Pokemon Legends: Arceusis set to launch soon, and so Nintendo has been ramping up the marketing push for the game. Nintendo has been releasingvideos detailingPokemon Legends: Arceusfeaturesand explaining to fans what they can expect from the gameplay. This has included a Japanese language-only trailer forPokemon Legends: Arceusthat’s about six minutes long and shows Pokemon actively trying to attack humans.
ThePokemon Legends: Arceustrailer starts off by showing relaxing scenes of the Hisui region and showing small Pokemon walking around. Things then take a sharp turn to the more sinister, as the player character has to dive out of the way to avoid being hit by a Crobat attack. The trailer then shows hostile Pokemon with glowing red eyes, which will presumably be extra aggressive when trying to attack humans in the game.

There a few other clips in thePokemon Legends: Arceustrailer of Pokemon trying to attack humans. This includes a Geodude launching itself at the player and aGarchomppreparing an attack as well. Needless to say,Pokemon Legends: Arceusis going to put the human player character in a lot more danger than fans may be used to from playing the other main seriesPokemonvideo games.
Pokemon attacking humans is nothing new in the generalPokemonfranchise, as there are countless scenes in the anime where humans are attacked by Pokemon. In fact, almost every episode featuresTeam Rocket being electrocuted by Pikachuor sent “blasting off again” through some other method. However, it’s territory that hasn’t really been explored all that much in the main seriesPokemonvideo games, which have instead focused on the battles between Pokemon.
While Pokemon will attempt to attack humans inPokemon Legends: Arceus, there will still be plenty of battles between the Pokemon themselves. The main goal of the game is tocomplete the Hisui region Pokedex, which players will do by catching wild Pokemon and then using those wild Pokemon in battle against others to make catching them easier, and so on and so forth.Pokemon Legends: Arceusis making major changes to the battle system, so it will still be quite a bit different from what fans are used to, but the basic idea behind battling and catching Pokemon should stay intact.
ThePokemon Legends: Arceusrelease dateis right around the corner, so soon fans will be able to experience it all for themselves.
