Even if you never played Pokemon Before the game, you might know how the type of chart works. The types of fire are weak for the types of water, the water is weaker than the grass, and the grass is weaker than the fire. Type is the base of the match ups Pokemon Before you go into the weeds of war, statistics and wires. I had Pokemon The type chart has been memorized for about 25 years.
He still didn’t stop me from making a mistake Pokémon Legends: Za. I paniced and sent my grass against the NPC’s Pajoto, which makes it very weak. This is a shot, obviously.
It’s not like I Forgotten How did the kind of matchups work. But the system of war Legends: Za With the least, I have a lot of different, very different from that Pokemon. This is the second entry in Legends Spin of Series, which started with 2022 Pokémon Legends: RCSAnd while Legends Games are still RPGs like Main Pokemon Game, they get a bit of a mechanical and structurally ordinary Pokemon Formula. And ZA It takes more than that Arsius What: This is the first Pokemon Offer real -time battles instead of RPG -based individuals.

In the main series, you choose your actions, and take time to think about the options – the right attack to use, whether changing for another Pokémon, what is planning to be planned – before locking something and seeing how it plays it. I Legends: ZaOn the other hand, you are facing more directly to your opponent. There is no wait for the two opponents to be closed in their actions. You choose your Pokémon’s move using just one facial buttons, and this move ends.
This is a big departure for about 30 years Pokemon Game. I am accustomed to thinking about it Pokemon Like a chess match, slowly and several steps ahead. I ZAI had to think about the same kind of match ups and statistics and everything, but quickly and on my feet. It took me some time to adjust.
The demo, which I played before the 2025 Pokémon World Championship in the California city of Anima, was divided into two parts that lasted 10 minutes each, apparently apparently focusing on the initial and new war systems. In the first section, I tested my hand in ZA Royal, which at night confronted me to fight the NPC trainers around Loms City. In the other, I fought with a bully mega alls, which felt like Pokemon Version of the classic 3D Zelda Boss. In the second part of the demo, I began to hang out this style of fighting, and what was a bit heavy before before became a passionate kind of challenge: its restoration Pokemon A part of my mind.
The first major change I had to compete with: Since the war ZA In real time, the tricks are on the Coldown Timer. You just can’t spam the most effective move you have. You have to know what you can do when you wait for the attack to be reused. Even against the extremely lower -level opponents, I found myself relying on the tricks like Grolol, which reduces the state of the anti -Pokémon invasion, as my other tricks were on Coldown as a buffer. It had the extra bonus to allow my Pokémon to get more successes, I had to buy some time to think and think.
The use of such status when playing the cover is not uncommon Pokemon Play at a high level, but it is Lot Extraordinary against a run -off mill bull sprout at the beginning of the game. I didn’t have enough time in the demo that they really play with it, but I could carefully choose myself to choose every step in Pokémon to calculate Coldown, as I have protected my Pokémon more and more to prevent incoming attacks. In the other Pokemon In sports, if I am creating a competitive team, I teach my Pokémon’s safety, but I will never do just to play the main story.

It is not to fight Legends: Za Are unforgivable. – Pokemon Similarly, to work at least a little bit on auto -pilot and muscle memory in the early game, it’s an interesting challenge to see Pokemon Differently
The war against the disease mega-ul-Islam is a wild, anxious that can be produced by the mega-so was similar to the NPC battles, but more handy. Unlike the battles against other trainers, Wild Pokemon can harm both your Pokémon and your role, so you have to walk in the field by choosing Pokémon tricks, keeping an eye on everyone’s health, and choosing your Pokémon tricks. –
This balance is even more more, but I have not found it heavy. In this case, I had a Losario, and had a very effective move, while also resisting the attacks of Alice, which helped. Losario already knew of safety, so I had to take advantage of the strategy now developed in ZA Royal. And this is usually a familiar manner of the boss war in sports, even if it is different Pokemon. It was more involved than the trainer’s battles and felt more dangerous, but I felt relatively quickly quickly (especially compared to the Pijoto incident).
It may be just a common learning curved letter, and I’ll develop a latest type of auto pilot for very quickly easy parts ZA. But I really liked to think actively about it Pokemon In a way that I usually save for competitive games. I hope the game can maintain longer than the demo, and that I will build it Pokemon I have been collecting knowledge for years, rather than making it passively flexible.
Pokémon Legends: Za On October 16, the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 will be released.
