Instruction booklets were a staple with every video game at one point. Now very few games come with booklets, with manuals usually being reserved for collector's editions. But some gamers keep the idea alive by creating their own video game instruction manuals, just as one player did for their physical edition of Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Instruction booklets usually came with helpful advice for players when they purchased physical editions of games. Along with basic information such as controls, the books would also come with tips, lore, and artwork. They were usually a good introduction to the game before a player even inserted the cartridge or disc into their consoles. While the booklets have fallen to the wayside, many players still have fond memories of these books coming with their games.

One Redditor going by the handle of RomeuForte harkened back to the days of instruction booklets by creating one for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. They printed it on double-sided glossy paper, giving the booklet a nice sheen. The manual is reminiscent of the one that came with the original Pokemon Red and Blue, as it provides information on the game's region and some of the Pokemon that can be found.
RomeuForte's booklet shares information on the game's protagonists and has detailed information on the starters in Pokemon Legends Arceus. The book also opens up into a full-sized poster featuring the cover art for the game. It is a great homage to the manuals that used to come with games and holds a great amount of nostalgia for those who grew up with them.
