Pokémon Legends: Arceus is finally here, and the Pokémon fans are ready to travel to the distant past and visit ancient times when Poké Balls were made of wood and Pokédex were notebooks where you would manually enter all your collected data.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus comes with many familiar features beloved by the fans of the series, and yet it reinvigorates the established formula with many new features and gameplay elements that blend perfectly into traditional Pokémon gameplay.
And then, of course, there's a vast and open world, full of mysteries and wild Pokémon to uncover, battle against them, and catch them!
The adventure awaits you and if you also play other Pokémon games, you will be delighted to hear that you are eligible to earn some unique rewards, completely free.
