Pokémon Legends: Z-A, an ambitious new entry to the Pokémon video game series, will launch on Nintendo Switch systems in 2025!

A new adventure awaits within Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is under way to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon.

I look forward to playing this on the Super Nintendo Switch lol

Super nintendo switch?

I’ve never been so excited for a game to NOT be this year. Please give them more time on this one than usual Nintendo/Gamefreak. They were smart not to show an early version of the game this time.

Arceus was fantastic so I’m very excited for this.

Nintendo's told developers that the Switch successor is coming in 2025. If this is also a 2025 game, then it's most likely launching on the new console or will at least get some sort of enhancement on there.

I've yet to beat Arceus, I played until the first boss

Interested to see what the gimmick will be in this one. We gonna be redesigning the city changing things up as we progress.

Going to be interesting to see how they expand the city given it’s entirely set within lumiose city itself.

Going to assume it will have different self contained biome type areas. I didn’t play S&V, but didn’t the DLC do something similar?

Haven’t played the DLC myself but that’s what I’ve read too.

I absolutely loved PLA, but I feel like these legend games need be fresh ideas each time.

I read a fan idea recently that’s said the next legends game should be based around Celebi and involve time travel aspect so that what you did in the past affected present day. Something like that would be cool.

Arceus is definitely the best game they have ever put out in my mind.

I like the idea of them not being copy/paste of “a long time ago in a region”.

Take the core battle and capture mechanics of Arceus and just use that to build unique adventures around a fun idea in each region.

Joking aside they should use that name.

Me too.

I’d love it to be shortened to SNESWITCH

[Mavrick]

Also love that this is most likely the world map. Feel like it’s going to be Pokemon x Yakuza city depth wise

I don't expect them to ever abandon the childlike visuals.
