Pokémon Legends: Arceus (Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス, Pokemon Rejenzu: Aruseusu; translation: Pokémon Legends: Arceus) is an action role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. It is part of the eighth generation of the Pokémon video game series and serves as a prequel to the 2006 Nintendo DS role-playing video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It was released worldwide on January 28, 2022 for Nintendo Switch. The game was announced as part of the Pokémon 25th Anniversary event along with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an action RPG, a first in the main series of Pokémon games. Despite this distinction and the changes that come with it, Legends: Arceus is said to pay homage to the core gameplay of previous entries in the series. It features an open-world setting in the Wild Area introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. The game takes place in a past era of the Sinnoh region's history, long before the events of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It has been stated that the game's objective is to create the first Sinnoh Pokédex. The mythical Pokémon Arceus will play an important role in the story.
Players can capture Pokémon directly in the overworld immediately, without going through a battle, and can enter battle by releasing Pokémon they previously captured near a wild Pokémon.[6][1] Poké Balls at this time were made of wood and steam when the Pokémon was captured. At the start of the game, three starter Pokémon options are available: Rowlet (from Pokémon Sun and Moon), Cyndaquil (from Pokémon Gold and Silver), and Oshawott (from Pokémon Black and White), making it the first game in the main series to feature starter Pokémon from three different generations of games.
