Nope, Pokemon Violet isn't really like Pokemon Arceus. While both games are set in expansive worlds, Pokemon Violet embraces a fully open-world RPG format for the first time in the series. You're free to explore the vast Paldea region in any direction right from the get-go. Pokemon Arceus, on the other hand, is more about completing missions in specific areas and has a heavier focus on catching Pokémon. Plus, Pokemon Violet, along with Scarlet, introduces a new co-op play feature, allowing players to explore together.

Kinda? But not really. Pokemon Violet offers a fresh open-world experience that's more about exploration and the traditional Pokemon journey with a new twist. Arceus feels like a whole different experiment, focusing more on the RPG elements and a unique catching system.

Actually, they're kinda different. Pokemon Violet and Scarlet take the series to a whole new level with an open-world format, letting you roam freely across the Paldea region. Pokemon Arceus? More about that mission-based gameplay in a kinda-open world, but not the same level of freedom. Also, Arceus focuses way more on catching 'em all in a historical setting, while Violet throws in gym battles, team battles, and more traditional Pokemon gameplay with a twist.
