Initially examining “Pokémon Legends: Z-A”, we’ve received additional details about this game since it was announced a year ago. As mentioned earlier, it is the sequel to last year’s hit game “Pokémon Legends: Arceus” (PLA), offering another journey in Lumiose City, the heart of the Kalos region. Similar to PLA, the wild zones provide an opportunity to catch ’em all with fresh mechanics being incorporated that more closely resemble the core series games. In this game’s narrative, players will reside at Hotel Z, run by a familiar character – AZ and his partner Pokémon Floette from “Pokémon X” and “Y”. The starter Pokémon options include Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile, with speculation that they’ll receive their own Mega Evolutions as the popular battle mechanic makes a comeback in this installment. Other highlighted Pokémon include several forms of Eevee, Aegislash and Zygarde, along with Megas such as Mega Charizard X and Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega Gardevoir. The game is now confirmed to release towards the end of 2025 on the Nintendo Switch, possibly around November based on past launches.

In this new campaign, instead of Seoul’s well-known attractions, we find ourselves in Milan. The storyline takes a different turn as the connection to South Korea is subtly highlighted through an amalgamation of styles from both cities, set against a timeless black-and-white editorial setting.

John Richmond’s latest collection, presented at Tate Modern Tanks last weekend, is renowned for its punk rock style. It proudly embraced his trademark ’80s forms and outlines, taking iconic elements such as frills, leather, and tailored suits – previously seen on Mick Jagger and George Michael – to new heights on the British catwalk. This was achieved through wider flares, broader shoulders, as well as ornamental pins and embroidered text, enhancing the original designs.

Crocs has upgraded its Classic Clog line by introducing the “Velvet Collection”. Elevating comfort even further, the classic design gets a plush velvet makeover in two colors – maroon and black.

The shoes still rest on a slip-resistant outsole. Look out for these plush clogs hitting stores this spring or summer.
