Unreleased Pokemon Z Dev Build Surfaces With Early Footage

Footage has surfaced of an unreleased Pokemon Z development build for the 3DS, showing an early VERSION_Z branch, a unique title screen, and new Mega forms (including Mega Charmander) from a development window in April–May 2013. The leak confirms Pokemon Z existed and ties to 2024 leaks about Game Freak’s plans, with the concept later resurfacing in Pokemon Legends: Z-A on Switch 2.
