With the Mega Dimension DLC out for Pokémon Legends ZA, our resident Pokéxperts gathered share their wishes for the next iteration of the series. Honestly, a lot of the main mechanics have been pretty ironed out over time, so we delve into a bit more of the hardcore fan desire in this one. 

Also! If you enjoyed this, we've launched a new watchalong podcast over on our Patreon, Podcastémon Horizons! In it, us 3 are watching and discussing the Pokémon Horizons anime series. The first episode is free right here:

In addition, we've been doing the same with the original Ash run of the anime and are currently in the Johto run. The first 5 episodes are free here:
