Pokemon Legends: Arceus is an action role-playing game that maintains the primary gameplay of previous entries in the main series. The player can freely travel the game map, which is separated into five big zones with various biomes. As the protagonist of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you'll be a member of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps. As you attempt to build the land's first-ever Pokedex, your aim will be to encounter every species of Pokemon from every part of the Hisui area.
Similar to many previous entries in the Pokemon franchise, players embark on a journey across the region to become the strongest trainer, fighting eight powerful trainers called Gym Leaders and eventually the region's Champion. Pokemon Sword and Shield are role-playing video games with adventure elements and in most cases are presented in a fixed camera, third-person perspective; in certain instances free camera movement is available.
