When the Pokemon series first popped onto the scene, Game Freak's behemoth franchise centered its message on the notion of players catching every last one of titular monsters. Sure, Pokemon Red & Blue tell the inaugural tale of a young trainer departing their sleepy town on a quest to gather eight Gym Badges and become League Champion, but "Gotta Catch 'Em All" was the anthem.

As 151 total Pokemon became 251, all the way on up to nigh-on a thousand, that goal has been gradually brushed aside. Hardcore players will still do whatever it takes to make it happen, but most of The Pokemon Company's more modern advertising campaigns have shied away from the premise. It's simply too steep a hill.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a sharp rebuttal of all that, a return to earlier times made all the more thematically blatant by the fact that the game is a chronological prequel to every preexisting story. Here in Hisui, catching them all is every bit the quest, Gym Leaders and Elite Four members a distant dream. But it's not enough to catch them — no, you must catalog them. The Pokedex is a fresh thing to these folks, and completing each page will require, among other things, a ton of repeat catches.
