I know I'm in the minority but I'm actually really excited for Mega Babaracle as it's one of my favourite Pokemon. Different to regional forms I think Megas should definitely be for Pokemon that need a buff/something to make people want to use them and I don't think Babaracle gets the love it deserves.
I just read all the descriptions and a lot of them sound very cool, can't wait to see the designs.

I just looked and omg. It's so goofy compared to what I imagined from the leaked concept list
I'm going to go with one of the others at this rate.Crazy that they can't come up with Mega Flygon but made that
Edit: That being said, I also thought Greninja was booty when it got leaked, and I was wrong once I saw the 3d model properly
pokémon legends: z-a releases on october 16th, 2025. the cover art is absolutely stunning as well !

Well, I’m going to make a preorder within the next couple of months. I typically preorder all of the main title Pokémon games a month or two before release.

The pokemon Direct had a tiny bit more shown of Pokemon Z-A
Not too much, but it did show that we can change our hairstyles, clothing - though hardly showing what the male can choose, while they displayed a lot of cooler clothing for female players. :/ Hopefully there's more for male.
Though, now I am trying to decide should I instead choose the female player, as I noticed the rival sticks around a lot, and I still perfer Urbain, even though I picked a fav name for my male character player.
We also got a new mega evluotion!
We only see one, but I can't imagine they would only make one new mega. Actually don't mind the look of the new mega.

I think it's mostly fine but it should be blue. Maybe the shiny could be blue

I'm interested in the game though it seems like you are secluded to only the city that this game takes place in? I kind of wish we could explore outside the city as well. I've never been to obsessed with the mega-evolution forms or whatever of the Pokemon but I do agree that hte dragonite looks a little weird but it may grow on me.

Mega Dragonite looks goofy.
About as goofy as the original, I'd say.

💜 wooly wonderful 💗
Overall, I'm neutral about Mega Dragonite. I do like that it has a few characteristics from Dragonair, like the pearl on its tail and the wings on its head. Dragonair is able to expand the wings on its head, as shown in the anime:
Mega Dragonite has been getting a ton of hate. I personally don't see what's wrong with the design. I think some people just set their expectations too high by looking at too much fan art. You can catch 'em all, but you can't please 'em all. Dragonite is a derpy dragon design to begin with. It's not like it would go from dopey-looking to ferocious-looking. If people want a mean, angry Dragonite, look no further than Iris's Dragonite, lol
Also, Mega Slowbro. It's just Slowbro but with 90% more Shellder. That's as simple of a design as a mega Pokémon can possibly get. Compared to that, Mega Dragonite is not THAT bad, especially considering Mega Sharpedo, Mega Garchomp, Mega Abomasnow and Mega Aggron exist. Those are absolute stinkers in terms of design, imo
It's hard to believe, but not every mega can look like Mega Rayquaza or Mega Charizard X.

Spoiler tagged in case anyone is going into ZA blind.
I think it looks awesome! It's mask and gold chest plate design reminds me of a mix of Ultimo Dragon, a Japanese wrestler, and the Power Rangers.
This is up there with one of the coolest Mega Pokemon they've done for me.

I'm really happy to see Hawlucha get a mega evolution! I prefer it when Pokémon who don't evolve or aren't competitive get megas, so this was a nice surprise to see. I used one for a bit in S/V for fun, and now I wanna use it again. 
I didn't use one in Y because I had Chesnaught.I'm really happy to see Hawlucha get a mega evolution! I prefer it when Pokémon who don't evolve or aren't competitive get megas, so this was a nice surprise to see. I used one for a bit in S/V for fun, and now I wanna use it again.
Excited to use it in ZA!
