Pokemon games have always had some multiplayer features, what with trading and online matches, but Pokémon Arceus might be the first title in the series to have players directly help others in their single-player campaign.

In the game, you play as a member of a scouting team, so it makes sense that they wouldn't be alone in their exploration of Hisui. Now, the NPC characters from your group aren't really all too helpful when you're out in the world, but this is where other players come in.

Although you never get to see another player in your single-player campaign, if you are connected to the internet, the other players can help you out by picking up your stuff after fainting.

Whenever you "die," your character drops a bag with their items, and you normally have to backtrack to retrieve it.

However, with online features on, other players can spot the bag in their game and drop it off at the lost and found for you to pick it up instantly.

This can save a lot of time and needless backtracking, so it's good to stay connected to the internet.

It's nice to have someone watching your back, even if you can't see them.
