Pokémon Legends: Arceus has plenty of new faces for you to meet next month

Now that the Pokémon remakes Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are out the door, it is time to look towards the next Pokémon game and while that would normally mean end of the next year, with Pokémon Legends: Arceus it means the start of the year instead.

While we have seen some bits and pieces over the past few months, the newest trailer for the game introduces players to entirely new clans and folks, that you will have to deal with as you venture around the world of Sinoh, check out the new trailer below.

Here is a little bit of information, as well as the official character artwork for each of the clan leaders:

Adaman serves as the leader of the Diamond Clan and has Leafeon as his partner Pokémon.​
This daring young man hates to see time go to waste and likes to rush forward without worrying too much about particulars.

Irida serves as the leader of the Pearl Clan, and her partner Pokémon is Glaceon.​
As a leader, she feels it is important to have the courage to face the vast Hisui region. Though she is suspicious when first meeting people, she will slowly come to trust the player thanks to the help they provide in quelling the noble Pokémon.​

It isn’t just new clans you will encounter, ​a group of merchants known as the Ginkgo Guild also operates in the Hisui region. Not native to Hisui, members of the Ginkgo Guild travel around the various locations of the region, selling the wares they have gathered.​ Below you can see the artwork for Glinter, the one sitting and Volo, the one standing.

Finally, if you have save data for either Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl on your Switch, you will be able to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai, as well as pick up an exclusive outfit themed to Team Galactic.
