Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an open-worldaction RPG game developed by Game Freak in 2022. The game is kind of a revolution in the Pokémon video game series - this time, players will be able to freely explore the region of Hisui, from the third-person perspective, spending most of their time studying the life of local Pokemons, catching them, and training. The game design reminds the artistic style of the extremely successful Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The new Pokemon game received very positive reviews among the gaming community.
A Journey to the Past
The story presented in the game takes place in the past, long before people and Pokémons learned how to live together. Players step into the role of a scholar who decides to explore the island and its natural habitats and create the first Pokédex .
Discover secrets of Hisui
The region of Hisui is a beautiful vast land full of wonderful views, mysterious secrets, and undiscovered Pokémons! Travel through this virgin land and study the local environment. Maybe with a little bit of luck, you will learn something about the legendary Pokémon Arceus?
Begin an Amazing Adventure
While starting the game, you will choose one of three available companions - Cyndaquill, Oshawott, and Rowlet. During the gameplay, you will discover many wild Pokémons living on the island. Study their behavior, and learn about their strengths and weaknesses. This knowledge will be especially helpful during real-time encounters with wild creatures. During combat, players will have to carefully observe Pokémons behavior, and use the best commands depending on the situation.
New Pokémon catching mechanics
Hisui is a big place and you can find Pokémons living in all kinds of places. Track down new Pokémons, observe their behavior, and catch them to add vital information for your Pokédex 'prototype'.
