Pokémon Legends: Arceus is set to launch next year and is also set in the Sinnoh region but is apparently set in the past. Arceus is said to stray away from the traditional RPG elements Pokémon games are known for as it will mix RPG and action elements.
Here’s how The Pokémon Company describes Pokémon Legends: Arceus:
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the Pokemon series takes a bold new direction, fusing action with RPG elements. The game takes place in the Sinnoh region of the past, long before the events of Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version. As the game’s protagonist, the player will set out to create and complete the region’s first Pokedex by catching, surveying, and researching the wild Pokemon that live there.
