>>56137211>- How big the map will beI think it'll be about the size of all PLA's individual maps stitched together. Each area in PLA will equate to a district/plaza in PLZA.
>- StoryOverall plot there's no telling. We don't even know for certain what time-era it'll be in.
But obviously Zygarde will be a big part of it. Think we'll likely be tasked with finding all the cores to assemble Complete Zygarde.
Xerneas and Yveltal will very likely have a role to play as well. I know people think we'll get a 4th Legendary to that trio, too.
I also think Rayquaza will have some role, either in the main story or post-game.
>- Time periodI'm leaning towards more in the future where they're redesigning Lumiose into a giga-city.
BUT I also think it's possible we'll be in the past, going back and forth between the two eras.
>- New PokémonI really, REALLY want more cross-gen evolutions. PLA and Scarlet/Violet both had a good number of them.
Main concern is that the return of Megas, which means NEW Megas, will take away "slots" from actual cross-gen evolutions.
I guess lookalike Pokemon count too. May see one or two lookalike lines.
>- New formsI feel like they may be straying away from regional forms, so I can see maybe one or two lines.
Rest will be Megas. Kalos starters and Flygon I think are incredibly likely.
>- The starters.Either the Kalos starters with Mega Stones or a mixed group with regional forms.
If the latter, Serperior, Cinderace, and Empoleon would be neat. Really want Grass/Steel Serperior.
>- How it ties into the franchise as a whole.No idea. Probably just learn more about AZ. Don't think it'll really tie into other Pokemon games.
>+ anything else you can come up with.I really think ALL Pokemon with Mega Evolutions will return. Including the Kanto and Hoenn starters, probably as post-game quests.
