Pokemon Legends Arceus: Are there Gyms in Hisui?

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a unique entry in the Nintendo Franchise. Players are waiting for the game with high expectations.

The story takes place in an ancient time when Sinnoh Region was known as Hisui, many years before Trainers. A land filled with exotic Pokemon all around.

The game's primary goal is to capture Pokemon to create the first Pokedex in history. Players take on the role of a young person exploring unknown territory.

But many trainers will be lost without the structure of previous games, including the answer to one important question - are there gyms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus?

Are there Gyms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus?

Instead of following the typical formula with Trainers traveling from Gym to Gym to collect Badges and win tournaments, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is taking the experience back to when there was no Pokemon League. This means there are no gyms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

This also means a time when people didn't catch Pokemon for training. Instead, it's a time of exploration, discovery, and battling the wild.

Nonetheless, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will introduce a similar system that will allow players to follow a storyline. For example, in the Huisi Region, there are Noble Pokemon. A human Warden protects each of these Pokemon.

Noble Pokemon

Noble Pokemon are special Pokemon that have received a special blessing. Therefore, the People of Hisui respect them and see them with admiration.
