Centro LEAKS is back again with a new set of information leaking more from Nintendo and Game Freak’s upcoming development, “Pokemon Legends: ZA,” which brings more details to the upcoming title. The source claimed that the anonymous leaker was able to play an early version of the game and it’s currently experiencing lag, but overall, the new title is “very nice.”

Aside from this high praise for the gameplay experience, the unnamed leaker also revealed that Stunfisk, a Ground- and Electric-type Pokemon, is returning to “Pokemon Legends: ZA.”

It was also revealed that the developers are bringing back the iconic “shiny” sound effects that were heard in “Pokemon Legends: Arceus,” but it was not shared what the mechanics behind it will be.

Mega Evolutions Will Return In ‘Legends: ZA’

Also, Centro LEAKS shared that “Pokemon Legends: ZA” is set to bring back Mega Evolutions from previous games, as discovered from game source codes that mention their existence. It will focus on the Mega Evolution version of Zygarde, a Dragon-type and Earth-type from Generation VI of “Pokémon X and Y,” along with the Mythical Electric-type Mega Zeroara of Gen. VII.

The leaker also revealed that based on the Game Freak hack, the team originally planned to release the game this year, but for undisclosed reasons pushed back its drop to 2025.

What to expect from the “Pokemon” franchise.

The well-known manga, anime and game series is set to bring more experiences to players that will offer more species of famous and lovable creatures, with more regions for everyone to explore. Pokemon COO Takato Utsunomiya previously stated that the franchise will continue for “hundreds of years,” offering different types of “pocket monsters” and more.

The Pokémon franchise in games did not see direct development of its titles over the past few years, introducing remasters to previous games as well as one of the most innovative games ever. Nintendo, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company were previously praised for their iconic 2022 RPG, “Pokemon Legends: Arceus,” which explored its origins and history.

After a major hit with “Arceus,” Nintendo is looking to further expand its “Pokemon Legends” series with a new game slated for next year, but this time, it’s heading to the region of Kalos. While the recent hack against Game Freak is unfortunate for the company, it provides the latest information on the company’s past, present and future releases, especially for “Pokemon Legends: ZA.”
