Pokemon Legends: Z-A is finally bringing the fan-favorite Mega Evolution mechanic back after it was originally left behind on the 3DS, and leakers are now claiming that a pretty massive number of new Megas will be joining the lineup, too.
There's a multitude of reasons why Mega Evolutions are so popular, and why their return is so exciting as a result. The powerful, temporary evolved forms of certain Pokemon don't just look cool, but they've given a number of underwhelming 'mons a real opportunity to shine in the past with buffed-up stats, new abilities, and sometimes even new Types. Occasionally, they've also been given to already-powerful Pokemon to make them even more deadly, and hey, that's fun too. In Legends: Z-A's first gameplay trailer, a number of returning Megas were confirmed, including Absol, Altaria, Lucario, Charizard (both X and Y forms), and more.
Clarifying that they mean a PC keyboard, we seem to be looking at the escape key. Which, uh, notably isn't a number at all. However, it's not taken long for detectives to look deeper into this – the 'esc' character can also be represented by the ASCII code 27. Just in case there was any doubt about Pyoro's intentions here, they've responded to the Pokemon leak account @CentroLeaks, which reshared the 27 new Mega Evolutions claim, simply saying "real."
Obviously, do take this with a pinch of salt while it remains unconfirmed, but if this is true, that's a massive amount of new Mega Evolutions joining the fray. Up to this point, we've had 48 of them total – a further 27 would bring us up to 75. Speculation has already begun surrounding who these supposed new Mega Evolutions might be for – other leakers have already begun dropping cryptic hints, while fans are out here begging for the likes of Flygon and Dragonite to finally get the love they deserve.
