Pokemon Legends ZA has just been shown off during today’s Pokemon Present stream, and in a short gameplay presentation we caught a glimpse of a more action-packed battling system coming to the series. That, and a Luminous City in the midst of modernisation. Say goodbye to cheap rent, folks.
The gameplay video gave us a look at the basics, including what starter Pokemon we’ll be able to pick, a few characters we’ll meet, and the updated Luminous City setting. But what is likely the most eyebrow raising thing we saw has got to be the battling system, which retains the core strategy aspects of Pokemon battling but with the addition of action-style spacing in an arena-esque space. Very interesting, and sure to be a controversial choice. You can watch the trailer below!
Now, we’ve known about Legends ZA for a while. Back in 2024 the game was announced by the Pokemon Company and scheduled for a vague 2025 release date. There’s no word as of today whether or not it’ll make an appearance on the mysterious Nintendo Switch 2, but one can hope.
