I adore turn-based RPGs. From the classic Pokemon games we've all known and loved over the years to the likes of Octopath Traveler, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Persona 5: Royal, I've never tired of the format. However, after 20 minutes of playing Pokemon Legends: Z-A, I'm convinced that real-time action could be the way forward for the series.
Back in 2013, I spent over 300 hours exploring everything that Pokemon X and Y had to offer. Almost 12 full years later, as I run around the streets of the Kalos region's Lumiose City, with its iconic Eiffel Tower-esque Gym shining in the background on Nintendo Switch 2, it feels like coming home.
