I’m certain Nintendo anticipated the most important information of this morning’s Direct to be all of the Mario fortieth anniversary information or the brand new Hearth Emblem, however essentially, it was Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Mega Dimension DLC. We all know nothing in regards to the premise or the way it will tie into the RPG’s broader story, however we do know that it’s including not one, however two Mega Evolutions for Raichu, the long-disrespected last evolution of Pikachu. Life is price residing, truly.
The teaser trailer reveals Hoopa, the dimension-opening Pokemon, opening a portal to a realm full of recent Mega Stones, together with two for Raichu. Curiously sufficient, each Mega Raichu variants appear to mix components of each it and Pikachu, with Mega Raichu X having two Pikachu-like tails, and Mega Raichu Y having a physique extra like Pikachu, with an extended Raichu-style tail and antler-like horns that resemble the lightning bolt on the finish of Raichu’s tail. X’s colour scheme can also be extra yellow, much like Pikachu’s, whereas Y maintains Raichu’s orange base. Try the teaser beneath:
There’ll little question be of us bummed that Mega Raichu X and Y are apparently gated behind a paid DLC. I’m irritated I possible received’t have the ability to use both throughout my major playthrough of Legends: Z-A when it launches subsequent month. After many years of complaining about Raichu not getting any love from Recreation Freak, I can’t afford to be too choosy proper now, although. Hopefully there shall be some solution to entry Raichu’s Mega Stones early on in a playthrough after the DLC launches. I’m simply brainsick sufficient to play the complete sport over once more if it means I get to have a Mega Evolution of my favourite Pokémon for the complete run. We don’t at present know the way a lot Mega Dimension will value, or how lengthy after Legends: Z-A‘s October 16 launch will probably be come out.
