Get ready, Trainers! The highly anticipated "Pokémon Legends Z-A," the latest entry in the "Pokémon Legends" series announced for development in 2024, recently dropped its second, more detailed trailer. And wow, did it deliver! Not only did it give us a glimpse of a super-advanced Lumiose City, the heart of the Kalos region, but it also unveiled the game's starters—Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile—along with the protagonist's look and other characters making an appearance.
But what really got "Pokémon" fans buzzing was the protagonist's appearance and their potential lineage in "Pokémon Legends Z-A"! Given how "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" featured characters who were clearly ancestors of those from "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl," players are now making some bold guesses. Based on the new protagonist's look, many are speculating they could be a descendant of none other than Professor Sycamore from "Pokémon X and Y."
This isn't just a wild theory, either! Take a good look at the official reveal of the male protagonist: that curly hair and facial structure bear an uncanny resemblance to Professor Sycamore. With all these similar features, it's hard not to connect the dots to the professor who dedicated his life to studying Pokémon evolution.
So, if this theory holds water, the male protagonist of "Pokémon Legends Z-A" could very well be Professor Sycamore's son, and the female protagonist his daughter! Of course, we'll have to wait for official announcements or more juicy clues from the developers to confirm these exciting possibilities.
▼ Some fans are even wondering if Shauna might have a connection to the "Pokémon Legends Z-A" female protagonist!
"Pokémon Legends Z-A" is slated for a Fall 2025 release, and as previously confirmed, it will launch on the original Nintendo Switch. As for whether it'll make its way to a next-gen console like the Nintendo Switch 2 in the future? That's still under wraps!
