New Pokemon Game and the Maybe Switch 2 Launch
Usually, Pokemon releases a game or DLC every year since 2016's Pokemon Sun and Moon. But, with Pokemon Legends: Z-A dropping in 2025, it breaks the pattern. Disappointing for some fans, but the wait might be worth it. Why? It lines up with the rumored release of Nintendo's Switch 2 in March 2025. This could mean good things for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, making it better on the new console.
Rumors say the Switch 2 might launch in March 2025. Pokemon Legends: Z-A could come out around then or maybe during the holiday season. Pokemon says it's for "Nintendo Switch systems," hinting it might work on both the old and new Switch. Leaks suggest the Switch 2 will be a beast with cool NVIDIA tech, which is good news for Pokemon Legends: Z-A if it lands on the new console.
How Switch 2 Could Help Pokemon Legends: Z-A's Look and Play
Pokemon games got some flak for tech problems lately, like glitches and bad frame rates. Even the popular Pokemon Legends: Arceus got feedback for its graphics and frame rate. But, if Pokemon Legends: Z-A hits the Switch 2, it could fix these issues.
The worry is if Pokemon Legends: Z-A has to work on the old Switch, too. This might affect how good the game looks and plays on both consoles. But, waiting until 2025 shows Game Freak wants to make Pokemon Legends: Z-A better. So, no matter the console, they're taking their time to make sure the game runs smoothly and looks awesome.
