Nintendo May Have Just Leaked Pokemon Legends: Z-A Online Mode

by

Z-A had its final possible exhibition. Since the game is set to launch in just about three and a half months, Nintendo might focus on promoting what has already been disclosed until the release date.

While it’s not guaranteed that more details won’t emerge, a recent leak has surfaced about the forthcoming game within the Legends subseries, hinting at a significant and unparalleled event in the history of games under this subseries.

Leak Indicates Pokemon Legends: Z-A Will Have Online

As an enthusiastic fan, it seems I stumbled upon some intriguing news. Centro Leaks hint that Nintendo may have inadvertently disclosed details about the upcoming title Pokemon Legends: Z-A that were supposed to remain secret. The game’s information page apparently mentioned a “Link Play” menu, which was not featured in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Could this be an exciting new feature for Z-A? Only time will tell!

It appears Nintendo might be introducing an online feature in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, as it seems to include a “Link Play” menu which was absent in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

This passage can be rephrased as follows: The game, Legends: Arceus, includes a feature called Mystery Gift, which was also present in the original version. However, it’s important to note that this option may appear in a new menu location, since such a menu didn’t exist in the first release of Z-A. This change could prove to be quite significant.

It’s uncertain at this point what specific feature this will add to the game, but it seems that Pokemon Legends: Arceus lacked something similar to this. The details shared on the Centro Leaks page did not reveal the purpose of the Link Play menu beyond being a hub for the Mystery Gift function.

It’s uncertain what exactly The Pokemon Company plans to reveal on October 16th, as speculation may continue until then. However, it’s been rumored that the upcoming release might introduce multiplayer online battling, a feature absent from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This is just speculation at this point and hasn’t been officially confirmed.

As I delved into the unique battling experience offered by this game unlike any other I’ve played before, it struck me that multiplayer combat might not be far off. It seems like Legends: Arceus served as a trial run for The Pokemon Company, introducing innovative features that have since found their way into other games and will likely persist as they shape the future of Pokemon gaming.

In essence, they may have found a flaw in the game that will be addressed with its upcoming sequel. The open-world element was significantly highlighted in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it appears that the new catching mechanism is set to reappear in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Without a doubt, there are likely more changes to come in this edition, as suggested by what Pokemon Arceus did or didn’t include.

It’s worth noting that a mention of the Link Play menu appears in the description of an upcoming release, but we don’t yet know what features it might contain. Despite our best guesses, its contents remain unclear. So, gamers will need to be patient until mid-October for the full details to become clear.

The newest Pokémon game is titled “Legends: Z-A,” but it doesn’t fall under the main series. This isn’t Generation 10, as that’s still unannounced. Unlike a remake, this game offers a fresh perspective similar to “Legends: Arceus.” Interestingly, it will be based in Lumiose City, which was the setting for “Pokémon X and Y.
