Get the first look at the setting of your Arceus adventure and the newly discovered Pokémon

THE Pokémon Company (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara) is pleased to share the news about the Nintendo Switch software title Pokémon Legends: Arceus!

Your adventure will be 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.

The region is home to Jubilife Village, a bustling settlement that many call their home. The village is the center of operations for the Galaxy Expedition Team (or Galaxy Team for short)—a collection of people from various regions who have come to study the Hisui region. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon in the region.

Whenever you leave Jubilife Village to set out on an excursion, your first stop will be one of the base camps that will serve as a handy outpost for your work. These base camps are more than just starting points, however. You can stop by for a rest during an excursion, letting your team of Pokémon recover their health, or you can use a base camp’s workbench to craft some items.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you may become unable to go on with your survey if you take too much damage, whether it’s caused by wild Pokémon attacks or falling from high places.

As you’re out exploring during your adventures, you’ll be able to collect all kinds of materials. You can use these materials to do some crafting combining these materials to make new items. You can craft items using the workbenches found at base camps and in Jubilife Village. You’ll find that you can make a wide variety of items that will help you with your survey work—not the least of which being the Poké Balls you’ll need to catch Pokémon!

As you dash about through the wilds, seek out Pokémon you want to catch. They live freely in all kinds of places—in grassy fields, in forests, or out on the water, to name a few. Their modes of life can be closely linked to the environments they live in.

Early purchasers will be able to obtain a Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set. The Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set will be gifted to early purchasers of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You can receive it by choosing Get via internet in the Mystery Gifts feature in your game, up until May 9, 2022. Dress yourself up in this great Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set as you enjoy your adventures in the Hisui region.gr.
