The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have revealed Pokemon Legends: Z-A, a new action-RPG launching globally on Nintendo Switch in late 2025. The game revisits the Kalos region, centering on Lumiose City’s ambitious redevelopment into a utopia where humans and Pokémon coexist.

A New Adventure in Lumiose City
Players explore a futuristic overhaul of Lumiose City, home to the iconic Prism Tower. Upon arrival, trainers choose a starter Pokémon—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—and ally with either Urbane or Tawny. Key characters include the mysterious hotelier AZ, Quizartico Inc.’s CEO Jet, and her secretary Vinny, each adding depth to the city’s evolving narrative.

Key Features

• Wild Zones: Scattered across Lumiose, these areas let players capture wild Pokémon using real-time aiming or strategic weakening via battles.

• Tactical Combat: Battles emphasize positioning and timing, with moves varying in range and area-of-effect. Dodge attacks, swap Pokémon mid-fight, and strike decisively.

• Mega Evolution: Syncing a trainer’s Keystone with a Pokémon’s Mega Stone unlocks powerful transformations, altering battle dynamics.
