Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a chance for Game Freak to create a true next-generation Pokémon by diving deeper into its RPG roots, something fans have been waiting for for a while.
Why I'm Excited About Pokemon Legends Arceus
While players hoped that the move to the Nintendo Switch would push the series forward, Pokémon Sword and Shield left many disappointed, myself included. Thankfully, it looks like Pokémon Legends: Arceus will finally deliver on the bigger, more expansive worlds and RPG systems that gamers have been craving.
“It's the first Pokémon game ever with an open-world RPG concept,” Roger Senpai, a big fan of the series, told Lifewire via email.
"As a Pokémon fan who plays the handheld games, I would love to see the exploration aspect of the game in 2D and see new parts of the region. However, I've always wondered what Pokémon would look and feel like in a 3D world where exploration was the main focus. With Pokémon Legends: Arceus, we finally get to see that! I'm very excited for this upcoming game."
