After the initial dialogue box grind in the intro- this will quickly become your favorite Pokemon title of All Time! Why can't SV be more like Arceus!? Have Fun
@@elithegaymerArceus also takes place in Sinnoh, the best region ever made for people learning the basics of pokémon's world. It's the first pokémon prequel ever as well.
@@berttyq50 it's great. Really liked it. He is right about the nostalgia factor, if you're an OG Pokemon fan, this game hits the mark. Played through about 50% of it before I put it down. But keen to pick it back up again.
Thank you for sharing your opinions, it actually helped to clear my mind about my next pokémon game. Since I already played Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Legends Arceus my next step will be in Galar region.
I doubt it honestly. I was actually really hopeful that they would have a good bug patch in December/January to get things moving well... Nope. They announced DLC before the game is even stable! I am usually pretty forgiving of developers, but that just really bugs me. Also, I why not give Arceus DLC if you can't fix Violet/Scarlet?
Thank you so much for this video, while looking at pokemon games on the switch i was overwhelmed by all my options since i havent played pokemon sonce red and blue lol. I had no idea what the differences were so thank you so much for this
I like the sword, the best, but I would put Violet as a close second even with the bugs . Sure it has aggressive pop in but I feel like every Nintendo game has pop in.
This is the video i needed it was done with all the actual information i newded and as a bonus i fell in love with your personality so i hope you have a ton of videos because i just got a switch and i need ALOT of Guidance especially since i though i might save some money on games this far out and be able to get like a billion games but all the games like polemon and zelda despite being so old 7 years it is still all $60 so now i have to really choose carefully salty about that mario cart was like a wii game and with the booster pack its $80 thats INSANITY. THANK YOU i really appreciate you and the information. Look forward to seeing more videos
Yeah, I love it! It's a shame that we will probably never get another Let's Go game. I would have much preferred to have Let's Go Pearl and Diamond instead of what we ended up getting...
I love Lets go game Art Style I hope they continue this because its closer to more nostalgic just with better graphics and that 2 player feature means I can actually bring my cousin in the same world. How Smashing! @@elithegaymer
Thanks for this, Elio! I just bought a Switch and I was confused as to which game I should buy first. Been watchig reviews and I'm surprised by how low ranked Sw/Sh are. I was really excited to get one of them but I'm in two minds now 😅 Been playing Pokemon for 2 decades, so I still think I'll go with Sword for the experience. After that, Legends Arceus! Loved your video btw!
I hope you enjoy Pokemon Sword and Arceus! I had fun with Sword ( I like the starter Pokemon, most of the towns), I just wish it was a little bit better. Arceus though... I had a blast, haha. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I was a “younger” gamer in that I hadn’t really ever played video games. I started with Let’s Go in 2022, and I beat all the gyms but felt dread at the thought of training for the Elite Four. So I actually haven’t even finished it! Then I found out about this game called Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and I thought, why not play it! I loved it SOOOO MUCH. And I too was disappointed that there was no action RPG elements in SV after being so hyped for it.
I just got violet and my switch after not playing Pokemon or any video game since sun and moon flopped the whole lifelong fan ambition for me and I’m having so much fun and I’m always looking forward to coming back home and playing until the crack of dawn lol. They’re so much fun and sword and shield did NOT look fun. Also did they change the pronunciation of arceu? Genuinely asking because I always knew it o he officially like arkeus but most people say it like arseus
The pronunciation of Arceus is different in different regions! I like to say Ar-see-us because I taught English for several years and I always taught that “ce” makes a “s” sound. Ice, science, place, etc.
Legend Arceus is also recommended for people who dislike Diamond&Pearl remakes and want a game that really respects Gen 4 like Platinum did (the definitive modern day Sinnoh experience over the half-baked remakes). Finally, it's the first prequel pokémon game. Just like how Black&White 2 are the only sequels ever made.
Loved hearing your thoughts on all these games! I think I would generally rank them how you did, except I’d switch around Scarlett/Violet with Let’s Go just because I really felt like I was on an adventure with my Pokémon in Scarlet, like being able to use the Let’s Go feature and explore anywhere I wanted really was a breath of fresh air after Sword/Shield, which was fun but other than the wild area made me feel like just checking mostly disappointing towns off a list, not going on an adventure. Let’s Go was also incredible for someone like me who grew up with the anime and original games, but it understandably didn’t give me that same sense of adventure that really did it for me in Scarlett. But NOTHING compares to Arceus, which was straight up a dream come true to play through. I would love to hear your thoughts on gen 9 Pokémon in general, especially because there were a lot of really interesting designs this gen-Arboliva is my favorite 🫒❤️
Yeah, before playing Scarlet, I thought that at worst I would rank it just below Arceus… but playing it I was just so disappointed with so many things. Like I said in the video, maybe it’s just because I’m feeling so salty still to this day! Let’s Go, I went in with somewhat low expectations, but I had a blast seeing Team Rocket and having my Pokémon follow me around. I was a bit disappointed with the end game though. Anyway, thanks for always being supportive!
I agree with you on everything, I love how you're not sugarcoating things. Scarlet and Violet were hilariously messy. Hopefully Legends Z-A make up for it and I can't wait to see your opinion on the next Pokemon game already.
I also hope Legends Z-A is good! I wasn’t 100% sold on that teaser trailer though. I think it’s going to be a lot different from Arceus in a lot of ways.
Thank you for making this video! ❤ I'm brand new to the switch and video games in general, so I've been having trouble deciding what to get! This is great! I've heard wonderful things about Legends Arceus ✨️
thanks for this video, never played a single pokémon game other than POGO. I’m leaning more towards the Diamond&Pearl since I never got to play the original DS games and feel like i missed out on them, but then again I have my eye on Arceus as well.
Honestly, I loved Scarlet and Violet. I highly recommend it. There’s a lot of cool knacks in the game that he did not highlight because he’s kind of a hater on the game. It’s def a bit buggy. But a lot of those bugs have been worked on. Although, legends arceus has pissed me off a few times. Like you’ll be battling a swarm of Pokémon and it becomes you vs 4 Pokémon. And they wreck you. I have level 100 Pokémon and I still sometimes get my ass kicked by a group of Pokémon in the 50’s level range.
I've seen so many youtubers put scarlet and violet number 1 and I feel your list is the most based honestly. Scarlet and violet seem like lazy bug ridden dumpster fires imo.
Most old games are and your only issue with it is the graphics and bugs. The bugs aren't game breaking so it doesn't effect you other then your feelings just came back to pokemon and I love these way more then most of the titles. This hate train is only going to push away open world polemon because graphics not irl I must cry and throw a fit lmfao grow up unless your 5 and are used to triple A best graphics games no one in pokemon should care.
Never cared about the traverse and exploration. What I really like the customization, team building. And the art, of the Pok'emon battle in battle facilities.
I haven’t really played any of the Pokémon games except when I was borrowing my sister’s game boy when I was like 5, which game would you recommend for someone who likes a bit of a challenge but is also a new player?
If you want a challenge, don’t play Let’s Go, Sword/Shield, or Pearl/Diamond. Arceus is still probably what I would recommend. Scarlet/Violet are second in terms of difficulty since it’s very easy to bump into higher leveled Pokémon/bosses if you go in blind. Hope you enjoy them!
@@elithegaymer thanks so much, this has been super helpful. Always nice to see someone objective and accurate about the game since so many mainstream reviewers have let me down in the past.
I really enjoyed let's go eevee but I'm also a Gen 1 player so that probably is a huge part of why. I also enjoyed pokemon scarlet for post-game content. Also, pokemon snaaaappppp!!! But yeah, Arceus was best hands down.
No, there are no gym battles. You will sometimes battle other trainers though. There are also boss battles with Pokémon where you throw things at them until they are stunned and then fight them with your pokemon.
Hello. I am looking to get a Pokémon title on the switch and I need feedback. I am looking to go on an adventure (with a hopefully interesting story) and eventually after reaching endgame have the option to play online PvP battles therefore extending the replay ability of the game. Any suggestions? Does legend arceus have online pvp ?
Arceus does not have pvp. Honestly, if you care the most about pvp, you should play Scarlet and Violet. They are the newest games so it will have the most active PvP scene.
@@raphaelchaitas1107 It’s not the greatest performance wise but it’s not an awful game. Probably not quite worth 60 but your other choices aren’t much better. Sword & Shield has PvP but it’s slower and imo worse overall compared to Scarlet. Diamon/Pearl is even a step down from that. I’d still say get Scarlet/Violet or just not get a Pokémon game.
just got violette and an oled switch for wife and kids 2h ago, will go back to the store and return it to get picatchu edition and arceus instead. arceus was even on sale! thx
I got PLA and was kinda disappointed bc i want a more competitive style. With that said, should I get swsh or SV? I grew up playing emerald and diamond and white then I stopped. Fast forward I got acreus and got let down. Lol I also wanna transfer up my Pokémon from previous games to my switch, so idk if I should get swsh or SV?
@@elithegaymer thank you for your input! Now, would u recommend scare let or violet? And is the additional content recommended? I can get my hands on either games and also the game that comes with the additional content/dlc. Also, if a certain game will give me the edge or not like more competitive or not when it comes to beating the game with exclusive Pokémon that’s exclusive to each game, if that makes sense lol
My favorites were Let’s Go and Arceus. Arceus if you want something deeper and a bit more difficult. Let’s go if you want something lighter and full of nostalgia.
So just got let’s go Pikachu, I haven’t played a Pokémon game since I was shit probably 12. But my 4 year old been liking the cards so I thru on the original show wit him and it sparked a fucking nerve in my soul and just brought me back so hopefully I get that nostalgia feel chuz im definitely opening his game Christmas Eve and rocking out! Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll probably bypass S/S, BD/SP, just chuz I’m so far back but should I give Violet a try at all?
The only Pokémon games I’d really recommend are Let’s Go and Arceus. I actually enjoyed both and completed the Pokédex in both just because they were fun and engaging. The other games are all a bit rough. If you love the games, you might still enjoy them, but I would not go out of my way for them.
I bought Sword and I just finished, it was my first real Pokémon game besides Pokémon go, I’m still debiting on what Pokémon game to buy next, I was looking into buying Scarlett since it’s the newest Pokémon game, which one do you recommend?
If you liked Sword, then I think you will probably like most of the others as well. You can get Scarlet if you don’t mind bugs or Arceus if you prefer collecting over battling.
So harsh on ScVi, but I understand, it was a pretty big disappointment after Arceus. I still have a lot of fun playing it, but I feel like the open world really works against it in terms of visuals especially. There aren't a lot of locations that feel like they have their own visual identity, or at least there is so much of the world that seems empty or repetitive, which feels even more noticeable when put against SwSh (Ballonlea is what always comes to my mind when I think of memorable locations in SwSh, so it was nice to see it mentioned here!) I remember LGPE got a lot of flak when it first came out for its graphics, but I always thought they were so consistently strong and well done that I never quite got where the issue was, and especially going back to it after playing BDSP I'm like, wow! This game looks fresh and great! Good ranking, I don't think I'd really rearrange it at all even if there are other metrics that I'd take in to account besides just the basic gameplay. Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Yeah, Let's Go was not very well received at all in some circles, haha. Looking at them now, Let's Go easily wins in terms of polish. But yeah, S/V could have been such a great game with more time or if it had been scaled back ever so slightly. It's funny that the focus is on it being an open world but it doesn't even feel like a world for some reason. Too much emptiness. Arceus was so full of easter eggs everywhere which is probably why S/V left me feeling so let down.
Yeah... I really don't understand it either. Personally I am more excited for the next installment in the legends series than I am the next mainline game OR the S/V DLC. I would be so much more hyped for PLA DLC.
I was a little underwhelmed by Arceus at the end of the day. I didn’t feel like the areas were open enough, like I was expecting them to be as big as BOTW. I also preferred Crown Tundra and Isle of Armor as open areas. Other than that, the boss battles were pretty lame and I didn’t like the story all that much. You spend so much time in the first area but not that much in the others.
@@badmeetsevil6163 that makes sense, I think the concept was the intro area introduces you to the mechanics, and once you do you spend more time in the later areas using those game play mechanics, but the game doesn't force you into one area for two long for the story beats. I respect your opinion though, definitely some good points. One thing that I think helped me is I went in with no expectations. I didn't think this would be the size of breath of the wild. The other thing is the story beats were underwhelming and even some of the bosses but those aren't the things that I enjoy the game for, I really like the actual gameplay of the games 😅 like just running around catching pokemon and shiny hunting is incredibly fun! Anyways, I appreciate your input!
@@badmeetsevil6163I stand by my 9/10, mostly for the reasons you mentioned. Is it perfect? No. Is it an amazing step in the right direction? Yes. I honestly prefer the maps in Arceus to the map in Scarlet/Violet (true open world), but yeah I don't like the boss battles.
Violet&Scarlet are nice too, i played blue/red/yellow/silver/gold/emerald/ruby and skipped to arceus and now playing violet. Arceus felt kind of chunky for me, not sure if there has been any update/improvements for it, but violet surely has some much needed upgrades to it in comparison with arceus. Pretty sure you will like both of them anyhow!
Play Legends Arceus first as a prequel to Gen 4, then play Renegade Platinum after it (Pokémon Platinum with quality of life changes better than Brillant Diamond & Shining Pearl, specially with instant healthbar patch and 60fps). There are people who already ported Renegade Platinum to Brillant Diamond and Shining Pearl, basically making them both remakes of Platinum instead of Diamond and Pearl. Setting this is a pain but is totally worth it. OG Platinum already beats the official remakes in some aspects, so Renegade Platinum is just the cherry on the top.
Finally got myself a Switch (secondhand V2 though). My free games are BotW and Legend Arceus. Definitely loving LA but kinda feels like this is a more of an adventure type of Pokemon game than the usual. Loving it though. But I still have the itch to get that Brilliant Diamond. For someone who didn't play gen 4, is it still worth getting?
Thanks for the review. As a person who has played from red/blue/yellow until the 3DS, I will have to wait for another to come out before i make another purchase. Only 1 that seemed it might be ok (pearl/diamond) looks horrid. Thank you again for saving me $$$.
Lets Go Pikachu was great, but the ball throwing mechanic makes it impossible to play with any disability. They needed to have controller support as a backup
I played shining pearl and legends arceus( this one twice), they're asome the shining nostalgic the legends the best ever. Now i wanna sword or violet help me divide?
Sword is more like Pearl and Violet is more like legends. That being said, I’d say Sword is a slightly better version of Pearl whereas Violet is a slightly worse version of Legends, so it’s up to you.
@@elithegaymerPlatinum from 2008 is better than Diamond and Pearl and the remakes, and Renegade Platinum (a Q&L improvement rom hack to Platinum) makes all of these completely irrelevant. Renegade Platinum is so good that it has been ported to Brillant Diamond & Shining Pearl, i don't know if it has the distortion world now but they added basically all of the definitive Platinum story, gyms and pokémon... I have over 100 hours of Renegade Platinum, it's a legit masterpiece, now Legends Arceus is giving me the same vibes of a masterpiece...
@@elithegaymerIt's very cool when i played Legends Arceus, it felt like Platinum/Renegade Platinum again compared to the Diamond&Pearl remakes (even the OG Diamond&Pearl DS games) because it has a move tutor and is so open ended. Platinum, Renegade Platinum and Legends Arceus give me a lot of freedom to create the team that i want, even change pokémon stats, pick the ones that i want... The official Diamond&Pearl remakes are so boring by their regressions.
Legends Arceus and Violet/Scarlet have more unique, interesting stories. The other three are basically the same storyline with slight changes in the setting and with different Pokémon.
Honestly, BDSP is just a very basic Pokémon game. It’s not necessarily bad. You would probably enjoy it if you haven’t played many of the earlier games.
This will be my first pokemon game to play since fire red. I just got done playing Zelda botw so i honestly dont feel like playiny Arceus at the moment lol, so what other game do you recommended?
Is playing a different game and then coming back to Arceus later an option? Haha, if you don’t mind glitches I suppose you could do with Scarlet/Violet. Pokémon Let’s go right after FireRed isn’t very good either (it lacks the endgame content of FireRed).
Great Vid- Pokemon Legends Arceus really just streamlined the fun by not slowing the gameplay with battle into cutscenes, status moves, redundant text, always allowing movement and easy use of mounts. It's also subjectively easier to catch shiny mons in this game***. Sword got me into breeding a bit, and competitive play as well. But I really don't like making Food Dishes or Beauty Contests in other titles. The crafting mechanic is just quick and nearly everything in Pokemon Legends feels like QoL mechanics the other titles dont have. It also took me playing Violet first to realize how amazing PLA is. It's also Sinnoh region and based off Japan. Sword/Shield are England. And SV is based off Spain. I really hate the chars and music in SV, but some ppl like them. I much prefer the Feudal Japan style of Arceus. Youre also essentially completing the first ever pokedex! Its Pog.
Paldea itself is a good region and has good characters as well, but comparing any other region to Sinnoh is just unfair, it has the most complex and well developed lore ever. The first time i played pokémon Platinum, i was blown away.
LGPE are super underrated lol I had lots of fun playing it and even tho I was already tired of Kanto the inclusion of following pokemon really made it so much more enjoyable. It was such a letdown going from Legends to Scarlet bc it felt like a downgrade lol all new games should have Legends mechanics if I’m being completely honest😅
Ive only played the first two gens of pokemon games. Having bought a Switch and being really curious about the Pokemon games, I might just give them all a try. Except for let's go Eevee, Pikachu and Arceus. The first one just doesnt really appeal to me at all and Arceus is brilliant at its concept but seems really poorly excecuted. The next Arceus kinda game probably will be a lot better. Will buy the physicla copies so if I dont like them I just sell them on again.
My reason for disliking Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee. Is completely different. I had no interest in playing those because. It's a remake of gen 1. And gen 1 has already been remade and enhanced once already before. I don't need a second game from the 1rst gen enhanced... For a second time.
Give me lets go and legends Arceus any day of the week. Still better than Scarlet and Violet. I refuse to buy the dlc for a game buggier than a bee hive. I'll gladly pay let's go and Arceus.
I think its easy to recommend all the other games except for Scarlet & Violet. Not only are the graphics an 13:08 issue, the story is awful and going to school is such an awful idea for a pokemon game. I think its the youngest pokemon in game protagonist you play as & I dont like that. That already takes you out of the game. The frame rate, to the “open world” is but ugly. Looking like a Wii game with bad draw distance. Im still shocked how poor it runs considering Legends Arceus does not have these issues and has such quick loading times. I think the Lets Go games look the best aesthetically. Then Sword & Shield in lot of areas & the DlC. Then Legends Arceus really is just its own style. I would recommend it over any. The Remakes of DP I dont think there bad games or even remakes. Its not even the fact that there chibi on the map, for me its that the pokedex is just plain awful like DP originals. I actually like the gen 4 remakes but its to faithful. One good thing though they’re not but ugly & dont have issues thankfully. I however think the issue with Gen 9 and people claiming open world is bad and pokemon is getting lazy is not the case. 1000 monsters have to be stored in the games data on top of crystallizing data. So Gen 9 should have done cut offs were it needs to load each section longer. That would have solved the graphics issue a bit. I dont think pokemon needs to be open world so much. Gen 7 is a great example of how to make the game open world like but not sacrifice graphics. Thats what Gen 8 did, & the DLC expands on it making the game better and graphics. So Im not sure what happened with gen 9. But people need to not by the DLC and not give into it.
It’s funny because I can easily see where Pokémon Violet and Scarlet got their ideas. The school setting worked for Fire Emblem, so let’s have that be the setting. The open world dynamic worked for Zelda, so let’s have that be the gameplay dynamic. I bet sometime during development they realized that having that many Pokémon roaming around an open world was extremely difficult and that the school concept was hard to implement in the Pokémon world. Based on the fact that they never fixed the game, my guess is that even if they had more time… it just wouldn’t work. So, they shipped out the game as is because it’s better to take the loss and move on than waste more time on the game that just wasn’t coming together.
Hey, at least when you play S/V you can feel that they were trying to do something new and exciting... even if they (mostly) didn't quite hit the mark.
In my opinion the map of scarlet and violet looks pretty bad, the colors are so bright and kind of an eyesore, it looks like a Fortnite map. I swear I could remember calling legends arcueas graphics horrible but now it’s such a treat to play that game on top of the gameplay I really enjoy.
I just got a switch and havent played any pokemon game since the DS diamond and pearl, idk the other games seem ok but doesnt feel like the old games did. I will try the arceus one after I complete the BDP one cause that one looks cool. The other ones look pretty trash tho, idk guess im getting old now lol
I think it depends what type of gameplay you prefer. In Acreus the exploration, Pokédex compiling, and more action based gameplay is better. Violet is better for those who play competitively, like to catch them all, and those who prefer the pure turn based battling.
I think legends arceus is trash I don’t like the just catch concept only thing they pulled I rather violet let’s go pikachu and shield far more I prefer the older game concept not this Pokémon GO concept
On the subject of challenge lol if you’re looking for challenge you should not be playing a Pokémon game cuz there has never ever been a Pokémon game that’s even remotely challenging Pokémon games are some of the easiest games ever made

Very helpful video as I get back into pokemon, thanks homie
Excellent summary of each game. It really helped me understand which game to get for my dive into my first switch pokemon game
Aw, thanks for leaving such a nice comment! Hope you enjoy whichever game you decide to get!
Which one did you get first?
Him laughing when talking about scarlett 😭😭
When talking about Scarlet and Violet... I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, ha... *sob* You know I waited in line on launch day to get it!

I was a “younger” gamer in that I hadn’t really ever played video games. I started with Let’s Go in 2022, and I beat all the gyms but felt dread at the thought of training for the Elite Four. So I actually haven’t even finished it! Then I found out about this game called Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and I thought, why not play it! I loved it SOOOO MUCH.

They’re so much fun and sword and shield did NOT look fun.
Also did they change the pronunciation of arceu? Genuinely asking because I always knew it o he officially like arkeus but most people say it like arseus
The pronunciation of Arceus is different in different regions! I like to say Ar-see-us because I taught English for several years and I always taught that “ce” makes a “s” sound. Ice, science, place, etc.
Thank you so much for going through these. On Legends Arceus 4 hours in, looking to buy violet next - bike looks cool
Violet has some really cool elements! Just know that the performance is not very good. I hope you enjoy both games anyway!
Legend Arceus is also recommended for people who dislike Diamond&Pearl remakes and want a game that really respects Gen 4 like Platinum did (the definitive modern day Sinnoh experience over the half-baked remakes).
Finally, it's the first prequel pokémon game. Just like how Black&White 2 are the only sequels ever made.

Let’s Go, I went in with somewhat low expectations, but I had a blast seeing Team Rocket and having my Pokémon follow me around. I was a bit disappointed with the end game though. Anyway, thanks for always being supportive!
Thanks for the tips! As an old schooler pokemon fan Let´s go seemed the most fun, i´m gonna go for it!
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I agree with you on everything, I love how you're not sugarcoating things. Scarlet and Violet were hilariously messy. Hopefully Legends Z-A make up for it and I can't wait to see your opinion on the next Pokemon game already.
I also hope Legends Z-A is good! I wasn’t 100% sold on that teaser trailer though. I think it’s going to be a lot different from Arceus in a lot of ways.
Thank you for making this video! ❤ I'm brand new to the switch and video games in general, so I've been having trouble deciding what to get! This is great!
I've heard wonderful things about Legends Arceus ✨️
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I hope you enjoy Arceus and the Nintendo Switch in general.
@@elithegaymer thank you! I look forward to more of your videos!
thanks for this video, never played a single pokémon game other than POGO. I’m leaning more towards the Diamond&Pearl since I never got to play the original DS games and feel like i missed out on them, but then again I have my eye on Arceus as well.
Honestly, I loved Scarlet and Violet. I highly recommend it. There’s a lot of cool knacks in the game that he did not highlight because he’s kind of a hater on the game. It’s def a bit buggy. But a lot of those bugs have been worked on.
Although, legends arceus has pissed me off a few times. Like you’ll be battling a swarm of Pokémon and it becomes you vs 4 Pokémon. And they wreck you. I have level 100 Pokémon and I still sometimes get my ass kicked by a group of Pokémon in the 50’s level range.
I've seen so many youtubers put scarlet and violet number 1 and I feel your list is the most based honestly. Scarlet and violet seem like lazy bug ridden dumpster fires imo.
Most old games are and your only issue with it is the graphics and bugs. The bugs aren't game breaking so it doesn't effect you other then your feelings just came back to pokemon and I love these way more then most of the titles. This hate train is only going to push away open world polemon because graphics not irl I must cry and throw a fit lmfao grow up unless your 5 and are used to triple A best graphics games no one in pokemon should care.
So far. Only Pok'emon Sword and Shield and Legends Arceus spark my interest. Forget the other 6.
What I wouldn't mind getting one day. Is an enhanced and upgraded version of (Pok'emon Platinum Version)
I’m done playing arceus, so which other games should I jump into? At first I want to buy let’s go but unable to fight wild pokemon is a no no😅
Never cared about the traverse and exploration. What I really like the customization, team building. And the art, of the Pok'emon battle in battle facilities.
Great video! Super informative!
I haven’t really played any of the Pokémon games except when I was borrowing my sister’s game boy when I was like 5, which game would you recommend for someone who likes a bit of a challenge but is also a new player?
If you want a challenge, don’t play Let’s Go, Sword/Shield, or Pearl/Diamond. Arceus is still probably what I would recommend. Scarlet/Violet are second in terms of difficulty since it’s very easy to bump into higher leveled Pokémon/bosses if you go in blind. Hope you enjoy them!
@@elithegaymer thanks so much, this has been super helpful. Always nice to see someone objective and accurate about the game since so many mainstream reviewers have let me down in the past.
Thank you for this honest review. Now I'm decided to go for Arceus. Hope to see you more for next reviews :)
I enjoyed scarlet, granted, the nostalgia of Pokémon is all it takes for me to enjoy a game
I really enjoyed let's go eevee but I'm also a Gen 1 player so that probably is a huge part of why. I also enjoyed pokemon scarlet for post-game content. Also, pokemon snaaaappppp!!!
But yeah, Arceus was best hands down.
Does Eevee give you high fives as well?
@elithegaymer I don't remember but she was adorable regardless
I remember disliking how they voiced Eevee because it wasn't true to the show and that annoyed me lmao
Thank you mate for making this video, so helpful for me to decide play pokemon game on switch, i think i'll start with Pokemon Sword/Shield 🙌🔥
I hope you enjoy your Pokémon journey!
This completely pulled me off of Pokemon Violet and pushed me onto Pokemon Sword.
Pokémon Sword is a good choice if you like classic Pokémon games! I hope you enjoy it!
If the Switch 2 is backward compatible, i may just wait to get that so i can play shield on. since the other pokemon games dont really appeal to me.
Thanks for the recommendations! I wanna try Arceus after watching your video
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Thanks for this vid, I chose lets go Pikachu because I loved the old games and it is great I love the game so much, will be getting Arceus next.
I’m glad you enjoyed Let’s Go! I really loved every minute of it too! I hope you enjoy Arceus just as much (or even more!).
Can we do gym battes in legend arceus ?
No, there are no gym battles. You will sometimes battle other trainers though. There are also boss battles with Pokémon where you throw things at them until they are stunned and then fight them with your pokemon.
Think scarlet/violet would be a good one to play with my 11 year old? or would the bugs be too bad?
Bugs definitely aren't as bad as they used to be. I think they would enjoy it.
Hello.
I am looking to get a Pokémon title on the switch and I need feedback.
I am looking to go on an adventure (with a hopefully interesting story) and eventually after reaching endgame have the option to play online PvP battles therefore extending the replay ability of the game.
Any suggestions?
Does legend arceus have online pvp ?
Arceus does not have pvp. Honestly, if you care the most about pvp, you should play Scarlet and Violet. They are the newest games so it will have the most active PvP scene.
@@elithegaymer yeah but most people say they suck. Play performance is described as laughable and I'm not sure they worth 60 euro
@@raphaelchaitas1107 It’s not the greatest performance wise but it’s not an awful game. Probably not quite worth 60 but your other choices aren’t much better. Sword & Shield has PvP but it’s slower and imo worse overall compared to Scarlet. Diamon/Pearl is even a step down from that. I’d still say get Scarlet/Violet or just not get a Pokémon game.
just got violette and an oled switch for wife and kids 2h ago, will go back to the store and return it to get picatchu edition and arceus instead. arceus was even on sale! thx
I hope you and your family enjoy them!
I got PLA and was kinda disappointed bc i want a more competitive style. With that said, should I get swsh or SV? I grew up playing emerald and diamond and white then I stopped. Fast forward I got acreus and got let down. Lol I also wanna transfer up my Pokémon from previous games to my switch, so idk if I should get swsh or SV?
I would go for SV since it is the newest game and therefore still getting updates and has a bit of an online scene still going for it.
@@elithegaymer thank you for your input! Now, would u recommend scare let or violet? And is the additional content recommended? I can get my hands on either games and also the game that comes with the additional content/dlc. Also, if a certain game will give me the edge or not like more competitive or not when it comes to beating the game with exclusive Pokémon that’s exclusive to each game, if that makes sense lol
The last pokemon game I played was Pokemon X and I was leaning more towards pokemon lets go eevee, arceus, or sw/sh. What do you think?
My favorites were Let’s Go and Arceus. Arceus if you want something deeper and a bit more difficult. Let’s go if you want something lighter and full of nostalgia.
So just got let’s go Pikachu, I haven’t played a Pokémon game since I was shit probably 12. But my 4 year old been liking the cards so I thru on the original show wit him and it sparked a fucking nerve in my soul and just brought me back so hopefully I get that nostalgia feel chuz im definitely opening his game Christmas Eve and rocking out! Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll probably bypass S/S, BD/SP, just chuz I’m so far back but should I give Violet a try at all?
The only Pokémon games I’d really recommend are Let’s Go and Arceus. I actually enjoyed both and completed the Pokédex in both just because they were fun and engaging. The other games are all a bit rough. If you love the games, you might still enjoy them, but I would not go out of my way for them.
I bought Sword and I just finished, it was my first real Pokémon game besides Pokémon go, I’m still debiting on what Pokémon game to buy next, I was looking into buying Scarlett since it’s the newest Pokémon game, which one do you recommend?
If you liked Sword, then I think you will probably like most of the others as well. You can get Scarlet if you don’t mind bugs or Arceus if you prefer collecting over battling.
Legends Arceus is an exception because of how unique it is.
Because it's the Sinnoh region.
So harsh on ScVi, but I understand, it was a pretty big disappointment after Arceus. I still have a lot of fun playing it, but I feel like the open world really works against it in terms of visuals especially. There aren't a lot of locations that feel like they have their own visual identity, or at least there is so much of the world that seems empty or repetitive, which feels even more noticeable when put against SwSh (Ballonlea is what always comes to my mind when I think of memorable locations in SwSh, so it was nice to see it mentioned here!)
I remember LGPE got a lot of flak when it first came out for its graphics, but I always thought they were so consistently strong and well done that I never quite got where the issue was, and especially going back to it after playing BDSP I'm like, wow! This game looks fresh and great!
Good ranking, I don't think I'd really rearrange it at all even if there are other metrics that I'd take in to account besides just the basic gameplay. Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Yeah, Let's Go was not very well received at all in some circles, haha. Looking at them now, Let's Go easily wins in terms of polish. But yeah, S/V could have been such a great game with more time or if it had been scaled back ever so slightly. It's funny that the focus is on it being an open world but it doesn't even feel like a world for some reason. Too much emptiness. Arceus was so full of easter eggs everywhere which is probably why S/V left me feeling so let down.
Let's go has a nice artstyle but the npcs move so robotically... they barely have any emotes and it's just jarring.
Amazing video!!! new subscriber here
Aw, thanks! Welcome to the channel.
Scarlet/Violet brought my love for the franchise back, after two very unsatisfying generations.
I definitely agree with you! Lately I've run into a lot of legends arceus haters and that definitely confused me 🤦
Yeah... I really don't understand it either. Personally I am more excited for the next installment in the legends series than I am the next mainline game OR the S/V DLC. I would be so much more hyped for PLA DLC.
I was a little underwhelmed by Arceus at the end of the day. I didn’t feel like the areas were open enough, like I was expecting them to be as big as BOTW. I also preferred Crown Tundra and Isle of Armor as open areas. Other than that, the boss battles were pretty lame and I didn’t like the story all that much. You spend so much time in the first area but not that much in the others.
@@badmeetsevil6163 that makes sense, I think the concept was the intro area introduces you to the mechanics, and once you do you spend more time in the later areas using those game play mechanics, but the game doesn't force you into one area for two long for the story beats. I respect your opinion though, definitely some good points. One thing that I think helped me is I went in with no expectations. I didn't think this would be the size of breath of the wild. The other thing is the story beats were underwhelming and even some of the bosses but those aren't the things that I enjoy the game for, I really like the actual gameplay of the games 😅 like just running around catching pokemon and shiny hunting is incredibly fun! Anyways, I appreciate your input!
@@badmeetsevil6163I stand by my 9/10, mostly for the reasons you mentioned. Is it perfect? No. Is it an amazing step in the right direction? Yes. I honestly prefer the maps in Arceus to the map in Scarlet/Violet (true open world), but yeah I don't like the boss battles.
@@elithegaymer I also prefer the open zones of arceus over the open world of scarlet/violet 😅 yeah I honestly agree with you. It's such a banger game.
I like battling pokemons to level up mine...
Last pokemon I really played was Emerald. Is it ok to skip other pokemon games? I feel like Legend of Arceus is my kind of game.
Yes! The storylines are separate. And actually, Legends is a prequel anyway (set in the past).
Violet&Scarlet are nice too, i played blue/red/yellow/silver/gold/emerald/ruby and skipped to arceus and now playing violet.
Arceus felt kind of chunky for me, not sure if there has been any update/improvements for it, but violet surely has some much needed upgrades to it in comparison with arceus. Pretty sure you will like both of them anyhow!
Play Legends Arceus first as a prequel to Gen 4, then play Renegade Platinum after it (Pokémon Platinum with quality of life changes better than Brillant Diamond & Shining Pearl, specially with instant healthbar patch and 60fps).
There are people who already ported Renegade Platinum to Brillant Diamond and Shining Pearl, basically making them both remakes of Platinum instead of Diamond and Pearl.
Setting this is a pain but is totally worth it. OG Platinum already beats the official remakes in some aspects, so Renegade Platinum is just the cherry on the top.
Finally got myself a Switch (secondhand V2 though). My free games are BotW and Legend Arceus. Definitely loving LA but kinda feels like this is a more of an adventure type of Pokemon game than the usual. Loving it though. But I still have the itch to get that Brilliant Diamond. For someone who didn't play gen 4, is it still worth getting?
@@wilsonism17 BDSP?
Play Renegade Platinum instead.
Platinum is true gen 4, not a rehash of Diamond&Pearl.
Thanks for the review. As a person who has played from red/blue/yellow until the 3DS, I will have to wait for another to come out before i make another purchase. Only 1 that seemed it might be ok (pearl/diamond) looks horrid. Thank you again for saving me $$$.
Lets Go Pikachu was great, but the ball throwing mechanic makes it impossible to play with any disability. They needed to have controller support as a backup
I played shining pearl and legends arceus( this one twice), they're asome the shining nostalgic the legends the best ever. Now i wanna sword or violet help me divide?
Sword is more like Pearl and Violet is more like legends. That being said, I’d say Sword is a slightly better version of Pearl whereas Violet is a slightly worse version of Legends, so it’s up to you.
@@elithegaymer thank you, i will fet sword first them. But i'll see what happens next pokemon presents
@@elithegaymerPlatinum from 2008 is better than Diamond and Pearl and the remakes, and Renegade Platinum (a Q&L improvement rom hack to Platinum) makes all of these completely irrelevant.
Renegade Platinum is so good that it has been ported to Brillant Diamond & Shining Pearl, i don't know if it has the distortion world now but they added basically all of the definitive Platinum story, gyms and pokémon...
I have over 100 hours of Renegade Platinum, it's a legit masterpiece, now Legends Arceus is giving me the same vibes of a masterpiece...
@@elithegaymerIt's very cool when i played Legends Arceus, it felt like Platinum/Renegade Platinum again compared to the Diamond&Pearl remakes (even the OG Diamond&Pearl DS games) because it has a move tutor and is so open ended.
Platinum, Renegade Platinum and Legends Arceus give me a lot of freedom to create the team that i want, even change pokémon stats, pick the ones that i want...
The official Diamond&Pearl remakes are so boring by their regressions.
What one would you recommend if you enjoy a story or plot to follow? Ive only played the gameboy version and lovecthe cartoon series.
Legends Arceus and Violet/Scarlet have more unique, interesting stories. The other three are basically the same storyline with slight changes in the setting and with different Pokémon.
is BDSP worth playing if i never played the original games?
Honestly, BDSP is just a very basic Pokémon game. It’s not necessarily bad. You would probably enjoy it if you haven’t played many of the earlier games.
I'd really like a yellow, red, blue, firered/leafgreen, or silver on the switch.
I hope that they at least come to the NSO! Honestly I would buy them as a collection if we had the option.
This will be my first pokemon game to play since fire red. I just got done playing Zelda botw so i honestly dont feel like playiny Arceus at the moment lol, so what other game do you recommended?
Is playing a different game and then coming back to Arceus later an option? Haha, if you don’t mind glitches I suppose you could do with Scarlet/Violet. Pokémon Let’s go right after FireRed isn’t very good either (it lacks the endgame content of FireRed).
Great Vid- Pokemon Legends Arceus really just streamlined the fun by not slowing the gameplay with battle into cutscenes, status moves, redundant text, always allowing movement and easy use of mounts. It's also subjectively easier to catch shiny mons in this game***. Sword got me into breeding a bit, and competitive play as well. But I really don't like making Food Dishes or Beauty Contests in other titles. The crafting mechanic is just quick and nearly everything in Pokemon Legends feels like QoL mechanics the other titles dont have. It also took me playing Violet first to realize how amazing PLA is. It's also Sinnoh region and based off Japan. Sword/Shield are England. And SV is based off Spain. I really hate the chars and music in SV, but some ppl like them. I much prefer the Feudal Japan style of Arceus. Youre also essentially completing the first ever pokedex! Its Pog.
Paldea itself is a good region and has good characters as well, but comparing any other region to Sinnoh is just unfair, it has the most complex and well developed lore ever.
The first time i played pokémon Platinum, i was blown away.
Wish they kept it like the original so we can battle wild pokemon for xp
LGPE are super underrated lol I had lots of fun playing it and even tho I was already tired of Kanto the inclusion of following pokemon really made it so much more enjoyable.
It was such a letdown going from Legends to Scarlet bc it felt like a downgrade lol all new games should have Legends mechanics if I’m being completely honest😅
Ive only played the first two gens of pokemon games. Having bought a Switch and being really curious about the Pokemon games, I might just give them all a try. Except for let's go Eevee, Pikachu and Arceus. The first one just doesnt really appeal to me at all and Arceus is brilliant at its concept but seems really poorly excecuted. The next Arceus kinda game probably will be a lot better.
Will buy the physicla copies so if I dont like them I just sell them on again.
My reason for disliking Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee. Is completely different. I had no interest in playing those because. It's a remake of gen 1. And gen 1 has already been remade and enhanced once already before. I don't need a second game from the 1rst gen enhanced... For a second time.
These are the most periods i have seen in a comment.
I guess it’s a good thing I played Scarlet and Violet before legends arceus
Yeah, it’s hard to go from Legends to S/V. Probably pretty smooth to go from S/V to Arceus.
Give me lets go and legends Arceus any day of the week. Still better than Scarlet and Violet. I refuse to buy the dlc for a game buggier than a bee hive. I'll gladly pay let's go and Arceus.
I would buy Lets Go or Arceus DLC in a heartbeat! Scarlet/Violet… Meh. It’ll have to get rave reviews for me to consider it.
For me it is
5) Pokémon let's go
4) Pokémon s/v
3) Pokémon bdsp
2) Pokémon Sw/Sh
1) Pokémon legends Arceus
You saved me, I almost bought Scarlet, lol. Thanks for the video
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to get instead, haha.
Thanks for all the info. I was just gifted a switch and want to play Pokémon again. Haven't played since I played Pokémon Blue lol
I hope you enjoy whichever game you decide to play!
If they decide to do so.
I think its easy to recommend all the other games except for Scarlet & Violet. Not only are the graphics an 13:08 issue, the story is awful and going to school is such an awful idea for a pokemon game.
I think its the youngest pokemon in game protagonist you play as & I dont like that. That already takes you out of the game.
The frame rate, to the “open world” is but ugly. Looking like a Wii game with bad draw distance.
Im still shocked how poor it runs considering Legends Arceus does not have these issues and has such quick loading times.
I think the Lets Go games look the best aesthetically. Then Sword & Shield in lot of areas & the DlC. Then Legends Arceus really is just its own style. I would recommend it over any. The Remakes of DP I dont think there bad games or even remakes. Its not even the fact that there chibi on the map, for me its that the pokedex is just plain awful like DP originals. I actually like the gen 4 remakes but its to faithful. One good thing though they’re not but ugly & dont have issues thankfully.
I however think the issue with Gen 9 and people claiming open world is bad and pokemon is getting lazy is not the case.
1000 monsters have to be stored in the games data on top of crystallizing data. So Gen 9 should have done cut offs were it needs to load each section longer. That would have solved the graphics issue a bit.
I dont think pokemon needs to be open world so much. Gen 7 is a great example of how to make the game open world like but not sacrifice graphics. Thats what Gen 8 did, & the DLC expands on it making the game better and graphics.
So Im not sure what happened with gen 9. But people need to not by the DLC and not give into it.
It’s funny because I can easily see where Pokémon Violet and Scarlet got their ideas. The school setting worked for Fire Emblem, so let’s have that be the setting. The open world dynamic worked for Zelda, so let’s have that be the gameplay dynamic. I bet sometime during development they realized that having that many Pokémon roaming around an open world was extremely difficult and that the school concept was hard to implement in the Pokémon world. Based on the fact that they never fixed the game, my guess is that even if they had more time… it just wouldn’t work. So, they shipped out the game as is because it’s better to take the loss and move on than waste more time on the game that just wasn’t coming together.
BD/SP or S/V? Which is worse? 🤣
Hey, at least when you play S/V you can feel that they were trying to do something new and exciting... even if they (mostly) didn't quite hit the mark.
@@elithegaymer Great! I'm going to pick it up then since it is a mainline game.
Sw&Sh is as bad as BD/SP.
In my opinion the map of scarlet and violet looks pretty bad, the colors are so bright and kind of an eyesore, it looks like a Fortnite map. I swear I could remember calling legends arcueas graphics horrible but now it’s such a treat to play that game on top of the gameplay I really enjoy.
I just got a switch and havent played any pokemon game since the DS diamond and pearl, idk the other games seem ok but doesnt feel like the old games did. I will try the arceus one after I complete the BDP one cause that one looks cool. The other ones look pretty trash tho, idk guess im getting old now lol
I feel like even tho scarlet and violet performs like 💩 still a tiny bit better than legend of arceus
I think it depends what type of gameplay you prefer. In Acreus the exploration, Pokédex compiling, and more action based gameplay is better. Violet is better for those who play competitively, like to catch them all, and those who prefer the pure turn based battling.
I think legends arceus is trash I don’t like the just catch concept only thing they pulled I rather violet let’s go pikachu and shield far more I prefer the older game concept not this Pokémon GO concept
On the subject of challenge lol if you’re looking for challenge you should not be playing a Pokémon game cuz there has never ever been a Pokémon game that’s even remotely challenging Pokémon games are some of the easiest games ever made
Yeah, I agree. If you want a challenge, I don’t think Pokémon should be the game that you pick up, haha.
Competitive play though is quite intense lol.
The only hard game is halo 2 laso everything else is easy trash and people that say other games are hard aren't true gamers that want challenges
Palworld did legends better tbh
