The Pokémon Company announced that the new game "Pokémon Legends: Z-A" will be released on the Nintendo Switch platform in 2025.
This news has sparked speculation about the possible upcoming release of a new Nintendo console. Although it has not been officially confirmed, the "simultaneous release" mentioned in the game trailer and the mention of multiple "Switch systems" in a tweet from the Pokémon Company have led many to believe that news of the new console has been leaked.
Meanwhile, the most recent Pokémon series game, "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet," was criticized for performance issues, but the trailer for "Pokémon Legends: Z-A" received a positive response, showing a scene of a computer-generated Pikachu running through a wireframe version of a city, along with silhouettes of other Pokémon frolicking in locations such as cafes, plazas, and rivers.
The trailer finally reveals that the game is set in Lumiose City and will include the popular feature of mega evolutions. Additionally, a new app version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game was announced, along with updates to Pokémon Go and other spin-offs.
