'Like others in the Pokémon community, we've been asking ourselves whether or not Lumiose City will boast enough detail and scale to sustain a full-price adventure.

...we think we know the answer: yes, Lumiose is big and beautiful enough to satisfy.'

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Preview - Our thoughts after playing the demos at Gamescom
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is only a month and a half away at time of writing - and at two years and 11 months, the time gap between it and Scarlet and Violet is the longest ever between releases of main series Pokémon games. Unsurprisingly, anticipation for the second game in the Legends sub-series...

If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.
