Pokémon Legends: Arceus launched on Nintendo Switch on this day in 2022 and quickly became one of the franchise’s boldest experiments. Set in the Hisui region, the game ditched many long-standing traditions in favor of open exploration, real-time catching and a stronger focus on research over gym battles. Its mix of action and RPG systems reshaped how players interacted with Pokémon in the wild and influenced later series entries. Four years later, Legends: Arceus is still remembered as a turning point that proved the series could evolve without losing its core appeal.
