I played it for the first time this year. It brought back that childhood wonder, passion and excitement for Pokemon that I lost growing up. I would have given *ANYTHING* to feel that again… Legends Arceus gave me that feeling.
I’ve been playing Pokémon since red and I’ve never seen a shiny. I haven’t really looked for them, but still I’ve never seen one in my own gaming experience.
Me getting a shiny oddish on my first pokemon playthrough:……. (Also i didn’t catch it because it was lets go pikachu and a cutscene happened before i could get it
I just got the Nintendo Switch and Pokémon for the first time yesterday. It was a huge upgrade from the last time I played Pokémon on the Nintendo DS. Being able to finally see where Pokémon is and having a quest marker so you don't get lost for hours is exactly what we old Pokémon players needed for years. The only change I would love to see in modern Pokémon games is for characters to be able to talk and not just have text across the screen. Characters need their voices.
For me what I really really miss about the old Pokémon games, is if trying to train one Pokémon, that Pokémon gets the exp, I hate the exp sharing between parties in new Pokémon games
Valid pokemon fan take except personally i still think ss and hg are the best just because so much to explore and theyre the only remake thats actually perfection
For me, this game's biggest issue is that it stops innovating 3 hours in. Once the novelty wears off and you look at the actual design and content of the game, it ranges from mediocre to shockingly awful at times. Every Pokemon behavior, for example, is nearly identical and can be sorted into 2 categories 99% of the time - they either run away or fight. Almost no Pokemon forces you to approach it in ways you didn't do with the other Pokemon. There's no cool behaviors like fire Pokemon setting grass on fire or flying Pokemon creating gusts that slow your movement speed or anything of that nature. Furthermore, every map in this game has as much complexity as the Obsidian Fieldlands - the tutorial map. The Crimson Mirelands is the only map with an interesting gimmick. I'd count Prelude Beach, but the catching while swimming feels so awful and clunky that I don't want to. Otherwise, every map is identical and does absolutely nothing to put some desperately needed variety into the catching mechanics that become still after a few hours. Not trying to sound disrespectful, but everyone praises this game for being innovative, but it does almost nothing to expand on its brand new concepts, leading to an extremely repetitive gameplay loop where you do the exact same thing in the exact same way over, and over, and over. By the time I got halfway through, I was so sick of playing it and so confused at how unanimous the praise for it was.
Nah you aren’t being disrespectful at all, you’re spitting truth and are completely right. The game has a huge amount of issues but I think I love it so much because it just brings things into the franchise that I have always craved, and that makes me so excited. I think while I wrote the script for this video as a comparison to other Pokemon games and not the gaming industry as a whole.
Only sucky part is the crazy amount of talking the people do so far and it’s not truely open world and create your own path I think the graphics are fine for what it is and i think everything else is basically what we always wanted I haven’t been playing any games since Nintendo ds first release so take my opinion for what it is But was missing Pokemon and wanted to get the kids into it
The shooter mechanic was over used so much that I didn't want to play after getting sneasle and it had many other problems like not being able to go into menus run or dodge properly very useless crafting for the most part and just overall repetitive its only one maybe 2 steps in the right direction
The thing is pokemon legends arceus has so much more to do other than scarlet and violet. I like all the tasks and stuff that you have even after you complete the game there’s more to do than just hunt for pokemon
Ive been boycotting the games since they took out megas, z moves and national Dex but as a major kalos fan, after I saw Pokemon z, I had to get arceus to try out. Arceus was the only game that interested me but I was still iffy since the previous games weren't great. So far, I'm enjoying it. It's not the best but the new catching mechanics and how Pokemon actually roam the world and attack you, is really great. The art style is pretty nice, reminds me of sun and moon. I hope the next game actually gets better. They gotta add voice acting. Even minimal voice acting like how the Zelda games do it. Voice lines in cutscenes and small grunts in game. The cutscenes in this game are so awkward without them. Even Lego games have full voice acting. Cmon man.
I havent played any pokemon games besides pokemon go. Now im thinking to buy this, but have received opinions to start w lets go eevee or pikachu. Which one you would recommend? Or is there coming a new pokemon game what should i wait?
You don't have to wait or start at any specific game. They all have their own standalone stories for the most part. I would highly recommend Pokemon Legends Arceus though. Regardless of if you play any of the other games Arceus is worth playing. I never played the let's go games but I've heard really good things.
@@WeekndWarriorrr Good to hear! Thanks for the answer. Was thinking about buying scarelt/violet also, cause i can get coinbags for the pogo, but maybe in the future, Arceus seems way more fun to play.
My most favorite pokemon game after Emerald and B/W 2. Shiny hunting in this game is a blast and never gets old for me. S/V is also pretty fun but I get bored after shiny hunting there for a while
Never played any of the Pokemon games. I was not a fan of the gameplay and style however Arceus is actually fun and to me it’s like BOTW but in Pokémon world so it is definitely the game for me.
So pla was going to be way better but it got scrapped and hisui would be a bit bigger so the original plot was where you would go to the future again or the future having a bigger plot where you do objectives in the future then get sent back because there is the players room in dp in the files
It's missing the structure present in all other mainline Pokemon games from the gyms and Elite Four/Pokemon League. Since there's not a competitive aspect, which has been there since the very first games, that may be one of the fundamental elements you feel are missing. Also the fact that Pokemon Legends: Arceus like practically all other games has a story but all the stories are so basic that you don't feel anything when playing through them.
Embarrassing when Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii looks better than Arceus, the world has more life in it. Beautiful backgrounds, huge areas with alot of life in it and voice acting. And we don't need to talk about the Remastered. 😅 Yeah it is no Monster Catcher, but I just wanted to say how impressive the first Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii is in compare to all the 3D crap Gamefreak made 😶 And nice video 👍
The switch may be a toaster but most pokemon games look like they came from the wii. Look at Monster Hunter rise or Zelda TOTK and you can see the consoles true potential.
good luck tryin to get arceus wit non hacks. each pokedex requires you to catch 15 of each, stealth caught or even require some type of tedious fetch quests tied to it.
Imagine call of duty but instead of guns you're aiming pokeballs at pokemon to catch them. You use stuff you find to craft more balls or other items. It honestly feels like what Pokemon should have always been. One thing it needs more of is trainer battles. Maybe a battle tower or something
I’ve actually been playing palworld. I’m level 35 and I think it’s awesome so far, probably a better game than legends arceus, but I still like legends arceus more. I’m planning to make a video about Palworld though
I mean this would be the best option, if u like traditional pokemon games then buy sword and shield, if u want a good storyline and competitive then buy scarlet and violet
I don't care what anyone says. This is the worst Pokemon game ever made in my opinion. They could have just done a simple Mystery Gift event for Arceus. They could have made a game with the roots XD: Gale of Darkness or Colusseum. But no, they had to go Monster Hunter and Zelda's road.
Bro don't tell about your opinion ok, and you are telling that the graphics sus huh? Go and play your scarlet and violet, don't make useless content...
Also palworld is great if you’re tired of pokemon (:
BUT! It gives gamefreak some competition so the might be
putting effort into games!
@@Ninja_turtldoubt it, they still make so many sales no matter what and I doubt the Pokémon company would care abt palworld enough to put more effort
@@chanseytherapper8603 Thats some Surskit. (Translate Sur and Skit from swedish and then you get Sour Sh1t)
You lied to me...
Finished Scarlet. Went back to Arceus cuz i only played it for a couple hours. Probably my favorite Pokemon alongside Black and HeartGold.
I played it for the first time this year. It brought back that childhood wonder, passion and excitement for Pokemon that I lost growing up. I would have given *ANYTHING* to feel that again… Legends Arceus gave me that feeling.
What the fuck was the first 53 seconds of the video?
I’ve been playing Pokémon since red and I’ve never seen a shiny. I haven’t really looked for them, but still I’ve never seen one in my own gaming experience.
thats is the saddest thing ive ever heard bro , youll find one eventually
When you do, you’ll probably cherish it haha
Me getting a shiny oddish on my first pokemon playthrough:……. (Also i didn’t catch it because it was lets go pikachu and a cutscene happened before i could get it
Bro skipped gold and silver and their remakes I guess. There’s literally a free shiny in those games.
I started on blue in 99, I caught a shiny venonat in the safari zone in leaf green. That’s it for me though
Lowkey best pokemon game imo
No the killer to this game is lack of good battling outside that yes its top 3 at least
Nah man this the only game where you character can basically jump💀
Mystery Dunegon: 😢
@@Gammhit.justadudestoppp😂😂
THERE MAKIN ANOTHER LEGENDS LESSSSS GOOOOOOOOO.
fr im so excited
@@Landoor Same
AND TO GET MORE HYPE MEGA EVOLUTION A COME BACK IN THIS GAME
@maciejkapciak597 yes mega I can't wait
I quite literally ran through the entire game including hunting for arceus in a week for the second time cause I missed this game so much
0:47 Excuse me, what did you just say?
Ikr
I was drinking sparkling water while talking into the mic so I thought it’d be funny to say it was good
I don't understand what was wrong with what he said.
@@ryancooper780it’s the worst attack

For me as a pokemon fan i didn't like pokemon scarlet and violet for me is the worst game of the series Arceus is the best of the best
Real
Valid pokemon fan take except personally i still think ss and hg are the best just because so much to explore and theyre the only remake thats actually perfection
Legends Arceus and Scarlet/violet are peak pokemon
Platinum and Black/White/Black2/White2 are bettet tho
And emerald too
Dont let the pokemon within 100 yards of my presence

@@Landoor that’s totally a fair reason to enjoy these games! I think if Z-A addresses my issues, the Legends formula can be a huge hit for me.
I tried to shiny hunt magicarps, now i have too many of them :(
Shi I'll take one
I caught a Shiny Alpha one a week ago.
I came back to it, completing the pokedex and catching shines along the way... love it
Idk why you would just bother saying “I secretly like Pokemon “
It’s a childhood for so many people
Only sucky part is the crazy amount of talking the people do so far and it’s not truely open world and create your own path
I think the graphics are fine for what it is and i think everything else is basically what we always wanted
I haven’t been playing any games since Nintendo ds first release so take my opinion for what it is
But was missing Pokemon and wanted to get the kids into it
I'm super confused because sometimes I buy Pokéballs in this game and they just don't even get into my inventory
Weird, that’s never happened to me
I still shiny hunt in legends, but I don't as much as s/v.
Gen 9 shiny hunting is so easy now. I filled a box of shinys in a week and a half including a masuda froakie in the first 8 eggs (with charm)
Great video keep up the amazing work you deserve more subs 👍🏼👍🏼
I got this game like a week ago and it's amazing
Keep the sales up!! Hope at the end it outsells BDSP
They need to add trainer lvls for items to be used during battle battle to help out along side the held items
The shooter mechanic was over used so much that I didn't want to play after getting sneasle and it had many other problems like not being able to go into menus run or dodge properly very useless crafting for the most part and just overall repetitive its only one maybe 2 steps in the right direction
Honestly so far I think Pokémon sword/shield is the best Pokémon game but to be fair I am only into the start of Pokémon arceus
I like those ones too
@@Landoor I like them because in my opinion the story is clear and fun
I subscribed because of the opening sound track. Froze my brain in a ton of flashbacks for a second
Stayed subbed cause this is top tier stuff all of this video even til the last second
One of the less talked about features is the removal via trade evolutions(I have no friends with a Nintendo Switch😢😢)
The thing is pokemon legends arceus has so much more to do other than scarlet and violet. I like all the tasks and stuff that you have even after you complete the game there’s more to do than just hunt for pokemon
I was playing back when it got released , got sucked back into BD, halo infinite , gta and then scarlet. Moved to Japan and I am getting back into it.
Best game in the series
Funny Enough I am Streaming my first playthrough on my channel as we speak xD such an epic game as it is!
Very cool

I was waiting to hear about patches and how it change now vs when it came out. All he talked about was it vs violet and the story of the game.

I left SV after finishing the Dex and a couple events, but I still play PLA
Im still playing every so often. Close to getting the shiny charm, then the real game starts.
Sword and shield and Arecus I got a lot of Shiny And It’s a great game I’m almost done with the Pokédex wish me luck
Towns felt hollow
So pla was going to be way better but it got scrapped and hisui would be a bit bigger so the original plot was where you would go to the future again or the future having a bigger plot where you do objectives in the future then get sent back because there is the players room in dp in the files
Idk what it is I just can’t stand this game. The vibes are so weird. The story is weird. I hate the map. I have no motivation to do the quests.

Embarrassing when Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii looks better than Arceus, the world has more life in it. Beautiful backgrounds, huge areas with alot of life in it and voice acting.
And we don't need to talk about the Remastered. 😅
Yeah it is no Monster Catcher, but I just wanted to say how impressive the first Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii is in compare to all the 3D crap Gamefreak made 😶
And nice video 👍
Legends Arceus is my favorite Pokemon game. It's worth it.
But its trash
@@ObeseMommy bait
You said like nothing about it
I don’t think that was really the point of the video… it’s more of an advice thing. But there are plenty of walkthroughs online as well.
funny that you put The legend of Zelda theme in background
I’m playing as well till this day
No shit Sherlock, everyone who clicked loves pokemon 😭
best pokemon game on horrible hardware
The switch may be a toaster but most pokemon games look like they came from the wii.
Look at Monster Hunter rise or Zelda TOTK and you can see the consoles true potential.
@Gigi4u true, totk is top 3 all time games for me
idk i've never played it
also can you do "should you play bad end theater in 2024?" next
awful game be quiet
good luck tryin to get arceus wit non hacks. each pokedex requires you to catch 15 of each, stealth caught or even require some type of tedious fetch quests tied to it.
Skill issue
What do you do in the game
Imagine call of duty but instead of guns you're aiming pokeballs at pokemon to catch them. You use stuff you find to craft more balls or other items. It honestly feels like what Pokemon should have always been. One thing it needs more of is trainer battles. Maybe a battle tower or something
Palworld is the complete experience 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve actually been playing palworld. I’m level 35 and I think it’s awesome so far, probably a better game than legends arceus, but I still like legends arceus more. I’m planning to make a video about Palworld though
Dude comparing this game to bdsp preffer these graphics best than bdsp
NEVER HAD A POKEMON GAME SINCE THE DS, I'M THINKING OF BUYING ONE IS THIS ONE WORTH IT? OR IS THERE BETTER POKEMON ON THE SWITCH??
I mean this would be the best option, if u like traditional pokemon games then buy sword and shield, if u want a good storyline and competitive then buy scarlet and violet
The G.O.A.T until ZA😊
Pokémon legends arceus is awesome tbh
Palworld is awesome too
I can’t believe they left out online battle….
Hard agree on this game being amazing. I’m hoping we’ll get a banger with the new legends game!
Same
it wasnt worth playing when it was released

"It' looks so good bro"
*staring down one of the worst-looking shinies in the franchise*
I don't understand shiny hunters lol
Bro don't tell about your opinion ok, and you are telling that the graphics sus huh?
Go and play your scarlet and violet, don't make useless content...
you mean the game that came out last year? yeah bro the game is still worth playing lol. pointless video
2 years
cope, seethe, mald, shit urself, cry about it
Glad we just got another legends game coming out in 2025
