What you need to know
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an open-world game set in an ancient version of Sinnoh called the Hisui region.
Having save data for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will grant Legends: Arceus players bonuses.
These bonuses include the opportunity to catch Darkrai and obtain Team Galactic-themed outfits.
Pokémon fans have been waiting for an open-world game for a long time, in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Finally, The Pokémon Company announced their newest game, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This game takes place in ancient Sinnoh, a region which used to be called Hisui. This region is home to regional variants of Pokémon we all know and love, like Hisuian Voltorb and Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark.
Playing Legends: Arceus also gives players access to special content if they have save data from Pokémon Sword and Shield or from Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee, like access to Shaymin alongside special outfits.
If you happened to purchase Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you’re in luck. Exclusive content is coming to players with save data from these games.
