It's crazy to think that we're only just a few weeks away from the first open-world Pokemon game.

After being revealed in 2021, Nintendo and Game Freak are finally set to release Pokemon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch on January 28. In the weeks leading up to that date, it's only natural for Nintendo to ramp up its marketing efforts for the game. But, of the smorgasbord of new info about Pokemon Legends: Arceus these past few months, Nintendo's latest promo in Japan has got to be one of the most breathtaking trailers for the game yet.

It's no secret that long-time Pokemon fans have longed for a different kind of game that would help shake up the franchise. Arceus appears to address several complaints that Pokefans have had in recent years. Even if Arceus will retain the turn-based combat, it's going to switch things up in terms of gameplay and how the game works. For one, Arceus features a central base, Jubilife Village, where players can accept assignments and/or quests from other villagers. Meanwhile, Hisui's wild Pokemon will sneak up and kill you if you're not careful about your surroundings.
