I feel like the nighttime aesthetic is the most key part of Z-A’s difference between it and mainline games aesthetically, which was what confused me on the first trailer.
It gives the feeling of Lumiose being in a frantic frenzy of people hungry for power, seeing trainers as threats in this weird battle royale environment. The music is especially excellently picked as it sells this feeling so well. The remix of the Trainer Battle theme sounds more like an underground fighting ring rendition.
