Weekend plans sometimes solve themselves, and it looks like that’ll be the case this weekend. As part of the Pokémon Week sale, Walmart is knocking the $70 Pokémon Legends: Z-A down to $54. That’s a nice little $16 savings on one of the most talked about RPG adventures.
This entry takes you back to Lumiose City, but not exactly the way you remember it. With a fresh urban makeover, real-time battles, and a new competitive mode, the game mixes classic Pokémon training with a more modern feel that longtime fans and newer players can both enjoy.
Why Choose the Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Pokémon Legends: Z-A drops you right into the lively streets of Lumiose City, where parks and high-tech buildings sit side by side. You’ll choose between Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as your first partner, then explore areas around Prism Tower.
The area is filled with shops, restaurants, and wild zones where Pokémon roam freely. It feels alive, with people and Pokémon sharing the same evolving space.
One of the biggest changes is the move to real-time battles. For the first time in a Pokémon RPG, you directly command your Pokémon in live-action fights, which adds a faster, more strategic edge to encounters. Each night, you can also compete in the Z-A Royale, testing your skills against other trainers in a battle to become the strongest in the city.
The game also introduces new and familiar faces, including AZ, the mysterious owner of Hotel Z, and Team MZ, a group focused on keeping Lumiose peaceful. Between exploring, catching, training, and battling, there is plenty to keep you busy, whether you are playing in short bursts or diving in for long sessions.
At $54, Pokémon Legends: Z-A offers a solid discount on an adventure that blends classic Pokémon charm with fresh gameplay ideas. If Lumiose City is calling your name, this is a good time to jump in.
