Pokemon Legends: Arceus update fixes instances of screen freeze, makes Cherrim easier to catch

February 9, 2022VG247

Ver. 1.0.2 update is now available. Nintendo has released an update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus that fixes a few issues players have run into. For starters, there was an issue when while offline, the player’s screen would freeze after trying to pick up a lost satchel by throwing a ball containing a Pokemon. This has been addressed. An issue where a certain event would not occur during a particular Mission has been fixed, preventing the scenario from proceeding as intended. That’s rather vague, but Nintendo may not wish to spoil what the Mission is for players who have yet to…

Pokemon Legends: Arceus – 4 things you need to know about Hisui, the land before Sinnoh

January 24, 2022VG247

The latest Pokemon game takes us to Sinnoh, but in a way that we’ve never seen before. What do we know about the historical land of Hisui? Rolling hills and deep valleys with crisp, mountain air. Long, golden beaches with crystal waves lapping at the shore. Young, bustling settlements brimming with human activity. This is Hisui; the setting of the newest Pokemon game, and a location unlike any we’ve ever seen in the Pokemon universe before. You most likely know this region as Sinnoh – that’s what it’s called in the modern-day Pokemon games – but this title is set…

6 other historical settings we want Pokemon to visit after Legends: Arceus

January 14, 2022VG247

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a major event for the Pokemon series. Not only is it breaking with many series traditions to present a clearly Breath of the Wild-inspired open-world take on the Pokemon series, but it’s also taking a swing at a relatively underused concept for the Pokemon franchise: a historical story. We’ve seen this before, briefly, in the DS spin-off Pokemon Conquest, which told the story of feudal Japan in the Pokemon universe. But this month’s title is the first time the concept has been explored in a main-line, full-fat Pokemon title. Legends: Arceus is set in the Sinnoh…

January 14, 2022VG247

Game Freak is due to launch its most experimental Pokemon game in years later this month – but will the risk pay off? If you’re tired of the age-old Pokemon tradition of grinding Gym Leaders, defeating an evil, villainous team and then besting the Elite Four, you’re in luck – Pokemon Legends: Arceus doesn’t just rewrite the Pokemon rule book… it throws it out the window all together. For its latest open world epic, Game Freak is taking us back in time – back to an era where Sinnoh was known as Hisui – and its making some serious changes…

Pokemon Legends: Arceus features Hisuian forms of familiar Pokemon

August 18, 2021VG247

Of course, a new Pokemon game means new forms of the creatures. Pokemon Legends: Arceus will feature not only a new Legendary creature, but some Pokemon in the game will also have Hisuian forms. Two of the Hisuian forms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus are Wyrdeer and Basculegion. The former is an evolution of Stantler while Basculegion is a version of Basculin. According to lore, the Normal/Psychic-type Wyrdeer grows much larger when it evolves, and garments with its fur shed from its beard, tail, and legs. These are highly prized by folks in the region for such “top-notch protection” against the…
