Nintendo’s latest Pokemon Legends: Z-A feels designed to help people understand all of the different kinds of gameplay elements in the newest entry and tease the Switch 2 updates. This means seeing major characters who we’ll build bonds with and enemies we’ll fight. At the end, it also offers a reminder that there are Switch and Switch 2 versions and a $9.99 upgrade pack available to access the Switch 2 improved FPS, resolution, and performance later.
The video starts by showing Lumiose City as a whole, highlighting that it is designed to be a place for humans and Pokemon to live together in harmony. This means that Wild Zones are in the city to mimic different types of biomes. However, things aren’t as peaceful as expected. There are rogue Mega Evolved characters roaming around, and part of our mission involves finding out why as part of Team MZ and with the aid of hotel owner AZ. Along the way, we can also battle and capture Wild Zone Pokemon for fun and compete against other trainers, as well fight online in Link Battles.
As for seeing the difference between the two versions, that comes up at about the 5:45 mark of this new trailer. That focuses specifically on the Switch 2 release of the JRPG. It shows how performance differs.
Here’s the full Pokemon Legends: Z-A trailer looking at Switch and Switch 2 gameplay.
As a reminder, there will be paid DLC for the game. Nintendo already confirmed Mega Dimensions for it.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A will come to the Switch and Switch 2 on October 16, 2-25.
