The excitement surrounding the upcoming release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A may be tempered somewhat by the rumor that the game will not be designed specifically for the Switch 2. When Pokemon Legends: Z-A was first announced for a 2025 release, many assumed it would launch for Nintendo's new console slated to release the same year. However, new reports suggest Legends: Z-A may be released with the original Switch in mind, following a common pattern for the series.
