The new Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been getting mixed reactions from players (though we gave it a four-star in our Pokemon Legends: Z-A review), which happens sometimes. Some Pokemon Company launches are destined to be spat upon, stomped upon, and burned in a fire, like the 2019 release Pokemon Sword and Shield, which made fans so eye-wateringly angry, it might have permanently scarred its developers.
"They were very shell-shocked," says former Nintendo marketing lead Krysta Yang in a new video that also discusses how polarizing Z-A seems to be. But the so-called "Dexit" – as in, the political turmoil of Brexit, for people livid over Sword and Shield's missing National Dex – is like Z-A's controversy got stung by a bee and became so red, it blocked out the sun.
