This isn’t a Let’s Go! style game.

Gamefreak are only overseeing the Diamond and Pearl remakes, the rest of the team are busy with Pokémon Legends Arceus. This is an action-RPG set in an ancient Sinnoh region. A mysterious travelling professor comes to the region with Rowlet, Cyndaquil and Piplup. You pick your buddy and set off to build the first Pokédex. Pokémon appear in the wild and you can avoid or catch them at your will.
As the name suggests, Pokémon Legends Arceus‘s story will focus on the legendary pokémon. We’ll have to wait until it’s early 2022 release.
