Pokémon Legends: Za – Defend Lumiose City and Compete in the Royal Tournament
Pokémon Legends: Za, the latest installment in the beloved monster series from developer Game Freak, is set to launch on October 16 for all Nintendo Switch models. This release will coincide with a special Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, aimed at attracting players to Nintendo’s next-generation consoles. During a recent Pokémon Presents event, The Pokémon Company revealed that players will visit Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends: Za. Upon arrival, either Urbain or Taunei will recruit players into Team MZ, a group of teenagers dedicated to defending Lumiose. The specific recruiter depends on the player’s character appearance. By day, players will explore the city, catching Pokémon. By night, they can enter the Za Royal Tournament with their captured Pokémon. As they advance through the Tournament, players will encounter increasingly challenging trainers, including Corbeau of the Rust Syndicate, an antagonist to Team MZ.

Beyond these core activities, Pokémon Legends: Za offers additional gameplay elements. Players can customize characters and Pokémon, engage in social interactions with friends, assist Emma with problem-solving, and aid Mable’s research through Pokémon capture. The trailer also showcased Rogue Mega Evolutions: powerful creatures that cannot control their strength and pose a significant threat. Alongside Team MZ trainers, players will confront these special creatures and earn rewards.
