Given the current situation and the way the core games are going as of Pokemon Legends Z-A, looks like about everything we all know about pokemon's about to phase out. From the traditional rated e core games to the battle gameplay as well as the new gaming format for the VGC competition. For those who tend to be a naysayer about everything I say. Well, As of Legends Z-A transitioning towards the new gen games, the new changes are here to stay!!

    I'm excited for the game. Ever since they made catching pokemon in Arceus a simple action, I wondered when they would make combat more in depth. I'm just waiting for them to reveal more pokemon. we don't even know if there's a new for for the starter pokemon

    Im just happy there's finally a chance they add more African-American style haircuts. As one myself, it was annoying to have to choose straight hair because they only either had cornrows or a fade.

    I sincerely doubt that Pokémon will not have turn based battles in Generation 10. It would be like a Zelda game where you couldn't smash pots, or a Sonic game with no running. It wouldn't be Pokémon anymore, and I doubt they'll do that. I still think they're introducing doing something different for each Legends game: Catching, batting, whatever is next.

    Legends Arceus is one of my favorite mainline entries in the series and I have played the traditional games for a long time, even played some of the first entries. I am glad that they are here to stay, the old battle system is outdated and needed to be replaced with a system that is more engaging. The change in rating may also allow for more freedom in story writing and gameplay design. Honestly I am hoping for the best, as pretty much every mainline switch entry minus a few exceptions have sucked.

    It's NOT staying, as far as I can tell. And I find the system engaging enough! My thoughts get running like crazy, I have to choose what to do, can this strategy work, do I risk it on him being slow, Cinderace is down so do I choose Absol or Sylveon- I never think this fast but in a Pokémon battle.
