So, what happened /vp/?

We had the gigaleak. Space World demo came out. Leaker kept quiet about Sw/Sh, but we still got an early version. Draft version of Pokémon Pikachu Go.

Yet nothing for Z except "KALOS RESERVE" in the source code of Gen 7.

What's the widely accepted theory? Did work ever start on the game? Any leaks/hints of it being conceptualised outside of the obvious inaccessible moves in XY? Was it intended for 2015?

My boy got done dirty.

Zygarde existing certainly makes you think a Z version was supposed to exist. And I think we were supposed to get one, but nu-GF somewhere along the line realized how much work that’d equate to since Pokémon is now full 3D so they never acted on it.

It's dirty how Zygarde's 100% forme is tied to an ability and not a freely permanent forme change like Deoxys, Giratina, the genies, Kyurem etc

Also, not getting to see Zygarde stomping Lysandre in "Z" or whatever Kalos game that would had followed is also sad.

Yes it was intended for 2015. XYZ happens to debut just in time to coincide with a Z game in japan.

Many people say it is due to gamefreak wanting to rush sun moon out for 20th anniversary. This is however not true. Gen 7 is already in development directly after XY. It is a 3 years development like every other main gen games. Whether Z exist or not, sun moon is always intended for 2016. It is not being pushed forward from 2017 or something.

The more likely reason now is, it is for gen 8. That is around the time they receive the nintendo switch development kit. As it is a totally different hardware compared to the DS to 3DS jump, they decide to cancel Z after ORAS so they can send part of the team to study the switch hardware (which becomes LGPE) while the rest get absorbed into sun moon development team).

Do note that this is speculation but is quite likely. Unlike the DS to 3DS hardware transition, 3DS to switch is much different. SwSh has to be developed directly after Sun Moon. 3 years development without understanding the hardware will result in even worse quality in SwSh. By cancelling Z and studying the hardware first (which become LGPE), they build a foundation that prevent SwSh from being an even worse disaster.

Gen 6 was never good enough nor original enough for a 3rd version, cope.

Wait for the remake 10 years later and hope it'll be xz or xy or watever.

Imagine caring about this in 2021. You got your silly forms, and most of you would have roasted that game anyway.

Going “no u” doesn't make sense. Just admit you haven’t played the third versions and move on.
