For Pokemon fans, the dream of an open-world Pokemon game is now a reality. The developer of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Game Freak, has announced that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will feature an action-RPG model set in the archaic Sinnoh region. A remake of sorts, this region holds a deep meaning for today’s Pokemon fans. Many will remember the original landscape that first released 15 years ago with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
