6th Gen Pokemon Z -Speculations

[WishCookie]

It may be too early to even think about Pokemon Z but since we got us a legendary snake pokemon that will probably represent the follow up of X and Y I wanted to know some of your thoughts about the upcomming game (If there will be one.)

So, is there anything you want Gamfreak to add into the next possible game? Is there anything you want to be changed in the game? Is there anything you want them to remove? Etc. Come up with your own discussions and questions too.

I hope in the possible third game or sequel they make the world fully 3D, also they should make it less cartoony...oh and fix the slowness of the battles...as there's sometimes a drop...

 

[Kanzler]

Please, please, please make a better story! I want Team Flare to be menacing and relevant.

umm, read my post buddy, you will see how menacing they were.

... but it has the least logic of any team i have seen.

This. They were certainly destructive, but their lack of relevance took away from how menacing they could have been. His worldview, as you mentioned, isn't the most coherent. He talks a lot about his ideals, but it just seems so irrelevant looking at the Pokemon world and how everybody's so happy all the time and giving you free items and such.

X and Y Spoilers

Spoiler:

Well the Pokemon Zygarde does pretty much set in stone that Z would be the next logical step

 

[DamienHelvian]

Idk now...Zygarde doesn't seem like he'd have a good enough story to have his own game. The pokemon of Balance and Order...not what I was expecting.
Caught him though~

In BW, Kyurem didn't seem to have much of a backstory.

The one thing I ask for is a battle frontier. Emerald and Platinum had one, so can Z please?

 

[Murkrow]

Its pretty obvious Zygarde will be the mascot of Z and have some sort of forme changes. His current design isn't exactly attractive cover art/box material.

no more exp share so early in the game, make it only given much later or post e4

easy/normal/challenge mode

much more expansive postgame (other than just finding megastones and a safari)

 

[uhhh6677]

easy/normal/challenge mode

This, and have it selectable without multiplayer stuff. Like an option at the beginning, maybe during the Prof. monologue.

Zygrade will definitely be the mascot of the third installment. Well, unless, of course, they decide to give us some sort of a twist and go along with some other Pokémon as the game's headliner. xD Just like manutdrule, I'm expecting Zygrade to have a different form. Maybe it could be a megaevolution? Either that, or instead megaevolution, perhaps they could give this Pokémon a real evolutionary form. This would make Zygrade the first legendary Pokémon to ever have an evolution, which, in my opinion, would be quite huge. I know that legendary Pokémon are one-of-a-kind, and they shouldn't breed, evolve, or any of that stuff, but I think they should make Zygrade the only exception to this rule.

Technically Phione and Manaphy are legendary, and they're an evolutionary line....
Although their legendary status is still debated, due to breeding capabilities.

Anyone wonder if Lysandre will come back in Z? Either as some sort of freak of science, like a cyborg...
Or by the ultimate weapon itself somehow.

I remember somebody said that the theme of Life, Death and Order was linked to some real world mythology(was it Norse..? I think so...) just like how Reshiram and Zekrom was linked to Ying and Yang. Like Flush'd said, Kyurem didn't really have a backstory besides the huge meteor crashing onto Unova and that freak emerged(according to one of the NPCs, this was disconfirmed by BW2 in which it was revealed that it was the leftovers of Reshiram and Zekrom's original fused form).
I'm expecting the sequel to contain more details about Zygarde and its link to the Ultimate Weapon. I hope it would be like the idea of BW2, a numbered sequel to the previous game, so at least our previous hero/heroine's accomplishments were actually canon :D

While it may not seem powerful or good enough for Zygarde to deserve its own game.. balance and order is what makes the Pokemon universe function, isn't it? Being the Pokemon to keep balance and order seems like a perfectly legitimate reason alone for it to be good enough to create a third game in the series.

Also, more post-game content- if not, more main story content.. :v

All of this! Granted that I've spent 40 something hours playing around and have yet to get to the E4, some more things to do after would be awesome.

I'm interested in what will make Zygarde resemble a Z, because as of now I don't really see it.

 

[Munchlax11]

I want them to add to the story. It all happened way too quickly. I think X and Y were great starts to this gen, but they can make it so much better, and I'm already looking forward to Z because it has so much potential. I'm hoping it will be add on to the events that happened in X and Y like B2/W2 added on to the events in B/W. The pace of the game became a lot faster after the 3rd gym, but I liked how slow it was near the beginning. I was still satisfied that I got 35 hours of gameplay in the story, but 20 of those hours came before the 3rd gym. I hope they make the trainers levels higher too, if they opt to kepp the exp sharer. The game was far too easy. I expect them to work out the little kinks, and to advance the story, and improve an already great generation.

 

[Kerjo]

I just thought of this, but I think Z will be taking the route of Emerald and Platinum. In B/W where we had sequels, both legendary Pokemon are present within the story, whereas in X and Y we're back to having one Legend having all the spotlight in their respective game. This is giving me the vibe that in Z, both legends will be involved and Zygarde will somehow stop them.

 

[Princess Diana]

I really want a Z game to be released.

I'd like to see more post-game and perhaps a slightly larger region. :P

P.S. I don't want an XY2 because I'd feel inclined to buy both and I don't have that much money to spend!

 

[Sceptile14]

To be honest, I don't think that they will make a third game that is any way like Emerald or Platinum anymore. My reason for this is that after the much better sequel approach they might not want to go back to a game that is the same as the others, but slightly better. It's just the same as what game companies such as EA are doing right now.
What I hope that happens is that there are sequels, bu they are completely different from B2/W2. Lysandre could have survived that blast somehow(It's a stretch, I know, but anything is possible) This time they could do something with Zygarde to make him relevant, they could also bring the protaganist from X/Y back with either Xerneas or Yveltal. Anything is possible. I just wouldn't expect the traditional third game installment like we have previously had.
