Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s director appears to be a Xenoblade Chronicles fan, and I’m now feeling very validated about a tiny detail I spotted in the upcoming RPG’s gameplay trailer

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is finally gearing up for release later this year, and while we only just found out who its director is in the last week, we’ve just figured out something else about him that I for one am hoping might have an impact on the upcoming RPG – he appears to be a Xenoblade Chronicles fan.

Haruka Tochigi has been credited on multiple Pokemon games since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but Legends: Z-A will be his first time directing a game. Clearly though, he’s got very good taste in games himself, as yesterday he took to Twitter to share that he’d bought the newly released Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. As content creator Aero so succinctly puts it, “oh we fucking won.”
