Here’s another look at Pokémon Legends Arceus

The Pokémon Company’s upcoming title, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, is almost here, and just ahead of its official release, Nintendo has dropped new trailer for the game.

The trailer doesn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know about the game, but it does offer a great look at Arceus’ open world.

In the trailer, we get another look at riding Pokémon, a variety of Pocket Monsters, crafting, and a reminder that the game focuses on building the world’s very first Pokédex.

Pokémon Legends Arceus is an open-world title that’s more similar to the Monster Hunter series than a traditional Pokémon game. In Arceus, the player explores Sinnoh region before the world of Pokémon Gyms. The game is set to include new fighting styles and several never-seen-before Pokémon.

Legends Arceus launches on January 28th for the Switch.

Christina Aguilera says Pokémon Legends: Arceus is ‘gorgeous’

Pokémon Legends: Arceus isn’t completely done yet, but it is playable, according to artist Christina Aguilera.

In an interview with Elle, Aguilera said that during the brief Nintendo Switch advertisement she shot with her family, her daughter fell in love with Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

“It’s so gorgeous, the graphics and the setting that you get to explore in, so she was loving that so much, she wouldn’t give me a turn,” said the singer.

The game isn’t finished (“gone gold”), Aguilera explained, and it was solely available on the Switch that her daughter used during the ad.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus launches on January 28th, so it makes sense that the title hasn’t gone gold yet. The game will launch on the Nintendo Switch and is available for pre-order for $79.99 from Amazon.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl add a new way to find Legendaries

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will include a new feature that allows players meet Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.

Ramanas Park lets players to pick up ‘Slates’ from around the region and activate them to find first-gen and second-gen Legendary Pokémon. You can only enter Ramanas Park after you’ve gone through the Hall of Fame.

Depending on whether you have Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, you’ll get access to either Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres or Ho-Oh, Suicune, Entei and Raikou.

Also, if you have Pokémon Sword/Shield or Let’s Go Pikachu/Let’s Go Eevee you can get Mythical Pocket Monsters Jirachi and Mew.

According to the details on the Official Pokémon YouTube Channel, there will be an update on November 11th that adds communications features to Grand Underground, Super Contest Shows, receiving items through Mystery Gift and the ability to enter Ramanas Park.

It’s worth mentioning that the update on November 11th is rather weird given Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl launch on November 19th. With all of this mind, all you need to know is that the game will feature a day-one patch.
