PraticalBrush12 un Utente di Reddit e leaker noto nel mondo Nintendo ha confermato le seguenti informazioni sui prossimi titoli di GameFreak sulle console Nintendo.
Nel 2021 vedremo arrivare su Nintendo Switch i remake di Pokémon Diamante e Perla nominati "Brillant Diamond" e "Shining Pearl", saranno sviluppati da ILCA e non da Game Freak, le battaglie saranno uguali a quelle viste su Sword e Shield e l'Art Style è leggermente diverso emulando un "Chibi 3D" un po' come il nel gioco Bravely Default 2 e Pokémon Lets GO!
Ma le novità più interessanti arriveranno nel 2022 con un Pokémon ambientato a Sinnoh ma nell'era feudale Giapponese, quindi nel passato del mondo Pokémon, con caratteristiche Open World come Legends Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, ma più limitato nei movimenti e sviluppato da Game Freak.
I Pokémon starters saranno Oshawott, Cyndaquil e Rowlet, sarà possibile farsi seguire da un Pokémon durante l'esplorazione il titolo provvisorio è "Legends Arceus" e scopriremo le origini del primo Pokédex. Il combattimento sarà sempre "turn-based" ma con qualche miglioramento per renderlo più interattivo.
Non è la prima volta che The Pokémon Company esplora un mondo feudale giapponese, lo ha già fatto con Pokémon Conquest nel 2012 un crossover tra Pokémon e Nobunaga Ambition.
A legend is foretold that the one who unifies all the 17 kingdoms of the Ransei Region (ランセ地方, Ranse-chihō) will have a chance to encounter the Legendary Pokémon who created the Ransei Region. Warriors and Warlords all over the region sought to fulfill the foretold legend, resulting in battles and an end to Ransei's peaceful era. The game initiates off with the player just becoming the Warlord of the Aurora (ハジメ, Hajime) kingdom and is met by Oichi. Hideyoshi of the nearby kingdom of Ignis (カエン, Kaen) sends his warriors to ambush Aurora, only for them to be defeated by player and Oichi. Oichi explains to the player that all of the other kingdoms of Ransei had become aggressive and hostile towards one another, in their own hopes of fulfilling the Ransei Legend. This initiates the player's harrowing journey of unifying other nations, starting with Ignis, hoping to restore peace upon Ransei. After conquering the kingdoms of Greenleaf (アオバ, Aoba), and Fontaine (イズミ, Izumi), Oichi explains that Nobunaga, who dwells at the northern part of Ransei, is the main threat of the Ransei Region. After conquering the kingdoms of Violight (シデン, Shiden), Chrysalia (サナギ, Sanagi), and Pugilis (コブシ, Kobushi), Oichi explains that Nobunaga's ambition is to fulfill the Ransei Legend and use Arceus's power to demolish Ransei.
After conquering the two kingdoms of Terrera (ダイチ, Daichi) and Illusio (ゲンム, Genmu), Oichi hosts a celebration of Shingen and Kenshin's recruitment to the player's army. During the celebration, the player is confronted by Nobunaga, who holds the kingdoms of Avia (ツバサ, Tsubasa), Cragspur (キガン, Kigan), Yaksha (ヤシャ, Yasha), Viperia (ドクガ, Dokuga), Valora (フクシ, Fukushi), Nixtorm (フブキ, Fubuki), and Spectra (ミタマ, Mitama) under his command. Nobunaga informs the player and Oichi of their foolishness of opposing him and returns to his own kingdom of Dragnor (リュウ, Ryū). Though his servant Ranmaru pleads with Oichi not to oppose him, Nobunaga states he will annihilate anyone who gets in his way. With Nobunaga and his Zekrom defeated, the player had united Ransei, and the Infinity Tower is revealed. Inside, the player's party finds the Mythical Pokémon Arceus. After linking with Arceus, the player is confronted again with Nobunaga, now partnered with a shiny Rayquaza, along with Mitsuhide, Nō (ノウヒメ, Nouhime), Ieyasu, Ranmaru, and Hideyoshi for a final battle. After being defeated, Nobunaga reveals his true intentions to bring peace to Ransei by destroying Arceus as it is the cause of the conflict. However, seeing the player unaffected by being linked to Arceus, and as the Pokémon takes its leave, Nobunaga relents as Ransei's kingdoms are restored to their proper owners and a system in the region is established.
Titolo che all'epoca riscosse un grosso successo da parte della critica con voti entusiasti di Famitsu, IGN (di cui vinse un Editor's Choice Award) e totalizzando un punteggio di 80/100 su Metacritic.
