Pokémon Legends: Arceus deviated from the franchise’s typical chill vibe by introducing wild monsters that posed a threat to players. The new trailer for Legends: Z-A suggests that Nintendo wants to keep this horror element, which might be more prominent in the upcoming game.
The latest trailer highlights a mysterious incident involving two young trainers exploring an abandoned building in Lumiose City. The eerie atmosphere is filled with strange noises and corrosive puddles, but the trainers persevere. Upstairs, they encounter a gigantic Mega Victreebel, its acidic vomit causing chaos.
According to the press release, Mega Victreebel’s new form contains more acid, making it prone to spilling over. This detail explains its bag-like appearance as it’s overflowing with deadly ooze. However, the trailer also shows that this Mega Victreebel is not a mindless beast but rather a creature of a construction worker trying to train his partner.
What’s intriguing about the trailer is how it suggests missions similar to “The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident,” where players investigate strange occurrences around Lumiose. This highlights the game’s focus on humans figuring out how to coexist with Pokémon in a city meant for both species. With wild monsters capable of attacking, this danger might make Legends: Z-A feel like another thrilling experience when it drops in October.
