Exclusive 1 Hour Hands-On with Legends Z-A

The Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon codes at GameStop ended up being incredibly disappointing for fans as most stores ran out within hours of opening on the first day. Not only was this an issue in the West, but reports that codes ran out equally fast in Japan too. Mega Evolution TCG has launched and the Scarlet & Violet era is now over. Pokémon TCG Pocket is getting a new set that will be around for a limited time. After getting back from Paris, Steve played a full hour of Pokémon Legends Z-A and can share thoughts about the game and the battle system.
