Exclusive: Pokemon Z Release Date Leaked!

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the next installment in the Pokémon Legends spin-off series, following Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Here’s what we know:

• Release Date: The game is scheduled for a late 2025 release, though no specific date has been announced yet. This timing aligns with the potential launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, suggesting a possible cross-generation release.
• Setting and Story: The game takes place in Lumiose City, located in the Kalos region from Pokémon X and Y. The storyline hints at an "Urban Redevelopment Plan," possibly set during a historical reconstruction period of Lumiose City. The game will feature Mega Evolutions, a mechanic from earlier Pokémon games.
• Starter Pokémon: Players will choose from Chikorita (Grass), Tepig (Fire), or Totodile (Water) as their starters.
• Platform: It is confirmed for the current Nintendo Switch and is expected to be compatible with the upcoming Switch 2 thanks to backward compatibility.
• Trailers: Two trailers have been released so far—one during Pokémon Day 2024 and another on Pokémon Day 2025—showcasing glimpses of gameplay, new mechanics, and the setting.

This title aims to expand on the experimental approach of Legends: Arceus, offering a fresh take on a familiar region.
