Regardless WHEN you assume L: Z-A to be set, the fact of the matter is they're going to mimic France's real-world history of Paris for Lumiose, meaning the area we're going to likely WON'T have alphas running around, due to the surrounding area being settled by humans for over 2 centuries, limiting their range and ability to grow unchecked.
Fuck, you gobshites need to start looking at real world history when they announce new pokémon games, to stop yourselves making tits of yourselves. DDPt had no gimmick, thus they added Alphas for a miniboss. L: Z-A's confirmed to have a gimmick already and it's not "pokémon but biger"
