Pokémon has needed a change of pace. Since its debut in 1993, the mainline games have relied on the same battling formula of turn-based action, and that’s all about to change in Pokémon Legends Z-A.
I played about an hour of gameplay at an event held in NYC and am almost at a loss for words. Pokémon Legends Z-A not only flips the brand-name battling on its head but reinvigorates the way you play. It feels almost like an entirely new game, yet still remains totally familiar.
