Pokemon Legends Z-A

The latest Pokémon Presents brought new information and gameplay for Game Freak’s Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, we get to see how the player arrives in Lumiose City and teams up with Team MZ. Check it out below.

Urbaine or Taunie will invite you to the team, which is focused on protecting the city and includes members like fashion designer-in-the-making Naveen and aspiring professional dancer Lida. As previously revealed, you can explore by day to capture Pokémon or partake in the Z-A Royale at night, battling trainers and climbing the ranks.

You’ll have to contend with more challenges at higher ranks, including Rust Syndicate boss Corbeau, who has some business with Team MZ. Aside from capturing Pokémon during the day, you can hang out with them, take photos, customize your character with different hairstyles and outfits, or engage in some detective work with Emma.

Of course, catching Pokémon has other benefits beyond completing the Pokedex. Mable, acting director of the Pokémon Research Lab, will grant items as you capture more Pokémon and assist in her research.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A launches on October 16th for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out our feature for more details.
