Learn how you can ensure that you can play the latest game in the series, Pokemon Legends Z-A, on the newest Nintendo console.
Pokemon Legends Z-A will be available to players worldwide on October 16, 2025. Anyone interested in pre-ordering a copy of the game for the Nintendo Switch 2 can do so on the Nintendo e-Shop right now. The purchase options currently available on the Nintendo eShop are for the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2, and an Upgrade Pack. The Upgrade Pack is for those who buy the game on the Nintendo Switch and later want to upgrade to the Switch 2.
Why Should Players Pre-Order Pokemon Legends Z-A for the Nintendo Switch 2?
As the Nintendo Switch 2 is the latest console from the company, the game will run best on it. The game promises improved performance, better resolution, and a high frame rate. Fans have already seen proof of this with the re-release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on the Nintendo Switch 2. While the games were janky and lag-filled on the Switch, they run at a smooth 60 FPS on the Switch 2.
What Can Players Expect in the Upcoming Pokemon Legends Z-A?
The latest game will take place entirely in Lumiose City, the biggest city in the Kalos region. Players will have the option of choosing between three starters from previous games: Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile, as they embark on a brand-new adventure. During the day, players can encounter Pokemon roaming freely in designated Wild Zones, while at night, players will take part in the Z-A Royale, where they battle other trainers. As they climb the ranks from Z to A, reaching the top gives them a chance to have a wish granted.
This game will allow players to control both their own and their Pokemon’s movement in real-time combat. This is a first for the Pokemon RPG series, with trainers even deciding when Pokemon will unleash their moves. Also, the fan-favorite mechanic of Mega Evolution is making its return. There is also a chance that new Mega Evolutions for certain Pokemon will appear.
