Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Today, we’re looking at all the unlucky Pokemon who have not been obtainable in any main series Nintendo Switch games.

The Nintendo Switch has seen two generations of Pokemon so far – three if you count the Let’s Go games. We’ve got the eighth generation, which includes Sword and Shield, Legends: Arceus, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. And then there’s the ninth generation, which so far only includes Scarlet and Violet but will eventually include Legends: Z-A when it releases in 2025. With all those different games, though, there are still quite a few Pokemon that haven’t been usable in any new main series titles. To clarify what that means – today, we’re going to go over every Pokemon that has not appeared in Sword, Shield, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet, or Violet. Since Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes, we aren’t counting them for this list even though they are technically main series games. One final note before we begin – The Pokemon Company has clarified that the Legends games do in fact count as main series.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Sword and Shield, Pokemon Legends Arceus soundtracks

It’s been announced that three different entries in the Pokemon series are getting official soundtrack releases in Japan – specifically Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon Sword and Shield, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The full set will debut on February 27, 2024.

The soundtracks for Scarlet and Violet as well as Pokemon Legends: Arceus come on four CDs. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it’s six CDs. Music from all relevant DLC is included as well. Pokemon Sword and Shield has 142 tracks, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has 110, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has a whopping 208.

Nintendo has released another couple of Switch My Way commercials. Between the two, Splatoon 3, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are highlighted.

Both are both adverts:

The Pokemon Company recently released a new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, showing a bit more of the new generation that will finally bring true open world gameplay to the series.

After seeing the video, while I certainly became more excited, I confess that I was also a bit disappointed to see some gameplay elements from Pokemon Legends: Arceus not carrying over. This is something I discuss in depth in our latest video. Feel free to check it out below.

The first episode of Pokemon: Hisuian Snow, titled “Onto the Icy Blue”, is now available for viewing.

This is the new anime series that’s been made to promote Pokemon Legends: Arceus on Switch. In it, protagonist Alec, who is aboard a boat bound for the Hisui region, reminisces about the first time his father took him there. The show will cover Alec’s stories from the past.

The series offers an original storyline. Protagonist Alec, who is aboard a boat bound for the Hisui region, reminisces about the first time his father took him there. Fans will learn about Alec’s stories from the past with three different episodes.

Nintendo has released an update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus (version 1.1.1) that addresses an issue that players were experiencing. This issue has to do with the Shiny Charm – it seems certain players couldn’t obtain it even after fulfilling the requirements. 

This appears to be the only change to the game in this update, and the official patch notes can be read below.

Ver. 1.1.1 (Released March 17, 2022)
Update Details
Fixed an issue where certain conditions would prevent players from obtaining the Shiny Charm even if they met the requirements. After updating the game, players who experienced this issue can obtain the Shiny Charm by speaking with Professor Laventon inside Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village provided they meet the requirements.

pokemon legends arceus item distribution

A new item distribution has just started up in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Players can obtain five Grit Pebbles, five Rare Candy, and five Star Pieces. The distribution will be live until March 31, 2022 at 23:59 UTC.

Grit Pebbles can be used to raise the effort level for one of a Pokemon’s stats, though it only works if the effort level is at least level six and no greater than level 8. Rare Candy instantly increases the level of a single Pokemon by one. Finally, although Star Pieces don’t have any true uses, they can be sold at a high price to the general store.
