Pokemon Legends Arceus: a game where God yeets you into the past but compensates you with a nice new phone
Also, God is a Pokémon.
It doesn't even need a charger!
"Hey, sorry for sending you into prehistory. Have an iPhone 14."
In another world with my smart phone
The arse phone!
Shen: "Oh my God, it's isekai Pokémon"
Mystery Dungeon games: "Yeah, it happens a lot"
Exactly what I was thinking, this is the 5th time Pokémon has done this lol
@@CallieBlader no, time travel is still considered isekai, it’s actually a way more common trope than some people realize.
This isn't the first beach I'v woken up half drowned on and it won't be the last
@@CallieBlader Big difference between voluntary time travel and God saying "Fuck you in particular" then yeeting you into the past, memory wiping you and getting you to do some nebulous task completely unprepared
But at least you get a sweet phone I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@CallieBlader No, seriously look it up, time travel is indeed considered isekai. A different time is basically a different world after all, even if it’s technically the same.
Akari: "Shinx has an aggressive disposition. Could you already tell that?"
*Not at all*
Akari: >:(
I love how the player pogs whenever they see something new.
I mean, she did get bodied by one.
Well now she has an agressive disposition.
I always find it hilarious which pokemon are on sight when you see them and they're the most unlikely ones. Shinx being one. Paras being another one. Hell Krickitune follows you around and just looks at you the whole time
@@darknesswave100 Machoke just likes flexing.
I love how Laventon says that nobody has “mastered” using the pokeball yet, as if no one knows that you have to throw the fucking thing
They just stare at the ball confused at its sorcery
I mean the one lady is scared of a Starly. So we're essentially dealing with a bunch of freaking wimps
"Mastering" is different from "using". Clearly you throw the thing but he's saying nobody is pitching these things like they're pro baseball players.
Its all in the wrist! Hop wasn't training for nothing.
@@darknesswave100 I mean at least it's not a pack of Spearows a
I love the professors outfit. It’s stupid and odd, exactly the way a genius who has no other social understandings would dress. If a guy is willing to wear his lab coat over a vest, stripped pants, and a hat with like that. You know he is truest focused on his work.
All his braincells are directed at studying pokemon, none left for fashion
He's also considered an oddball in the settlement because of his interest in pokemon, so I like that his outfit reflects that
@@zeppie_ Also, as far as I can tell he is the only character we know of that is from the as-of-yet non-existent India region. Maybe some people from Galar are from there too, Rose being a good candidate.
We know this because 1) In Raichu's dex entry in FireRed says it has the voltage to take out an Indian elephant, 2) in this game, Laventon writes that Raichu has the voltage to take out a Copperajah from his homeland, and 3) in Copperajah's dex entry in Sword, it says Copperajah came from a different region than Galar.
He calls himself a Pokemon professor when he isn't even named after a tree or bush. What a poser, an absolute charlatan.
People keep harping on his hat, but as a Canadian, silly but warm hats with massive pompoms are just normal attire.
@@pwojo9776 Well, Laventon is pretty close to Lavender. His Claydol beanie is lavender colored.
Ok so I haven't touched Pokémon in like 4 years, and haven't seen a single thing related to this game, but in less than 5 minutes this game has already done the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon trope, the introduction to nearly every Isekai ever, gives the player a god phone, picked my three favourite starters, and changed the fundamentals that the entire franchise based every single mainline game on. Holy SHIT
Game could've used more animations and better graphics, but it is for sure a step into the right direction. First pokemon game I played and finished in a long time.
i really hope game freak does more like this game, for real
I like how if you get too close to an enemy Pokemon during a battle, they're basically like "Can you fucking not?"
THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED INTO ANOTHER WORLD WITH MY PHONE THAT I CAN CALL GOD WITH?!?! AND WITH CREATURES CALLED POKEMON WHICH YOU CAN ENSLAVE WITH A SPHERICAL OBJECT CALLED POKEBALLS!!
8/10 would read again but the font should've been Georgia pro instead of times new Calica
I may sound pedantic here....but this is time travel, different genre from Isekai
In another world with my smartphone
@@garreonlefay6703 traveling into the fantasy world aspect is the most popular but time traveling into a different world is also a form of isekai
@@MinimumOverdrive1 I mean, ok again I may sound pedantic, the protagonist of the Pokemon world is going to the past of his world....does that really count as Isekai or is it just Time Travel? Sounds like Time Travel to me. I mean, the protagonist has no issues with pokemon, because they come from a time when pokemon and humans more or less coexist in harmony.
EvenAkari/Rei lampshade that fact and find it incredible that the protagonist has no hesitation or fear of pokemon
12:05 "Look at this Rowlet.. it's dead" and then it SMASH cuts to Cyllene looking angry. Love this so much
Pokedex entries for most Pokemon in this game: This Pokemon likes this, lives here, and does that. It is very neat.
Pokedex entries for the Porygon line: What the fuck? What the *fuck* ? What the absolute fuck?
Meanwhile with the entries for the Magnemite line: This is fine, this is normal, I'm fine with this, also we have radio.
I'm also surprised Shen didn't just make B-lines for places where there were Pokemon she wanted. Eevee is pretty easy to get in the starting zone, as well as the methods to evolve most of the Eeveelutions; you could easily have a team full of babies. Goomy and it's evolutions are also easy to get in the swamp zone, as well as Murkrow and Honchkrow (there's placed alpha spawns for Sliggoo and Honchkrow in fairly easy to reach areas; the fights may be tough as shit depending on your level and team but otherwise it's fairly easy).
Tbf, you can find the Magnemite line normally in places, so it makes some sense. Porygon is pure computer data somehow materialized into a physical form, so those reactions especially make sense.
(Also, I love Porygon-Z's dex entry so much, idk why I find it as funny as I do. Lol)
@@Cuprite1024 This worries me
Yeah eevee is really easy to find. I was pissed that I couldn't use an umbreon (my all time favorite pokemon) in BDSP till the damn postgame so I immediately got an eevee and evolved it before I crossed the first bridge 😅
@@darknesswave100 My team by the end was Samurott named Ronin, a Leafeon named Matcha (all my eeveelutions are named after food; there's Matcha, Rem, Sakura, Choco, Soba, Mochi, Azuki, and Aisu), an alpha Honchkrow named Hibari (a reference to Way of the House Husband), an alpha Goodra named Rimuru (yes, like the slime isekai), an alpha Mamoswine named Mamosuke (this one was more of a pun), and an alpha girl Zoroark named Samara (yes, like the girl from the Ring, I got from a later part of the main quest; spoilers, you'll get opportunities to battle and catch three alphas, two of which are very rare and one of these two doesn't even spawn let alone as an alpha while the other is just stupidly rare to spawn as an alpha and as a girl, they can't be shiny but their natures and genders are random). Most of my named Pokemon are anime or manga references, but they're all like Japanese because I am a fucking weeb and thought naming them with Japanese thematic names would be appropriate. I got a shiny alpha Oshawott from a trade giveaway, I named her Tomoe (like the irl woman samurai and like from Moonlit Fantasy). I also have a Ursaluna named Sugimoto and a Decidueye named Asirpa. I got an alpha Parasect I named Umami and gave it to the mushroom kid for a quest and it's the funniest shit walking into his house to see this fucking unit. And then there's fucking Terry the Tangela.
I mean take into account she was playing at launch blind and thus had no clue where anything was.
I remember on Pokémon Rangers I would capture all the legendary Pokémon I could and then proceed to never use them since i didnt want to lose them afterward. Even in the final fight.
You didn’t just consume pikachus?
Facts
Bad end: Arceus learned how to use the phone and downloaded Twitter.
That’s how Giratina was made 😂
1:02
BREAKING NEWS: god looks through local twink’s search history. Twink is later found unconscious in rural Japan.
“Look at this Rowlet. IT’S DEAD.”
Not in Hisui, he’s not.
Therapist: Valley Girl Shen can't hurt you she doesn't exist.
Valley Girl Shen: 27:24
She's hurting me.
I love the concept of a lot of major characters in this game being ancestors of other recognizable characters and trainers in the other pokemon games, it's such a fun concept and so cool to see. like how Volo resembles Cynthia. just something i found cool.
i literally thought volo was just cynthia when they first revealed him he's looks just like her but with with their hair tied up
@@skynonameisnotafurry it’s pretty much just the hair over the eye that resembles her. But that’s such and iconic piece of the character, that’s really all that matters.
@@skynonameisnotafurry I thought he was Cynthia also when facing his team (SPOILER! exact same as Cynthia's) but then again as her ancestor, it makes sense.
11:52 "go to sleep" (dies)
He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit.
Thank you Shen for making me realise that I do indeed recognise the flute sound (hearing it in someone else's video made me think I'd heard it before but didn't know where), because I used to own Pearl, but I was so young and it was so long ago that I didn't remember how it sounded until she started it.
“Just spoke with god, no big deal” into the logo, perfect
Shen: "its a isekai pokemon?!"
people who played mystery dungeon: "first time?"
I love that for Pokemon games to have great writing is for it to be an isekai, like misery dungeon.
Pokemon Rangers: shadows of almia, or whatever it's called. It had some of the best writing in any Nintendo game.
My favorite pokemon game is misery dungeon
@@rtiq270 oops, I ain't changing that now it's more fitting to the series.
Pokémon Misery Dungeon: Explorers of Anxiety. Beautiful memories of that game.
Yep, with how many times I die and lose my items, misery dungeon sound about right.
“Oh my god IT’S ISEKAI POKÉMON-“
Mystery Dungeon’s been doing it since 2005, don’t be impressed
is it truly Isekai if it's the past of your own world? Mystery Dungeon makes sense, but Legends of Arceus?
@@garreonlefay6703 Yes
@@garreonlefay6703 It's not the past of the player characters world, they ostensibly come from the "real world". That's why Arceus explains that pokemon exist to you, and why your character doesn't know anything about them
@@Quetzalcoatl-Dragon_97 Yeah! After all Inuyasha is considered to be an Isekai, where Kagome gets sent to Feudal Japan in her universe.
@@garreonlefay6703 Yes.
6:30 as much as this is a joke, I wholeheartedly believe that working at Game Freak is probably like working in a dungeon.
It's not. From the translations I've read of their employee blog, there is no urgency or crunch at Game Freak. They take vacations even right before launch, plus there's a lot of in-fighting and favoritism. The reason their games are like this is a combination of bad management, low budgets, and high turnover of talented staff (they get exploited and then leave, hence why GF is constantly hiring).
@@Hugsloth im gonna be honest chief, the end statements somehow contradicts with the beginning statements for some reason.
@@AeroViro It seems that at GF when someone hands in the work, they are given the full credit even if that person had another staffer come to help them solve problems. This led to inexperienced staff handing in work they got more talented staff to help with, and the more talented staff feeling exploited. But despite this they do not have a sense of urgency to polish the games before launch.
(also i love your work and am silently pogging that you replied to me im sorry)
@@Hugsloth Where's that info about staff coming from? I don't recall anyone ever stating this sort of thing going on. They've outwardly stated that they encourage the newer staff as much as possible, even putting them to work on major parts of the games alongside the old guard. As for the older staff those extra games like Harmoknight and Little Town Hero are side projects purely to prevent burnout from Pokemon and allow for experimentation with other styles and genres of game. I'm not sure where these words of infighting and the "talented staff" feeling slighted come from aside from a dubious account by a "former GF employee" around the time SwSh came out.
The truth is that the Gen 8 games were not a result of crunch but a result of poor planning. The three year gen cycle worked fine in the past but not on the jump to the Switch, and they couldn't just delay because Pokemon isn't just a video game anymore, it's a franchise. Delaying the games would mean delaying everyone else, the people who work on merch, the anime, the manga, the side games. That's a lot of companies and contracts. Yes SwSh and PLA came out less than best but lets not let speculation go too wild on the reasons why.
27:55
That was probably the most powerful thing I have seen this month
That editing was on point
Someone needs to put together all the clips of different steamers/youtubers reading out that bit at the beginning and stitch it together. I feel like it would sound really cool.
On the topic of Lian, the American old west WOULD have been happening during this time period. As long they confirm him as being from Pokemerica, it is accurate.
*unova
@@tacitgamingfanREAL Unova is specifically New York.
Pretty much. It's not supper far back in the past, maybe a hundred years at least.
He's one of the tribals. The Pearl Clan to be specific. The clans deals is that long ago they sailed to Hisui looking for the god they called Sinnoh, they each have different ideas on what Sinnoh is, but even they aren't the land's original inhabitants. That would be the Celestica people, a mysterious civilization with pseudo-Roman styled clothing and architecture. They have ruins, there's two known descendants, there's legends and old records, but that's about it, nobody knows what became of them. The clans took some inspiration of Sinnoh and the legends from the Celestica people.
Lian is from the Pearl Clan, so he's a native of Sinnoh. Which does line up because his descendant Clay was designed as a Japanese immigrant chasing the American dream, according to an interview with Ken Sugimori.
This game takes place in 1870. Jubilife is based on Sapporo, an actual town in Hokkaido (which is what Sinnoh is based on) founded in 1868.
It has been two years since the founding of Jubilife Village. Therefore, it must be 1870.
But Magnezone's entry refers to radio waves. Radio waves were discovered in the late 1880s.
20:00 I actually had to do a double take. I legitimately thought Irida had VA lines here with how you nailed those lines.
Arceus saw you had an iPhone so he upgraded it.
Now it's battery lasts longer than 5 minutes.
_Evolution Fanfare_
As a man with an iPhone I can confirm, this thing really does feel like it lasts 5 minutes at times
I fucking love how everyone I’ve watched play this game had a strong reaction to Cyllene saying among us
I just got flashbacks to the Sun and Moon playthrough of "MY DRIPPING ULTRA WORMHOLE."
I feel your pain. I carved circles into my ds touchscreen to the point that parts of it don’t work anymore playing Pokémon Ranger. That game was dangerous for your ds if you weren’t careful
Trainer: "Pikachu! Use tackle!"
Player: "Psyduck. Use protect on me!"
Trainer: "Wait what?"
Player: (Proceeds to dropkick the pikachu on the face)
Player: FUCK THIS, I"M A SHOTOCLONE! (Proceeds to Hadouken Pikachu)
@@XellosNi Player proceeds to daigo parry a thundershock
"It's Isekai Pokemon"
Clearly Shen has never played a Mystery Dungeon game.
This is absolutely the best Pokémon game in my eyes, it’s only real flaw that I’ve seen from my play through is the fact that the pacing of the story seems a bit too fast, but I also feel that that was on purpose because they wanted to make sure there was time for you to pay attention to the surroundings and the objective of catching Pokémon. Also the boss battles are sick for a Pokémon game. Also the space time distortions are great, as are the horde events, god I love this game.
I can't believe that Arceus is hip enough to use a cell phone, in the Fuedal era or whenever this takes place
Idk when the Fuedal era is, but this is the industrial era equivalent of the pokemon world.
Even more impressive is that he has no hands.
@@deadlydingus1138 he had that godly tech support on his side
This is the industrial age. Laventon has a camera.
Arceus created Dialga, time itself. He's probably omnipresent.
That "let people enjoy the game; how bout I kill you instead" dono made my soul ascend!
Shen's commentary and laugh can seriously brighten up a bad day. Like, I'm in a much better mood compared to like 3 hours ago. I'm enjoying the laughs and the memes lmao.
Shenpai has uploaded!
REJOICE! REJOICE!
I love that you're always meming all throughout your videos, Shen. It's so much different from playing the games itself because I'm always laughing my ass off when I see you play through it
Same x)
Laventon looks goofy enough to give him silly Dad Energy
Pokemon: In Another World with my Smartphone, the game, the movie
Not only is the flute song the same as the chimes at the start of DPPl, as is the Star Rank Up jingle, but did you know that another song in DPPl references the intro? The theme alongside the chimes is the song played by the Azure Flute in the never-released Arceus event.
Shen, PLEASE upload more of this.
I'd love to see you enjoy something I had a blast with this much, to see you pick up on references n stuff.
Diamond was my first ever pokemon game, i hold it so darn dearly that this game shook me to my core. Thank you for the upload!
"now, since we're acknowledging that the player character may be violently killed by our mascots, we can't say they're 10 anymore. So 15 now"
I can't wait for you to progress a little more and start gushing over all the small pokemon. Or asking the big ones to step on you.
For how hideously optimized this game is graphically it is strangely addicting for some baffling reason (for how concerned I was about the repetitiveness of the gameplay loop). I had a load of fun watching you play this on stream as well on my own time. Hoping you had a lot of fun too despite all the glaring issues the game had!
This games gameplay sadly doesn't match it's graphics
Pokemon may not have the best graphics, but it does have fun.
“For some baffling reason” damn it’s almost like the gaming industry’s circlejerk for better and better graphics doesn’t match the effectiveness of a fun and engaging gameplay loop
I'd say that's just cause gameplay's more important than graphics. Minecraft isn't the best selling game of all time for how it looks after all.(not that good graphics aren't needed at all, it'd be nice)
@@mx.e2176 I only say baffling since it’s Pokémon and the new gameplay style is actually pretty fresh and fun unlike the previous games where the fun was kinda hit or miss. Was worried it would be slowly repetitive but was surprised that a lot of effort was put into gameplay. I still wished the game didn’t blind my eyes with flashing trees and grass if I do happen to look at them funny from afar.
That thumbnail is adorable ❤️
"I was reincarnated in a Pokémon world with a Smartphone" would be the title in another timeline.
Typical anime or manga title
You're...sort of reincarnated in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Arceus just shamelessly yeets the protagonist into the era as its personal agent in this game.
I also noticed the Galarian Wheezing thing on the top of the Galaxy building while playing
this game took over my life 😭 sure the graphics aren’t good but its addicting
Who cares about graphics? As long as it's fun, I find it worth my time.
@@peterthepeopleeater5697
I know right, it reminds of a tiktok I once saw a long time ago like:
"As you can see the shading on the trees are better on the PC then on the Xbox."
"Okay, but how does that effect game play?"
"Uh...graphics."
"What grown man will be looking at shadows the whole game."
Everyone says this but the graphics ARENT awful. They're not the greatest thing ever. But they aren't awful.
@@tanzyvat5834 Dang right you are, I'm getting tired of people complaining about the graphics.
Like "Oh my god! look at those ps2 trees!", Shut up I literally don't care!
@@peterthepeopleeater5697 Fun is definitely the most important aspect, but we shouldn't underestimate the importance of visuals.
Humans naturally prefer things that look nice over things that don't. So even if the graphics don't make the actual gameplay any less fun, I think everyone would prefer if it was at least on par with other Nintendo titles.
I will definitely check out the streams to see how far you’ve played, but I really really hope you keep playing and make jt to the post-game boss fight. It is SO WORTH IT. Not the catch all pokemon one, just the post game one. The catch all pokemon mission is also worth it, but that’s a LOT more effort.
You just brighter my day Shen, thank you so much for the video xD smiles and laughs ❤
28:46
_"Return the slab, return the slab."_
the pokemon world must have at least 50% oxygen in it's atmosphere for bugs _that_ big, just imagine an alpha scolipede, straight up megafauna insects
Well we all remember what happened back in New Pokemon Snap, so this will be good.
I didnt realize how many people had trouble with the Buizel quest. I got it easily. I guess I was just lucky. Then again, my first clefairy encounter was a shiny sooo....
Hey Shenpai thank you for making all the videos you do. You and your friends have helped me through many stressful situations, so thank you. Also I know how much you love Bloodborne, so have you heard of T B Skyen? He plays through games then does boss analysis. His playthrough and analysis of Bloodborne has opened up my eyes to the secrets of the game. His analysis of the Orphan of Kos and the Blood Starved Beast really shocked me and made me love Bloodborne love the story so much more. Also I really think you might like watching him play through it when you have time. Once more thank you for all you have done, also have a great day and same to all of your friends.
Man, everytime theres a new Shenpai video, my day gets just a little better
oh my god watching Volo's togepi kick your ass with kisses was hilarious
I’m honestly super excited to see you play this, Shen! Your reactions just bring me so much laughter and happiness! Keep it up! XOX
Let's just acknowledge the fact that Kamado, a grown-ass man, straight up suplexes a child.
Wow. I never actually realized those smoke things were Galarian Wheezing. Huh.
Shen doing a perfect imitation of Fox performing an up B at 9:30. What a talent!
I LOVE YOUR POKEMON VIDS SO HAPPY YOUR BACK TO IT
for now
I just started watching the vod and then this vid came out, how convenient
37:10 You can read exactly this in the solaceon ruins in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, in the room you got the Defog HM
Shen at it again making great descriptions of games in the titles.
She is indeed correct the video game Pokemon Legends Arceus is indeed infact a video game.
seeing you play this game makes me so happy, I adore this game and you are making it even more fun ^^
I genuinely love this game and hope future games continue with this gameplay style
37:55 THAT BROUGHT BACK SM NOSTALGIA I USED TO DO THAT W THE LONG ASS SAVES BACK IN DP AAUGHH
Me and my brother like to refer to Volo as "Cynthia-not-Cynthia" because of his looks and I'd say it fits surprisingly well
No matter how burnt out i am of watching people play video games... I always have time for shen :) you never fail to make me laugh and it always makes my day better to watch your videos!
Hehehe. been waiting for this take. Love ya vids as always shen
So any one else have the immediate feeling of "this seams familiar" with the opening scene on the Beach
Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time? Nice
Oh I've been WAITING for this
Arceus: *kidnaps child, turns their phone into a lethal weapon, sends them into the past and forces them to catch hundreds of creatures with the ability to kill them in the blink of an eye*
Their face:🗿
Man you really should keep your llama in check. He can't keep sending kids to the past
@Shenpai that Kamado Yakuza introduction almost killed me. Good shit fam!
NEW SHENPAI CONTENT WOOOOOO
Can’t wait to see Shenpai’s reaction to near the end of the game.
Yay!!! Shenpai plays Pokémon!!!
Currently at a bus stop sadly.... but can't wait to watch this when home!
I do love how much fun Shenpai seems to be having with this 🤣
Can someone draw the dead Rowlet doing the family guy pose that Peter does when he falls down the stairs?
22:20 THE NOSTALGIA OMG
YESSSS I was waiting for this video
I feel like after that opening Arceus yeets you into a pokemon world like " NOW GO FORTH AND ENSLAVE THINE BROTHERS!"
“Thine”? Not “mine”?
This is one of my new favorite games. I completed the whole game as soon as possible.
i love u shen!! your energy is so contagiuos love it
22:36 Pretty much my head be bangin to this when I had Diamond on my DS when I was 11
OMG! The guy’s wurmple becoming a cascoon and he thinking its a silkoon is a callback to Jesse’s cascoon in the anime xD
Did...did anyone ever NOT have their DS suffer some kind of damage from pokemon rangers? That honestly seems like the norm.
That thumbnail art makes me squeal with delight! It’s so cute!
great title shen! nice work!
thank you I put a lot of thought into it
36:33 - 37:21 😅It’s okay shen, I fell for that too. At least it’s helped me with the unown alphabet. (And for those who don’t know, yes, I spelt unown like that on purpose)
Also I feel bad for the guy who wants a beautifly but might end up getting a dustox instead. I think dustox also look kinda pretty, but he might still be disappointed about it.
I’d love to see more of you playing this cause it looks fun.
great video as always, shen!
At the point with the diamond and pearl music, I just pictures Adaman watching all of that unfolding in front of him
When the world needed her most, she came back.
Aw, she calls it an oversight, how cute. Just wait for the rest of the Nobles, where you'd wish you can throw a pokemon.
