Pokemon Legends: Z-A's upcoming DLC expansion allows Pokemon to officially breach the level 100 limit for the first time in series history, and one World Champion is concerned. Glick notes that in the new trailer for the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension expansion "they show off not just one, but a ton of Pokemon that are well above level 100." Glick adds that the implications of this are unknown, but are possibly "pretty big," explaining "the entire game is balanced around capping you out at level 100, if you can go beyond that, there's no telling how difficult the game can get." MissingNo walked so Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimensions could run, as the new DLC lets you officially go beyond the Level 100 limit for the first time in the series' 29-year history Pokemon Legends: Z-A's DLC expansion Mega Dimension launches next month, adding new Mega Evolutions, more returning Pokemon, and a familiar face from X and Y Nintendo announces Pokemon Legends Z-A DLC before the game's even out: Mega Dimension expansion adds "spatial distortions" and makes Raichu the third Pokemon to ever get two Mega Evolutions Glick ponders on the potential new level limit, asking "what if there's no level limit?" Which, as one commenter puts it, is "finally an explanation for Ash’s Pikachu." The VGC champion adds that the most pressing question is whether this is a permanent change to the games going forward. Personally, I reckon this extended level cap is purely for the expansion's new "Hyperspace" area and that it will jump back down for regular play. I can't imagine The Pokemon Company throwing such a massive change into a DLC, especially when the franchise has such a massive competitive scene built around the level 100 Pokemon limit. Glick says his guess that it is just for the Hyperspace areas too, but adds "I don't know," and that we have "no precedent to go off of."
