It's hard to believe that Pokémon Legends: Z-A was released over a year ago. Pokémon Legends: Z-A was released back in October 2025, over a year ago, and it got its first (and presumably only) DLC expansion very early on, less than two months after launch.

The 30th anniversary celebration is going strong, and cards (much to the chagrin of players rather than collectors) are selling out worldwide in most regions. It's a banner year for Pokémon, which is wild to think about given how popular it is at any given time.
