Say Goodbye to These Items in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Pokemon games have a lot of ongoing traditions, with the biggest ones typically being upheld in new releases. Pokemon Legends: Z-A is already quite revolutionary, as it has an entirely new battle system that doesn’t rely on turns, and it’s also the first non-remake mainline Pokemon game to introduce no new critter species or regional forms. The way battles work in PLZA is very different from what fans are used to, as everything happens in real time, and Speed determines how often a given Pokemon can dodge attacks and how long cooldowns on each move take to recharge. This massive shift can be very exciting, but it can also be sad for longtime fans, as at least 7 iconic items are removed from the game.
