Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Nintendo Switch

Step into a bold reimagining of the Pokémon series with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a groundbreaking title that blends action, exploration, and classic RPG elements into a rich, immersive experience. Set in the distant past of the Sinnoh region, known then as the Hisui region, this game invites you to discover a world long before the existence of modern Pokémon Trainers and Gyms.

As a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team, your mission is to study and understand wild Pokémon by creating the region’s very first Pokédex. The gameplay revolutionizes the traditional Pokémon formula, allowing you to observe, sneak up on, and capture Pokémon directly in the overworld without entering battle, though turn-based combat remains a key part of strategic encounters.

Explore a vast and beautifully diverse open world filled with unique ecosystems, weather conditions, and wild Pokémon behaviors. Travel through sprawling landscapes like lush forests, icy mountains, and sweeping plains, each offering different Pokémon species and research opportunities.

You’ll also uncover the legends behind the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, uncover secrets of ancient times, and interact with characters that shape the region's history. Customize your character, craft essential items, complete side missions, and become a vital part of the team tasked with exploring and taming the wilderness of Hisui.

With its innovative gameplay, captivating story, and fresh take on the Pokémon journey, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a must-play title for both longtime fans and newcomers alike, delivering a truly unforgettable adventure on Nintendo Switch.
