Everything you need to know about Pokemon Legends Z-A’s multiplayer modes, and whether it supports GameShare or not.
GameShare is easily the best new feature that Nintendo has added to the Switch family of consoles. It essentially allows players to “lend” games from their digital library to friends, much like how you would share physical versions of said games. That said, there are quite a few limitations to this feature, which is understandable considering digital game sharing is much more complicated than simply lending a physical copy.
With Pokemon Legends Z-A being finally out in the wild, many players might be wondering whether the game supports GameShare or not. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Pokemon Legends Z-A as a multiplayer game, it doesn’t support GameShare. That said, the game does have cross-generation multiplayer support.
Here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon Legends Z-A and GameShare on Nintendo consoles.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Multiplayer Modes, Explained
The biggest reason why Pokemon Legends Z-A, or any Pokemon game for that matter, doesn’t support GameShare is because of its multiplayer features. Every (mainline) Pokemon game ships with PvE and PvP modes. While GameShare does allow other players to join your session in co-op games, it doesn’t work for titles with PvP modes.
This is also the reason why Nintendo limits Mystery Gift codes to the console instead of individual accounts. That said, if you own a physical version of Legends Z-A, you can lend it to a friend; there are no limitations to that. That said, GameShare is still a great feature for players to try out, especially for party or co-op games.
