Pokemon Legends: Arceus gives players the options to switch over to a first-person perspective, a first for the Pokemon game franchise. The new Pokemon game provides a radically different take on many of the mechanics that we’ve seen in every Pokemon game since the beginning of the franchise. For instance, players can now choose to toss Poke Balls at Pokemon at will, although a Pokemon can only be caught when it’s not actively attacking (or attempting to attack) the player. Because players can also move around as they chuck Poke Balls or other objects at a wild Pokemon, Pokemon Legends: Arceus also includes a “focus” feature so that a player can automatically lock onto a wild Pokemon while trying to avoid their attacks. This focus feature comes with an unintended side perk to it – when players don’t have a wild Pokemon to focus on, they can enter into a first person camera mode.
