You’ll be brought to the Sinnoh region, the setting for Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl; But this story unfolds in a long-gone era, before ideas such as being a Pokémon Trainer or having a Pokémon League even existed
All around, you’ll find Pokémon living wild in harsh environments that make for a Sinnoh, unlike the region you may remember from the days of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn their behaviour, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball and let fly
You can also have your ally Pokémon battle wild Pokémon that you hope to catch; throw the Poké Ball holding your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon, and you’ll seamlessly enter a battle and command your Pokémon by choosing from moves it knows
As you start off on your adventure to create the region’s first Pokédex, you’ll be able to choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as a partner; These three Pokémon arrived with a Pokémon Professor, who encountered them on research excursions to various regions.
