Tamed Pokemon don’t always lead cozy lives when they’re not traveling with a trainer; on the contrary, they’re often confined inside their PokeBalls, which are sorted through a computer system. Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes a completely different approach, however. While Pokemon Legends: Arceus characters may not have sophisticated technology with which to study and accommodate Pokemon, pastures and specialized habitats suggest a much more comfortable home life for domesticated Pokemon....
