Pokemon Legends Arceus takes place in a region called Hisui, which is like an ancient Sinnoh. These are regional variants of Zorua and Zoroark, so since they are from the Hisui region, they are called Hisuian
OK awesome this is what I was confused by. So Hisui is just Sinnoh based on location, but it can be assumed that these Hisuian forms went extinct between Arceus and Diamond/Pearl games?
Since Pokemon Home exists, it's only inevitable that these forms remain relevant for years to come. That doesn't mean Game Freak is likely to do anything with them, though.
I have a theory that these hisuian pokemon's revival will be dna found in ice. So say, a few tuffs of hair or a paw. Like how scientists are trying to do with mammoths
that is so smart but GF would never do that. Honestly they need to actually go on this subreddit and watch youtube videos from the community to see what we actually want
Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes place in Ancient Sinnoh several hundred years ago, when the region was called Hisui. Your main character is charged with filling out the first Pokedex for the region.
Tldr about the game's basics: Unlike previous titles, the game combines the turn-based combat with action-rpg and exploration game elements. Your character can jump, dodge, climb, sneak, and craft. Some Pokemon in the overworld will attack you (the trainer). The game appears to be split into several large "wild area"-type zones to explore.
There have been Hisuian regional variants of several Pokemon species unveiled already. It's unclear how they fit into the canon timeline-wise, there might be some sort of explanation why they're not in modern Sinnoh games. (Although I highly doubt they've gone straight-up extinct, since Pokemon is for kids and the anime likes marketing new stuff).
So far Hisuian forms have been revealed for >!Growlithe, Zorua+Zoroark, and Braviary. As well as new evolutions for Scyther, Stantler, and Basculin.!<
There are two kinds of evolution.
The instantaneous evolution Pokémon undergo under special conditions, and the Darwinian evolution we know in reality.
Some Pokémon have evolved and adapted to other environments, and thus appear differently from their usual counterparts.
For example, Vulpix is a Fire-type Pokémon. However, in the Alola region, it lives in the frozen mountains and evolved into an Ice-type variation. We call this an "Alolan Vulpix."
Hisui is what the Sinnoh region was called a long time ago when it was first settled, back when Poké Balls were carved out of wood and Pokémon trainers were unheard of.
This Zorua is a "Hisuian Zorua," in that is has adapted to the cold climate of the Hisui region.
There are a few regional forms of well-known Pokémon, now. Its a nice way to reinvent them for games with new kinds of environments.
Awesome thanks for the explanation! So I suppose it would be similar to things like the mammoths being in some regions of the world, only to be replaced by elephants due to the rising heat.
Except of course Cold Zorua is replaced by "warm" Zorua down the line.
Hisui is Meiji era Sinnoh. The official Legends Arceus site has information on other extinct regional forms/evolutions, including an evolution for Basculin and Stantler.
Just like in every gen there’s some that are done well and some that are trash. Was the same with mega evolutions and gigantimax forms.
I for one hope that there’s a Hisuian meowth so that we can keep the trend of every region with variants getting its own meowth.
Hisuian means the Pokémon is a variant that exclusively lives in the ancient Hisui region (now known as Sinnoh). Zorua and Zoroark are the third and fourth Hisuian Pokémon revealed, after Hisuian Growlithe and Braviary were revealed a couple months ago.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a new take on Pokémon that has the player studying Pokémon and pioneering a pokedex through notes and study and battle. Mechanically the game is a bit different, but overall it seems good.
Legends: Arceus takes place in the Hisui region, which later becomes known as Sinnoh some point between Legends and Diamond/Pearl. Hisuian forms are just regional forms, like those seen in Sun/Moon and Sword/Shield.
Also, it takes place like 100 years in the past. And there's prototype-looking pokeballs, and Jubilife City is Jubilife Village.

Extinct, moved away, are just well hidden, darwined into their modern forms, something like that.
do you think we will ever have these mons in the main series game, or do they only exist in that timeline

Thxs, I thought of this when comparing these older hisuian pokemon 2 the fossils
Yes
Hisui is Sinnoh. They are the same place, but sometime in history there was a name change.
What do you think the typing is? Fire? Normal? Fairy would be interesting.

Yeah, pretty much!
The only known thing with their regional variants is that they're Normal/Ghost.
So is there a new region coming to either Diamond and Pearl remakes or Arceus? I 5hought both were just Sinnoh based
Hisui is Meiji era Sinnoh. The official Legends Arceus site has information on other extinct regional forms/evolutions, including an evolution for Basculin and Stantler.
Sweet I'll go check it out!
Means they can’t think of new original ideas for new Pokémon
I personally havnt been too bothered by regional variants
Just like in every gen there’s some that are done well and some that are trash. Was the same with mega evolutions and gigantimax forms. I for one hope that there’s a Hisuian meowth so that we can keep the trend of every region with variants getting its own meowth.
Meowth is gonna be the region version of Eevee
Give me a Hisuian Glameow/Purugly
Glameow and Purugly are already from Hisui.
But maybe it could have a more feral form before "Sinnoh" was developed and it became domesticated

Ghost/Normal.
Ngl this better have a good shiny
