A '''space-time distortion''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|時空|じくう}}の{{tt|歪|ゆが}}み''' ''Space-time distortion'') is a feature in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that allows the {{player}} to collect rare items and encounter rare Pokémon that are otherwise unobtainable in the wild.

==In the core series games==
{{spoilers}}
From the beginning of the game until after completing [[Task#Missions|Mission]] 18: "The Counterpart", a space-time rift is visible above the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] from anywhere across the [[Hisui]] [[region]], and is said to be the cause of the smaller distortions that periodically appear around the region.

The existence of smaller space-time distortions is first mentioned by {{ga|Akari}} or {{ga|Rei}} at the [[Jubilife Village#Wallflower|Wallflower]] after Mission 7: "The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods". The {{player}} is reminded again of the distortions by Akari or Rei right before they set out to explore the [[Crimson Mirelands]] for the first time. At this point, space-time distortions will become available to spawn. The player is required to venture into the distortions in order to complete the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]], as tasked by {{p|Arceus}}, due to the fact that several Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex are not native to the Hisui region naturally and can only appear within the distortions.

The space-time rift over Mount Coronet was caused by {{p|Giratina}}, who wanted to draw {{p|Arceus}} out of hiding so it could get revenge for being sealed in the [[Distortion World]], which it did with the help of [[Volo]]. The distortions and rift itself are capable of transporting [[Jubilife Village#Single Time Purchases|objects]], Pokémon, and humans through space and time, as happened to the {{player}}.

Space-time distortions begin to form in an area after the player spends a certain amount of time there without resting at a [[base camp]], as any time the player rests or leaves the map (by entering a [[cave]], building, or leaving to [[Jubilife Village]]), the timer will reset. The development of a space-time distortion will be broadcasted with the following message: ''"A space-time distortion seems to be forming!"''

If the player is in a menu, pop-up dialogue, or a wild Pokémon battle the timer for space-time distortions to spawn will pause until they return to waiting in the overworld.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1492311305990070272</ref> If the game is saved after a space-time distortion forms, it will not reappear when the game is closed and reopened, and any Pokémon that spawned within the distortion will also vanish. Space-time distortions will not spawn if the [[weather]] is [[harsh sunlight|intense sun]], [[Hail (weather condition)|snowstorm]], or [[thunderstorm]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1494371604847071237</ref>

The spawning of a space-time distortion is unaffected by the player being targeted by aggressive Pokémon, riding on {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, being in the area that the distortion would spawn in at, or active [[mass outbreak]]s in the same zone.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1492528832942944268</ref>

The percentages of distortions spawning based on time spent in an area are as follows:

| style="background-color:#{{hisui color light}}; color:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}}}" | 40 minutes
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" colspan=2 | 100%
|}

There is a period of time between a space-time distortion appearing on the map and the actual activation of the event. The waiting period is proportional to the distance between the distortion and the player, essentially giving the player more time to reach the distortion if it manifested further away from them.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1577701137901297665</ref> The timer until the event activates is set at the moment the distortion appears on the map, and uses the players current position at that moment, the timer does not readjust to account for if the player moves after that point. The amount of time between a distortion first appearing, and the event activating, can be approximated as <code>distance/2 + 60 seconds</code> if the map is treated as a 1024 × 1024 grid. This means if the player is standing at the exact location of a distortion when it first appears, where "distance" is essentially zero, the wait-time for the event to begin is exactly 60 seconds. Once the timer runs out, the transition is marked by the following message: ''"A space-time distortion appeared!"''

When a space-time distortion manifests, all wild Pokémon within the area of effect (except {{p|Unown}}) are despawned, and items that normally cannot be found in the overworld will appear, including [[shard]]s, [[evolution item]]s, and various [[valuable item]]s.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQITz0sjoi20x6n6MBO4m7XB4vCiQ0862Q4ELiwoDP-KKIZ52c22bqHOfCfWou4KYgAhzKm1cKbgkRj/pubhtml</ref> Within the bounds of a distortion, groups of up to three wild Pokémon will periodically spawn in front of the player. All Pokémon that spawn will be aggressive toward the player. If these Pokémon are not caught or engaged in battle within 20 seconds, they will despawn at that time, and new Pokémon will subsequently spawn. If a Pokémon is hit with a [[Poké Ball]] right before it is set to despawn, the Poké Ball will still attempt to capture it. If a battle with a Pokémon is initiated right as the space-time distortion disappears, the battle will still continue; running from the battle will cause the Pokémon to despawn. All Pokémon and items that spawned in the space-time distortion will disappear once the distortion fades.

There are three designated spots per distortion which contain a single rare Pokémon spawn each. These spawns will only appear when the player gets close, but once they have appeared, they will not despawn until they are captured, defeated, or the distortion ends. The Pokémon that can appear as rare spawns vary depending on the area.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
In the [[Travelers from a Distant Past]] [[story event]], {{mas|Adaman}} and {{mas|Irida}} ended up on modern-day [[Pasio]] through a large space-time distortion. The space-time distortion appeared during the event and threatened the safety of the people of Pasio with [[wild Pokémon]] attacks, but was closed thanks to the powers of {{mas|Lucas}}'s {{p|Dialga}}, {{mas|Cyrus}}'s {{p|Palkia}}, and {{mas|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Giratina}}. Later, [[Professor Bellis]] mentioned that the space-time rift itself was still open, and more space-time distortions had kept appearing on Pasio, though smaller and less dangerous in scale than the earlier one.

In the [[Together in an Unknown Land]] story event, {{mas|Rei}} and {{mas|Akari}} wound up on Pasio as well through a space-time distortion. When they got caught in the space-time distortion and were cornered by a group of wild Pokémon, Akari found a modern-day {{i|Poké Ball}} and used it to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Samurott}}, which she later formed a [[sync pair]] with.

In [[The Power of Dance]] [[costume event]], a space-time distortion appeared in a flashback. Rei, Akari, Adaman, and Irida protected people from wild Pokémon inside it, with Adaman and Irida each catching themselves a new Pokémon in the process: Adaman caught an {{p|Ursaluna}}, while Irida caught a Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}}. Both of them later formed a sync pair with their new partner.

In [[Three Champions|the first chapter]] of the [[Arceus Arc]], a space-time distortion appeared at some ruins where Cynthia and Rei had been training. The two of them entered the distortion to protect the people caught in it until it disappeared.

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, the [[Pokémon GO Tour|Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh]] featured '''space-time anomalies''' (sometimes "Anomalies" was capitalized}. They connected Earth to the distant past.<ref name="GlobalTour">[https://gotour.pokemongolive.com/global?hl=en Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh – Global], [[pokémongolive.com]]</ref><ref name="AngelesTourGameplay">[https://gotour.pokemongolive.com/event-gameplay?hl=en Event Gameplay], [[pokémongolive.com]]</ref> During a space-time anomaly, Pokémon native to Hisui appeared in the wild, including {{p|Pikachu}} wearing [[Rei]]’s cap and Pikachu wearing [[Akari]]’s kerchief. (The normal event had Pikachu wearing [[Lucas]]'s hat, and Pikachu wearing [[Dawn]]'s hat.) If [[Incense]] was used, excluding [[Daily Adventure Incense]], {{p|Unown}} in letters that spelt "Hisui", could appear. (The normal event had Unown that spelt "Sinnoh" appear.) {{GO|Raid Battle|Five-star raid}}s could have {{fd|Dialga|Origin Forme}} {{p|Dialga}} and {{fd|Palkia|Origin Forme}} {{p|Palkia}} appear. (The normal event had regular Dialga and Palkia.)<ref name="GlobalTour" /><ref name="AngelesTourGameplay" />

Depending on the event, a space-time anomaly had a different duration. During Sinnoh Tour: Los Angeles, a space-time anomaly occured for the latter thirty minutes of every hour, and could affect any {{GO|habitat}}.<ref name="AngelesTourGameplay" /> During Sinnoh Tour: Global, a space-time anomaly occured only during specific hours, corresponding to the times for the Ancient Grove and Geothermal Lagoon habitats.<ref name="GlobalTour" />

During a space-time anomaly, the sky changed color and purple triangles could be seen in the air.

==In animation==
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
[[File:Space-time Distortion Hisuian Snow.png|thumb|250px|A space-time distortion in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
Two different Space-time distortions appeared in [[HIS03|Two Hues]]. One appeared in front of [[Jubilife Village]], being watched by [[Alec]] and [[Cyllene]]. Later on, another one appeared in the wild as the [[Galaxy Expedition Team]] went inside to help the wild Pokémon.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Space-time distortions are similar to the [[Ultra Wormhole]]s found in [[Alola]]:
** Both phenomena are theorized to link between other [[dimension]]s<ref>[[Cogita]]: "''The space-time rift is said to be a portal to innumerable other dimensions[...]''"</ref> and {{pkmn|multiverse|other worlds}}.<ref>[[Ingo]]: "''If you fell from the sky... you come from another world altogether, most likely.''"</ref>
** Both phenomena are known to bring strong Pokémon from other locations. In the case of space-time distortions, they bring [[Alpha Pokémon]].
*** Both phenomena can also summon regular Pokémon from outside the current location.
** Both phenomena are related to [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In the case of space-time distortions, that Legendary is {{p|Giratina}}.
** Multiple characters who have gone through Ultra Wormholes or space-time distortions have experienced memory loss.

'''Genetic Apex''' is the first main expansion released through [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]. It focuses heavily on [[Generation I]], featuring all 151 Pokémon introduced in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} as well as the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Kanto]] region. Many of the set's new illustrations feature locations, characters, or from Kanto, and the majority of them appear as depicted in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} specifically, including the designs of the Gym Leaders.

Additionally, several of the [[Genetic Apex (TCG Pocket)#Themed Collections|Themed Collections]] made available alongside Genetic Apex have a connection to Generation I and the Kanto region:
* "First Choice" features the [[first partner Pokémon]] of Kanto;
* "Viridian Forest" features Pokémon found in [[Viridian Forest]];
* "Different Journeys, Different Growth" features the first partner Pokémon and their evolutions;
* "Pokémon of Ancient Times" features Generation I Pokémon that can be revived from [[fossil]]s;
* "The Legendary Flight" features the three [[legendary birds]] found in Kanto;
* "Safari Zone" features Pokémon that can be found in Kanto's [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]];
* "Touring the Kanto Region" features Pokémon in various locations across Kanto;
* "A Big Snorlax Nuisance" depicts the sleeping Snorlax blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}.

Genetic Apex was released as part of the open beta in New Zealand on September 26, 2024, and became available worldwide with the global release of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket on October 30, 2024.

'''Pokémon Legends: Arceus''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス}}''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus'') is the fifth and final [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.

The game was announced worldwide on the {{pkmn|25th Anniversary}} of the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2021 at 12 am JST through [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on January 28, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]] is [[Time travel|transported back in time]] to the [[Hisui]] [[region]] by [[Arceus (game)|Arceus]], who bestows upon them a device called the [[Arc Phone]] and the task of "seeking out all Pokémon". Upon waking up, the player meets [[Professor Laventon]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] working for the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], who tells the player that they fell out of the mysterious [[Space-time distortion|space-time rift]] in the sky above [[Mount Coronet]]. After helping Laventon {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} his three runaway [[first partner Pokémon|partner Pokémon]], they are escorted to [[Jubilife Village]], where they meet {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}}, the professor's [[Professor's assistant|assistant]] and a member of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps. Since the player has no home, the Survey Corps Captain [[Cyllene]] accepts Professor Laventon's request to let them join the organization, offering them a place to stay and food in exchange for working for them if they pass a trial set up for them. To help them pass the trial, Laventon gives the player one of the partner Pokémon they caught earlier. After passing the trial of catching a {{p|Bidoof}}, a {{p|Starly}}, and a {{p|Shinx}}, the player is formally accepted into the Survey Corps and given the mission of completing the [[Pokédex]].

While exploring Hisui, the player learns that mysterious lightning striking down from the same space-time rift they fell out of is causing the five [[noble Pokémon]] around the region to go on wild frenzies and attack people. The player is given the mission to visit and calm each of these noble Pokémon. Each noble Pokémon is overseen by a [[warden]] belonging to one of Hisui's two clans: the [[Diamond Clan]] led by [[Adaman]], and the [[Pearl Clan]] led by [[Irida]]. These clans both worship a deity known as "almighty Sinnoh", but they disagree with each other about whether it rules over time or space. During their travels, the player also has several encounters with the merchant [[Volo]] from the [[Ginkgo Guild]], who enjoys studying the history of Hisui, and the bandit trio known as the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]]. They also obtain a [[Celestica Flute]] and befriend {{hi|Ride Pokémon|five Pokémon}} (each overseen by a warden, like the nobles) who allow the player to ride them at will afterwards. Whenever the player defeats a noble Pokémon or befriends a rideable Pokémon, they are gifted with a [[Plate]].

After the player has managed to quell the last of the five noble Pokémon, the space-time rift in the sky suddenly expands and the sky above Hisui turns red. Suspecting that the player, who fell out of the same rift, is somehow responsible for this, Galaxy Team Commander [[Kamado]] kicks them out of the Galaxy Team and banishes them from Jubilife Village. The player seeks help from the clans, but they both refuse to help in order to maintain neutrality with the Galaxy Team. Volo, however, agrees to help the player and takes them to a secret settlement, the [[Ancient Retreat]], where the mysterious woman [[Cogita]] resides; from her, they learn that an artifact known as the [[Red Chain]] could help bind the world back together and make the rift disappear. To find the necessary materials to create the chain, the player gets assistance from either Adaman or Irida and visits each of Hisui's three lakes, receiving a necessary material from each of the [[lake guardians]] after passing their trials. Once all the materials have been gathered, the lake guardians combine them together to form the Red Chain. With the Red Chain in their possession, the player returns to Jubilife Village, only to learn that Kamado has led the Galaxy Team Security Corps to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] atop Mount Coronet to deal with a Pokémon sighted at the space-time rift. After being reinstated in the Galaxy Team by Cyllene, the player climbs to the summit and defeats Kamado in {{pkmn|battle}}, finally making him see reason and apologize for doubting them.

Depending on whether the player went to look for the Red Chain materials with Adaman or Irida, either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} appears at the temple. However, when the player tries to use the Red Chain on it, the artifact is broken to pieces, forcing the player to confront the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They manage to catch it, but the other Legendary Pokémon then appears as well, forcing them to retreat. Using a clue given by the Legendary Pokémon the player caught, Laventon crafts the [[Origin Ball]], a one-of-a-kind [[Poké Ball]] created from the Red Chain's fragments and a sample of the [[Origin Ore]], which they then decide to use to stop the Legendary Pokémon at Mount Coronet. The player returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, where the Legendary Pokémon transforms into its {{form|Pokémon of Myth|Origin Forme}}, destroying the temple in the process, before battling the player. The player defeats it and uses the Origin Ball to catch it, causing the space-time rift to disappear and returning the sky back to normal. With the appearance of both Dialga and Palkia, the Diamond and Pearl Clans realize that they were both worshipping real deities and resolve their conflict.

After a festival to celebrate the player's success, Volo asks them to investigate the Plates and collect the ones they don't own yet. The player travels around Hisui and collects the remaining Plates, the majority of which are awarded by Legendary Pokémon after they are caught. Once the player has collected 17 of the 18 Plates, Volo tells them of {{p|Giratina}}, a Legendary Pokémon as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, which was banished to [[Distortion World|another world]] due to its cruelty. He takes the player to the ruins of the Temple of Sinnoh, where he reveals that he was the one who caused the space-time rift to appear by seeking out Giratina, in the hopes that Dialga and Palkia's appearance would make Arceus appear and allow him to use its power to create a new, superior world, which would destroy the current world in the process. He challenges the player to a battle and loses, but Giratina then appears by his side and also battles the player, transforming into its Origin Forme midway through the battle. Once Giratina is defeated, Volo hands the player [[Spooky Plate|the final Plate]], at which point the player's Celestica Flute transforms into the [[Azure Flute]]. Volo is surprised by Arceus having chosen the player instead of him and leaves in anger, swearing to one day conquer Arceus and create a new world, even if it will take him centuries to do so.

Once the player has caught at least one of every non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon species, they return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute, granting them access to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges them. Once the player has emerged victorious, Arceus willingly sends a {{wp|Incarnation|fragment}} of itself to join them and grants them the [[Legend Plate]], which allows it to change its [[type]] mid-battle.

==Blurb==
Action meets RPG in a new kind of Pokémon adventure!

Research Pokémon for the Hisui region's first Pokédex.<br>
Catch Pokémon using your battle skills—or stealth and wits!<br>
Answer the call of Arceus, said to be the creator of this world!

==Features==
The game takes place in the [[Hisui]] region, a version of [[Sinnoh]] in the past. It features {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} as [[first partner Pokémon]], and {{ga|Rei}} and {{ga|Akari}} as [[player character]]s. NPCs include the members of the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]] and the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s.

===New Pokémon and forms===
*Seven new Pokémon ({{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, {{p|Sneasler}}, {{p|Overqwil}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}) have been introduced. Wyrdeer, Kleavor, and Ursaluna [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Scyther}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} respectively, while Sneasler and Overqwil evolve from the newly-added [[Hisuian form]]s of {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Qwilfish}}, respectively, and Basculegion evolves from the newly-added [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|White-Striped Form]] of {{p|Basculin}}.
*Sixteen new [[Hisuian form]]s (for {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Samurott}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}) have been added. Other new forms have been added for {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Basculin}}.

===Overworld===
*The player receives a device called the [[Arc Phone]] early in the story, which distinctly resembles {{p|Arceus}}. Using it allows the player to see the map and teleport to certain locations (such as base camps), as well as view their [[task]]s.
*All [[wild Pokémon]] are visible in the overworld like a [[symbol encounter]], although colliding with these Pokémon does not immediately cause a [[Pokémon battle|battle]] to begin. Different species of Pokémon respond to the player differently, with some having no reaction, some fleeing, and some becoming aggressive and directly attacking the player.
**If the player sustains too many attacks from aggressive Pokémon, they will be [[black out|rescued]]. They will gradually have their health restored when not being targeted by a Pokémon.
**The player may catch a Pokémon from the overworld by throwing a [[Poké Ball]] at it without having to start a battle first. However, if an aggressive Pokémon is targeting the player, it cannot be caught without starting a battle or stunning it with a throwable item. Hitting a Pokémon from behind with a Poké Ball increases the likelihood of capturing it.
**To battle a wild Pokémon, the player must throw one of their own Pokémon's Poké Balls at or near it. Hitting the wild Pokémon with the ball from behind will surprise it, causing it to not move on its first turn.
*Particularly strong and large wild Pokémon with glowing red eyes, known as [[alpha Pokémon]], can appear. These Pokémon are always aggressive and have their stats increased in battle. If one is caught, it will lose its stat boosts and its eyes will no longer glow, although they will still be red.
*In the overworld, the player has access to new actions: they can crouch to be less visible to wild Pokémon (although this slows movement), roll in order to quickly move a short distance while avoiding attacks from aggressive Pokémon, or throw certain items with the aid of an aiming reticle (including Poké Balls as well as various [[Berry|Berries]] and other such items which can affect the behavior of wild Pokémon).
*Due to the changes to wild Pokémon encounters, [[tall grass]] now serves a different purpose: the player is less visible to wild Pokémon while moving through it.
*The [[Celestica Flute]] is a new [[Key Item]] that allows the player to summon Pokémon and [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|ride]] on them, similar to the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pager]]. There are five Pokémon that can be ridden on, each unlocked at a different point in the story: {{p|Wyrdeer}} (which can travel on land at high speed and jump), {{p|Ursaluna}} (which can find [[Item#Hidden items|hidden items]] similarly to the [[Dowsing Machine]]), {{p|Basculegion}} (which can travel over water and jump up to two times before landing), {{p|Sneasler}} (which can climb walls), and {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Braviary}} (which can travel through the air).
**Basculegion is unique among the rideable Pokémon in that Poké Balls and other items can still be thrown while riding it; if this is done while it is jumping, the game will temporarily slow down to allow for increased precision.
*Pokémon can be sent out of their Poké Balls outside of battle; while this can be done no matter what the situation, specific uses include using them to gather items from trees and mineral deposits, which gives the Pokémon used a small amount of [[experience]] (depending on the area) and increases their [[friendship]].
**Some trees and ore deposits shake; if the player attempts to harvest items from these, a wild Pokémon will appear instead and immediately begin a battle.
*Real-time (that is, the time according to the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s internal clock) no longer determines in-game [[time]], and the game instead uses its own system by which time passes significantly faster. It is also possible to change the time immediately by resting.
**Every minute corresponds to an hour in-game; thus, an in-game day is 24 minutes long.
**In [[Jubilife Village]], time does not pass unless the player rests.
**Every two nights that pass change the moon phase. The full moon allows {{p|Ursaring}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Ursaluna}}.
*The conditions and mechanics of [[Black out|defeat]] have been changed:
**The player may take damage in the overworld from attacks by wild Pokémon or by falling from large heights. This damage will gradually heal over time unless the player is being targeted by a wild Pokémon. Taking too much damage will cause the player to be rescued, upon which the player will lose several of the items in their [[satchel]] (but none of their [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]) and return to the last visited base camp.
***If the player has achieved [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|First Star]] rank and is connected to the [[Nintendo Switch Online|internet]], items that they drop upon being rescued may appear in other players' games as [[Lost Satchel|lost satchels]]. If a player collects a lost satchel, the items will be returned to their owner's item storage, and the player who collected the satchel will be rewarded with [[Merit Point]]s that can then be used to purchase items at the {{DL|Jubilife Village|Trading post|trading post}} in [[Jubilife Village]].
**Defeat does not occur after all of the Pokémon in the player's [[party]] [[Fainting|faint]].
***If the player's entire party is knocked out during a battle against a [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], their party is fully healed and they are given the opportunity to restart the battle with no penalty.
***If the player's entire party is knocked out during a battle against a wild Pokémon, the battle ends, and there is no other direct consequence. However, since fainted Pokémon cannot be sent out, the player cannot send out their Pokémon (or, by extension, start another battle) if their entire party is knocked out, leaving the player largely defenseless against wild Pokémon until their Pokémon are healed.
*Outside of [[Jubilife Village]], [[Pokémon Center]]s have been replaced by base camps, which allow for purchasing items, accessing Pokémon stored in [[Pokémon Storage System|pastures]], accessing the item storage, resting to heal or change the [[time]], and [[crafting]].
*[[Noble Pokémon]], Pokémon sacred to the people of Hisui that have become frenzied by strange lightning, act as boss battles, with five being fought throughout the story. To defeat a noble Pokémon, the player must throw special balms at it to gradually calm it down while avoiding its attacks. Under certain circumstances, the noble Pokémon will drop its guard and allow the player to engage it in a Pokémon battle; upon having its [[HP]] reduced to 0, the noble Pokémon will be temporarily stunned, making balms more effective and allowing the player to throw them without any risk of being attacked. After completing the story, the player can redo battles against nobles indefinitely, with their fastest defeat of each being tracked.
*Completing a [[Pokédex]] entry now requires more than just catching a certain Pokémon once; [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research tasks]] can also be completed, which are tasks involving the Pokémon (such as catching multiple, defeating multiple, seeing it use certain [[move]]s, etc.). A Pokémon's research level will rise as more of its corresponding research tasks are completed, filling out more of its entry, up to a maximum of level 10 (a complete entry).
**[[Obedience]] has been changed: it is now possible for any Pokémon to disobey even if they are not [[outsider Pokémon]], and their obedience is based on the [[level]] they were obtained at rather than their current level. Completing research tasks and Pokédex entries rewards the player with points, and if they have obtained enough of these, they can increase in [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|rank]], which increases the maximum level a Pokémon can be obtained at without becoming disobedient.

===Pokémon mechanics===
*Similarly to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Effort values|EVs]] and [[Individual values|IVs]] have been replaced by [[effort level]]s.
*The mechanics of [[Evolution]] have been changed. If a Pokémon achieves the requirement for an Evolution (other than those that use [[Evolution item]]s), it will not evolve immediately, but instead gain the ability to evolve, with the player being able to activate the Evolution at any point afterwards by pressing the X button while selecting it in the menu (at which point it cannot be canceled with the B button). Additionally, several [[methods of Evolution]] have been slightly changed:
**Pokémon that evolved by leveling up but also required some other condition to be met now only require for said other condition to be met, not needing to be leveled up (for example, Pokémon that previously evolved by leveling up with high [[friendship]] are now able to evolve immediately after achieving high friendship).
***As in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location|Pokémon that evolve in certain locations]] can now also evolve using [[Evolution stone]]s, but unlike in said game, this now applies to {{p|Eevee}} evolving into {{p|Glaceon}} and {{p|Nosepass}} evolving into {{p|Probopass}} as well.
**Pokémon whose Evolution methods involved an [[Evolution item]] in any way (including [[Held item|holding]] the item while leveling up or being [[trade]]d) now all evolve when exposed to the item, akin to an [[Evolution stone]].
**Pokémon that evolved by being traded without requiring an item can still evolve in this way, but can alternatively evolve by being exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].
*The process of learning [[move]]s has been altered. When a Pokémon that already knows four moves reaches a sufficient level for learning another move, it does not immediately attempt to learn the move, but instead "gets the idea" for the move. At any time outside of battle, the player can freely have a Pokémon forget its moves and learn moves that it has gotten the idea for, and any moves that it forgets in this process can later be relearned using the same method. This effectively means that the player has constant access to the services of the [[Move Reminder]] and [[Move Deleter]] of previous games without having to pay anything for them.
*The player can now freely alter a Pokémon's [[nickname]] at any time outside of battle. As such, they are no longer prompted to nickname Pokémon after obtaining them, and the [[Name Rater]] has been removed.
*[[Ability|Abilities]], [[held item]]s, [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]], [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]], and [[Pokérus]] have been removed.

===Item mechanics===
*The player's [[Bag]] is replaced by a [[satchel]], which can only store a finite quantity of items. Similarly to the Bag in [[Generation I]] games, the satchel consists of "slots" for different items, though the number of these slots can be increased by paying Bagin, a member of the Galaxy Team, at the [[Galaxy Hall]]. Excess items can be placed in the item storage, which has enough space for all items but is only accessible from certain areas.
*Items can now be combined in order to create new items via [[crafting]]. The player can only craft an item if they own the recipe for that item. Crafting can be performed either at a workbench (where the player has access to all of their items) or in any location via the usage of the [[Crafting Kit]] (in which case the player only has access to items in their satchel).
*Poké Balls have an [[Poké Ball (Hisui)|"old-fashioned" appearance]] in this game, with a wooden bottom half, a buckle-shaped metal-colored implement instead of a button, and a valve on top that puffs out steam on a successful catch.
**Poké Balls, [[Great Ball (Hisui)|Great Ball]]s, and [[Ultra Ball (Hisui)|Ultra Ball]]s return, in addition to several new Poké Ball varieties, such as [[Heavy Ball (Hisui)|Heavy Ball]]s and [[Feather Ball]]s.
*Items sell for a quarter of their purchase price instead of a half.

===Battle mechanics===
*The player character can now move around during [[Pokémon battle|battles]]. In most battles against [[wild Pokémon]], the battle will end automatically if the player moves too far away from it; in other battles, such as battles against [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]], there are invisible barriers to prevent this, and in-battle movement consequently has no effect.
*The game uses a revised system for battles:
**A Pokémon can [[Move mastery|master]] its moves by [[level]]ing up. A mastered move can be used in one of two new styles in addition to the regular version: the strong style, which increases the move's power, [[accuracy]], and/or other effects, but lowers [[action speed]]; or the agile style, which decreases the move's power and/or other effects but raises action speed. Using a move in either style consumes two [[PP]] instead of one unless the move has only one PP left.
**Turns have been drastically altered with the introduction of the [[Action speed|action order]]. In this new system, a turn consists solely of one side performing an action, rather than both sides performing an action in the same turn. Which side is able to act on each turn is decided by each Pokémon's action speed, which is affected by a variety of factors, primarily each Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} stat (with a possibility of one side acting for multiple consecutive turns). During the battle, it is possible to check which sides will be able to act for the next six turns.
***Moves that previously had increased [[priority]] (such as {{m|Quick Attack}}) now increase the user's action speed, while moves that previously had decreased priority or [[:Category:Moves that require recharging|required recharging]] (such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}) now decrease the user's action speed.
***The player is only presented with a menu (and thus has an opportunity to [[Escape|run]], [[Recall|switch Pokémon]], or use an [[item]]) when it is their turn.
**[[Status condition]]s have received multiple changes:
***The {{status|freeze}} and {{status|sleep}} status conditions have been removed; they are replaced by the new status conditions {{status|frostbite}} and {{status|drowsy}}. Drowsy makes the Pokémon sometimes fail to move (similar to {{status|paralysis}}) and increases the damage it takes from direct attacks, while frostbite repeatedly damages the Pokémon (similar to {{status|burn}} and {{status|poison}}) and reduces its {{stat|Special Attack}}.
***Burn, poison, and frostbite cause damage after each action by the affected Pokémon, due to the alterations to turns.
***Status conditions now automatically wear off after several turns. Furthermore, having a status condition no longer renders a Pokémon immune to other status conditions; instead, if a Pokémon is afflicted with a status condition, it will replace any condition it had previously. The Pokémon can be re-inflicted with the same status condition; in that case, the turn count for it will be reset.
***[[Flinch]]ing is not present in this game. Instead, moves that [[:Category:Moves that can cause flinching|cause flinching]] in other games will instead lower the target's action speed.
**[[Stat]] changes have received multiple alterations:
***Stat changes now simultaneously affect both physical and special stats, rather than only one of the two as most did previously.
***Stat changes now wear off after several turns.
***Increases or decreases to the same stat can no longer stack. Attempting to increase or decrease a stat that has already been altered in such a way has no effect besides resetting the number of turns before the change wears off.
***{{stat|Accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} can no longer be affected by stat changes in the same way as other stats. Instead, a Pokémon can temporarily obscure itself, which makes attacks used against it more likely to miss.
**The following mechanics from previous games are absent:
***The ability to [[recall]] Pokémon upon defeating an opposing one (the switch battle style).
***[[Held item]]s. Due to this:
****The [[Plate]]s are now [[Key Item]]s, and {{p|Arceus}} must be exposed to them to change its form (with the [[Blank Plate]] also being introduced to revert it back to its [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] form). Similarly, with the removal of the [[Griseous Orb]], {{p|Giratina}} can now switch between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme by being exposed to the [[Griseous Core]], a new Key Item.
****Items that require to be held to evolve certain Pokémon, such as [[Upgrade]] for {{p|Porygon}}, are now used like Evolution stones.
***[[Ability|Abilities]].
****There are in-game mechanics to simulate {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{p|Regigigas}}'s {{a|Slow Start}}, and {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}.
***[[Entry hazard]]s, with {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}} now causing direct damage along with splinter damage over later turns, similar to [[bound|binding]].
***[[Double Battle]]s.
****It is possible for the player to battle multiple Pokémon at once, but they can never use more than one Pokémon at a time themselves. In addition, these battles allow [[Poké Ball]]s to be thrown even when there are still multiple remaining Pokémon.
****In battles against multiple Pokémon, [[:Category:Moves that target all adjacent foes|moves that hit multiple foes]] in previous games, such as {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Bulldoze}}, will only hit one target.
***[[Terrain]].
***[[Contact]].
***[[One-hit knockout move]]s.
***In-battle bonuses due to [[friendship]] or [[affection]].

===Connectivity===
As with other games on Nintendo Switch, the game is not compatible with other games of the same generation. The game supports online connectivity and [[Trade|trading]] with other players of Legends: Arceus, but does not include {{pkmn|battle}}s between players. The game received [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility on May 18, 2022, as part of the version 2.0.0 update.

Any Pokémon brought in from outside of the game (and vice versa) will have their Poké Ball displayed as a [[Strange Ball]], due to the invalid Poké Ball ID not being otherwise recognized in this game. Additionally, when a Pokémon originating from another game first enters this game, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations as of HOME's version 3.0.0, released on May 30, 2023), but its original moves will be restored if it is returned to HOME. The Pokémon will also not have its [[origin mark]] displayed if it was brought from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Legends: Arceus save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] can be transferred into Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In addition, non-Hisuian [[regional form]]s of those Pokémon cannot be transferred in, with the exception of {{alo|Vulpix}} and Alolan {{p|Ninetales}}.

====[[Save data bonus]]es====
Some content in the game is unlocked if the player has save data for previous core series Pokémon titles on the [[Nintendo Switch]] system being used:

==Trivia==
*As stated in the Game Freak presentation at [https://archive.org/details/cedec-2022-game-freak-presentation-2 CEDEC2022], the development of the game Pokémon Legends: Arceus lasted about three years, starting in autumn 2018, and was mostly simultaneous with the production of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
*This is the first core series game not to have been released alongside another version since {{game|Platinum}}. This is also the first core series game to only come out in one version, previous solitary releases having all been [[upper version]]s.
*Other than in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} when the [[DS Sounds]] is enabled, this is the first core series game to use {{p|Pikachu}}'s old [[cry]] since {{B2W2}}, and the first to use {{p|Eevee}}'s old cry since {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. These reversions would continue into [[Generation IX]].
*This is the only core series game:
**To be released in the same year as [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|another core series game]] from a [[Generation IX|different generation]].
**In which [[Trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]ring is not required to obtain any Pokémon.
**In which [[Evolution]] is not required to obtain any species of Pokémon (without trading or transferring); after the Daybreak update, every evolved Pokémon in the game is catchable except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}}.
**In which {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} can be obtained outside of an {{pkmn2|event}} (excluding [[glitch]]es).
**In which the [[Red Chain]] is obtainable without [[cheating]].
**To unlock a [[save data bonus]] in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|a previous game]], and to unlock a save data bonus conditionally.

***Link battles.
***[[Event Pokémon|Event-exclusive Pokémon]].
***[[TM]]s.
***[[Master Ball]]s.
***[[Poké Doll]]s.
***A [[Pokémon League]].
***[[Pokémon Center]]s and [[Poké Mart]]s.
***The ability to cancel an [[Evolution]].
***[[Drink]]s.
***The [[player character]]'s [[mother]].
***A [[game mascot]] on its boxart, although like {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|its remakes]], a Pokémon is named in the title.
***A [[rival]].
**Released during the lifetime of the [[Nintendo Switch]] in which the system is not featured in the [[Player's house|player character's home]], although there is an unused room in the game containing one.
**Released for the Nintendo Switch to not have a special Nintendo Switch system themed after it.
**In which [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] are written from a first-person perspective, being written by [[Professor Laventon]].
*This is the first (but not only) core series game to not feature:
**The full title of "Pocket Monsters" in its Japanese name (though the official website still considers it part of the core series<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ Pokémon.co.jp]</ref>).
**[[Route]]s.
**[[Escape Rope]]s.
**{{cat|Repels}}.
**[[Ledge]]s.
**The option to toggle [[battle effects]] on or off.
**An in-game [[Game Freak#In the games|representation]] of [[Game Freak]].
*Out of the [[Generation VIII]] core series games, this game contains the fewest Pokémon, and is the only one to not feature any additional Pokémon outside the [[regional Pokédex]].
*There are no returning Pokémon featured in this game that were introduced after {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with the only Generation VIII Pokémon it features being those introduced in this game.
**Additionally, the only [[Generation VII]] Pokémon that are featured in the game are {{p|Rowlet}} and its Evolutions.
**Every Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] is featured in this game.
***As of this game, every Pokémon introduced in Generation IV (and by extension, up to Generation VIII) is in at least one regional Pokédex.
*This is the first game since {{g|X and Y}} to introduce [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that don't evolve from or into a [[regional form]], namely {{p|Stantler}} evolving into {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Scyther}} into {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} into {{p|Ursaluna}}.

==spin off==
how is this "core series". you guys over gamefreak that much?[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 17:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
:[[Pokémon Stadium series]] uses "pocket monsters" too, is that also main series?[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 17:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
::Regardless of what fans think, if GameFreak says it is a core game then it is a core game. The language used in the trailer plus the "Pocket Monsters" label all point to this being a core game. Different ≠ spin-off. --[[User:SpinyShell|SpinyShell]] ([[User talk:SpinyShell|talk]]) 18:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
:::do you have the actual quote that has them saying this though?[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 05:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
::::The [https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ official website] referred to it as the newest work of the "Pocket Monsters" series, giving it the same treatment as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. As for Stadium, the [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_np3j/index.html official Nintendo site] classified it as its own separate series. --[[User:Chao|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 07:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::Additionally, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does not use "Pocket Monsters" in Japanese. That only appears in the English name displayed on the Japanese cover. Although how the official Japanese site classifies the games is much more important than the game's title anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::This is CLEARLY a spinoff. It has its own new subtitle, just like "Pokémon Stadium", "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon", "Pokémon Ranger" and so forth. It doesn't match the concept of main series game on any level and no official source calls it a new main entry, they all just say it's a "new frontier" or something like that. The strongest evidence according to this discussion is "The language used in the trailer" and the "'Pocket Monsters' label", but the former is arguable and the latter is false: this game is officially called "Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス" using the western name in Japanese, so it's as far from the official "'Pocket Monsters' label" as you can get.--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::That thing about the site classification too doesn't make sense: being a new high-budget game they'll obviously promote this more, but that doesn't necessarily make it part of the core series, and also that link to the official Pokémon Stadium site is counter-productive for the proposed argument since it straight up calls it "the definitive entry in the Pocket Monsters series" so according to the site that's the most core series ever! XD --[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:40, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::"''no official source calls it a new main entry''": The official Japanese trailer and Japanese site both explicitly state that it is part of the main series (called the Pocket Monsters series in Japan). The official site refers to the game as 『ポケットモンスター』シリーズの新たな挑戦 ("A new challenge in the 'Pocket Monsters' series'"). The game does not include "Pocket Monsters" in its Japanese title like previous entries, but the official Japanese site makes sure to emphasize that it is in-fact part of the series so that people aren't confused by the absence of "Pocket Monsters" from the game's title.
:::::::It's worth noting that this game has several key differences from previous core series games, but it is nowhere near as different as the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon or Pokémon Ranger series. Pokémon Colosseum and XD might be a better comparison (which are also not core series games, but share many mechanics with them). But of course, that's irrelevant, because we have official confirmation that they are part of the core series.
:::::::Roserade57 was wrong about Pokémon Stadium including "Pocket Monsters" in its title, which I think has confused several people here. That is only used in the English title displayed on the Japanese cover; it is not actually included in the Japanese title. The linked Japanese site says that Pokémon Stadium GS (Japanese Pokémon Stadium 2) is the definitive game in the Pokémon Stadium series (ポケスタシリーズ ''PokéSta series'')—Google Translate gets this wrong, but that's why you always need to be very careful how you use it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Being as no one has made a particularly convincing argument yet, why don't we be reasonable about it and compromise? (I realize I'm probably the last person to make a convincing point about reasonable solutions, but hear me out.) I propose we leave the "core series" designation on the page with a [citation needed] notice, and leave the actual determination to when the game comes out and we can judge it on its own merits instead of its advertisement. If Legends has connectivity with the existing core series (Pokémon Bank, or battle/trade capability with BDSP/SwSh), it's at least as much a core series game as Let's Go. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Giratina's Embodiment</font>]] <small>- [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Please don't hurt us...</font>]]</small> 18:33, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
:SnorlaxMonster has already said it above: "The official Japanese trailer and Japanese site both explicitly state that it is part of the main series". We don't need to decide for ourselves-- we've already been given the answer by word of god. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#44BAE5">cela</span><span style="color:#DA7D99">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

But the point made is self-contradictory. "A new challenge in the Pocket Monsters series" and "the definitive entry in the Pocket Monsters series" are both associated statements towards games that do not include "Pocket Monsters" in their title. What's wrong with compromising until we have something a little more substantial, like the game itself, or at least a developer interview? {{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}} 00:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

:There is no contradiction. That was a mistranslation. The one for definitive entry refers to Pokémon '''Stadium''' series, not the Pocket Monsters series.
:As I've mentioned, it's been outright stated that it's the "newest work of the 'Pocket Monsters' series" (『ポケットモンスター』シリーズ最新作). --[[User:Chao|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 01:08, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

So you guys are going to operate on assumptions based on the announcement released a year in advance, without any attempt at flexibility? And compromising to actually regard the game on its own merits rather than what is said about it is 100% off the table? [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Giratina's Embodiment</font>]] <small>- [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Please don't hurt us...</font>]]</small> 01:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

:It's not an assumption when it's already stated in the official website. Core series is defined by how official sources refer to the game. It would be speculative to say otherwise. Besides, the page will still be updated accordingly as more information becomes available. --[[User:Chao|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 01:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Official refusal of compromise acknowledged. You've already driven the bus off a cliff; if you're this determined to set it on fire before it lands, don't say nobody tried to stop you.

On a related note, this wiki needs a more convenient means to respond to sections in a talk page above the latest one. I keep going for the "add a comment" button out of muscle memory. Is there any way to expand the "[edit this page] [+]" to the individual sections? [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Giratina's Embodiment</font>]] <small>- [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Please don't hurt us...</font>]]</small> 02:11, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
:I don't really see room for "compromise" here personally. There has been information released about the games, and so it goes in the article. It's not exactly up to us to decide whether their classification of their own games is valid.

:If for whatever reason the Pokemon Company changes their mind and decides that Legends: Arceus is not a core series game between now and release, we can easily just edit the article to reflect that. Until then, all we can do is go off of what they've said. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#44BAE5">cela</span><span style="color:#DA7D99">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 02:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

==Prequel==
If I speculated it, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the prequel to [[Pokémon Diamond Version]] and [[Pokémon Pearl Version]] as well their [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond|re]][[Pokémon Shining Pearl|make]] and those two main characters are the ancestors of Lucas and Dawn. --[[User:Samueljoo|Samueljoo]] ([[User talk:Samueljoo|talk]]) 04:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Hate to break it to you, Samueljoo, but speculation is verboten on this wiki and I hope I didn't catch you in the middle of trying to add that to any mainspace pages. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Giratina's Embodiment</font>]] <small>- [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Please don't hurt us...</font>]]</small> 14:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

== Subtitle ==

So, just as a curiosity, does anyone know of aught ''else'' that has the title "Pokémon Legends"? Because the presence of a subtitle... raises implications. And I'd like to make sure that's not a disambiguation on the part of the Pokémon Company before I get my hopes up. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Giratina's Embodiment</font>]] <small>- [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|<font color="black">Please don't hurt us...</font>]]</small> 10:51, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
:this is the first title in surely a series of [[User:LetsPlayNintendoITA|LetsPlayNintendoITA]] ([[User talk:LetsPlayNintendoITA|talk]]) 14:13, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't know so much about 'surely', but thank you for confirming that there's no existing items under the name "Pokémon Legends". {{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}}

== Core series? ==

Can somebody explain why is this considered a core series game despite not matching the definition on pretty much any level? It features new gameplay and a completely new type of setting, and also the title "Legends" indeed seems to imply a potential new subseries, with future games set in different regions with different legendary and stuff, in case this is a success. I couldn't even find a single official source calling it a main entry, they all say it's a "new frontier" for the series or that it honors Pokémon "core gameplay" while adding action-RPG elements or something like that, which pretty much explains why it's NOT a core series game. Am I missing something?--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
:How did I miss the previous discussion? I'll answer there.--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

== Player NPC ==

''"For the first time in a new game since Pokémon X and Y, the player character that is not selected appears in the story as an NPC."''<br>
Two problems with this quote. First, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire too had player character NPC and the same goes for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So IMO, this line should be removed, because if it isn't outright wrong, it's at least confusing.
[[User:Horn|Horn]] ([[User talk:Horn|talk]]) 11:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

== Shiny Charm ==

The Shiny charm is obtained by getting the entire dex minus the mythicals to level ten for research yet the way the shiny charm is mentioned makes it seem like you get it immediately after beating arceus which is not true so why does it not say that anywhere on the page? [[User:Chomper07|Chomper07]] ([[User talk:Chomper07|talk]]) 19:17, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
:The article mentions that the Shiny Charm is the reward for completing the Pokédex. Placing it after Arceus was just for convenience's sake. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
::Yes i am aware that it is after arceus for convenices sake but the requirement for getting the charm is different than the requirement for battleing arceus [[User:Chomper07|Chomper07]] ([[User talk:Chomper07|talk]]) 20:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

== Why are we treating this like a core series game? ==

It's completely different from the actual core series. The battles are different, the style is different, and even the attacks are different. Hell, you can't even battle other people. Why are we treating this like a core series game? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:47, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
:Read the previous discussion regarding this. It doesn't matter if the game has a different gameplay style, if Game Freak says it's core series, then it's core series.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 05:27, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

== Postgame Pokémon Availability ==

Hi, I just added trivia to the main page regarding requirements to encounter a certain Pokémon in the postgame. However, I don't know how to add a spoiler tag, let alone to the middle of a section. I could use some pointers on adding spoiler tags. Thank you.{{unsigned|IMDCombee}}

It's a few months later now, and a lot of locations are still not added to the Pokémon pages.(I looked at [[Spheal]], [[Gible]] & [[Budew]], they all miss the locations) Maybe we must add the rest? [[User:CrazyPikmin|CrazyPikmin]] ([[User talk:CrazyPikmin|talk]]) 07:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

== "In which the original form of a regional form Pokémon is unobtainable" ==

I see this trivia item being added and deleted back and forth:

* This is the only core series game:
** In which the original form of a [[regional form]] Pokémon is unobtainable, even by transfer.
*** The only Pokémon with a Hisuian Form whose original form is available is {{p|Sneasel}}.

So I suggest we settle this.

I vote for it to stay. Yes, we have two exceptions (Sneasel and Vulpix) but they don't cancel the fact that this is the first game where we have '''at least one''' species which is '''only''' available in its regional form while the original form is not even present in the game's code. Qwilfish, Growlithe, Voltorb, Zorua, Avalugg, the starters' final evolutions...

:It's unimportant information. When you you make an exception for three Pokémon and have to list them out individually, then it starts to seem so much like not an exception and makes it way more wordier than it needs to be, "this thing is only true except for when you include this, that and this." If that's the situation, it shouldn't need a list and seems like it's not true. It contradicts with itself and shows that there is more than there actually are. It's not just two Pokémon either, it's three, as you have to account for Ninetales as well, this is an important distinction because some Pokémon evolve into something that doesn't have a Regional Variant, including Sneasel, which evolves into Sneasler, not Weavile. The second bit straight up ignores Vulpuix and Ninetales entirely as if Sneasel was the only Pokémon that the information applies to. Also, the transfer bit was added after the first time the information was removed, it's irrelevant and I'm not sure why that was added, as all Pokémon in the game can be obtained with or without transfer or even trade.
:If the information must be added, it needs to be reworded so that it says, "This the only core series game in which some Pokémon are only available within their Regional (or Hisuian) Form." this information makes no reference to the fact some Pokémon can still have both their forms available, and doesn't stretch it with a list that conflicts with the existing information.

Adding a comment after some conversation on the Discord server about the phrasing of This is the first game since Pokémon X and Y to introduce cross-generational Evolutions that don't involve regional forms of previously-available Pokémon, such as Stantler evolving into Wyrdeer, Scyther into Kleavor, and Ursaring into Ursaluna." The current phrasing doesn't appear to exclude evolutions in Sun and Moon which have Pokémon from Kanto evolving into Alolan forms, such as Kantonian Pikachu evolving into Alolan Raichu.

This could be worded better, such as by saying "cross-generational Evolutions that are not regional forms and do not evolve from regional forms" or "This is the first game since Pokémon X and Y to introduce cross-generational Evolutions that don't involve regional forms of previously-available Pokémon, such as Stantler evolving into Wyrdeer, Scyther into Kleavor, and Ursaring into Ursaluna."

== Create a list of hostile Pokémon ==

Why is there no list of hostile Pokémon in Legends Arceus? [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 06:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

== Time Travel or Isekai? ==

On every page that references the opening of PLA (this page, [[Akari (game)|Akari]], [[Rei (game)|Rei]], [[Time travel]], etc.) its stated that the main character is sent into the past by Arceus to Hisui. Is that true though? Looking at Arceus's dialogue it seems more like the protagonist is brought from another world, possibly Earth.

For example:
* "<player>... Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.” <player>... Seek out all Pokémon, and thou shalt find me once more."
* "To see such truths proven anew, beyond the bounds of time and space, bringeth joy to me. I am glad that I chose thee to call to this world."

These lines really seem like the protagonist is coming from a world without Pokemon, rather than being a time traveler within the same world.
I think the confusion stems from people thinking the main character fell through a space-time distortion the same as [[Ingo]], but we can see that the circumstances are different by the fact that the main character doesn't lose their memory, unlike Ingo.

And yes, I'm aware of Bulbapedia's unreleased materials policy, but lets just say the Isekai theory is not ''unsupported'' by such materials. Still, even just going by official media it really seems like the protagonist is intended to be a slider rather than a time traveler.
--[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 20:04, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
: Having looked more into it there are two pieces of evidence against the Isekai theory. One is that the protagonist arrives wearing clothing featuring designs from Alola or Kalos, the other is from Masters EX, where [[Rei (Masters)|Rei]] has the description: "His memories of the past are hazy, possibly because he arrived in Hisui by traveling through time and space."

: I don't think these are particularly impactful pieces of evidence relative to Arceus's dialogue; clothing designs from a Doylist perspective is just reusing existing assets, from a Watsonian perspective is similar designs or even Pokemon merch existing on the PLA Protagonist's original world; and Masters EX is generally considered a separate continuity on Bulbapedia.

: Still those seem like good counter-evidence... Except! In the Masters EX event [[Together in an Unknown Land]] Rei and Akari fall through a Space-Time Distortion into Pasio. Rei states that he "remembers this feeling" and that "I don't remember how I got here this time either", saying that "It's weird... Even though this is the future, it feels kinda...familiar?" and "A space-time rift sent me to Hisui from somewhere else. So this has happened to me before.". Akari says "Then...maybe this is the world you originally came from, Rei!", to which Rei replies "No... My memory is faint, but this world still feels a bit different.". This can be interpreted either as being due to Masters EX being a different world that the normal Pokemon world, or due to being more similar to the modern world Rei was originally from, but Pokemon still existing making it obviously different even with lost memories. Personally, it seems much more like the latter. --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 20:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
::I think that time travel is involved too but i generally agree with this.--[[User:MissDelibirda|MissDelibirda]] ([[User talk:MissDelibirda|talk]]) 21:05, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
::Also, in terms of Masters EX I think I found the most explicit one. In the event Ultra Beast Meet-and-Greet Rei says "After all, if these UBs are Pokémon from another world... I can relate to that on a personal level.". So yeah, in Masters canon at least, seems pretty certain that Rei is from another world. EDIT: Wait nevermind, I'm a moron. "I think some part of me still remembers being a Trainer in the world I'm originally from— the one I lived in before Hisui.", from the Together in an Unknown Land event. Somehow I missed that. --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 21:07, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok resetting the indent, this is the full list of evidence for and against the Isekai theory which I've found.

Essentially there are 3 possibilities for the PLA protagonists origin:
# The Pokemon World in the future
# Another World, which can be:
## Our Earth where Pokemon exists only as a media franchise
## An unrelated alternate world where Pokemon exist but other details are different

Firstly, I was wrong, they probably did come through a space-time rift. It may have been a special kind of rift due to Arceus's influence, but a rift was involved
* Professor Laventon: "Ah, well, you know of that great hole in the sky? The one people call the space-time rift? Our new friend fell right out of it!"
* Rei (Masters): "His memories of the past are hazy, possibly because he arrived in Hisui by traveling through time and space."
* Rei (Masters): "A space-time rift sent me to Hisui from somewhere else. So this has happened to me before."

As for the evidence for and against, this is what I found:

Evidence For Another World:
* Arceus: "<player>... Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.”
* Arceus: "To see such truths proven anew, beyond the bounds of time and space, bringeth joy to me. I am glad that I chose thee to call to this world."
* Akari (Masters) -> Rei (Masters): "Then...maybe this is the world you originally came from, Rei!" -> "No... My memory is faint, but this world still feels a bit different."
* Rei (Masters): "After all, if these UBs are Pokémon from another world... I can relate to that on a personal level."

Evidence Against Another World:
* Clothing: Designs from Alola and Kalos
* Rei (Masters): "In every world I've been in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps me out."
* Rei (Masters): "I think some part of me still remembers being a Trainer in the world I'm originally from— the one I lived in before Hisui."
* Rei (Masters): “When I was in Hisui, I was able to help everyone with my faint memories of being a Trainer."
* Rei (Masters): "When you're somewhere that's unfamiliar, it's comforting to have something that you already know. For me, that was Pokémon. Whenever I saw Pokémon in Hisui–even here on Pasio–I instantly felt at peace."
* Rei (Masters): "Yeah, it's definitely confusing being sent to another world again...but that won't change what I'm going to do." (‘Again’ implies that Rei uses the term “another world” even when only moving through time, negating the fourth "for")

So yeah, in PLA there's 2 strong pieces of evidence for the protagonist being from another world, and 1 circumstantial piece of evidence against, while Masters is a bit all over the place.

As for whether the world of origin is Earth or a parallel Pokemon world, that's a bit more complex.

Most references in Masters to being a Trainer or the existence of Pokemon could be due to being from a Pokemon world, or could simply be referencing playing the Pokemon games. The line "In every world I've been in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps me out." is the one that most heavily implies that Pokemon were real in the original world, but that could be explained by impaired memories of gaming or watching the anime being confused with real events.

A similar issue exists in PLA, where Professor Laventon asks "Ah, but do you even know what a Pokémon is?" to which the responses are "Of course I do" or "Not exactly...". Is it "Not exactly..." because their only memories of them are from fictional media? Or is it because their memory is impaired? Or do they actually come from a world where Pokemon is completely non-existent even as a media franchise and they're just posturing! At the very least, Arceus's line "Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.” seems to imply that the protagonists original world doesn't have Pokemon.

Generally, I think in PLA the protagonist is intended to be from another world, likely Earth, while in Masters EX its made more ambiguous whether Rei is from another world, and there's a greater implication that if he is from another world it isn't Earth.

That's my conclusion from all this, but I'd be interested to hear what other people think, or if there's some great evidence I missed (I purposefully left out the unreleased materials this time, since that's pretty dubious) --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 21:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
:I think in PLA "world" is used as a shorthand for "a particular time and place" rather than necessarily indicating inter-universe travel. For example, after the player beats Electrode, Ingo says that he remembered some things about the "world" he came from, and nobody's arguing that Ingo came from an alternate universe. Under this definition, none of the evidence above is contradictory: Hisui is strange because it's a different time and place. Arceus is glad that it chose to call you to this time and place. Rei thinks that Pasio is different than the time and place he originally came from, and part of him still remembers being a Trainer in the time and place he was originally from. Ingo remembered some things about the time and place he came from. And so on, and so on. It's up to personal interpretation whether the "place" you came from is in the same universe or a different universe.
:As far as wiki content is concerned, I do agree that it's slightly misleading to say just that the player traveled through time. It's stated on multiple occasions that the player came through a space-time rift (which is also mentioned to be how Adaman, Irida, Rei, and Akari got to Pasio by the way), so the most accurate description would be that the player traveled through time ''and'' space.

:: Ah right this line then: "Only to say that I recalled some things after <player> did the honor of traveling with me. Things to do with a world where I believe I lived before my memories were lost."
:: That definetely aligns with Rei's use of "world" in Masters EX: "Yeah, it's definitely confusing being sent to another world again"
:: Yeah I think you're right, seems like it is intended to be time travel in PLA as well. Good to know! --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 19:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

::::::This is CLEARLY a spinoff. It has its own new subtitle, just like "Pokémon Stadium", "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon", "Pokémon Ranger" and so forth. It doesn't match the concept of main series game on any level and no official source calls it a new main entry, they all just say it's a "new frontier" or something like that. The strongest evidence according to this discussion is "The language used in the trailer" and the "'Pocket Monsters' label", but the former is arguable and the latter is false: this game is officially called "Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス" using the western name in Japanese, so it's as far from the official "'Pocket Monsters' label" as you can get.--[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::That thing about the site classification too doesn't make sense: being a new high-budget game they'll obviously promote this more, but that doesn't necessarily make it part of the core series, and also that link to the official Pokémon Stadium site is counter-productive for the proposed argument since it straight up calls it "the definitive entry in the Pocket Monsters series" so according to the site that's the most core series ever! XD --[[User:Kombatgod|Kombatgod]] ([[User talk:Kombatgod|talk]]) 12:40, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::"''no official source calls it a new main entry''": The official Japanese trailer and Japanese site both explicitly state that it is part of the main series (called the Pocket Monsters series in Japan). The official site refers to the game as 『ポケットモンスター』シリーズの新たな挑戦 ("A new challenge in the 'Pocket Monsters' series'"). The game does not include "Pocket Monsters" in its Japanese title like previous entries, but the official Japanese site makes sure to emphasize that it is in-fact part of the series so that people aren't confused by the absence of "Pocket Monsters" from the game's title.
:::::::It's worth noting that this game has several key differences from previous core series games, but it is nowhere near as different as the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon or Pokémon Ranger series. Pokémon Colosseum and XD might be a better comparison (which are also not core series games, but share many mechanics with them). But of course, that's irrelevant, because we have official confirmation that they are part of the core series.
:::::::Roserade57 was wrong about Pokémon Stadium including "Pocket Monsters" in its title, which I think has confused several people here.

Being as no one has made a particularly convincing argument yet, why don't we be reasonable about it and compromise? (I realize I'm probably the last person to make a convincing point about reasonable solutions, but hear me out.) I propose we leave the "core series" designation on the page with a [citation needed] notice, and leave the actual determination to when the game comes out and we can judge it on its own merits instead of its advertisement. If Legends has connectivity with the existing core series (Pokémon Bank, or battle/trade capability with BDSP/SwSh), it's at least as much a core series game as Let's Go.

I couldn't even find a single official source calling it a main entry, they all say it's a "new frontier" for the series or that it honors Pokémon "core gameplay" while adding action-RPG elements or something like that, which pretty much explains why it's NOT a core series game.

It's a few months later now, and a lot of locations are still not added to the Pokémon pages.(I looked at [[Spheal]], [[Gible]] & [[Budew]], they all miss the locations) Maybe we must add the rest? [[User:CrazyPikmin|CrazyPikmin]] ([[User talk:CrazyPikmin|talk]]) 07:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

== "In which the original form of a regional form Pokémon is unobtainable" ==

I see this trivia item being added and deleted back and forth:

* This is the only core series game:
** In which the original form of a [[regional form]] Pokémon is unobtainable, even by transfer.
*** The only Pokémon with a Hisuian Form whose original form is available is {{p|Sneasel}}.

So I suggest we settle this.

I vote for it to stay. Yes, we have two exceptions (Sneasel and Vulpix) but they don't cancel the fact that this is the first game where we have '''at least one''' species which is '''only''' available in its regional form while the original form is not even present in the game's code. Qwilfish, Growlithe, Voltorb, Zorua, Avalugg, the starters' final evolutions...

:It's unimportant information. When you you make an exception for three Pokémon and have to list them out individually, then it starts to seem so much like not an exception and makes it way more wordier than it needs to be, "this thing is only true except for when you include this, that and this." If that's the situation, it shouldn't need a list and seems like it's not true. It contradicts with itself and shows that there is more than there actually are. It's not just two Pokémon either, it's three, as you have to account for Ninetales as well, this is an important distinction because some Pokémon evolve into something that doesn't have a Regional Variant, including Sneasel, which evolves into Sneasler, not Weavile. The second bit straight up ignores Vulpuix and Ninetales entirely as if Sneasel was the only Pokémon that the information applies to. Also, the transfer bit was added after the first time the information was removed, it's irrelevant and I'm not sure why that was added, as all Pokémon in the game can be obtained with or without transfer or even trade.
:If the information must be added, it needs to be reworded so that it says, "This the only core series game in which some Pokémon are only available within their Regional (or Hisuian) Form." this information makes no reference to the fact some Pokémon can still have both their forms available, and doesn't stretch it with a list that conflicts with the existing information.

Adding a comment after some conversation on the Discord server about the phrasing of This is the first game since Pokémon X and Y to introduce cross-generational Evolutions that don't involve regional forms of previously-available Pokémon, such as Stantler evolving into Wyrdeer, Scyther into Kleavor, and Ursaring into Ursaluna." The current phrasing doesn't appear to exclude evolutions in Sun and Moon which have Pokémon from Kanto evolving into Alolan forms, such as Kantonian Pikachu evolving into Alolan Raichu.

This could be worded better, such as by saying "cross-generational Evolutions that are not regional forms and do not evolve from regional forms" or "This is the first game since Pokémon X and Y to introduce cross-generational Evolutions that don't involve regional forms of previously-available Pokémon, such as Stantler evolving into Wyrdeer, Scyther into Kleavor, and Ursaring into Ursaluna."

== Create a list of hostile Pokémon ==

Why is there no list of hostile Pokémon in Legends Arceus? [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 06:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

== Time Travel or Isekai? ==

On every page that references the opening of PLA (this page, [[Akari (game)|Akari]], [[Rei (game)|Rei]], [[Time travel]], etc.) its stated that the main character is sent into the past by Arceus to Hisui. Is that true though? Looking at Arceus's dialogue it seems more like the protagonist is brought from another world, possibly Earth.

For example:
* "<player>... Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.” <player>... Seek out all Pokémon, and thou shalt find me once more."
* "To see such truths proven anew, beyond the bounds of time and space, bringeth joy to me. I am glad that I chose thee to call to this world."

These lines really seem like the protagonist is coming from a world without Pokemon, rather than being a time traveler within the same world.
I think the confusion stems from people thinking the main character fell through a space-time distortion the same as [[Ingo]], but we can see that the circumstances are different by the fact that the main character doesn't lose their memory, unlike Ingo.

And yes, I'm aware of Bulbapedia's unreleased materials policy, but lets just say the Isekai theory is not ''unsupported'' by such materials. Still, even just going by official media it really seems like the protagonist is intended to be a slider rather than a time traveler.

: Having looked more into it there are two pieces of evidence against the Isekai theory. One is that the protagonist arrives wearing clothing featuring designs from Alola or Kalos, the other is from Masters EX, where [[Rei (Masters)|Rei]] has the description: "His memories of the past are hazy, possibly because he arrived in Hisui by traveling through time and space."

: I don't think these are particularly impactful pieces of evidence relative to Arceus's dialogue; clothing designs from a Doylist perspective is just reusing existing assets, from a Watsonian perspective is similar designs or even Pokemon merch existing on the PLA Protagonist's original world; and Masters EX is generally considered a separate continuity on Bulbapedia.

: Still those seem like good counter-evidence... Except! In the Masters EX event [[Together in an Unknown Land]] Rei and Akari fall through a Space-Time Distortion into Pasio. Rei states that he "remembers this feeling" and that "I don't remember how I got here this time either", saying that "It's weird... Even though this is the future, it feels kinda...familiar?" and "A space-time rift sent me to Hisui from somewhere else. So this has happened to me before.". Akari says "Then...maybe this is the world you originally came from, Rei!", to which Rei replies "No... My memory is faint, but this world still feels a bit different.". This can be interpreted either as being due to Masters EX being a different world that the normal Pokemon world, or due to being more similar to the modern world Rei was originally from, but Pokemon still existing making it obviously different even with lost memories. Personally, it seems much more like the latter. --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 20:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
::I think that time travel is involved too but i generally agree with this.--[[User:MissDelibirda|MissDelibirda]] ([[User talk:MissDelibirda|talk]]) 21:05, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
::Also, in terms of Masters EX I think I found the most explicit one. In the event Ultra Beast Meet-and-Greet Rei says "After all, if these UBs are Pokémon from another world... I can relate to that on a personal level.". So yeah, in Masters canon at least, seems pretty certain that Rei is from another world. EDIT: Wait nevermind, I'm a moron. "I think some part of me still remembers being a Trainer in the world I'm originally from— the one I lived in before Hisui.", from the Together in an Unknown Land event. Somehow I missed that. --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 21:07, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok resetting the indent, this is the full list of evidence for and against the Isekai theory which I've found.

Essentially there are 3 possibilities for the PLA protagonists origin:
# The Pokemon World in the future
# Another World, which can be:
## Our Earth where Pokemon exists only as a media franchise
## An unrelated alternate world where Pokemon exist but other details are different

Firstly, I was wrong, they probably did come through a space-time rift. It may have been a special kind of rift due to Arceus's influence, but a rift was involved
* Professor Laventon: "Ah, well, you know of that great hole in the sky? The one people call the space-time rift? Our new friend fell right out of it!"
* Rei (Masters): "His memories of the past are hazy, possibly because he arrived in Hisui by traveling through time and space."
* Rei (Masters): "A space-time rift sent me to Hisui from somewhere else. So this has happened to me before."

As for the evidence for and against, this is what I found:

Evidence For Another World:
* Arceus: "<player>... Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.”
* Arceus: "To see such truths proven anew, beyond the bounds of time and space, bringeth joy to me. I am glad that I chose thee to call to this world."
* Akari (Masters) -> Rei (Masters): "Then...maybe this is the world you originally came from, Rei!" -> "No... My memory is faint, but this world still feels a bit different."
* Rei (Masters): "After all, if these UBs are Pokémon from another world... I can relate to that on a personal level."

Evidence Against Another World:
* Clothing: Designs from Alola and Kalos
* Rei (Masters): "In every world I've been in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps me out."
* Rei (Masters): "I think some part of me still remembers being a Trainer in the world I'm originally from— the one I lived in before Hisui."
* Rei (Masters): “When I was in Hisui, I was able to help everyone with my faint memories of being a Trainer."
* Rei (Masters): "When you're somewhere that's unfamiliar, it's comforting to have something that you already know. For me, that was Pokémon. Whenever I saw Pokémon in Hisui–even here on Pasio–I instantly felt at peace."
* Rei (Masters): "Yeah, it's definitely confusing being sent to another world again...but that won't change what I'm going to do." (‘Again’ implies that Rei uses the term “another world” even when only moving through time, negating the fourth "for")

So yeah, in PLA there's 2 strong pieces of evidence for the protagonist being from another world, and 1 circumstantial piece of evidence against, while Masters is a bit all over the place.

As for whether the world of origin is Earth or a parallel Pokemon world, that's a bit more complex.

Most references in Masters to being a Trainer or the existence of Pokemon could be due to being from a Pokemon world, or could simply be referencing playing the Pokemon games. The line "In every world I've been in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps me out." is the one that most heavily implies that Pokemon were real in the original world, but that could be explained by impaired memories of gaming or watching the anime being confused with real events.

A similar issue exists in PLA, where Professor Laventon asks "Ah, but do you even know what a Pokémon is?" to which the responses are "Of course I do" or "Not exactly...". Is it "Not exactly..." because their only memories of them are from fictional media? Or is it because their memory is impaired? Or do they actually come from a world where Pokemon is completely non-existent even as a media franchise and they're just posturing! At the very least, Arceus's line "Soon thou shalt find thyself in a world strange to thee... A world inhabited by wondrous creatures that humans call “Pokémon.” seems to imply that the protagonists original world doesn't have Pokemon.

Generally, I think in PLA the protagonist is intended to be from another world, likely Earth, while in Masters EX its made more ambiguous whether Rei is from another world, and there's a greater implication that if he is from another world it isn't Earth.

That's my conclusion from all this, but I'd be interested to hear what other people think, or if there's some great evidence I missed (I purposefully left out the unreleased materials this time, since that's pretty dubious) --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 21:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
:I think in PLA "world" is used as a shorthand for "a particular time and place" rather than necessarily indicating inter-universe travel. For example, after the player beats Electrode, Ingo says that he remembered some things about the "world" he came from, and nobody's arguing that Ingo came from an alternate universe. Under this definition, none of the evidence above is contradictory: Hisui is strange because it's a different time and place. Arceus is glad that it chose to call you to this time and place. Rei thinks that Pasio is different than the time and place he originally came from, and part of him still remembers being a Trainer in the time and place he was originally from. Ingo remembered some things about the time and place he came from. And so on, and so on. It's up to personal interpretation whether the "place" you came from is in the same universe or a different universe.
:As far as wiki content is concerned, I do agree that it's slightly misleading to say just that the player traveled through time. It's stated on multiple occasions that the player came through a space-time rift (which is also mentioned to be how Adaman, Irida, Rei, and Akari got to Pasio by the way), so the most accurate description would be that the player traveled through time ''and'' space.

:: Ah right this line then: "Only to say that I recalled some things after <player> did the honor of traveling with me. Things to do with a world where I believe I lived before my memories were lost."
:: That definetely aligns with Rei's use of "world" in Masters EX: "Yeah, it's definitely confusing being sent to another world again"
:: Yeah I think you're right, seems like it is intended to be time travel in PLA as well. Good to know! --[[User:Jump Drive|Jump Drive]] ([[User talk:Jump Drive|talk]]) 19:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
