This is a story of a long time ago when the lives of humans and the Pokémon were still separated.

In development by the Old Pokémon Study, Game Freak, Pokémon Legends: Arceus received its own time at the Pokémon Presents presentation center at the beginning of this Wednesday August 18. We have disaggregated the most important game features that players can expect when they begin to put a foot in this last iteration.

Legends: Arceus takes place in the new region of Hisui, now known as the Sinnoh region, and presents Cyndaquil, Rowlet and Oshawott as the initial trio. As it is deduced from previous images, the region takes its aesthetic from the Japan of the feudal era, with designs reminiscent of fashion and architecture.

Once again, the coaches will take advantage of the great open world habitats to find and study Pokémon in their natural environment. The images of the game revealed herds of rapids and buizel rafts, as well as a handful of different biomes, from exuberant and sunny forests to peaks of cold mountains. It seems that the coaches will also have the ability to crouch and stealthily approach Pokémon instead of running towards them.

In fact, Legends: Arceus seems to be a completely open world, with coaches capable of throwing pokebolas long before combat begins and / or seeing the battles in real time, right before his eyes. They will also be able to use different Pokémon regionally to cross HISUI at vertiginous speeds, running through the forests, falling into waterfall and rising above the plains.

Speaking of regional forms: Hisui has at least four revealed by the trailer. Hisuian Growlithe is already a great favorite. As regards travel, coaches can fly using Hisuian Braviary, ride Wyrdeer's loins, a new evolved way of Stantler, through the forest and explore rivers, lakes and waterfalls with basculegion, a furious and evolved form of Basculin .

However, the main story of the game is still unknown. The coaches will become members of one of the nuclei of the human Galaxy Team who study and use Pokémon in their daily life. They will attend expeditions to nature to capture and study local creatures and work to complete the first Pokedex. The game focuses on survey work missions that must be completed in nature.

However, as for the general plot, everything we can say is that it seems that something is causing havoc in the region and making the Pokémon aggressive, which leads to other humans to believe that they are dangerous and terrifying creatures. Which, to be fair, in Legends: Arceus, it seems that they are. Overland Pokemon will attack the coach, to themselves, and will harm the avatar of him instead of immediately provoking a Battle of Pokémon.

The battle has also received a review, with assigned shifts according to speed statistics and the battle caused by launching a Pokémon near its wild counterpart before it is noted, at all. The speed can be affected by the strong and agile styles.

Unfortunately, with all existing features, there does not seem to be a lot of customization of characters for the game.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be launched on January 28, 2022. It is currently available to preordire online and in Nintendo Eshop.
