Pokémon Pokemon Legends Z-A General Discussion

Spoiler: mega stone rant

I think I just have to rant somewhere about my gripes with the game, lol. But my main concern is that, why did they lock a lot of the mega stones behind story content?? I shiny hunted Mawile very early on so she could be my partner Pokemon, and I was excited to use her for the rest of the story until I found out you had to progress much further to get her mega stone. So I was like, okay I'll shiny hunt Froslass and Scolipede then so I can use them. Surprise!! Their stones are ALSO locked behind mid- to late-story missions. Meanwhile other 'mons have their stones available from the get-go. I even have a Delphox on my team and I learned you need to do online battles to get their mega stone. Huh??? Wdym I can't use the mega of this pokemon I get early on?? Why are you preventing me from enjoying the mega of this pokemon throughout the story?

I get maybe the new 'mons can have their megas locked until a certain story point, but Mawile has been an established Mega already. I don't care if I have to pay to get a Mawilite, I want it from the get-go because I love shiny mega Mawile. Lame asf.

Overall I'm having fun with the game, the characters are lovable and exploring is fun, but locking some megas behind story mode really hurt my impression of the game. "Mega-evolve your pokemon to defeat other mega pokemon!!" yea I would if I could. Right now with where I am in the story, the only mega-able mons on my team are Gyarados and Lopunny, and I'm not interested in levelling up other 'mons for the sake of using the available megas. It's probably not a big deal for majority but it hurts my immersion of the game if I'm unable to mega-evolve pokemon that have been available to me early on, lmao.

I have been having a lot of fun playing. The new battle system took some getting used to but really liking it. It’s fun looking for shiny Pokemon. My complaint was the huge leap in level. I wouldn’t have minded it had it not been so big.

Can I get a Jolteon early on? That's a good selling point

I saw in a YouTube video that you can find an Eevee within the first couple hours and after two promotion battles I think and get a Thunder Stone from the Stone Emporium which is unlocked around the same time. I haven’t found Eevee’s exact location yet but it’s on one of the roofs as a guaranteed static encounter.

Here is the map I use to find eevee .

Well at least the level jump isn’t as bad as GSC’s was after you got the Fog Badge. I just remember how weird it was that your Pokémon were so over leveled compared to the wild Pokémon which were way too low for where they were located.

That’s true , I had forgotten all about that. It was just weird to skip so many . I kinda thought they might skip some. Was just hoping they would wait longer. My main team right now is around 40.
