They went to the arse of relating it to the ONLY other title in the series that doesn't play like a modern game, thus indicating it was likely more like L: A than Pokémon XY. I will say retards who squeal about patternfagging ignore the franchise RUNS on fucking patterns, when they shit out a new Gen ever three years, containing such tropes as "Grass/Fire/Water initial choice, regional shitmon rodent and bird, 3-stage pseduo line and box legend trio (which still persists, only expanded to adding a Box Legend for each part of the DLC packs)" among others but you're free to imagine L: Z-A as playing like Pokéon Z if you want. Only have a few days to find out who was closer to the truth.
