The changes to gameplay make this the most fun entry in the series yet. Runs perfectly on Switch 2.

I very much enjoyed this game and every thing it had to offer. There are very little details to complain about, like the visual design of the map, while very well designed it doesn’t seem fleshed out enough for being conformed to a city. The combat in this game fits perfectly into what this game was aiming for and is very intertwined with the story. The story being good but not the best this series has to offer. Other than that there isn’t much to complain about

Pokémon Legends: Z-A completely blew me away. Lumiose City looks amazing on the Switch 2, and the gameplay feels smoother and more immersive than ever. The story is engaging, catching Pokémon is fun again, and everything just feels fresh while still nostalgic. Game Freak really nailed it with this one — easily the best Pokémon experience so far.

Always good to see a new pokemon game from the franchise. This one added some really neat new features which i think will be much better after being fine tuned. The game could have had more land to explore instead of just the city, but it was decent. Delivery was quick once it released

I've played pretty much every Pokemon game available on the switch - and ZA is quickly become my favorite. The game play is vastly different than previous games, no longer being turn based and you can actually move in battle to try and dodge attacks. I can't wait to see what the DCL brings!

Played pokemon for a long time but haven't played a ton of the newer games for long. When I picked up this game I very much enjoyed the changes to the battle system to be real-time instead of turn based.
I'm also very happy that mega evolution made a comeback with old and new evolutions

Honestly an awesome game. The internet goes crazy because the buildings arent masterfully modeled, but the soul of the rest of the game makes up for it. Fun characters, enjoyable new gameplay, great character customization. It has the whole lot. Obviously price is a little steep, especially with a $30 dlc on the way.

Definitely worth playing if you’re a Pokemon fan. I was skeptical of the setting, but have enjoyed it thus far. The battle system is unique for Pokemon and a nice change of pace. Also, the menus, maps and side quests are easier to navigate.

Everyone dislikes it but, frankly it’s not a horrible first timer Pokémon game. Surely doesn’t compare to anything like heartgold but still a fun game.

Despite the games cut corners on polish and optimization, it exeeds in improving the core gameplay enough for me to look past its flaws, with it being the most fun I've had with pokemon in years.

Pokémon Legends: ZA is everything I hoped it would be and more. The world feels alive, the pacing is smooth, and the sense of adventure is stronger than ever. Exploring the city feels rewarding, with tons of discoveries tucked into every corner.
One of my favorite parts? My Alpha Tyrantrum can finally follow me around. Seeing that massive prehistoric puppy stomping proudly behind me as I explore never gets old. It adds so much personality to the journey and makes every moment feel even more immersive.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or jumping into the Legends style for the first time, this game absolutely delivers. Highly recommended!

Really like the fresh take on a familiar series. The story ties together several past entries. Combat takes some getting used to at first, but turn-based veterans should have no problems.
