There are only a few days left until Pokémon Legends: Arceus releases. GameFreak is trying something different with the established Pokémon paradigm for the first time in so many years, not just because I’m starving for new Pokémon content. Since Pokémon’s mainline series has been mildly stagnant for a few generations, we may be about to see the next big thing with Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
After getting to know the Hisui region for a bit, the critics have come to the conclusion that, Pokémon Legends: Arceus isn’t the giant paradigm shift some were expecting, it takes enough steps in the right direction to make many hopeful.
