Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to revive the beloved Mega Evolution mechanic, originally seen on the 3DS. Enthusiastic leakers suggest that this time, a significant lineup of new Megas will join the game.
The allure of Mega Evolutions lies in their ability to transform even the most unassuming Pokemon into powerhouses. They gain enhanced stats, unique abilities, and sometimes even change types. Charizard, Absol, and Lucario are some returning favorites confirmed in Legends: Z-A’s first gameplay trailer.
Recently, leakers have hinted at the addition of 27 new Mega Evolutions in the upcoming RPG. The leaker formerly known as Pyoro (now @eb576dcfe on Twitter) has a history of accurate predictions about games, including Nintendo titles. They cryptically noted that “thousands” are aware of the number of new Megas, hinting with “Look at the key at the upper left corner of your keyboard.” This clue, pointing to the escape key, aligns with the ASCII code 27.
Despite this information being unofficial, the potential expansion to 75 Mega Evolutions could breathe new life into the game. Fans are buzzing with speculation, hoping that longstanding favorites like Flygon and Dragonite finally get their Mega forms.
Flygon, especially, has not received a Mega form, even during the Gen 3 remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, puzzling its dedicated supporters. Whether these hopes will come true remains to be seen, as Game Freak has not made any official announcements regarding new Mega Evolutions for the RPG yet.
Anticipation is building, with fans eagerly awaiting any shred of confirmation. Meanwhile, keen eyes have noted that Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s director seems to be a Xenoblade Chronicles fan, a detail that has caught the attention of many.
