The Pokémon Company unexpectedly released new news about its latest game, Pokémon Legends Z-A, and the highly anticipated "ZA Ascendancy" format has surfaced. The game is set in the metropolis that once appeared in Pokémon X/Y, the city of Miare. The city is full of harmonious coexistence between people and Pokémon, and the company is actively promoting the redevelopment of the city here.
The city of Miareh is divided into several wild special districts that provide an ideal habitat for wild Pokémon. Here, players can catch a variety of Pokémon, but they also need to be cautious, as they may be in danger if attacked. Each Pokémon has different habitats, some of which can only be found on the rooftops of tall buildings in cities. As night falls, the atmosphere in the city changes dramatically, and advanced trainers are invited to participate in the "ZA Summit" tournament that takes place every night.
The rules of ZA Ascend are extremely challenging. In the Battle Zone, once a lurking opponent is discovered, a Pokémon Battle will be started immediately. Players can choose to attack first before they are discovered, and the key to winning or losing the battle is to command the Pokémon to use the most effective moves at the right time. Some Pokémon can improve their strength through super evolution, and all trainers start at Z rank and aim for A rank. Trainers who successfully reach the A-level will be given the opportunity to make their wishes come true.
At night, in the city of Miare, with the help of the latest technology, dazzling red holographic projections will present the battle zone one by one, attracting countless trainers to come to challenge. From sunset to dawn, trainers here compete for the glory of battle, and every battle is in full swing. Practice and strength go hand in hand, and only approved trainers will be allowed to enter for a series of intense battles.
By winning battles, trainers continue to advance and earn higher titles and honors. In order to train Pokémon, players must often make strategic layouts. Every time a step is missed, due to the change in atmosphere, trainers and Pokémon may face unexpected events.
In order to level up in the ZA Ascend Battle, players need to challenge and win the upgrade battle. The protagonist will compete 1-on-0 against other trainers. Challenge Upgrades require you to hold Challenge Tickets, which can be accumulated by winning battles. Special Reward Cards will also enhance players' chances of playing against each other and provide support for earning additional Vouchers.
The secret to success is to seize every opportunity. While winning the ZA Ascend Battle, players will also need to train their Pokémon well enough to prepare for the next challenge. Catch and enhance Pokémon in the Wild Zone during the day to prepare for a nighttime showdown, or use the proceeds from battles to purchase battle items. The city of Miare has a dual face of day and night, and seems to be hiding deeper secrets. "Pokémon Legends Z-A" is expected to be officially released in the fall of 2025, and there will be more exciting content to be brought at that time.
