Located in Luminous City in the Kalos region, Pokemon Legends: ZA presented players with some new gameplay mechanics to keep the adventure fresh. Game Freak also brought back Mega Evolutions from previous generations. Thanks to this, various Pokemon gained a Mega form for the first time in the franchise. One of these pocket monsters was Starmie. This enhanced version of the Pokémon had longer legs, a design choice that displeased some fans.
