I know it hasn't been long since the Pokémon Presents, but the update on information was honestly so exciting for me I just had to keep going. So, here are further thoughts on the upcoming Pokémon Legends Z-A.
I'm mainly going to be addressing details I didn't before, though I will expand upon ones I have when relevant. For the sake of argument, I will lead with the new active battle system. This is one of the aspects that intrigues me the most, as it both builds on what was done in Legends Arceus and takes influence from other titles in the space. I'm especially noticing the influence of the SMT/Persona games, which I am pleased to see.
Though I will have to think about which starter I will choose, it's been confirmed that over 126 monsters from previous games will be returning to the game. I still maintain that I am eager to see how the "Wild Zones" and traversal apply to the city.
While story details remain scarce at this stage, something tells me Quasartico might have more going on with the "redevelopment program" for Lumiose City than they're letting on. It will be interesting to see how Jett and Vinnie fare as antagonists if that's what ends up happening.
As for how the game relates to the upcoming Switch 2, I imagine it should work fine as it was announced to be for the "Switch family." Plus, the developers have a long history of making the most out of existing hardware before moving onto the next console. I personally don't plan on doing a full upgrade to a Switch 2 till Generation X releases, whenever that will be.
I will be following the development of this game and bring you any new information as it becomes available. Though there is currently no release date beyond later this year, I do intend to place my preorder from the Pokémon Center website once I have a concrete release date (as it will likely be after moving). That is all for now, take care.
