AmLast week the Pokémon Company delivered some updates to coming games of the popular franchise. Including to the next branch of the legend series, over which so far was mostly silent.
Accordingly, appears at the end of 2025 and brings in addition to the popular mega developments from the sixth generation, brand new fights.
Legends: ZA works on the classic combat system
As beforeBring ZA changed battles. According to the newly released trailer, this does not mean the return of strength or speed technology, but ratherbrand new elements.
As before in Arceus, you move your character freely over the combat area together with Pokémon. This time this also seems to have significantly more impact on the fighting.
Area attacks and attacks with range
According to the recently shown trailer, the range and area of your Pokémon attacks are more important than ever before. Since you actively move through the field, you have to avoid the opposing attacks and find the ideal position to strike back.
For example, the flame throwing of a pyroleos is a straight fire beam forward, which you can dodge with one step to the side. On the other hand, if you wait for a waltz from Floink, it is open to an attack afterwards.
The use of camouflage stones looks particularly interesting for us, which makes the area around your Pokémon dangerous. This attack thus works differently than in the main series and opens up the potential for creative applications.

Fights in real time
As is also noticeable in the trailer, the Pokémon attack menu is always open during the fight. Your Pokémon are now no longer even a round,Instead, trainers and Pokémon act in real time.
So now you have to pay attention to your timing to change Pokémon at the right moment or to correctly estimate the charging time and the effects of attacks. That should loosen up the well -known formula of Pokémon. It remains to be seen whether this means that you can no longer enjoy breaks between the individual attacks.
In the meantime you can look at the fresh trailer for Pokémon legends: ZA with other game mechanics:
Comeback of mega developments
Although it suggested all the time through the location in Illumina City, we were now officially able to see that the popular mega developments from the sixth generation will return.
This means that with the right item of one of your Pokémon during the fight can temporarily develop mega and get a new exterior as well as another ability, status values or type distribution.
In the future, it will be shown whether the MEGA development will have any further effects on real-time fights.
How do you feel about the new combat system? Are you looking forward to it or would you prefer to stay with the classic, round -based fights?
