According to a recent leak, the highly anticipated Pokemon Legends: Arceus would not include beloved mechanics such as holding goods, breedings, and powers.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be undergoing significant mechanical changes, including the removal of numerous crucial features, according to a recent leak.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus will not have unique powers for player's pocket monsters, nor will it allow holding items or breeding, according to CENTRO Leaks on Twitter. Aside from that, the game will include a completely new stats system that will not employ Individual Values (IVs) to calculate a Pokemon's statistics. Candies can be used to boost these statistics, similar to how Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! dealt with incremental power gains. The leaker also mentions that if players wish to capture Arceus, which is apparently the game's aim, they'll need to finish the Hisui Pokédex.

Although many long-time Pokemon lovers may be asking why so many popular mechanics are allegedly missing from Legends: Arceus, this leak should be treated with caution. @Riddler Khu changed their Twitter account to private shortly after providing the information, implying that some of the material was incorrect. Because Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a precursor set in a time when people don't fully comprehend Pokémon, some fans believe that mechanics like breeding and equipment would be out of place. Neither Nintendo nor The Pokémon Company has responded to the rumor.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a spin-off game in which players must explore the Hisui area of Sinnoh, a location familiar to fans of the recently released Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shing Pearl. Trainers will need to travel across numerous biomes while researching and capturing a variety of Pokémon in this wild and untamed region. The game will introduce numerous substantial modifications to the core franchise, with a greater emphasis on action-adventure gameplay and exploration.

Aside from these new dynamics, Legends: Arceus will also feature a variety of new evolutions and regional varieties for a select group of Pokemon. These new forms will not only add to an already crowded pool of pocket monsters, but they will also be able to assist players in navigating the globe. Trainers can ride on Basculegion to cross enormous quantities of water or glide through the air with the help of Hisuian Braviary, as seen in one of the most recent gameplay clips.

The excitement for Pokemon Legends: Arceus is at an all-time high, as the game is set to release exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on January 28.
