Kinda crazy that Legend Z-A is probably the Pokemon game surrounded by the biggest pressure from fanbase...ever.
>graphics wise
After SV and its technical issues everyone expects Legend ZA to be a lot better or at the very least to have a stable performance
>as a follow up to Legends Arcues
PLA was a game that completely broke the pattern we had for over 20 years in Pokemon games. Different style, different rules, it was so inventive (for Pokemon standards) and a lot of people was impressed by it. Now everyone excpect PLZA to be even better
>First game to be set entirely in a city
I feel like this doesnt get talked enough. Its something Pokemon NEVER did before as we have no idea how it could work and who GF will make it work conisdering most new games were just open wilderness areas.
>A follow up to XY
XY is the only entry in the series to never get an extension of its world, ideas and features...untill now. Many people want to see how Kalos themes, story and lore can be explored further
>The big silence
Its been almost 7 months since the reveal and we have no updates and we know almost literally nothing about the game. It feels like the most mysterious Pokemon game they released probably since DP (and the promo campaigns worked different back then anyway)
>TPC hyping it up
I dont think they ever called any of the upcoming games "Ambitious" which i read as risky and them trying hard to please the fanbase.

I think people's expecttation are getting higher the longer they wait with revealing anything which might result in even greater negativity if they dont deliver
