It's Pokémon Day! Exactly today 29 years ago the red and green edition (should later appear in Europe as a blue edition) went over the counter. Always celebrate a reason for Nintendo and the Pokémon Company and share some information. So of course this year.
In addition to a new season of the Pokémon Concierge series, fans should be particularly happy about the new pictures for the upcoming Pókemon legends: ZA.
There was more to see from Illumina City, the city where you will spend the whole game. With the portal it even goes to the roofs of the houses and here you can even fight - between the tin roof and fireplace.
It is exciting that your Pokémon no longer stands around like the oil idols and wait for them to become hyper-beam T, but there seems to be an active alternative function. This could become a very interesting expansion of the previous combat system, but it also looks much more stressful than the more cozy clashes so far.
Wild Pokémon is probably only available in Illumina City in certain areas. The Wild Zones are a kind of reserve in which monsters can develop freely without a trainer. At least until you put them in a Pokéball.
We also know the starters now. In addition to Endivie and Karnimani, you also have the Feuerkelk Floink to choose from. The mix is actually quite strange. Endivie and Karnimani were both among the second generation starters, Floink only appeared to the fifth generation much later. So it seems as if Floink just replaces fiery. Then the trio from Gen 2 would be complete again. What did the Pokémon Company's poor fierigel do?
So a lot is expanded and changed in the well-known Pokémon formula. Unfortunately, one thing remains the same again. Graphically, the pictures are not really appealing. The current games Karmesin and Purpur still have to struggle with unsightly edges, blurred textures and little FPS and ZA does not look better.
Apparently Nintendo or the Pokémon Company has already graphically got everything out of the old switch, which is possible. Fortunately, the release of the Switch 2 is already foreseeable. Pokémon legends: ZA will be released at some point at the end of 2025. However, the Pokémon Day was guilty.
