Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- ... that following its announcement, Pokémon Legends: Arceus was compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Source: Polygon: "people online were quick to compare the game to another incredibly popular Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"; Washington Post: 'The game appears to take aesthetic inspiration from “Breath of the Wild,”'
- ALT1: ... that instead of developing the remakes to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Game Freak is working on the open world title Pokémon Legends: Arceus instead? Source: DualShockers: "The studio is not developing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but they have a good reason – Game Freak will instead be working on a new open-world RPG called Pokemon Legends: Arceus"

- Comment: Other hooks are welcome - I'm trying to refrain from adding too much though since a lot will involve Pokémon knowledge that may not be common knowledge. Optionally, this can be a double DYK with the ALT1.

- I prefer ALT1 over ALT0, but consider this: ALT2: ... that despite taking place in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl's Sinnoh region, none of the available starter Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are from there? Source: Screen Rant: "In fact, it appears that the original Gen 4 starters will be ordinary wild Pokémon." Anarchyte (talk • work) 05:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
I think the first hook has the most potential for "hookiness", as it mixes a couple of popular topics, but would recommend a minor GR tweak and a mention of Switch:
- ALT0.1: ... that after Pokémon Legends: Arceus was announced, users pointed out it was very similar to another hit game on the Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
Otherwise, all is good to go. Long enough, new enough, well cited, and all of the hooks above are directly cited so the admins can take their pick. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
