- GAMEPLAY – Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an action role-playing game with an open-world setting building on the Wild Area featured in Pokémon Sword and Shield.[1] The game will be set in a feudal Japan-inspired Sinnoh region, long before the events of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It was stated that the objective of the game would be to create Sinnoh’s first Pokédex. The mythical Pokémon Arceus will play a major role in the story. Players can capture Pokémon directly in the overworld immediately without going through a battle, and can engage in battle by releasing Pokémon they have previously captured near a wild Pokémon. At the start of the game, three starter Pokémon options are available: Rowlet (from Sun and Moon), Cyndaquil (from Gold and Silver), and Oshawott (from Black and White) making this the first game to feature a starter from three DIFFERENT generations of games. Im still sure Charizard and Pikachu show up in some form or another because they are in almost every game!
