With very few concrete details revealed about Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it's hard to compare the game to its predecessor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, without following a few assumptions about the series. While it's been confirmed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A will take place entirely within the Kalos Region's Lumiose City, things like the time period the game is set in or the mascot Legendary it will feature have been left up to fan speculation. This lack of information leaves the game missing key parts of its identity when compared to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, potentially setting the game up to subvert fan expectations.
