Every Ancestor Character In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
There are some familiar faces in Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Hisui region, and many of its residents are the ancestors of characters from other games.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set in the distant past as part of the Diamond and Pearl continuity; players are sent back in time after hearing from the creator of Pokemon, Arceus. Now in the Hsui region, known as Sinnoh in the future, the player meets with Professor Laventon, who assists them in getting settled in at Jubilife Village as they try to acclimate to their strange new life in the age of Pokemon centuries past. Arceus marks a significant departure in the Pokemon franchise, as players will engage more in battle with their Pokemon - trainers can even be attacked by wild Pokemon. However, instead of instanced battles, players fight directly on the field, encountering them in the big open world, sharing many exploration similarities to games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
