution’s long-awaited reprisal.
