Pokemon Legends Arceus (NS)

An adventure in the Sinnoh of days gone by

Catch, survey and research wild Pokémon to create and complete the Sinnoh region’s first Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This game honours past Pokémon games’ core gameplay while infusing new game mechanics and role-play elements.

You’ll be brought to the Sinnoh region. But this story unfolds in a long-gone era, before ideas of being a Pokémon Trainer or having a Pokémon League even existed. All around, you’ll find Pokémon living wild, in harsh environments that make this Sinnoh different from the familiar one you may remember from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.

Catch Pokémon
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn their behaviour, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball and let fly! You can also have your ally Pokémon battle wild ones that you hope to catch. Seamlessly enter battle and command your Pokémon by choosing from moves it knows.

Meet your first Partner Pokémon
As you start off on your adventure to create the region’s first Pokédex, you’ll be able to choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as a partner. These three Pokémon arrived with a Pokémon Professor, who encountered them on research excursions to various regions.
