Pokemon Legends: Z-A has proven to be one of Game Freak's more controversial titles as of late, though compared to the likes of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's post-launch reception, it's a flawless masterpiece. That being said, there have been a lot of gripes about the game on almost every front, ranging from its lack of voice acting, to its small map, to its removal of the Linking Cord, making it harder to get trade evolutions.
However, one of the biggest (and justified) criticisms of the game was how the game has locked the Mega Stones for the Kalos starters behind Ranked Battles. Understandably, not everyone is going to enjoy Pokemon battling online, especially with a new battle system that can be tricky to get to grips with. Despite this, Game Freak thought it would be a great idea to lock the Mega Stone for Greninja, Delphox, and Chesnaught behind multiple ranked battles, asking fans to grind to Rank K for the Greninjite.
Thankfully, it seems as though Game Freak has had a change of heart, as while you'll still need to interact with the game's online ranked system for these Mega Stones, they're being made much easier to obtain....
