Pokémon Legends: Z-A Could Be The Best New Pokémon In Years | New Gameplay Today

Earlier this month, I traveled to Cologne, Germany, to cover Gamescom 2025 for Game Informer, and one of my various appointments was for a lil ole game called Pokémon Legends: Z-A – ever heard of it? Of course you have, because you totally definitely read my preview where I said it could be the best Pokémon game in years... right? Right?
