Much of the information revealed about the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Arceus suggests that the game will contain many different features compared to mainline Pokémon games, but one feature not yet confirmed is whether or not the game will feature Gym Leaders. With what is known about the plot and setting of Pokémon Legends: Arceus so far, their inclusion seems unlikely.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is set in the Hisui Region, an ancient region in the same area as the modern Sinnoh. Players will take on the role of a field researcher, gathering information by venturing out and interacting with Pokémon. This is a departure from a traditional Pokémon plot in which trainers travel around challenging Gym Leaders for badges, and it is possible that this is because there simply are no Gym Leaders around to challenge.
Because Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes place in the distant past, it predates the creation of any sort of Pokémon League in Hisui. Aside from communities like Jubilife Village, the terrain of Hisui seems mostly unsettled, teeming with wild Pokémon. With the region still in its developmental phase, there is no Pokémon League with Gyms and Trainers, and thus there doesn’t seem to be any place for Gym Leaders. Unlike other games in the series, where a trainer’s ultimate goal is to defeat Gym Leaders and become Champion, the player’s main task in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is to explore Hisui and complete the region’s first Pokédex as a member of the Galaxy Team’s Survey Corps. This new goal potentially does away with the old necessity of Gym Leaders, providing a different kind of challenge.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus May Replace Gym Leaders With Wardens & Noble Pokémon
It is possible that Pokémon Legends: Arceus will replace Gym Leaders with battles against Noble Pokémon, a unique feature to Arceus. These special Pokémon are considered quite powerful, and players can encounter them throughout the region. With the reveal that some of these Noble Pokémon can be fought like bosses, it could be inferred that they will provide the kind of ongoing goals and challenges that might take the place of the Gym Leaders missing from the standard formula. In that sense, Noble Pokémon could be similar to the Totem Pokémon of Pokémon Sun and Moon’s Island Challenge.
More than likely, Pokémon Legends: Arceus will not contain Gym Leaders, but even so, the reveal of NPCs known as Wardens that look after Noble Pokémon could also hint at the possibility of Gym Leader-like Trainers. Since Wardens can engage the player in traditional Pokémon battles, they too could be Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ version of Gym Leaders or Trial Captains, though not enough information has been released to say for certain.
