Pokémon Legends: Z-A Review – An Overzealous Evolution

Out of all Pokémon games, it’s undoubtedly generation six that I’ve spent the most time with. Generation six isn't my favorite, but Pokémon X and Y captured the mythology and world of Pokémon in a way that I hadn’t felt since Pokémon Pearl.

More than 10 years after X and Y’s original release, Game Freak has headed back to the Kalos Region in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Narratively, this game is a sequel to generation six in all but name, with certain characters, locations, and groups making their return in tandem with Mega Evolution’s long-awaited reprisal.
