New Pokemon Legends Designs Have Leaked (Spoilers)

Every unrevealed new Pokemon design in the upcoming game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has now been datamined by players who got the game early, with the leaks being uploaded to the internet.

This includes all the new regional forms, new region exclusive evolutions, and even a couple of new Pokemon overall.

Spoilers for the Pokemon Legends Leaks Below:

The full list of new Pokemon Legends leaks include (unrevealed pokemon highlighted):

• Hisuian Decidueye
• Hisuian Typhlosion
• Hisuian Samurott
• Hisuian Growlithe
• Hisuian Arcanine
• Hisuian Voltorb
• Hisuian Electrode
• Kleavor
• Hisuian Qwilfish
• Overqwil
• Hisuian Sneasal
• Sneasler
• Ursaluna
• Wyrdeer
• Hisuian Lilligant
• Basculin (White Stripe)
• Basculegion
• Hisuian Zoroa
• Hisuian Zoroark
• Hisuian Braviery
• Hisuian Avalugg
• Hisuian Sligoo
• Hisuian Goodra
• Enamorus (Incarnate)
• Enamorus (Therian)
• Dialga (origin form)
• Palkia (origin form)

The new Pokemon, as always, have received a mixed reception from fans. some players think they look good while others consider them to be ugly or badly designed. It should be noted that so far the only images we have of the new Pokemon are the raw 3D models seen above from the datamine. Chances are they’ll look better when we see them in the game and with their full Ken Sugimori artwork.

Being a game based on Meiji Era Japan, the Hisuian forms are heavily based on Japanese mythological yokai or cultural figures, like Hisuian Decideueye being based on a ronin samurai, Hisuian Zoroark being based on a kitsune and Hisuian Goodra being based on a Shussebora, a dragon yokai that lives in a seashell.

The strangest change however are with the two Sinnoh Legendaries, Dialga and Palkia, who have now been given some rather uncanny horse-like legs. Many have deduced that this is because, at some point in the game, they will be fused with Arceus, similar to how Kyurem fuses with Reshiram and Zekrom in Pokemon Black and White 2.

Which is your favorite of the new regional variants?

Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be available on the 28th of January 2021.
