Pokemon Legends: Arceus game review

You are a kid that fell from the space-time rift (so to speak) and you have to travel across the vast lands of Hisui that includes the Obsidian Fieldlands, Crimson Mirelands, Cobalt Coastlands, Coronet Highlands, Alabaster Iceland's and where you live is Jubilife Village. Fighting Nobles like, Kleavor who is the first Noble you battle, Lilligant who is the second Noble you battle, Arcanine who is the third Noble you battle, Electrode who is the fourth Noble you battle, and Avalugg who is the fifth Noble you battle, they have all been frenzed and they are very strong and you have to use Balms that are made of their favorite food, their wardens will help you make the Balms. When you fight the Nobles there will be a yellow bar at the top that go’s down every time you hit the Noble with a Balm. Be careful! The Nobles have different ways they attack you.

After you defeat Avalugg and go back to the village and sleep in the morning a loud BOOM sound is heard and when you go outside you’re met with a sudden surprise, the sky is red with shield like patterns surrounding the sky, and the space-time rift is bigger. You rush outside to where the Professor, your friend, and captain Cyllene, then you go inside to Cyllene office and then have to go to the commander’s office and find Adaman (the leader of the Diamond clan) and Irida (the leader of the Pearl clan) they both support different Almighty Sinnoh’s (very powerful pokemon) and commander Kamado kicks you out of the village because he thinks you are the cause of the frenzed Nobles and now the red sky. Well what would he expect? You're a kid that fell from the space-time rift! Now you have to seek out the Plates or the Life Plates if you want to be specific.

In every battle you have to use different poké balls to catch stronger pokémon. The Hisui poké balls have a red metal looking texture with the top and the bottom a smooth light colored wood. The opening to the poké ball is rather different from the ones from any other pokemon game, it looks like a zipper and another interesting trait is that on the top of the Poké ball there is a tiny hole shape. What happens when you catch a Pokémon, the tiny hole shape has tiny fireworks explode to signal you have caught the Pokémon. In other words, as for the ball's appearance, it's not particularly “strange” in any notable way, as it looks like pretty much any other poké ball, just with a specific color scheme. But the “strangeness” of it is more meant to refer to the fact that it's not of the time and place it's being used.

Now you're kicked out of Jubilife village, what do you do? Well you are sad that you were kicked out and now you have to find the three lake pokemon, Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. They were created by the Alpha Pokémon Arceus and reside in the Sinnoh region's Lake Valor, Lake Verity and Lake Acuity. Azelf represents willpower, Mesprit represents emotion and Uxie represents knowledge, so you can get the Red chain that is spoken to be the chain that will bind the space-time rift together. It will work right? Well after you prove yourself to the powerful Pokémon’s and get the chain, you got through the stone portal to the temple of Almighty Sinnoh, either Adaman or Irida (it depends for who you chose to help you for the search of the lake pokémon while your at the Ancient Retreat) will be spoken by their Almighty Sinnoh (either Dialga, Diamond clan. Or Palkia, Pearl clan) and then you will have to fight either Dialga or Palkia and when you succeed the other Almighty Sinnoh comes out and you try to use the Red chain but it breaks and you have to retreat, having to make the Gigaton Ball make with some broken off parts of the Red chain. When you go back to the temple you will fight the other Almighty Sinnoh and use the Gigaton Ball to chatch it, get accepted back into your village for quelling the Almighty Sinnoh’s and fixing the space-time rift, your search is now to find Arceus, the known god of all pokemon.
