Pokémon Legends: Arceus, developed by Game Freak, is one of the most anticipated Nintendo Switch releases, promising a bold new direction for the Pokémon franchise.
As fans prepare for its exclusive launch on January 28, 2022, Nintendo has announced special bonuses for players who have save data from select previous Pokémon titles on their Switch console.
Players who have save data from Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield will unlock the opportunity to encounter and capture the rare Shaymin (Land Forme) in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
This unique encounter becomes available after completing the main story and reaching the game’s credits, providing veteran trainers with an enticing reward for their time spent exploring the Galar region.
Additionally, players will receive a special Shaymin-inspired Kimono Set early in the adventure.
This cosmetic outfit becomes accessible from the clothier in Jubilife Village shortly after joining the Galaxy Expedition Team, roughly about one hour into gameplay. Save data from Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee! also yields exclusive in-game items.
Players with Let’s Go save data can claim custom masks modeled after the mascots Pikachu or Eevee.
These cosmetic accessories allow fans to show off their devotion to their favorite partner Pokémon during their journey through the ancient Hisui region. This initiative follows similar cross-game rewards previously revealed for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, underscoring Nintendo’s commitment to rewarding loyal players across the Nintendo Switch ecosystem.
With over 20 million combined sales for Pokémon Sword and Shield and millions more for Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!, these bonuses are expected to be a popular feature for longtime supporters of the series. Pokémon Legends: Arceus aims to expand the traditional Pokémon formula by offering open-world exploration, an all-new story set in the distant past, and innovative gameplay mechanics.
Game Freak’s ambitious project seeks to attract both newcomers and series veterans.
By offering exclusive in-game rewards tied to previous titles, Pokémon Legends: Arceus bridges old adventures with new horizons, celebrating the longstanding legacy of Pokémon on the Nintendo Switch platform. For those looking to maximize their Hisui experience, ensuring your Nintendo Switch has saved data from Pokémon Sword, Shield, Let’s Go, Pikachu!, or Let’s Go, Eevee! will unlock these unique bonuses at launch.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022, continuing Game Freak’s tradition of innovation and rewarding dedicated Trainers worldwide.
