Product Description

Action meets RPG as the Pokémon series reaches a new frontier

Get ready for a new kind of grand, Pokémon adventure in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a brand-new game from Game Freak that blends action and exploration with the RPG roots of the Pokémon series. Embark on survey missions in the ancient Hisui region. Explore natural expanses to catch wild Pokémon by learning their behavior, sneaking up, and throwing a well-aimed Poké Ball. You can also toss the Poké Ball containing your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon to seamlessly enter battle. Travel across land, sea, and sky on the backs of Pokémon to explore every corner of the Hisui region.

Travel to the Hisui region—the Sinnoh of old—and build the region’s first Pokédex

Your adventure takes place in the expansive natural majesty of the Hisui region, where you are tasked with studying Pokémon to complete the region’s first Pokédex. Mount Coronet rises from the center, surrounded on all sides by areas with distinct environments. In this era—long before the events of the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl games—you can find newly discovered Pokémon like Wyrdeer, an evolution of Stantler, and new regional forms like Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark! Along the way, uncover the mystery surrounding the Mythical Pokémon known as Arceus.

A free software update brings special mass outbreaks and new challenges

In the free Daybreak update, you will begin investigating mysterious mass outbreaks of Pokémon that are popping up all over the Hisui region. You’ll also have a chance to battle powerful opponents like Legendary Pokémon in Eternal Battle Reverie and wardens at the Jubilife Village training grounds. Daybreak content will be available after viewing the game’s end credits. The Eternal Battle Reverie will become available after completing all missions.

5.0 out of 5 stars La reinvención en la fórmula de Pokémon
Reviewed in Mexico on April 7, 2022
Una nueva entrega que revolucionó la fórmula de la franquicia Pokémon como la conocemos en portátiles y consolas.
Su gameplay de pelea aun que conserva la interfase y fórmula de los juegos anteriores innova en la implementación de los ataques y el tipo de Pokémon que usas vs elq ue combates, así como sus ataques y estadísticas, que lonhace mas innovador y por supues un RPG un poco maa profundo.
Su mundo habierto y ambientación toman muchas ideas de Zelda BoTW y aun que su implementación es correcta en el mundo Pokémon no llega hacer tan profundo e inmersivo como en Zelda, desaprovechando los NPC al no otorgaerles tareas especificas durante el transcurso del tiempo y darles un poco mas de dialogos para profundizar mas en la trama del juegos y en el mismo mapa o regiones del juegos, ademas en momentos llega a sentirse algo vacio el mundo al tener diseños muy basicos, de los Pokémon no hay problema, encontrarás una inmensa ca tidad de ellos en todo el mapa realizando diferentes actividades, comportamientos y en distintos lugares, desde llanos, bosques, maleza, rios u oceanos hasta en el mismo cielo lo que los hace sentir muy orgánicos y te da una sensación muy profunda de estar capturandolos e investigandolos.
Sin duda un juego que innova en los aspectos de conocer, entrenar, atrapar y ver a los Pokémon en sus habitas, interactuando y con un diseño artistico muy lindo.
8/10 para los que se estan adentrando por primera vez al mundo Pokémon, para los fans sin duda sera un 9/10.

Experiencia con el vendedor:
Todo en orden, mi pedido fue enviado a tiempo y llego antes de lo previsto. El vendedor atendio mi pregunta amablemente, el vendedor es de estados unidos y me llegó la edición de USA en excelente estado y bien empacada, super recomendable comprar con Action Gear.

5.0 out of 5 stars OG Pokemon Player Making a Comeback!
Reviewed in India on August 30, 2022
I started playing Pokemon since I was a child on the very first Nintendo consoles. Be it Pokemon Yellow, the Original Red and Blue till the Sapphire and Ruby launched in 2003ish. I also played a bit of FireRed and LeafGreen in 2005 around sometime before that. And after that I just left the franchise because I moved to India, Pokemon games aren't really that popular here.

I loosely followed the games and their regions over the years but when I heard of Legends Arceus I really wanted to get back into the franchise, and 6 months after the game launching, I finally bought the Switch and the Pokemon Legends Arceus was the first game I got.

This game is a MASSIVE shift from the general dogma of Pokemon games. It's Open World and doesn't focus on the things generally Pokemon games want you to do. I'm not going to leave spoilers incase you're considering buying it and you should buy it, it's just that great. A lot of aspects have been taken from Zelda BOTW. The graphics are great and story is somewhat made for mature audiences, I genuinely felt the story could only be truly understood by a mature adult (you'll know what I'm talking abut if you play it). It's interesting, really fun and intuitive. It's kind of warming to know you can feel an authentic bonds with the Pokemon you raise and can fully interact with them in ways the past games would never let you. 10/10 recommend.

EDIT: I played the game for over 100 hours at this point, after my previous initial impressions. Here are some few other stuff I'd like to say.

The graphics are strictly fine. Coming from the biggest franchise in the world, it should be way way better. There are some areas which are really choppy and feel like the game is running on 10 FPS or less, lol.

Coming to the gameplay aspects, it's really really fun. Where it's lacking is the AI of the Pokemon themselves. I mean they're just there in the overworld, hanging and mucking about doing nothing. No interaction with the environment and each other. You will occasionally find some Pokemon sleeping here and there, and doing unique stuff which kind of excites you but should've been more appealing.

I just completed the living Pokedex, and it was a grind. it was a HUGE grind, but I enjoyed a lot of it. One tip I can give is, finish the respective Pokedex entries till level 10 of each area, it will take time to clear an area but it'll be more fun too. After which shiny hunting got a lot easier. If you enjoy gathering and switching Pokemon and the free to roam aspect in Pokemon, it's a must get. It's a snappy game.
