Having a Pokémon series feature this magnificent game will be exciting to see considering all the new and legendary additions that were introduced in the latest title. It’s likely that the Legendary Pokémon will be a major highlight, but it would be fantastic if Hisuian form Pokémon are dominantly used, like Voltorb that is Grass and Electric type. The return of iconic characters, like Brock and Dawn, will be highly anticipated additions to the series, especially if they possess any new Pokémon from current generations. Can’t wait to see how the old and new characters will interact in this new adventure inspired by a game that has changed the future of Pokémon.  

The English-language version of “Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles” will premiere at a screening event at the 2022 Pokémon World Championships in London on August 19 (available on a first-come, first-served basis).

Whereas most Superhero fans grew up with DC Comics and Marvel, my childhood was surrounded by releases from Saban Entertainment such as Beetleborgs, along with anime, and other various fads of the generation. Anime is also a great passion with Digimon, That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, and Demon Slayer being significant favorites. It was the love of both Power Rangers and Digimon that led to the path of becoming a Senior Writer for The Illuminerdi.
