Pokemon Z and Pokemon in real life?



     So I was a little worried that I would miss the bus so to speak on Pokemon Go but today I also learned about the leaks for Zygade so I guess I get to talk about two big bits of Pokemon news.

     First up is Pokemon Go. I'm sure most of you already know about it but to refresh: it is an app currently in production that works kind of like the game Ingress in terms of how game-play is handled. One thing I noticed about the trailer is that with the exception of one girl all the actors are in their 20s and 30s, so Pokemon Co is probably aiming at the older Pokemon audience (a claim further supported when you realize that all the Pokemon shown in the trailer are from Gen. 1.) With that and the fact that at least one senior Pokemon staffer will help out with the game, makes me definitely interested in the game. I do want to caution everybody, including myself, to not get too excited over the visuals shown since while it would be EXTREMELY cool if the game played like that it probably won't.

     The other thing I want to touch on is the fact that, accounting to a recent leak:

That's right guys that legendary from X and Y that most if not everybody ignored isn't even fully formed, 50% formed actually. With 10% form preceding it and 100% form following it. If these rumors are true it could mean both the first evolving legendary (yes I know Raquaza got a Mega but that's a different type of evolution even by Pokemon standards) and could also mean Pokemon Z is coming out. Over all I am super stoked to see what this rumor has in store for us.
