The last major announcement from today's Pokémon Presents was a teaser trailer for a new Pokémon Legends game. While no gameplay was shown, we do know that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be set entirely in the city of Luminois City. The name of that city should sound familiar to Pokémon fans as it is the major city in the Kalos region.
