Kevin, can I see that trailer again? And what's exciting about it is... A couple different things. One, this is probably going to be the first game that is going to be played on the Switch 2. I don't think it's going to be a Switch 2 game. Sure.

That's exciting. It might be. I just still don't understand how Nintendo is going to handle that stuff. My theory is it's just going to be a Switch game and that's it. Maybe you get some enhancements. I don't think it's going to be like everything's 4K or whatever.

Pokemon Z-A. And the other exciting thing is this is the longest it's been for a very long time that we haven't got annualized Pokemon games. Sure. And after the last one we got was Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We got two big DLC packs for that. But the fact that it's been this long, only a little over a year since we've had a full on Pokemon game. Yeah.

The expectations are a little higher on this one. You know? Hopefully, like, we look at it and don't immediately go, ugh.

And on top of that, it's interesting because this is not a mainline game. This is a Legends game, and we've only had one Legends, so we don't know if this is going to just be very similar to Legends Arceus, or if Legends can kind of be more anthology-like in terms of gameplay.

Yeah, and again, mainline, these are weird words, but when we talk about the generations of Pokemon, Generation 1 with Red and Blue, Generation 9 with Scarlet and Violet, those are the games that come out that you get, have the three starter Pokemon, you choose one of them, you go on your journey, you fight the eight gym leaders, and then become the champion. You know what I mean?

You know what I mean?

slight variations on that game to game but that's kind of like all right cool we know what we're getting into pokemon legends like took place in the past and it was like the origins of learning yeah you gotta remember you fell through a portal you went back in time yeah and it there was no gyms there was no the the battle system was different like the gameplay was different like you're walking around and actively kind of catching it's a bit more active i remember that actually as opposed to and still turn based but like there was more active elements to it

But because we only had that one, I just don't know what to expect. And because they didn't show us any real gameplay here, I think that this is going to be somewhere in the middle between what we got last time with Legends and a more core Pokemon game. But we'll find out next week of what that ends up being. But they are going to position this as a major release.

Even though it's not a new generation, it is still... They're trying to make Legends the second...

vertical of mainline games for them sure um so high expectations there on top of that reb kind of killed it here with like what to expect exactly pokemon presents pokemon has so many different things to talk about whether it's uh unite the mobile game um the masters which is the battling uh mobile game the pokemon cafe remix uh pokemon go and they do always update about every single little thing so we're gonna get a lot of that type of stuff

How long are you expecting this to be? They're usually like 30 minutes. But then there's always that X factor of what don't we know, right? And with that, we can always talk about when are they actually going to bring the originals to Nintendo Switch Online.
