Developed by Gamefreak, the game is set in an older version of the Sinnoh region. You will be trying to complete the first-ever Pokedex.<\/p>\n

You will be able to pick between Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as your starter Pokemon. You will also be working with a “mysterious professor” who has been traveling around the world.<\/p>\n

Gameplay allows you to observe Pokemon to learn their behavior, then carefully sneak up, and aim your Poke Ball.<\/p>\n

You can also have your ally Pokemon battle wild Pokemon that you hope to catch. Just throw the Poke Ball holding your ally Pokemon near a wild Pokemon, and you’ll seamlessly enter a battle and command your Pokemon.<\/p>\n

The game also features the legendary Pokemon, Arceus, who apparently “shaped everything in the world” and is somehow connected to your story.<\/p>\n

The game is now available for pre-order<\/a>.<\/p>\n
