Every Character Confirmed for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, So Far

The Player Character

This one's a given, but they still count as a new character. As is tradition in Pokemon games, players will get to choose between a male or female avatar. Beyond that, there isn't much known about Pokemon Legends: Z-A's player character besides their default version's apparent affinity for wearing fedoras. Thankfully, the game has teased a surprising amount of customization options for a Pokemon title, so for those who aren't fond of fedoras, the hat can be tossed to the curb. Protagonists in Pokemon games are often blank slates, so it's likely that this fresh chapter will continue that long-standing trend.

Urbain/Taunie

The sex a player chooses for the main character will determine whether one runs into Urbain or Taunie. They work and live at Hotel Z and are the player character's main friend within the story. According to the game's official website, "They may come on strong at times, but they like helping people and Pokemon," which implies a bold personality. The Pokemon franchise is no stranger to introducing strong sidekicks, so it will be interesting to see how Urbain and Taunie fit into that mold.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A comes out on October 16 for both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2.

AZ and Eternal Flower Floette

One interesting duo set to return in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is AZ and his Pokemon companion, Eternal Flower Floette. The former now runs Hotel Z, while the latter still differs in appearance compared to others of her species. The two are said to be around 3,000 years old.

AZ stands at a whopping 9 feet tall.

Jett, Vinnie, and Corbeau

This trio of fresh faces are some of the most mysterious characters promised to appear in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Jett serves as the CEO of Quasartico Inc. This company is in charge of urban redevelopment plans that are reshaping Lumiose City in a way that's intended to allow humans and Pokemon to live together in harmony. Vinnie is Jett's large-stature, sunglasses-wearing secretary who holds a stern expression. Last, but not least, of this new trio of characters is Corbeau. It's already been made clear that Corbeau will be an antagonist within the story, so it will be interesting to learn about his motives.

Corbeau specializes in Poison-type Pokemon.

Emma and Mable

These two are also returning names from X and Y. Those who played X and Y will remember Emma as the orphan who Looker takes under her wing and Mable as a member of Team Flare, the game's main villain group. Now, Emma has her own detective agency, while Mable has seemingly had a change of heart and now works as a Professor. Players will be able to assist both in side missions in order to gain rewards.
