There's no gym challenge, no League fuck all returning characters of note, but a post-game NPC the majority of people didn't know existed (picrel), the deuteragonist of the thing and the antagonist team in varying stages of fail (from the house-arrested Professor to the wandering hoboes). New characters, new storyline, following on clearly from the events of XY, but not actually intended to be what you wanted. Not "Z", not "XY2" and that's why you babby bastards are pissing and shitting yourselves in disbelief over (newsflash, L: A was as it was because it was intended to be an entire break from the modern era, only to pul right back on that and TIE it to the modern era. L: Z-A was intended to follow on from XY but not actually give a shit about the nuts'n'bolts of XY, Japanese are Francophiles, figures they wanted to piss about in PokéFrance AGAIN while adding new gimmick forms).
