Pokemon Legends Z-Ais shaping up to be a pretty strong entry in the sprawlingPokemonfranchise.

Players and Nintendo wantPokemon Legends Z-Ato be just as good, if not better, than thegroundbreakingPokemon Legends Arceus.

Essentially, that word holds an immense amount of significance.

Pokemon Legends Arceuswas a more contemplative and melancholic experience, even despite its quirky characters.

Not only isZ-Anot remotely difficult, but it has also robbed itself of that change in tone.

Outside the underratedPokemon Conquest, players rarely get to travel to the series' past.

Of course,Z-Ahas revamped its combatsignificantly, which is a huge innovation for the franchise.

Otherwise, frankly, what is the point?

I can point to a number of things that makeArceusa “Legends” game.

Pokemon Legends Z-Aneeds toearn the Legends nameby doing something more than being just another Pokemon game.

It can’t just be that a legendary is at the heart of the story.
