There was a lot of information regarding Pokémon Legends: Arceus in the latest Pokémon Presents.

We learnt about early Sinnoh which at the time of Pokémon Legends: Arceus was called the Hisui region.

In this game your character joins the Galaxy Expedition Team to help them complete the first Hisui Pokédex by studying, battling, and capturing the 'Mons found throughout the region. This seems to happen in a much more open world than anything seen in the Pokémon franchise before.

Whilst navigating this open world you will of course encounter many Pokémon. They seem to react in much more interesting ways than they ever have in previous games. Some of them will run, some of them won't care about your presence, and some of them will attack you. Not your Pokémon. You.

Of course, you'll have your own team of creatures to fight off evil Pokémon but if you don't send your buddy out fast enough you might just get a fireball to the face.

The game will be introducing us to new Pokémon and forms as well. There's the adorable Hisuian Growlithe, the awesome Hisuian Braviary, the evolution to Stantler, Wyrdeer, and the evolution to Basculin, Basculegion.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is coming to the Nintendo Switch on January 28 2022.
