    Pokemon Legends: Arceus?launches for?Nintendo Switch?this Friday, and it’s a markedly different experience than previous Pokemon games. Set long before Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, when the Sinnoh region was known as Hisui and the concept of Pokemon trainers hadn’t yet been established, the upcoming adventure tasks players with traveling around the land to catalog its first Pokedex.
    Although many familiar Pokemon can be found in Hisui, the region is also home to an assortment of brand-new monsters, including new evolutions like Kleavor and new regional forms like Hisuian Voltorb. Ahead of its launch, here’s a look at every new Pokemon that has been officially revealed for Pokemon Legends: Arceus so far. Be sure to also check out the new?extended gameplay trailer for an in-depth look at Pokemon catching, missions and more.
