What Happens If You Play Pokemon Legends Z-A on Your Birthday?

Like many recent *Pokémon* games, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* asks players for their birthday. After progressing through the story and meeting Emma in the mission “The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower,” you can enter your birthdate at any Pokémon Center.

Just like in other Pokémon games, you can’t change your birthday in *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* once you’ve set it, so double-check your selection! However, the in-game reward for playing on your birthday isn’t very special, so a mistake won’t ruin your experience.

If you visit a Pokémon Center on your character’s birthday, the Nurse will greet you with a ‘Happy Birthday’ message in French, and confetti will briefly fall. However, you won’t receive any special gifts or be able to see the message again on the same day.
