Pokémon Legends: Arceus Trailer introduces diamond and pearl clans
A new trailer for Pokémon Legend: Arceus introduces the player to the game’s two rival clans. The aptly named Diamond and Pearl factions (Arceus takes place in the Sinnoh region) are the factions you’ll interact with in addition to the previously revealed Galaxy Expeditionary Group.
Both clans share a deep respect for Pokémon even though they are divided by their opposing philosophies. The Diamond clan, led by the daring Adaman and his partner Leafeon, values the present life with your allies. The Pearl family treasures the land, and the leader Irida, along with her Glaceon, is suspicious of the newcomers. The trailer also introduces the Ginkgo Guild Trader, a traveling guild that you will purchase from.
For those of you currently playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Arceus has a gift for you. Players with saved data from either game will be rewarded with a modern Team Galactic set and a research mission that will pit you against the legendary Pokémon Darkrai.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus launches on January 28 for Switch. For more game news, check out the recently revealed Hisuian Voltorb and Hisuian’s Zorua and Zoroark Forms.
