Finally, we got a good, long (ISH) look at Pokémon Legends: Za, the second entry in the Pokemon Legends series and the main edition of Pokemon Freak Freak for a year (after surprising omission 2024). In a completely recent trailer, we first looked at how it would be free to run along the roofs of Lumiose City, to which Pokémon will join us when we do it, and some changes in mega evolution and battle mechanics.
This time players can choose between Totodile, Tepig and Chikorita to be their starting monster when they explore Lumiose City with improved visualizations and several vast gameplay corrections. In particular, the recent mechanics will allow players to jump on the roofs of the city and see life in the world of Pokémon from a recent perspective. The game of the latest legends also reveals that we will return to a more customary visual style, which the series has also established in the last few years.
Today’s Pokémon Day 2025 Pokémon Presents Showcase gave fans a trailer of the game to watch over and over when we are waiting for this inevitable release date, but it was also equipped with a more specific division of the game. Like The Pokémon Legends: Arceus Title, which follows, Pokémon Legends: He shakes the combat formula with a more vigorous approach to battles. Materials for fighting show that players will be able to weaken monsters and catch them in wild zones littered throughout the city.
This would not be in Pokémon Legends for the first time: for without vibration to some mega evolution and the way they were brought to this refreshing legends game. In particular, today’s video shows the game for creatures such as Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Absol and Mega Charizard X, as well as the “new level of power”, each of them brings a table.
Although Pokémon Legends: For the division of the game, he does not tell us exactly how Nintendo Switch works on the roof at the end of 2025, introduces us to some faces that we will meet in our journey. New friends contain the option of meeting Urbain or Tauna, a potential rival, and players can also expect that they will meet Quasartico CEO Jett and her secretary Vinnie. We also saw the return of the highest amiable face in Lumiose, AZ and his partner Pokémon, Floette, who run hotel players.
Pokémon Legends: For the first time for the first time, Pokemon Presents were announced last year and it was serene since then. At that time, we saw everything we saw a kinematic trailer revealing that it would be completely positioned in Lumiose City from Pokémon X and Y, and that he would come to Nintendo Switch in 2025. We also saw the irritation of several Pokémon, a futuristic environment and a symbol of Mega evolution.
In addition, over the past year, fans have combined guessing about what can draw for the game based on this trailer and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, who introduced a recent mechanics of intercepting Pokémon to the franchise and the format of the open zone, which cooperated well with players, even if some elements of the game seemed quick and incomplete, especially in the back. Without the game Pokémon was not released last year, it seems that Game Freak could have an additional year to really give legends for Poland, whose Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet simply did not receive. Let’s hope it pays off.
In the case of everything that has been revealed today, you can see how our Pokémon presents February 2025.
