Pokémon Legends: Z-A feels like a mega-evolution for the entire series – a huge success that runs beautifully on the Switch 2 after the misguided disappointments of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Pokemon Legends Z-A-A-A is a game of epic proportions and is played on Switch 2.
Pokemon of the year 2013

Mega changes to the classic formula
The strength of the Pokémon Company is always ready.
The previous Legends game broke the mold by placing all of its battles in a seamless open world, but Pula then came up with a new system that gave more autonomy over Pokemon's actions.
In a first for the franchise, trainers no longer have to wait their turn to unleash a Thunderbolt or Hurricane from their Pikachu or Pidgeot.PLZA takes core Pokemon battles with a twist and adds real-time dynamics.
Power points start to determine how much a trainer can use a Pokémon's stage for. When they run out, you'll have to return those points or choose a new ability. Plaza organizes them at the header.Complete with a powerful cooldown timer to determine how you'll act.All the action takes place as your Trainer moves around the battlefield, without having to change players.
While there's no obvious dodge button or command, players can help their Pokémon like Ash Ketchum does in the TV show - by using an dodge move.Abilities like U-Turn and Volt Switch, which used to transform active Pokémon, now place them closer to the player, allowing them to avoid enemy attacks.
Freedom was holding hands with the contestants
This fluid combat offers a wild variety that was missing from previous Pokémon titles.But the novelty is connected to a familiar structure.
In PLZA, you'll have to climb the regional waves of ranked trainers (from Z to A, naturally) and conquer the Pokemon "royal" scene of Lumiose City, where the game is set.
One of my funniest moments in the game came when I was hiding behind trash and bushes in the battle zone (which is activated during the game's night cycle) to see unknown trainers and their Pokemon willingly pounce.Climbing the ranks is dirty work, but Plza makes every encounter totally worth it, especially when your Pokemon have unpredictable flamethrower attacks.to knock
Lumiose City offers plenty of space to explore, a solid collection of player-requested clothing items, and new objectives for those trying to complete their Pokédex or complete research tasks (yes, they return from Arceus and accelerate some of the end-game content in the best possible way).
A story worth telling
The game's characters are just as quirky and lovable as we've come to expect from the series.
Anticipatory friends, such as naven, which is Naven, whose soft personality will not be accepted on the Internet, is very confused, and sometimes self-deprecating.
Through PLZA, The Pokémon Company also appears to be making a subtle meta-commentary.Subplots involve overly attached "superfans", aggressive cultural appreciators, and trainers trapped in parasocial relationships they are unaware of.Moreover, dialogue does not drag on as it did in Arceus, which critics say slows down the game's speed.
Instead, Clza Channels talk a lot about pokemon swords and shields.Chapters and revelations and revelations.His height and style feel like a game in a pokemon game, which has moments of the cinematic that reach in a satisfying way.
After watching the credits roll, I can say, hands-down, that Pokemon Legend: Z-A is one of the best war games ever.Not content with just fleeing the new and returning Mga, it involves some real risk.Although it's better to experience it on the switch 2, rather than going through the versions that compromise with the signal, the game is not related to smooth - and completely.
