The latest Pokémon game brings significant changes, but plays out similarly to its predecessors.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been on the market for five months, with Pokémon being one of the biggest games.
Z-A introduces real-time combat, a significant shakeup to the core gameplay, but it doesn't revitalize the game as expected.
The hard battles still present similar moments of tension, and since you’re still using the same attacks, battles mostly play out the same as they would in a turn-based game.
It's a refreshing change, but some trainers may find it just as engaging as other Pokémon games.
The game world is another major aspect that has been revamped.
