Pokémon Legends: Arceus marks the beginning of a new generation and a very promising future.

Mexico City, February 6 (However).- Pokémon is one of the most emblematic sagas at a cultural level in the whole world, a saga that brings together millions of fans of all ages and that through its different product lines seek to meet new goals and, above all, reach new audiences . When talking about the video games that we have seen emulate the same formula over and over again over the years, obtaining great results and pleasing the fans, except on very particular occasions, we can say that each installment has been a success accompanied by different versions as we saw from its beginnings with Pokémon: red, blue, green or yellow and more recently with its sword and shield version or the remastering of Pokémon diamond and pearl just at the end of last year.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus It not only represents a before and after in the series at the launch level as an installment that arrives without a counterpart, but also marks the beginning of a new era in the future of the franchise. On this occasion we will get to know the “Hisui” region, it will tell us a story prior to what we normally know today in the Pokémon universe, a time when it was not so common to see the coexistence of Pokémon and humans, however, in this “new” region, which we would know as “Sinnoh” is where and more recently, the events of the fourth generation of the series take place. In this region we will be able to go through up to 5 different zones that will offer us landscapes focused on the forest, sea, fire, snow, among others. In addition, our adventure will focus on the “Jublife” village where we will learn about the events that surround us, in addition to meeting the “Galaxy” team, which will be a fundamental part of the plot and this adventure.
The village will always work as our starting point for other territories (in addition to following the main story of the game), where the new level of rank will be a fundamental part of our exploration, since in order to continue in the story and advance between the different areas of the map, we will always have to have the rank that is requested of us, for this, we must fulfill not only the missions of the story, but also carry out tasks related to Pokémon research, such as capturing new creatures and completing their different technical sheets. However, the inhabitants of the village and most of the characters that we meet on our way along Hisui will also play an important role in the game in this ranking system, since on several occasions you will have to fulfill different favors or missions. that they ask you, such as showing or donating a specific Pokémon, investigating events or collecting items throughout the area, making each of these missions give us rewards and experience to increase our rank.
One of the new additions to the game system of this new installment lies in the complete dynamics, the essence of exploring and capturing Pokémon remains intact, although it makes certain improvements at the time of combat such as having the freedom of movement to observe the battle, use stealth to approach a pokémon, distract it with fruit or even the type of Pokéballs that we can use. Being Breath of the Wild a clear reference to the additions in this installment and establishing a new system for the creation and collection of objects, taking elements from the world such as plants, minerals, wood, rock and others for the creation of positions, objects and mainly Pokéballs and although the stores they still exist, you will need large amounts of money and in the long run, it is much easier to create them. However, this change represents one of the strongest pillars, as it really does feel like a completely different experience.
The battle system is faithful to the traditional method, with a better use and freedom of the camera as a trainer and full of visual effects that make each combat spectacular At the same time, the “Hisui” region is unique and enjoyable in every corner when exploring it, the fact that throughout the 5 available areas we have to explore each mountain, cave, island or terrain makes the experience and rewards of defeating or capturing a pokémon feel as if it were the first time. Also, as we go deeper into the story, we will be able to access much more efficient and faster transportation methods, so the way we play is constantly evolving in favor of the user experience. However, perhaps one of the weakest points of the game also lies in its ambition to have such a large map, full of Pokémon, but with spaces that at times seem to lack more life, although it can be understood with the justification for the story part, maybe we could have had a much more dynamic world.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus marks the beginning of a new generation and a very promising future, the game fulfills in a great way and manages to offer us a new experience that is enjoyed from beginning to end and that makes us wait for more content or future updates of the game.
