What is the Hisui Region?
Aug. 18, 2021Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been confirmed to take place in the Hisui Region. This confuses me, as Pokemon has already officially confirmed the game to take place in the “ancient Sinnoh region.” If this is the case, what is Hisui? Is it a Japanese word? What relation does it have to Sinnoh?

The Hisui region is just the older name of the Sinnoh region. Spooky is right.
The blurb for the game on the Official Pokemon Website confirms this:
“Adventure through the Sinnoh region of the past–before it was even called Sinnoh. Many years ago, the land was called the Hisui region, and that is the setting of Pokemon Legends: Arceus…”

Hope this answers your question!
In time, this land of Hisui will come to be called Sinnoh—a region you may know well.
According to the official website, Hisui was what Sinnoh was called long ago.
