The traversal is much more streamlined than in recent games

Since Legends: Z-A takes place entirely in one city, it’s not too surprising that it’s doing away with some of the open-world traversal of Scarlet and Violet and Legends: Arceus. In those games, you would ride on Pokémon to get to high places, glide through the air, or swim across bodies of water. Based on what we can see in Legends: Z-A, the only Pokémon you’ll be using to traverse will be your Rotom—which is in your phone—to float between rooftops. That’s a little disappointing considering riding the Hisui Pokémon in Legends: Arceus was one of the best parts about it, but it makes sense given the environment you’ll be inhabiting in Legends: Z-A
