Summary

  • Pokemon Legends: Z-A's release date art has seemingly confirmed that Looker's adopted daughter Emma will feature in the game.
  • In the art, we can see a woman battling the game's two protagonists, who appears to have a similar haircut to Emma, and is seemingly wearing her Expansion Suit.
  • We don't know whether Looker himself will feature, but if Game Freak doesn't want to upset me personally, they will include a reunion of some kind.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A got a release date announcement earlier today, dropping completely out of the blue to tell us that we'll be running around Kalos again on October 16 later this year. Alongside the announcement was a lovely piece of art that showcased various Mega Evolutions that will be included in the game, as well as what appears to be a battle between the two protagonists and a mystery opponent.

Upon closer inspection, fans noticed that there's a strong possibility that this mystery opponent is actually one of the more popular characters in the Pokemon series, and will be a joyous sight for those who played Pokemon X & Y's post-game. Yes, fans believe that this mystery woman is none other than Looker's adopted daughter Emma.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Is Officially Bringing Back Emma

First spotted by a Twitter user called Lewchube, the woman taking part in the battle has quite a few similarities to Emma, the biggest of which being her bangs. She seems to have had a haircut, but her bangs are almost identical to Emma's in Pokemon X & Y. It was also pointed out that she appears to be wearing the Expansion Suit under her jacket, which is the suit she wore in Pokemon X & Y to become Essentia.

It's also worth pointing out that even early Pokemon Legends: Z-A trailers have been teasing this potential return, as the first proper trailer for the game featured a shot of Looker's office. That's where Looker leaves Emma after the events of Pokemon X & Y's post-game end, so it stands to reason that she might play a part in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Unfortunately, we have no idea whether Looker himself will feature in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but that is a reunion that I would pay good money for. Please, make it happen Game Freak, I need some closure.
