    Q: is this game compatible with nintendo switch light?

    A: Yes. Bought this and the switch lite. My son loves it.

    Q: Can this be played with the console on the dock?

    A: Yes, it’s actually more fun this way as you can catch Pokémon by emulating the catch with your joycons

    Q: Is this played indoors? Or is this the game that had people walking the actual neighborhood to catch pokeman?

    A: It can be played indoors. It doesn't have you going all over the world trying to catch pokemon through your camera.

    Q: How many players can play at once?

    A: This is absolutely best played as a one player game.

    Q: so i'm an old school, first generation pokemon player since the very first, how is this from the past?? does this have mega evos and weird gen 5+ pokemon or is this classic updated kanto??

    A: This is almost an updated yellow version honestly and it's a pretty sweet game if you spent 100s of hours playing red and blue like me you'll love this it's the original 151 with a sprinkle of alolan variants that you trade for from traveling npcs

    Q: Is this game capable of switching pokemon between pokemon go and lets go

    A: Yes, but you have to play about half way through the game before being able to. After that , you can transfer Pokemon from Go into Let's Go and then into Pokemon Home aswell.

    Pokémon Legends: Arceus - Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite

    Action meets RPG as the Pokémon series reaches a new frontier. Get ready for a new kind of grand, Pokémon adventure in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a brand-new game from Game Freak that blends action and exploration with the RPG roots of the Pokémon series. Embark on survey missions in the ancient Hisui region. Explore natural expanses to catch wild Pokémon by learning their behavior, sneaking up, and throwing a well-aimed Poké Ball. You can also toss the Poké Ball containing your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon to seamlessly enter battle. Travel across land, sea, and sky on the backs of Pokémon to explore every corner of the Hisui region. Travel to the Hisui region—the Sinnoh of old—and build the region’s first Pokédex. Your adventure takes place in the expansive natural majesty of the Hisui region, where you are tasked with studying Pokémon to complete the region’s first Pokédex. Mount Coronet rises from the center, surrounded on all sides by areas with distinct environments. In this era—long before the events of the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl games—you can find newly discovered Pokémon like Wyrdeer, an evolution of Stantler, and new regional forms like Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark! Along the way, uncover the mystery surrounding the Mythical Pokémon known as Arceus. A free software update brings special mass outbreaks and new challenges. In the free Daybreak update, you will begin investigating mysterious mass outbreaks of Pokémon that are popping up all over the Hisui region. You’ll also have a chance to battle powerful opponents like Legendary Pokémon in Eternal Battle Reverie and wardens at the Jubilife Village training grounds. Daybreak content will be available after viewing the game’s end credits. The Eternal Battle Reverie will become available after completing all missions. Bleacher Report - "Pokemon Legends: Arceus is such a blast to play and a step in the right direction..." – N/A - Game Informer - "Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a beautiful adventure thanks mainly to its colorful art style…" – 8.75/10 - Polygon - "There’s always a new type of Pokémon around every corner, and it makes the world feel alive." – N/A - The Verge - "... gives off the feeling of a real place full of danger and secrets and all of the joy and excitement those things can bring." – N/A - IGN - “…reimagines how you go about capturing and battling Pokémon…” – 7/10 - As the protagonist of this game, you'll meet Professor Laventon, who studies the ecology of Pokémon as a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. Before long, you'll join the Galaxy Team yourself and get to work as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon in the region! After receiving an assignment or a request and preparing for your next excursion, you'll set out from Jubilife Village to study one of the various areas of the Hisui region. There may be certain Pokémon behaviors—or even entire species—that you witness only under the right conditions, such as during a particular time of day or in certain kinds of weather. Word has it that some Pokémon even act in ways that are unique to their species! Keep an eye on your health while out adventuring—take too much damage from wild Pokémon attacks or falling from high places and you’ll be unable to go on! Battles in the Hisui region also have some unique properties. For the first time in the series, your Pokémon unleash moves with the speedy agile style or the powerful strong style. These styles might also affect how many turns Pokémon can take in a row! Encounter noble Pokémon, special Pokémon in the Hisui region that have received a mysterious blessing. These nobles are particularly powerful and are revered by the people of the region. But some strange phenomenon is now causing them to suddenly fly into a frenzy. To quell them, you will have to hit them with balms made from these noble Pokémon’s favorite foods. Jubilife Village is the main base of your adventures in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, this village has grown to be the bustling Jubilife City. There are also characters in Pokémon Legends: Arceus who are ancestors of some familiar faces you may know. © 2022 Pokémon. ©1995–2022Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc.
