So in all seriousness, what do we actually think is going to be in this DLC other than the new megas that leaked? Will it also be entirely within Lumiose? Will new areas open up within Lumiose lile maybe the bank?
>>58499470I wouldn't expect us to leave Lumiose. I think they'll probably open up more areas within Lumiose. Other than that I genuinely have 0 idea. They've been very vague on details
>>58499470You'll get 100 more Pokemon (Still a lackluster 350 pokemon in the game) and a couple of new Megas and that's it
>>58499686How would they stuff all 100 in the existing wild areas though
>>58499699They'll add 5 more mons into each existing 20 Wild Areas
We'll go through Hoopa rings into alternate dimensions. If it's an alternate Lumiose it can just have different Wild Zones with different Pokémon, or if it's areas outside of Lumiose then they can just have the new Pokémon roam around.
>>58499706They're already stuffed as is tho
>>58499724Based asf im afraid
>>58499470Please God let us explore Kalos.
I think it would be cool if the mega dimension switched wild areas and regular city areas.It's supposed to be an alternate world--I would hope it does something to make it feel more alternate besides just new megas.
>>58499470Mega dinension makes me think parrallel world stuff. X and y means xerneas and yvaltel Your going to go to a destroyed lumiose in an alternate dimension where flare managed to fire the weapon powered by xerneas or yvaltal. Alpha counterparts of the legendary are going to be available.
>>58500505This is also why xerneas and yvaltal were so anemic in the base game. They are going to be essential for accessing their corresponding dimension. Xerneas timeline the entirety of lumoise is an overgrown jungle. Yvaltal timeline is a fallout esque blasted wasteland
>>58500482Route 15 would go unbelievably hard in full 3D>>58500485An alternate Lumiose where the entire city has been taken over by Pokemon would be cool
>>58500538That would be cool but it seems like a lot of work just for 1 $30 DLC pack
>>58500568It sort of is and sort of isnt Think of it this way, they get to reuse the map twice.
>>58500568Both the DLCs for SwSh and SV had two pretty large new areas, and anon's idea for ZA would let them reuse the base map twice.
>>58500578They said they were gonna spend less on DLC after SV though in the teraleak. Because they overspent compared to the 25% who bought it
>>58500632Yeah but money and development is funny. Its impossible to gauge where the costs are in development. In my head, the most resource intensive parts of legends are probably the set piece pokemon. The pidgeys and fletchinders that act like little birds and perch on things. Just having a static map with a bunch of pokemon running around is probably quite cheap from a development side.
>>58500632Thats not considering the context as to WHY the DLC went overbudget in SV tho. They went over budget because that extra spending was due to needing to spend on bug fixing the dogshit SV engine because it wasn't built from the ground up to accommodate added DLC content, not because they went overambitious with what they wanted that DLC to be. The SwSh DLC didn't go over-budget yet similarly included rather large zones to exist within.
>>58499470>So in all seriousness, what do we actually think is going to be in this DLC other than the new megas that leaked?The 82 side missions that were also leaked.And I wouldn't expect anything else.Hopefully some of them will feature returning characters from XY or even other Pokémon games.
>>58499470Alternative version of Carne.GF doesn't have much imagination, I think they'll recycle the LA villain.
Do you think Hyperspace Lumiose will just be a palette or texture swap of the base game map, perhaps to a futuristic theme matching with the Holo X and Holo Y clothes
>>58499470>Mega DimensionProbably an alternate universe Lumiose with new megas
>>58500698>implying they bug fixed SV's engineThe DLC ran even worse, I got several freezes of multiple seconds in the Terarium.
>>5850070782 sidequests is a hefty amount, right? We've never seen a Legends DLC so will be interesting to see the scope they opt for
>>58500707Base game has 119 so 82 is a ton.
>>58500711Volo returning would be MEGA based though
>>58500734I didn't mean him but something similar with a Carne/Diantha from the other dimension
>>58500707I’m really hoping that one of these sidequests let’s us see Tinkaton in action fucking up Corviknights
>>58500734I want Volo to return so bad
>>58500723This isn't implying anything. That's literally the reason cited in the teraleak documents given as for why it went over budget. It should speak for just how dogshit that engine was that even after going over-budget to bug fix that it was still buggy anyway.
>>58499470I hope they add mass outbreaks of some kind, certain Pokémon are such a pain in the ass to get in base ZA>Beldum only spawns in 1 area of Lysandre Labs>Drampa only spawns in the gazebo in wild zone 19 only at the beginning of the morning>Froakie only spawns on top of the pillar in wild zone 16>Fennekin only spawns on 1 rooftop of wild zone 18
>>58500799>>Drampa only spawns in the gazebo in wild zone 19 only at the beginning of the morning In the post-game you can easily find it
Probably just Hoopa rings with an Ultra Space.tm "world" to explore to obtain returning PokemonEven the Super Ancient Pokemon will probably not have much effort put into themSimply expect "Rogue" boss fights for them, the Eon Duo, the new Megas of Darkrai/Heatran/Zeraora and whatever else and that would be it
>>58500870Nah it'll be more than thst. Blueberry Academy sized DLC at least, with some story
>>58500870We already know that the rogue mega fights for the DLC are Staraptor, Meowstic and Tatsugiri
>>58500974very well thenyou can say I am a bit more intrigued about what they are going to do with the Super Ancient Pokemon>>58500900Blueberry Academy was terribly short(and bad) thougheverTeal Mask mogged it to oblivion
>>58499470Obvious>new megas>more pokemon>megas missing from base game>new side quests>some new areaExpected>more clothing>more photo mode options>rotom phone cases>"harder" rematches>returning XY characters>the new area is a reskinned lumiosePipe Dream>southern kalos>battle maison multi-battles>customizable poke balls>the returning XY characters we want to see>volo>alain
>>58499470Probably s9mething Heonn related, we're getting the starters, Latis and Weather Trio after all.
>>58500974Mega Staraptor better be good, I'm cautiously optimistic
>>58499470Alternate Lumiose that is fucked up and evil
>>58501241I wouldn't say a new area is neccesarily guaranteed. It is very likely tho.I would love more returning XY chars or Volo to return but I can't see it past maybe 1 or 2 special characters. Maybe Diantha or Sycamore since they're mentioned so often in the game.
>>58501281Korrina seems a given due to AZ's letter telling the player to thank Lucario's original trainer if they ever run into her.
>>58500725>>58500732>>58500749Be for real 90% of the quests are total dogshit. Sometimes they’re slightly amusing like the guy who has binacles blocking his boat. Otherwise it is the lowest effort shit imaginable
>>58501296Hell, Korrina's probably where you'll get Lucarionite Z from, it feels pretty deliberate they want Korrina's Lucario, the first Pokemon players ever saw perform Mega Evolution in XY, come back around to Mega Evolve into a new form in LZA.
>>58501304I was forged in the fires of twenty bear asses sidequests so the simple ones with the occasional funny dialogue from ZA are fine by me.
>>58500711I'm expecting alternate versions of Z-A charactersLike Corbeau but he's an ice specialist or something
>>58501317I just wish they had side quests that were more than 5 minute or less diversions. “I’m a normal type trainer! Normal types are the best, and I’ll prove it! Battle me!” that’s the whole quest. “This trubbish is annoying, slowly walk them to a different trash can! There are no obstacles or anything, just slowly walk in a straight line!” “Can you trade me x pokemon?”How about a multi-quest series that strings together like 4-5 side quests to tell an actual story? How about introduce some interesting characters? Maybe tie a unique dungeon to a quest? No? Okay then.
>>58501376No time for that, they were already going full steam ahead on developing Gen 10, Gen 10 DLC and Legends: Galar so they could then move on to start developing Legends: Galar DLC, Gen 11, Gen 11 DLC and Legends: Who Fucking Cares.
>>58501409>anon forgot the multi-region game
>>58499470I hope they remodel this boring ass city
>>58501419>he thinks GameFreak will be able to actually fulfill that level of ambition with their roadmap and deadlinesIt'll be a Kanto MMO at best, therefore giving them the grounds to finally nuke PokeMMO off the map.
>>58501419
>>58500732Am I just missing the good one or something? Most the side missions are just>USE AN CERTAIN ATTACK ON THISor>GO OVER THERE AND FETCH ME A THING (can require you to fight a Pokemon or not)This shit's barely content in the first place.
>>58501296Good shout anon! Korrina would be awesome to see.
>>58501304It's more stuff to do in a game I love so I like it. But yeah most sidequests are usually just for fun or optional
>>58499724>Alternate timeline Lumiose where the ultimate weapon (either one I guess) went off>Mega energy is rampant >So are Ultra Beasts
>>58501376I think they overcorrected from Legends Arceus. A lot of the sidequests in that game were kinda annoying to complete
>>58501376Yeah a Yancy like larger style sidequest, even just one, would've been cool. Then maybe you get a special outfit referencing the sidequest as a reward.
>>58501409Still so sad they skipped over Legends Johto. I get why but it will never not hurt. >>58501419I'm skeptical on that ever coming out, or at least in the form they proposed it in. I could seem them narrowing it down to just Kanto and Johto and Kitakami for example. Remaking 5 regions just seems insane to me, even if they do it piecemeal over the years and even if its top down like LGPE
It's not going to stay in Lumiose. It honestly sounds like it's going to be similar scale to the SwSh and SV DLCs where we go to a new area with a bunch of new areas and mons to find. Whether its another place in Kalos or some weird ass location Hoopa brings us to, who knows. Southern Kalos would be funny
>>58501586You both are and aren't leaving Lumiose, the portals in Mega Dimension take you to "Hyperspace Lumiose".https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-dimension-trailer
>>58501623I actually didn't know about this, damn. I guess its just freaky Lumiose.
>>58499470I expect procedurally generated mega-dungeons will be a thing. Just a few varying sets, but still low budget effort.
>>58501623oh.....that sounds pretty meh
I know they aren't doing it but my ideal location would be Shalour City, maybe even extending down to include Geosenge Town and Route 10I'm sure people would appreciate the power plant as well
>>58501695As was pointed out earlier in the thread, it's to be expected that the premise would be simple, because as the Teraleak showed us, they have it in their heads that every game NEEDS DLC now, not just the new generation titles, so that effectively adds an additional project for one of their teams to work on for each game.
>>58499470The single screenshot of the DLC we have is Team MZ about to enter a Hoopa portal attached to the side of a building.
How is it that so many people even in this thread don’t know that Hyperspace Lumiose is the DLC’s setting despite the website and eshop descriptions explicitly saying so
>>58501927Because they didn't bother reading the descriptions, they only went off the Mega Raichu trailer.
Japanese website:>A mysterious distortion in space suddenly appears in Miare City. It appears to be connected to the other dimension of Miare.The story of the protagonist and the Team MZ continues.>The key to this story lies in the mythical Pokémon, Hoopa. This mythical Pokémon has the ability to warp space using the rings on its horns and body. The rings are flexible, and the insides create holes that lead to different locations. Anything that enters one of these holes can be transported instantly. Hoopa's favorite food is one with holes in it, and he's especially fond of donuts. How will he play a role in Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimensional Rush?It was specified that you need to clear the main story before starting DLC content unlike SwSh and SV where Isle of Armor and Teal Mask could be started without beating the game. Defeating Urbain/Taunie in the Infinite Z-A Royale and capturing Zygarde are probably going to be requirements to start the DLC since they're part of the main quest in Z-A. Hyperspace Lumiose is called 異次元ミアレ in japanese, important to mention that it doesn't specify that it's a city. SV english localization dropped the -city from the names but japanese kept it. So it should be still located in the geographical space of Lumiose City but might not be necessarily be a city. We got to know that Ange was created before city so I'm expecting that to be an important detail in the DLC. So I'm expecting it to be in the middle of the map again. There's motherfucking 9 mythicals total in the DLC including a boss fight against Mega Darkrai and Mega Zeraora so they should be important to the DLC. Lida and Naveen have incomplete teams during the main game so they might complete teams during DLC.
>Distortions in space have appeared without warning in Lumiose City. They seem to connect to a mysterious space—Hyperspace Lumiose. It looks like your story with Team MZ isn’t over yet!Question is whether Hyperspace Lumiose is some sort of alternate version of the map, or something else. My hope is that it's basically just an alternate Lumiose with all the humans gone, no "wild zones", so it's literally just Pokemon everywhere.
>>58502059I’m still confused over what the exact story requirements for the DLC will be and what they mean by completing the story; is it just roll credits? Unlock the Infinite ZA Royale? Or do literally everything and get Floette and Zygarde? If you have to get both Floette and Zygarde before you can do the DLC those are quite significant barriers that most people might not have done; especially the 15 infinite royale clears
>>58502094Urbain/Taunie are confirmed taking a role in the DLC. Clearing the Royale and watching the event with Jett seems like a pretty important plot point so I'm expecting that battle to be required. I agree that climbing 15 ranks in the postgame seems like a significant barrier though, I wonder what they're going to do with that. I think capturing Zygarde might be optional since he doesn't seem to be the focus of the DLC but if they require you to climb 15 ranks in the postgame, it seems reasonable to ask the player to defeat L and capture Zygarde too.
>>58502127I hope the requirement is just unlocking the Infinite ZA Royale; and then have only minor dialogue differences from Taunie depending on whether or not you’ve gotten Floette
>>58499470If it's anything like the main game I expect nothing interesting at all
>>5850063225% is a good number, most games get way less
>>58502192This kek
>>58502192Not sold on any DLC, game is "complete" (highly disappointing) as is. And there's no story to expand on or finish. It's 30 dollars for Hoopa if you missed it, basically.
>>58501927>>58501944>Because they didn't bother reading the descriptions, they only went off the Mega Raichu trailer.That.I only just learned about Hyperspace Lumiose from this very thread.It doesn't really change anything at all because I was going to learn about it sooner or later anyway.
>>58502086>My hope is that it's basically just an alternate Lumiose with all the humans gone, no "wild zones", so it's literally just Pokemon everywhere.That's what I expect too, yeah.Ultra Space Hau'oli except now it's Lumiose City.
Anons I will tell you what the DLC will be like>Hoopa puts wormholes around the city >You travel around Lumiose to the wormholes>Once you enter it takes you to a rooftop in Hyperspace >You cannot leave the rooftop>The rooftop is a straight line>Directly in front of you is the legendary>Once you beat or capture the legendary you get sent back >Do this again 5 times
>>58502424I've enjoyed their DLCs thus far so I don't see why this one would be that bad.
>>58502059Good effort post anon. So its an alternate Lumiose, pretty cool. I also like that it seems to be continuing the story.
It's space time dimensions, and it's not postgame, it was in the base game and then it got stripped of it.There you go, you bought it anyway.
>>58499470A story about Clemont turning evil and wanting to nuke Lumiose
>>58499470Dream:>Mega Evolution Royale, massive invitational tournament arc hosted by some bombastic noveau riche CEO who ends up being the game’s main villain >More side missions and areas>Rhyhorn racing >Alain, Marin and Malvashow upActuality: >Lumiose City with a texture swap and some more Pokemon
whatever it is, I know it won't be worth the $30 they are charging for it
>>58499470Probably just a small island to go to on a train ride with hard bullshit conditions to activate Hoopa rings for legendary pokemon and stupid hard challenges to get the new mega stones like that damn Lucario and Garchomp stones on ORAS.
>>58502059>you need to do the 15 postgame rounds of Infinite Royale before you're allowed to touch the DLCThat will be very silly if that's the case.
>>58503543Odds are it won't be necessary, regardless of context (whether or not the rival is now CEO) the incident already justifies Team MZ coming back together to investigate the situation, at most you'll get an alternate string of dialogue mentioning how Vinnie and the others are covering for the rival's absence because the incident requires a strong, capable battler like themselves to be hands-on.
>>58499470I can see Geeta making a cameo and showing Mega Glimmora.
rape is back on the menu
>>58499470It'd have to be highly specific but I could see changable mega stone items similar to how they let you change pokeball throwing animations in the scarlet/violet dlc. Like you'd only be able to wear 1 type at a time, but if you equip a mega hat for example you then use gwynn's animations when activating the mega stone.Let's see... emma would require a body suit so unless you get a copy of her suit that's out, tarragon is too small to use his animations without work, some tops for canari, gloves for ivor or vinnie, a pin for philippe/corbeau, hairpin for jacinthe, rings for griselle/grisham.Around 8-10 options depending on work they'd need to do. Maybe more for characters in the dlc.
>>58499470will take place in an alternate Lumiose, similar in design to Ultra Megalopolis in USUM, with some new mega related legendary causing the resident mega pokemon there to run rampant. Hoopa or a trainer who owns/is friends with it will come through the portal looking for a trainer to help stop it.
>>58499699use the sewers/underground tunnels.ez pz.
>>58499470I still have a belief that Volo is the thanos of the legends games. A villain that will span multiple games and the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. We know that someone (if not Volo himself) recently arrived in Lumiose to donate the Hisuian outfit to the museum. I have a theory that the person Urbain (or Taunie if you’re boring) is looking for in Lumiose is actually related to Volo and the mega dimension. Urbain’s mom is deceased so he wouldn’t be looking for her and I don’t believe that character was initially searching for Jett either. I think Urbain was searching for his father and my theory is his father is Volo. Maybe his mother left to do her own research to help Volo with something he needed to work on. Maybe to harness enough infinity energy? The theory kinda ends here. I just find it odd that Urbain arrives to the city to find someone the same time Volo seemingly arrived to the city. I’d also like to question the mayor of Lumiose as well. He’s a character that is mentioned twice by Mable and Jett and yet never seen. It is the mayor after all who set in motion the redevelopment plan that ended up creating rogue mega evolution and awakening another ultimate weapon. I’m not saying the mayor is Volo but it could be possible Volo has major influence on the mayor.
>Go to an exciting new dimension in our DLC!>it's just part of Lumiose with a color filter and different mons in the wild zonesCalling it now.
>>58504610That's literally the most likely outcome, you people don't research the known information at all.The page for the Mega Dimension trailer literally describes the Hoopa portals connecting to a location known as "Hyperspace Lumiose".
>>58504617>portals>pluralOh God, each one is going to just be a single wild zone. Not even a second city, just ultra wormhole style rooms.
>>58502059>Defeating Urbain/Taunie in the Infinite Z-A Royale and capturing Zygarde are probably going to be requirements to start the DLCI doubt it, it will probably just require beating ange
>>58499470The DLC should have been one of the more rural areas in Kalos to make things different from the city.
>>58501241I just want some challenging and repeatable postgame activities that can earn you good rewards, and perhaps some extra areas to explore for some variety.Obviously it won’t happen, but a battle frontier would go hard with ZA’s battle system
>>58499724will we finally find out what the fuck was going on here
>>58504413No idea why people keep repeating this when the next block of text says that same person was looking at Laventon's Pokedex drawings fondly/nostalgically/something like that. Lucas/Dawn get that outfit in PLA, they returned to their time and gave it to the museum.Also, having everything be connected to a mastermind would be the gayest thing they could do. Something I love about Pokemon is how vast the world feels with so many different regions, stories, types of power ups, etc. and connecting everything would make it all feel so small. Just let Volo die, the only reason why the twist has any impact is because he looks like Cynthia and not because there's anything remarkable about him otherwise.
>>58505631It’s an enormous mega crystal
>>58505682I mean the fact it's implied to be a giant portal to the ocean because it's on the coast despite being inland
Is the DLC likely to release sometime in January? That would give holiday buyers time to complete the main story, space the release away from the crowded holiday period and Age of Imprisonment/Air Riders/MP4 and give it some time to breathe before the gen 10 reveal
>>58505700No, the Nintendo shop says the "additional story content" portion of the Mega Dimension DLC will release on February 28, 2026.Expect a final trailer and feature during the Pokemon Presents, and then they'll never talk about LZA again because all priorities will be on the Gen 10 hype cycle, ESPECIALLY because it's Pokemon's 30th anniversary.
>>58505715*BY* Feb 28 2026, not on, there is zero chance the DLC releases the same time as the gen 10 reveal and gets completely overshadowed
>>58505715The fact they haven't confirmed the release date anywhere means the one on the eShop is a placeholder.
>>58505718Where does it say "by" on the page, anon?All I say is a clear cut, no mistake, full distinction of "Releases February 28, 2026".https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/additional-story-content-70050000062491-switch/
>>58499699There are a few areas that are obvious future wildzones.
>>58505724The additional story content clearly says “by” Feb 28 on every eshop page
>>58505750Then why be inconsistent? Why have other labels ONLY say "Feb 28" instead of "by Feb 28" in total?Why even GIVE the "Feb 28" estimate as an absolute latest if the plan is to avoid releasing the DLC before everyone completely stops caring about LZA in favor of Gen 10 hype?
>>58505757The eshop pages for Teal Mask and Indigo Disk said 31 December 2023 and 30 April 2024 as “estimated release dates” pre-release, the same will likely happen with Mega Dimension where the actual release date is earlier than the “estimated by” dates on the eshop
>>58499724>alternate Lumiose cities>each dimension is ruled by canari, ivor, corbeau or jacinthe going full hitler
>>58505718Interesting
>>58499470Considering it's called hyperspace and the dlc outfits look like this I assume it's gonna be a tron version of lumiose, which will be incredibly funny if true. I'm sure everyone who plays video games has at some point played one with a dark world/light world swap mechanic. That way they can re-use the entire map but with glowing lights and maybe some other sci-fi twists like flying cars sprinkled about.I also like to imagine nintendo looking at the new tron movie being a flop and sweating a little over the idea it might effect their marketing.
>>58506659>and maybe some other sci-fi twists like flying cars sprinkled about.>main villain is alternate dimension Zach who controls air traffic with an iron fist and has the strongest Pokémon team in any game
>>58502424All DLC we got were BETTER than the base games.
>>58504413Lets hope for Volo vs N battle(Antichrist vs Jesus)
>>58506659>One world is the past>One world is the futureIts how it will be.Expect new Paradox pokemon.
mark my words, it will be lumiose city but tinted purple or some shit
>>58506730>entirety of the city is a Jacinthe ZoneAs it should be.
I’ve said this before but I really hope there’s a story beat or sidequest where we actually get to see how Tinkaton fucks up random Corviknights
we better get a mega raichu z that looks exactly like gorochu
>>58505776>alt Canari would run either of the Raichus>alt Ivor would run Crabominable>alt Corbeau would run Glimmora>alt Jacinthe would run MagearnaI'm not saying I agree, I just think it is kinda suspicious that they all get at least one mega from their typing in the DLC
>>58506967>chomp Z for taragon>golurk for gwynn>lucario Z for philipe>baxcalibur or tatsugiri for lebanne
>>58499470Since it's an alternate universe I do hope/wonder if the genderswap friend will be part of the story. They're both gonna be in masters at some point, so might as well establish some sort of rapport.I'd mention the other pro-tag too, but I feel like that the pro-tag not being in the other universe will be part of the reason shit is going down there.
>>58499470I'm mildly hopefully for an Alola DLC since the game keeps referencing it.
>>58499470I honestly think it'd be Ultrabeast Dimension shit. Like the inverse of PLA where instead of the time bubbles bringing Mons from the future, we'd be in a hellzone of Ultrabeasts with random appearing pockets of sanity to get items and new Pokemon.>>58501684If Procgen areas, it'd be a techdemo for the leaked info on Pokemon Winds and Waves (which according to leaked info is procgen survival PokeIndonesia).
>>58505632Agreed. People are literally reading too much into this shit forgetting that its fucking game freak. All they did with ingo was add some stupid text saying hes now back in present time lmao. They probably only added him to PLA for fanservice only. And people are also think way too hard about the dlc. Its all going to be some low stakes story using the new characters from ZA and maybe a few OCs. Not a single XY character or old character will return
>want to make my perfect balanced team>only like 4 fire typesFucking fine I'll just use an all steel team for fucks sake
I hope people realise that it will just be regular map with different coloursDon't get your hopes upAll we will be doing is finding the bitches mother
>>58507604I'll eat my hat if Korrina doesn't return, they teased her too hard and we know Lucario is getting another mega.
>>58507733She's actually the only one that has a decent change of returning so that would be near i personally would enjoy seeing her as well. For me, its mainly that GF doesn't want to have older characters appear becayse they dont really want to explain what theyve been doing or what has happened to the others in the past 5 years but I think Korrina is a pretty safe old character to use since she can just talk about lucario training and finding another mega evo
>>58499470There are no new areas, supposedly dlc is just GameFreak charging you 30 USD for a copy and paste of Lumiose. They didn't even bother making a new map or any new areas this timeafter leaks told us that Wind and Waves will have procedural generated islands, expect that game's dlc to have procedural generated maps for paid dlc as well
>>58507812Jesus Christ.....
>>58507720There's 10 lined that are part fire type.
>>58507812I'm not sure what he meant by washed-out reskin in the middle of darkness tho. Is it a Lumiose where the main character failed to save it I guess?
>>58508842Maybe it's like literal floating islands containing chunks that used to be a part of Lumiose, islands that drift aimlessly in some sort of void.
>>58507812>>58508842Paris is the City of Lights so yeah, would make sense.
>>58508852That would be awesome as long as they use it as a chance to really shift up the map and make it feel different. Like a Lumiose Distortion World
Have other people realised that the DLC is facing a mountain of marketing challenges? >Public perception already soured because it was announced before base game released>Age of Imprisonment, Air Riders and MP4 make the rest of 2025 and the holiday season so crowded it can’t fit without overshadowing something, especially MP4>Gen 10 reveal imminent so releasing it too close to pokemon day means it could easily be forgotten once gen 10 is announced>Only one major expansion compared to SS and SV’s two>Meaning no second chance if the expansion gets mixed reception >Same price as Isle of Armor + Crown Tundra, so it must prove to be of equivalent value content-wise The advertising and the new mega Lucario have to hard carry to make the DLC land well
>>58508984Late December or January would be fine for a release date.
>>58508990They also need to take into account all the people, especially families and kids, getting the game for christmas and the holiday season, the DLC needs the main story finished so they need to space it out enough so that the people getting ZA for christmas have the time to finish the main story and aren’t left out, that’s why i don’t think late Dec near christmas, or 2025 at all, is possible rn
>>58509013Mid-late January or early February is realistically the best window they have if the intention's to make sure most have completed LZA by the time it's out, any earlier overlaps with the other releases and any later makes people not care because they'll already be aware of the Pokemon Presents that announces Gen 10.
>>58507812That'll be $30 plus tip
>>58509025Yeah, I’ve been thinking and it feels like mid to late Jan is the best time for the DLC to drop since it won’t be competing with anything then and there’ll still be enough time for people to talk about it before gen 10, but there’s still some risk there because January is usually a dead month for game releases, and remember how easily SV’s reveal eclipsed Arceus less than a month later? That will probably still happen to the ZA DLC once gen 10 is announced, unfortunately
>>58507561It's Wind and Wave, normalfag shit.
>>58508984>the DLC is facing a mountain of marketing challenges?You know all those times in which many people in this board including myself told you "They're gonna buy it anyway"?We weren't joking.The DLC will face no marketing challenge whatsoever because they'll buy it anyway.
>>58507732She is dead.Play the game, stupid chud.
>>58509092True, I bought it day one even though I didn't care about the outfits and didn't know if I'd like the base game (which I did).
>>58504413>and I don’t believe that character was initially searching for Jett either. I think Urbain was searching for his father and my theory is his father is Volo.They say that they were looking for Jett, just stop being a fucking retard.
>>58509123You stop being mean
Mega Dimension japanese website says that the story will release during this winter which would be December 1 to February 28 in Japan. Mega Chesnaught season should end December 17 assuming 3 weeks long seasons like Greninja and they should distribute the triggers to Diancie and Mewtwo events before the DLC. I think Late December to somewhere in January is likely, specially since there's no Nintendo exclusives releasing during that period.
>>58508984Anon, the reason everything is stacked towards the end of 2025 for Nintendo is that the Switch 2, for the longest time, was supposed to release last year, but didn't. If all went to plan, ZA would have been out last year, the DLC (or DLCs) would have been out by now and we would be sat here arguing over which part sucked the hardest.But also>Gen 10 reveal imminent so releasing it too close to pokemon day means it could easily be forgotten once gen 10 is announcedPLA released 30 days before SV's announcement, and still pushed an additional content update that people barely touched on the day of the announcement, they clearly don't care about one game overshadowing the other.And also also>Only one major expansion compared to SS and SV’s twoI thought the twitter clout whores said it has two? Were they wrong about that or just making shit up?
>>58500485>>58500557The whole city is in ruin, and in turn, is a wild zone. Underground Lumiose City is now a thing. No one was strong enough to be the "strongest mega user", so due to this, the citizens had to flee underground with the aid of the Pokémon that did decide to help the humans. Characters from the current dimension are now survivor characters (Ivor is essentially a leader, Jacinthe no longer behaves like a evil woman and tries her best to be a leader, Canari is now in charge of construction due to her grandpa sacrificing himself for the people to make it through the underground safely, Gwynn is now strong like Ivor for the sake of both her brother and Canari, Corbeau is gone)
>>58501317Kek and not every bear had an ass. Tbh I liked a lot of the sidequests like with Spewpa, the Pikachu kid, the Furfrou stuff, things along those lines were good. Others just gave you good items. I think they were overall pretty good.
>>58509809Yeah, it has to be mentioned the rewards were generally good between TMs, evolution items and stat/type-boosting held items. Lots of jrpgs are heavily lacking in terms of sidequest rewards.
>>58509786>Corbeau is goneThat'd piss off so many fangirls.
>>58499780they don't fucking care.
>>58499470If we dont leave Lumiose this is will be a total failure
