A new Pokémon Presents showcase is scheduled for July 22 to share the latest Pokémon news. The company also launched new Mega Evolution merchandise now available at Pokémon Center stores.
Players purchasing either physical or digital Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the enhanced Switch 2 version for $10 through the Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store. The upgraded edition delivers superior graphics and smoother performance.
