The Pokemon Company shared a new trailer and details for Pokemon Legends Arceus during the August 18th edition of Pokemon Presents! Players embark on a new journey in the Hisui region where Hisuian and Sinnohian Pokemon reside alongside humans. Survey, catch, explore and research across the Hisui region to complete the region’s first Pokedex. Check out more details and the latest trailer below:
The natural majesty of the Hisui region
Your adventure is set in the expansive natural majesty of the Hisui region, in an age long ago when it was rare for people and Pokémon to live in close harmony. In time, this land of Hisui will come to be called Sinnoh—a region you may know well.
Mount Coronet rises from the center of the Hisui region, surrounded on all sides by areas with distinct environments. Each area is rich in its own natural features and plays host to different Pokémon ecosystems. One such area is the Obsidian Fieldlands, which is resplendent with gorgeous flowers and verdant vegetation—what’s more, it appears to teem with Pokémon that favor meadows and forests.
Seek out Pokémon
Pokémon live freely in all kinds of places—in grassy fields, in forests, or out on the water, to name a few. There may be certain Pokémon behaviors—or even entire species—that you witness only under the right conditions, such as during a particular time of day or in certain kinds of weather.
Observe Pokémon to learn their dispositions
Wild Pokémon will react to you in different ways depending on the species. Some may come right at you and attack, while others will run away as soon as they spot you. Tailoring your approach to Pokémon’s dispositions will be the key to successfully catching them.
Weaken Pokémon in battle to catch them
Battle can be a critical step in catching some Pokémon. Wild Pokémon become easier to catch after they’ve been weakened in a battle.
Carefully aim and throw a Poké Ball
You can try to catch wild Pokémon by throwing Poké Balls at them. When you find a Pokémon that you want to catch, get close to it, then try to catch it using a Poké Ball. Aim carefully at your target, and hit it with your ball before you miss the opportunity! If the wild Pokémon doesn’t pop right back out of the Poké Ball you hit it with, then you’ve done it! That’s a successful catch.
