New Pokemon Legends: Z-A gameplay shows off how the RPG's trainer stealth attacks work, and they look so brutal that we're going to feel like we're part of Team Rocket

Being challenged to a trainer battle in Pokemon Legends ZA.

Pokemon Legends Z-A is finally updating the decades-old battle system, introducing real-time combat into the mainline games for the first time. It's also adding a very city-specific feature: the ability to sneak up on people and jump them while they're unaware of you lurking in the shadows. Now, we can finally see it in action.

Some footage which appears to be from the recent Gamescom demo of Pokemon Legends Z-A as all the in-game text is in German. We see the protagonist crouch-walking into an alleyway, zig-zagging between chest-high obstacles like signs and crates, sneaking up on an unsuspecting trainer and their Buneary.
