Pokémon Subzero Dynasties

Pokémon Subzero Dynasties is a 2023 action role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company as the final game for the Nintendo Switch. It is based on and is a fictionalised retelling of the Boudican uprising and thus features fictionalised versions of people from the time while also including fictional characters and plot elements for the benefit of the gameplay. The game can also be seen by some as some kind of loose prequel to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield (2019) and their expansion passes and as a spiritual successor to Pokémon Legends: Arceus (2022) though similarities to the former are slightly more subtle. It was announced on October 6, 2022 in a special Pokémon Direct presentation before being released worldwide on December 25, 2023.

The game follows the protagonist, a reinforcement cadet for the Roman army during the Roman colonization of Great Britain (referred to in-game as the Galar region), as they attempt to bring peace between the British Iceni tribe and the Roman empire while searching for a mysterious Ice/Normal-type Mythical Pokémon named Elephreeze, based on elephants, snowstorms and partially on Boreas, the Greek god of winter and personification of the north wind, and the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesh. There are four main objectives: the first one is the aforementioned storyline of attempting to end the Boudican uprising and bring peace betwen both sides of the revolt and the second being the subplot with Elephreeze, respectively, while the third objective is to beat all ten of the Almighty Guardians of Roman Britain (Roman Galar in-game) and the fourth one requires the player to complete the region's first ever Pokédex, collectively.
