Review: Pokemon Legends: Z-A' is a refreshing Yakuza'-inspired take on the franchise
"In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio poked fun of Pokemon, creating a spoof of the iconic scene in which Professor Oak asked the hero to choose a starting pocket monster before venturing out in the world. This Sujimon minigame nudged players to find all the different enemy types in the world and beat them all. With its latest entry in the series, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Game Freak seems to be returning the favor."
"When exiting the train, the customizable character ends up roped in a fiasco, where players display they have a talent for battling Pokemon. Taunie, the leader of Team MZ, notices that ability and invites Paxton to stay at Hotel Z, which is run by AZ, the 3,000-year-old king from ancient Kalos, and his remarkable Pokemon, a Floette. Players end up joining Taunie's crew, which includes Lida and Naveen as they try to move up the ranks of citywide competition called the Royale Z-A."
Pokemon Legends: Z-A radically departs from previous mainline entries by relocating action five years after Pokemon X and Y to a partly reconstructed Lumiose City. Players control Paxton or Harmony, customizable heroes who get caught in a battles-related fiasco upon exiting a train and are recruited by Taunie of Team MZ to stay at Hotel Z, run by ancient king AZ and his Floette. The narrative centers on the Royale Z-A citywide competition run by Quasartico corporation, which secretly seeks powerful trainers to confront Rogue Mega Evolutions. Players investigate the phenomenon, calm afflicted Pokémon, and advance through the competition with allies Lida and Naveen.
