The announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A was somewhat of a surprise for many fans who were expecting a new game set in Unova, but a new game set in Pokemon X and Y's Kalos Region is a welcome change after Gen 6 left the region's potential unfulfilled. There are still a lot of unknowns about Pokemon Legends: Z-A outside of its setting within Lumiose City, but the game has the potential to shape the future of the entire franchise. If a third Pokemon Legends game is planned for the future, its setting may have already been teased in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, like how many fans believed Pokemon Legends: Z-A was teased in the same way.
