Pokémon Legends: Z-A feels like a Mega-Evolution for the series, one that changes its type but doesn’t negate its prior weaknesses.

After a couple of preview sessions with Pokémon Legends: Z-A, I was cautiously optimistic about Game Freak’s new Legends game. I thought Pokémon Legends: Arceus was the refresh this series needed and while Pokémon Scarlet & Violet weren’t perfect, I was glad to see some of the additions from Arceus make their way into the game.

With that in mind, I went into Pokémon Legends: Z-A hoping that it’d be yet another chance to innovate, experiment, and generally push the boat out a bit.

I’m happy to say it does that. The changes Legends: Z-A makes to the series’ formula are solid despite a few teething issues here and there.
