If this is the future of the series, I’ll be incredibly happy, because this just might be the best Pokemon game ever made.
"Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a single-player, open world fantasy game for Nintendo Switch, offering around 15 hours of playtime. The game takes place in the Sinnoh region from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but in a bygone era before the concept of Pokémon Trainers existed.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Review — What’s old is new
Pokémon Legends: Arceus still has some lingering flaws from the series' rough transition to 3D, but is still an incredibly fun time from start to finish. Catching and battling Pokémon hasn’t been this fun in over a decade, and despite the wealth of things to do in Hisui I’m still hungry for more.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus feels like the result of Game Freak learning lessons for 25 years, refining the formula, and finally taking the franchise in a new, incredible, exciting direction. With its emphasis on extremely rewarding exploration, addictive catching mechanics, a fine roster of Pokémon and a genuine sense of scale that’s unlike anything in the series, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is quite simply one of the greatest Pokémon games ever made.

Journey back in time to when Pokemon and humans didn't live in such close harmony and get to know all the inhabitants of Hisui (later to be known as Sinnoh)
