Pokemon legends arceus is a spin off prequel taking place before the events of diamond and pearl as its set in the hisui region long before you see it today with a more feudal Japanese setting. As such the game had a pretty interesting focus on what was life like with pokemon in the past and more into the world of pokemon than ever before.

Your character suddenly wakes up one day in the Hsui region and is taken in by the galaxy team and your job is to work with them as well as the feuding diamond and pearl clans to solve the time rift issue that’s going on as well as document and keep track of many pokemon for the pokedex.
For the most part characters like Arzeru and Adaman were pretty fun and enjoyable to interact with others like Melli they were particularly not only the worst written characters in a pokemon game since they did not really do much of anything, but honestly one of the most unlikable characters in video game history rivaling Jasper Blatt Jr In No More Heroes since both were really obnoxious and annoying any time they got screen time.
Theres a dialogue choice feature but the story plays the same no matter what so it really shouldn’t have been there really.
Lots of pokemon from diamond and pearl return but sadly not all of them do and its only 200 and something pokemon which is still quite less compared to what the other games had in the past.
Now for the pokedex you have to complete tasks which is either capturing,defeating or any miscelaous task given to you to fill up and the more points you get the higher you move up in the galaxy team hierarchy to acess more areas and also even be able to control more powerful pokemon as well too with recipies for more powerful pokeballs and also you can craft other items like medicine as well too.
The world is open ended and much linear than say, Breath Of The Wild yet still fun to explore and discover stuff and you’re also able to fast travel and set up camp with side quests and the world design especially in cobalt and the mountains were really well made and very fun to explore around.
