Pokemon Legends: Arceus Completely Contradicts a Big Pokemon Rule

gamerant.com:

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has proven to be a big hit in the Pokemon community, with many fans enjoying how it breaks away from established franchise traditions and series norms. Besides simply making changes to the main series Pokemon formula, Pokemon Legends: Arceus also makes some changes to established lore, which has proven to be slightly more controversial in the community.

For example, Pokemon Legends: Arceus retcons the lore behind Poke Balls. Originally, it was believed that Poke Balls converted Pokemon to energy to store them inside the ball. However, Pokemon Legends: Arceus claims that Pokemon are shrunk to a small size whenever they're captured in a Poke Ball. This is rather strange for a number of reasons, but it's just one example of how Pokemon Legends: Arceus changes what fans know about the Pokemon franchise.

Another change has to do with tall grass. One of the very first things that Pokemon fans learn in the original Pokemon Red and Blue games is that tall grass is a dangerous place to be in the world of Pokemon. It's in tall grass where Pokemon encounters happen, and a Pokemon trainer without a sufficient team could very well find themselves attacked and defeated by hostile Pokemon. Pokemon Legends: Arceus goes the exact opposite route, however.

While tall grass is presented as the dangerous place where Pokemon spawn in other Pokemon games, Pokemon Legends: Arceus encourages players to hide in the tall grass to avoid dangerous Pokemon or sneak up on them. This can give Pokemon Legends: Arceus players an advantage when they get the drop on an unsuspecting Pokemon, as the tall grass hides the Pokemon trainer from view.
