    I played Shield for over 300 hours, including competitive play. Pokemon Moon, the first game I ever bought, was such an extraoridinry introduction to me to the Pokemon games. However, Legends: Arceus was easily the most rewarding, and compelling Pokemon game I had ever played. The grind to complete the Pokedex was annoying at times, the Noble fights took a few tries to beat, but throughout it all, this game gave me some of the best memories of what has become my favorite franchise. The graphics, while not perfect (looking at you, map boundaries), were the best I'd seen yet. The story literally takes a page out of isekai, minus Truck-kun, and has you saving your own future from being deleted! Characters like Prof. Laventon, Kamado, Akari, Ingo, and who could forget Volo, were interesting. Which is why it is a huge shame how SV had so much potential, but it was plagued with so many issues. If GF decides to release a future Legends game, it would be a step in the right direction for future Pokemon games.

      Pokémon legends was the change I needed, even though I complain about other gens and remakes, I love Pokémon too much to ignore them 😂 scarlet and violet has a good story IMO, but as you say it was plagued with so many issues.

    I am a gen oner , was around for all gens of pokemon , and PLA was the most fun I have had in decades ! PLA brought back that old magic pokemon had , I played it without a walkthrough or going online , the feeling of discovering something new , seeing whats out there , finding secrets , doing a good story , finishing the dex , that moment of excitement when you encounter something you didnt expect.....that was the magic of Gen 1 and 2 for me , PLA perfectly brought that back. The theme was refreshing and that god damn music is amazing ! I truly hope gamefreak gives us more of this style

    I hope they go all-in on the Arceus model going forward. I get that Scarlet/Violet were in development at the same time as Legends, but it's honestly just frustrating to see Scarlet run into so many issues that could have been fixed by implementing the catching and battling mechanics of Arceus.
    I just want them to put all their resources on the next and make an open world game with Legends Arceus mechanics.
    If I had a couple suggestions it would be:
    1. Make Alphas/Boss monsters unable to capture via ball spamming. Makes them feel more intimidating, and gives a reason to use your Team for more classic battle scenarios with higher stakes.
    2. Sky Battles should be a thing. I should be able to engage a Gyarados or Togekiss while riding on Braviary with a flying Pokemon that I have.
    Legends was such a high for the Pokemon series, and then Scarlet and Violet come along and are a new low in many ways. Definitely felt the whiplash.

    Playing PLA for the first time was an experience like no other. I've never felt so immersed in a Pokémon World before.

  • @mrlampy
    @mrlampy Před rokem +7

    I’m really glad that the dissonance between the Pokémon world and the battles is finally being addressed with PLA and SV. Mainly because having Pokémon battles take place in the world rather than being teleported to some random battlefield kinda helps with immersion, as usually if you were to show people your pets inside your house, you don’t get warped to a white void with a tiled floor. Plus, having pokemon actually be seen doing more things than just battling and standing around is fantastic, think of the taxi services in paldea and galar or DJ G-rave hyping up ryme during her gym battle. It’s little things like that, that go the extra mile for immersion.

    I've been a pokemon fan since I was five. At the time I had just started watching the anime and I was OBSESSED with it. Later I started playing each and every one of the games until I got to pokemon Sword, my mind was blown once I finished it because of the story and the smoothness of the game. I had always dreamed of a pokemon game where you could catch pokemon without battling them. So when the trailer for pokemon Legends Arceus came out, I was sooo excited and even after a year of it being out, I still play it almost every day in my free time.

I haven’t played scarlet/violet but of what I’ve seen, it’s like sword and shield 2.0 but not polished at all. Arceus was a little more (not perfect) but definitely polished.

If I had to change anything about SV it would be less glitchy. If I had to change PLA, I would add the underground because of BDSP or I would add breeding back to make it easier to get the starters (I know massive mass outbreaks make it easier to get starters but I can never get 1st stage outbreaks it’s always 2nd stage)

    You know, despite the things everyone says about this game, I think it's one of my least favorite pokemon games on the switch. I heavily agree that the catching mechanic is great and I loved the new pokemon and the new direction this game took, the only problem however was that it didn't take place in a modern time period in the pokemon world. There were no pokemon centers, no stores, very few trainer battles, no gyms, no pokemon league, too many fetch quests that I'd have to do to get special items, a bag that runs out of space(and can only be fixed by paying some random guy to expand your bag which in my opinion is complete BS), and the one thing you're going to be doing most of the time is catching and battling wild pokemon to complete the pokedex, which is something I don't do that much in a pokemon game at all. I know it takes place in the past, but that didn't make it any better for me. I've never completed a pokedex before either and I don't plan to anytime soon. Everything I listed pretty much killed the replayability for the game for me. If you like Pokemon legends Arceus, thats fine, its completely fine that anyone likes the game. I just think that a pokemon game like this just isn't for me. The best pokemon game I've played on the switch so far was Pokemon Violet, a game that basically gave me what I wanted out of a pokemon open world game, even though it removed a few features that were in legends arceus like the catching mechanic(and yes I know violet has glitches and everything but that didn't really bother me that much mainly because I didn't experience that many glitches as everyone else did, like I only experienced 2 glitches and nothing else, and I bought the game on its release day).
    Also, I've been a pokemon fan since 2005, so I'm not new to the franchise.

      Everything you have said I understand and agree with. I love PLA but it’s not a game that has any replay ability. Because of it being set in the past, it does impact other aspects of the game like battling, gyms etc. simply what carried this game for me is the catching mechanics but if I looked beyond it I do agree with what you are saying. Gen 10 has to use the catching mechanics from PLA with a modern setting with your normal traditional gyms etc.

I would at least want it to dip at 24 to be the least from 30 fps and the rest of the gameplay to be flat 30 fps. I say this because I know game freaks and Nintendo is not all about the fps.

    Really up there as the best Generation 8 Pokémon game with maybe Let's Go. It is about as close as we can get to a new Pokémon Ranger. The characters are very anime-like. The areas are separated that you can tell where you are like a field, bog, beach, snow, and a mountain. The custom clothes are nice while somewhat as limited as in XY or (U)S(U)M.
    Abilities working in and out of battles should have been added. It does get annoying that you have to get and beat the same Pokémon to fill the research level. There should have been more updates and giveaways without paid DLC.

      100% the problem is Pokémon is a victim of success. Because of how successful it is, it doesn’t get the time to truly innovate. 3 years and roughly 150-200 staff just isn’t enough time for an open world game being designed with the tech these days. Development is taking far longer for most quality open world games

    Pokemon Legends Arceus WAS a very pleasant surprise for me. IT IS NOT a perfect game by any mean, I don't like how floaty the character fall to the ground, I don't like that we need a pokemon to climb a very small mountain thing, and to be honest, some of the new music tracks are not that great, specially the professor Laventon one. That being said, here are the things I like: the new capture mechanics, the new battle styles, pokemons actually having real contact moves in battles, the player being able to hear a shiny pokemon surround, the craft mechanics, the trainer being in actual danger surround wild pokemons and on, are excellent new features that, I can not see a good reason none of these mechanics were used in Scarlet and Violet. Pokemon Legends Arceus is the very first Pokemon game that was competing in some category of the Game Awards, why I don't see anyone bringing this fact is beyond me. So yeah PLA has most of the inovations I wanted in a Pokemon game, and not seen any of that in Scarlet and Violet was beyond disappointing.

    The game is far from great, unless you enjoy catching pokemon and only that it's worse in every regard. The game needed more time to add more core series mechanics for longevity and make it more fun completing the dex to catch arceus. I was bored to tears less than half way through the game and tempted to drop it but I wanted the new Genie and mythicals so I had to keep going. PLA is a clear 3/10 for me but could have been so much better, im not alone either ad this game is easily the most divisive and tried too hard to be different. If you are down for this style of game good for you, but if they make another one it needs more of the core series mechanics and activities built into it. Do that and have the new catching and you'd please far more people...
