Most frustrating part about NG4's level design is how easy it is to miss things on your initial playthrough without having access to chapter select until NG+. Great game, definitely much needed, and it has me hopeful for the future. Just the level design leaves a bit to be desired. Its one of the easier entries alongside 2 Sigma/Black 2, and a great entrypoint for new players.

The Switch/Switch 2 is literally the most backwards compatible system ever. It goes both ways! I just got the Switch 2 version of Pokemon ZA and it just straight up works in my original Switch. I got it second hand much cheaper than the Switch 1 version is selling retail so scored a deal and future proofed for when I get a Switch 2 eventually. Nothing about this game required the Switch 2! Haha
