Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a game created by GAME FREAK for the Nintendo Switch system, takes players on an adventure through the world of Sinnoh in the past. Explore the globe while collecting Pokémon and filling your Pokédex has always been a fundamental aspect of the Pokémon series’ gameplay, and it remains so today. Taking the fundamental gameplay of previous Pokémon games and mixing it with new action and RPG components, Pokémon Legends: Arceus delivers an experience that goes above and beyond what the series has previously delivered.
As you travel through the game’s vast natural landscapes, you’ll come across the Pokémon that call these vast panoramas their home. To catch Pokémon, you can observe them to discover their habits, then cautiously sneak up on them while aiming your Poké Ball at them and letting it fly. You can also use your ally Pokémon to battle wild Pokémon that you aim to capture in order to get experience points. If you throw the Poké Ball containing your ally Pokémon in the direction of a wild Pokémon, you will enter fight effortlessly. When the battle begins, you will command your Pokémon by selecting one of its known moves from a list. This innovative approach to gameplay provides an immersive, intimate experience of a world brought to life by Pokémon and people alike through the use of augmented reality technology.
