Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Also know as: Pokémon Legends Z-A
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a bold reimagining of the Pokémon universe, set entirely within Lumiose City in the Kalos region, which is undergoing a futuristic transformation to better integrate Pokémon and human life. Departing from traditional gameplay, it introduces real-time battles where trainers actively command their Pokémon in dynamic environments, adding layers of strategy through movement, timing, and attack range. Players begin their journey with one of three classic starters—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—and explore a narrative centred on coexistence and urban renewal. A major highlight is the return of Mega Evolutions, including new forms for iconic Pokémon like Zygarde and Starmie, enhancing both combat and lore. The game also features the Z-A Royale, a competitive nightly event that challenges players to rise through ranks and earn exclusive rewards. Released globally on October 16, 2025, for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A blends nostalgia with innovation, offering a fresh, immersive experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
