Help, I’m trapped in Hyperspace Lumiose
This short is part of my Gaming Year in Review 2025 video!
Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Mega Dimension is the sixteenth and final game I beat in 2025. Okay, I know it's DLC, but you know what I mean!
Last but not least, Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Mega Dimension.
After the events of the main story, a little girl and her mythical Pokémon, Hoopa, appear as pocket dimensions start spawning everywhere. You’re tasked to investigate with your new bestie Korrina and your old bestie rival in what’s being called Hyperspace Lumiose. Pokémon previously not available start to appear, as well as a few more new mega Pokémon. Oh, how do you enter those pocket dimensions? Why, donuts, of course!
Why would you even ask? You see, because of Hoopa’s rings, and—actually, this is my favorite thing about Pokémon. They’re not afraid to get silly goofy. In fact, they should continue to be silly goofy. I mean, they’re games for kids!
With the DLC, they also add a bunch of side quests from the insane citizens of Lumiose, and every now and then, they hit you with some meaningful dialogue. In a game where a major death occurs, and the events of this game are a direct result of a previous game, there’s a lot of conversation about embracing change. Honestly, it makes me feel better about not being 10 years old anymore.
Pokémon has always had dialogue that gets you like that from random NPCs, and it may just be because it was the right time for me to play this game, but this game hit home for me on multiple occasions, and the DLC was no different.
