In a moment that’s too cute for words, a Pokémon Legends: Arceus player gets booped by a friendly Buizel. This lovable seal-like Water-type Pokémon was first introduced in 2006’s Pokémon Diamond And Pearl and has been a fairly popular edition to Nintendo's ever-growing assortment of collectible monsters ever since. Aside from being included in every mainline Pokémon game from Generation IV onward, Buizel has appeared in spin-off titles like Pokémon Rumble and later Mystery Dungeon games, as well as tie-in media like the long-running Pokémon anime series.
Meanwhile, Pokémon Legends: Arceus has just been released on the Nintendo Switch this weekend and tasks players with roaming the ancient Hisui Region on a mission to complete the world's first PokéDex. This includes seeking out never-before-seen Hisuian variants of Pokémon like Voltorb and Zoroark, and there are even gigantic versions of Pokémon series mainstays like Machoke. Pokémon freely wander the landscape in Arceus, with the more aggressive species attacking players who enter their territory. Capturing these wild creatures is the name of the game in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, as some can be ridden to help make the journey across Hisui easier while others are happy enough to give their newfound trainers a loving boop on the nose.
