Pokemon Legends: Arceus Is Full of Diamond and Pearl Character Ancestors

Throughout the Diamond and Pearl games, five different trainers offer to join you in five different maps. Marley, who you encounter in Victory Road after completing the National Pokédex, is one of them. She very closely resembles Warden Mai.

Screen Rant

Naturally, some of the locations have corollaries, such as Jubilife Village to Jubilife City, but what's even more fascinating are the number of NPCs that appear to be the ancestors of characters in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Some of the resemblances are more uncanny than others, and there are probably many more that require a trained eye to spot. But we've tracked down a number of the most interesting ancestors of Diamond and Pearl characters hidden in Arceus for you here. Minor spoilers for Pokemon Legends: Arceus characters and story below. If you've played Diamond, Pearl, or the recent remakes at all, she will immediately be recognizable to you as the distant ancestor of the villain in those games and leader of Team Galactic: Cyrus. Fortunately, she's not a villain in Legends: Arceus, and in fact goes out of her way to assist the player despite her cold demeanor. The second character you might immediately recognize is Kamado, the serious and mistrustful head of the Galaxy Team.

Kamado bears a striking resemblance to Diamond and Pearl's Professor Rowan, and like Rowan is very interested in the player's completion of the Pokedex. She looks an awful lot like Marley, one of the trainers who joins the player in Diamond and Pearl to overcome a specific area — specifically, Victory Road and the Battle Tower. Meanwhile, Kleavor's Warden, Lian, will look familiar instantly due to his hat, hair, and expression, but surprisingly none of his progeny is to be found in Diamond and Pearl. The two don't have any other clear connections, as Lian uses a dragon-type Goomy, but the resemblance is clear. You can also find the ancestor of Mars' Galaxy companion, Saturn, as a part of a bandit triad you meet in the same area. Check out Coin's hair — it's the same as Saturn's. In the Alabaster Icelands, Braviary Warden Sabi should look a bit familiar as the distant parent of Cheryl, another companion character who journeys with you through Eterna Forest in Diamond and Pearl.

Pesselle, who gives you quests related to Pokemon medicine and healing, is clearly the ancestor of Sinnoh's Nurse Joy clan that runs the Pokemon Centers and even alludes to that future in her dialogue. It's worth mentioning Warden Ingo here, even though he's not exactly anyone's ancestor. In fact, his situation is far weirder.

Turns out, this is the same Ingo that's one of the Battle Subway leaders, alongside his twin brother Emmet. Sadly, Ingo was separated from both his brother and Pokemon when he came back through time. One of the strangest mystery lookalikes in Hisui is the fact that Diamond and Pearl Champion Cynthia has not one, but two ancestors who don't seem to be related in Legends: Arceus, but who both bear a shockingly close resemblance to her. The first, who you'll meet early on, is Volo.
