Neue Pokémon-Legenden: Arceus-Filmmaterial gibt uns einen genaueren Blick auf wilde Pokémon-Begegnungen

Pokémon Brillanter Diamant und Glänzende Perle may well have only been around for a few weeks, but the next Pokémon game headed to Switch really isn’t far away.

Pokémon-Legenden: Arceus launches on Nintendo’s platform on 28th January, accompanying the recent Diamond and Pearl remakes by taking fans on a fresh take through the series’ Sinnoh region. As you probably already know, the game is set to take the series in a whole new direction, offering up open world-style sections to explore and battles that play out right where you are, in the open.

Thanks to a new episode of the Cat Mario show that airs on Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube channel, we’ve been treated to some brand new footage of the game today. The footage (seen in the video below starting from the six-minute mark) gives us possibly our best look yet at how these battles and wild Pokémon encounters truly take place.

Wie du siehst, the Pokémon themselves are minding their own business in the wild – as you approach, they become aware of your presence and can attack or be captured. Rather than triggering a battle sequence, as fans will be used to in the main games, Legends: Arceus appears to shift from exploration to battle and back to exploration pretty seamlessly.

There’s lots more footage where that came from if you’ve missed past trailers (siehe hierher, hierher, und hierher), and it’s certainly shaping up to be one of the most interesting games released in the series for some time. Seven weeks to go, Leute!
