This research will contribute to the completion of the Pokédex, making each encounter in the game both exciting and educational.

Furthermore, Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces a new type of Pokémon called “Noble Pokémon.” These Pokémon have a close connection to the people of the Hisui region and are deeply respected. Players will have the opportunity to form strong bonds with these Noble Pokémon and seek their guidance throughout their journey.

With its immersive open-world setting, captivating gameplay, and innovative features, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is set to be one of the most anticipated Pokémon games to date.
