We're only a little over a month before the release of Game Freak's Pokemon Legends: Arceus. To help drum up hype for something that has the potential to change the Pokemon franchise forever, Nintendo dropped a new trailer introducing several characters that longtime series fans might know a thing or two about.
Are you ready for Pokemon Legends: Arceus?
Unlike previous mainline Pokemon installments that are usually set in the same timeline, Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes gamers back hundreds of years ago when the Sinnoh region was still known as Hisui. Because of how far back in time it is, much of the gameplay structure and formula of Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be vastly different. There'll be no cities and the usual buildings like gyms, centers, and more. Also, instead of the usual top-down perspective, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be a third-person game with an open-world-lite setting.
TLDR; Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be a very different Pokemon game.
