History Trivia / PokemonLegendsArceus

* RefittedForSequel: The infamous [[spoiler:unreleased Azure Flute]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' is finally usable officially. The event associated to it is also the same as the one in ''Diamond and Pearl'', except that it's tied to a story event, not a mystery gift.

* IKnewIt:
** When the Found Footage trailer was revealed and fans were asked to guess who was there, some fans figured out that Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark were the new creatures due to the narrator claiming it was "7:06... no, 7:07"[[note]]Dropping the time layout and the zeros, 76 and 77 were Zorua and Zoroark's placement in the Unova Pokedex[[/note]]
** One Twitter user managed to [[https://twitter.com/hikarilovemail/status/1365497672237473794 correctly predict]] that the female protagonist's name would be Akari months before the character's name was officially revealed.
** On December 8, 2021, the official ''Pokémon'' Twitter account posted an [=ARG=] of sorts involving [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Ball Guy]] requesting the audience to pick up all the Poké Balls he dropped on the Legends website. Since one of the Poké Balls that drops on the site has a chance of exploding, many people online assumed that this seemingly random event was teasing a Hisuian variant of Voltorb, which ended up being confirmed the following day.
** Since the starter Pokémon's evolutions [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer were absent in the game's trailers]] even though they're pre-existing Pokémon, people predicted that they would have regional forms or brand new evolutions. The "Hisuian. Final. Starter. Evolutions." video revealed that while they have the same mid-stage evolutions, their final evolutions are different.
** The Arc Phone's reveal, which is rather unusual for a game set a few hundred years in the past, causes some fans to speculate that the player character is a modern-day kid who was actually sent back in time. It was eventually proven to be true.
** A number of fans guessed that [[spoiler:Kamado and/or Volo would be antagonists in some capacity while Cyllene would remain a heroic figure, as a twist on their descendants' roles in ''Diamond and Pearl'' (Kamado explicitly being Professor Rowan's ancestor and Cyllene being Cyrus' ancestor, while Volo is heavily implied to be Cynthia's ancestor). Sure enough, Kamado and Volo turned out to be the game's major human antagonists, while Cyllene stays heroic from start to finish.]]
** Ever since ''Platinum'', fans have speculated about Dialga and Palkia having their own Origin formes to match Giratina's. It was assumed that these forms would appear in a ''Diamond and Pearl'' remake, only to surprise everyone by revealing them here instead of in ''Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl''.
** The PowerCreep that Arceus suffered over the years since its debut (most notably by the likes of Mega Mewtwos, Mega Rayquaza, Ultra Necrozma and Zacian-Crowned) spawned a theory that the obtainable "Arceus" is not the true Arceus, or at least not its true form. [[spoiler:The conclusion of ultimately final quest where "Arceus" joins the player's team after "defeating" it pretty much confirms that the "Arceus" you can use in battles is merely a fragment or avatar of the real Arceus, whose true form is highly likely to be [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm incomprehensible by mortals]] and far, ''far'' more powerful than any other being in existence, even the aforementioned legendaries.]]

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: This game, along with the simultaneously developed ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', both removed Pokérus from the game. This was likely due to being developed during COVID-19, which caused the idea of spreading a virus intentionally for beneficial reasons to be upsettingly close to real life "herd immunity" tactics. Oddly, it is still present in ''Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl'', likely for consistency with the originals, and transferred Pokémon with Pokérus still gain double EVs, unlike in ''Scarlet and Violet''.

** Much like ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'', some fans refer to this game as a spin-off, despite the fact that they are confirmed to be a mainline entry in the franchise.
** Fans occasionally assume that ''Legends'' started life as a proper remake of ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' until Game Freak decided it was different enough to be its own separate game, thus farming out the more "faithful" remakes to ILCA, but this has actually never been confirmed by official sources.
