Man, I'll tell you it's worth it, you know? Pokémon Legends Z-A is incredible and, above all, it's different. It's not your typical main Pokémon game. When you start playing, you realize you spend a good portion of your time inside a city, Lumiose City, the same one from Pokémon X and Y. #pokemon #legendsza #rkplay #nintendoswitch2 The game has two very distinct phases: daytime, where you can complete short quests, collect items, and battle some trainers, and competitive mode, which is the real focus of the game. Here, the goal is to climb the ranks in Z Royale, going from the lowest level to the coveted Rank A. Perhaps this system explains the game's name, but the most interesting thing is how it brings back Mega Evolution, a feature many fans have missed since Pokémon X and Y. You can tell this game is trying to revive this mechanic and explore something new within it. Another point that caught my attention is that the game features real-time battles. They're not frenetic, but rather a mix of strategy and reflexes, making it quite different from anything we've seen in the franchise before. Even so, it feels like Pokémon Legends Z-A is almost a giant beta test: the story is quite simple, the gameplay is interesting, but it still feels like an experiment in what the future of Pokémon could hold. I'm playing on the Nintendo Switch 2, but this is the Switch 1 version, and honestly, I didn't even feel the need to upgrade. The game runs well, feels like it's from a previous generation, but delivers a solid experience. All in all, Pokémon Legends Z-A is a good game, even if it's not the best in the franchise. It's an important step in showing the direction the Pokémon Company wants to take, and that alone is worth the experience. Conclusion: If you're a fan and want to see something new in the Pokémon universe, give Pokémon Legends Z-A a chance. It may not be perfect, but it's certainly a breath of fresh air in the formula we've known for years.
