    A great spin off for the series, but something that most of us want from Pokemon

    A decent story, interesting mechanics, a game loop that is fun and a bit addictive.

    BUT... there's also the bad stuff... this games need voice acting, more animations for the main story so the game doesn't looks so outdated... I think this games need some lessons from other games, like Xenoblade and Breath of the Wild
    The graphics are decent... but they really need more details, and also a better way to optiimize the hardware of the Switch. (lots o pop in)
    And finally... the turns and experience are changed... so this makes some battles, a bit unfair.
    If the pokemon is a bit slower and gets oneshot... doesn't matter, the next one is going to have priority because is his turn... it doesn't resets every time a pokemon gets defeated. So the game doesn't favours a fast pokemon with lots of damage... IT NEEDS defence to endure attacks because you'll always get by the oponent... Also... no abilities, I guess it's fine, but they need to return for the sequel.    … Expand

    A pokémon that completely innovated the series, despite graphical problems it is visible that the focus of the game is on the gameplay and in that it was fantastic.

    To start off with something good, I enjoyed the alpha Pokémon mechanic. I like that any Pokémon has a rare chance to spawn as an alpha, and I enjoyed hunting alpha variants of the Pokémon I wanted to add to my party. It made my party members actually feel special and unique from all the other Pokémon running around in the over-world. That’s pretty much where my praise for the game ends.To start off with something good, I enjoyed the alpha Pokémon mechanic.

It made my party members actually feel special and unique from all the other Pokémon running around in the over-world. That’s pretty much where my praise for the game ends. The core game-play loop of catching Pokémon and filling out the Pokédex was acceptable, although the boss fights felt really bland and out of place. I felt just entertained enough to keep playing, but it never really felt great. I often felt that it was just barely enough to let me ignore the game's glaring flaws for long enough to complete the game. Clearly the graphics and performance of the game are some of it’s low points. This game might be the worst AAA title graphically in video game history when compared with other AAA titles releasing within a year. There’s a ton of pop in, especially when flying and there are significant frame rate drops for objects that aren't even that far away from the player. That being said, the poor graphics and performance were hardly what I disliked most about the game. The writing in this game was just painful, which is a shame because the story had so much potential. There were some seriously good story beats there, but the writing just made everything feel flat. None of the characters are relatable, the choices you make feel meaningless, and everything from the main quests to the side quests just feel completely lacking in substance. On top of that, the Arc Phone might be the laziest game mechanic in the history of lazy game mechanics. Why on earth, would a character who is literally a part of the survey corps responsible for SURVEYING the land and Pokémon who live there not just make a map. Instead the Arc Phone just magically gives you maps of new areas, and the other points in the game when the Arc Phone activates is just sheer disrespectful hand-holding on the parts of the developers. They must seriously think their player base is the most unintelligent group of people on the planet earth. This game feels like a bare bones tech demo for a game set to release in a year or two. It’s a shame that more effort was not put into it, because I can see the potential and that, to me, is what makes the failure to give us a solid finished product so much more painful.… Expand

Everything in the game is excellent including the story, the gameplay, the setting, the music and everything else in the game. The graphics in the game are acceptable because the game is exclusively on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch has technical limitations and graphics limitations. The Nintendo Switch is not a high-end gaming PC with high-end graphics card, so obviously the graphics would not be the absolute best that they can be in 2022.

    This is the best Pokémon Game since the DS era. Absolutely incredible gameplay, and a good story. But the graphics a less then desirable, and the lack of PvP and the drastic movepool changes do upset me. There are definitely problems with this game and more things to nitpick then I can count. But the overall all feel of it is, it’s really fun and that’s what matters.

The half open world game style gives you a main story and also lots of quests to complete. I don't feel lost in the game. Instead, I am constantly looking for new Pokemons and enjoy to catch them or fight with them. This game brings back my childhood memory and ignite my passion for Pokemon games again!… Expand

    Esta entrega de la franquicia es toda una declaración de intenciones. Game Freak ha unido conceptos de todos los spin-offs y de la rama principal junto a un lore coherente con sus raíces que logra contarnos una historia que se siente muy viva.
    Su banda sonora sigue a la altura y destaca muchísimo sobre el resto de apartados, sobre todo las remezclas de viejas melodías y temas de batalla.

    Su sistema de combate es un acierto, sin perder la esencia de lo que siempre ha sido la saga pero con suficientes argumentos como para cimentar un cambio evidente.
    Este es el camino a seguir para The Pokémon Company, han creado un proyecto en el qué las razones empresariales brillaban por su ausencia ya que la fórmula clásica seguía funcionando en cuanto a repercusión mediática y que sin embargo han tenido el valor de traspasar una barrera ue parecía infranqueable.

    This game is fun, most of the new things it tries to do are pulled of well, like the new catching mechanic.

    However, the game has many flaws, for example: the draw distance in this game is bad.

    Pokemon Legends Arceus is one of the better Pokemon games I've played and I'm excited to see what they do with the series going forwards, but there's still flaws that can't go unnoticed.

    The new ideas are fresh and exciting. But the game came out ~2 years too early. And it's bad and lazy developed from technical side. Good graphics are not a must have, but this is garbage. Too bad, that too many people still supporting Game Freak. Can't recommend the game for the people who played pokemon since gen1. Scores above 7 are unbelievable.

    Pokemon es seguramente una saga que ha evolucionado y se ha estancado al mismo tiempo, siendo el lavado de cara de Arceus un viento fresco que se agradece. Por fin tenemos cambios, un mundo abierto que se siente vivo y cambiante como mucha gente pedía, novedades en el sistema de batalla y captura, y lo que es más importante, una vuelta a los orígenes que se había perdido para todos aquellos que el competitivo (en el cual no tengo interés) nos la pela: el "hazte con todos". Esto último solo es posible en la actualidad con una pokedex limitada y centrando el juego en esta dinámica como aquí ocurre.
    Pokemon Arceus es un juego que, al igual que ocurre con otros mundos abiertos como el de Breath of the Wild, te invita a perderte, a explorar y a descubrir, y que en general hará que la misión más simple de ir del punto A al punto B acabe siendo de varias horas al desviarte del camino cada vez que veas algo que te llame la atención y haciendote dar muchas vueltas, pasando al plano secundario.
    En otros aspectos; la historia del juego esta bien hilada para ser un pokemon, siendo más madura de lo habitual; el apartado artístico (que no gráfico) es bello y han mejorado las animaciones de muchos pokemons; y el apartado sonoro cumple con buena nota para acompañar la dinámica general.
    También merece la pena hacer mención de que ahora los pokemon no olvidan los ataques, si no que mantienen todos los ataques aprendidos permitiéndonos montar un set de 4 a equipar, lo que francamente hace más llevadero entrenar a pokemons para cubrir roles diferentes a dps al ser más fáciles de subir de nivel cambiándoles el moveset.
    Pero el paralelismo que hacía con los juegos originales no es solo para los puntos positivos si no también para los negativos: los gráficos son extremadamente mejorables (aunque cumple manteniendo los fps estables que es lo más importante dada la jugabilidad) así como algunas animaciones (de los humanos principalmente), completar la pokedex al 100% (me refiero al 100% de cada Pokemon que es diferente de capturarlos a todos) se hace extremadamente tedioso debido a entradas realmente aburridas y repetitivas como usar X ataque 70 veces que no aportan nada (no es necesario para completar la historia al 100% ya que basta con capturar a todos los pokemon); y el leveleo de los pokemon, aunque es bueno en general, en los primeros niveles quizás suban demasiado rápido, siendo estos niveles donde aprenden la mayoría de ataques creo que le quita la gracia a formar y entrenar a tu grupo aunque ese no sea el objetivo del juego.    … Expand

    Although I prefer more track variety, the music is great and fitting to the game.
    The main issues I have (likely said by many) is, the graphics. The pop-in does take away from the immersion as it's so constant. But the game overall looks... passable (not ugly but there is better looking games for sure).
    The other issue is the control scheme, they seem to make the game clunky and the buttons don't make sense. For instance, press "+" (or start) to ride a mount and 'up' on the D-pad to use a menu, why?
    The story has an interesting concept, but felt it was executed in a weak way. It was a whole bunch of fluff in dialogue which I struggled to get invested in after the second zone.

This is the first pokemon game created in a style that is vastly different from previous titles and maintained the pokemon "feel" while making sweeping changes to the overall gameplay loop.

    Pros: Very fresh take on the formula, more action based gameplay, sacrifices very little in terms of staple game mechanics, good pokedex selection, a catching mechanic that stokes envy from the lets go games, varying and noticeable size differences in the pokemon that makes each catch that much more unique, a serviceable plot, much more streamlined "Competitive" building of pokemon that only requires a pokemon to be fed certain items, decent post game content, being able to summon all your pokemon at once in order to chill/ interact with them, interesting options for traversal, new pokemon forms to play with, decent in-game economy encourages catching pokemon and collecting items, and enraged pokemon are huge and fun to capture.

    Cons: Not having multiplayer is a shame given how fun the single player content is, the levels are large but there's not a whole lot to see in them, the appeal of the "open world" wears off towards the end of the game when all traversal mechanics are unlocked, the graphics aren't that great, not enough trainer battles, in my opinion the new pokemon forms are pretty ugly design-wise (decidueye) except for a few (arcanine, typhlosion), and, again in my opinion, the boss pokemon minigame could have been much more fleshed out - it just wasn't that interesting and felt a bit tacked on to me but I feel it is a step in the right direction.

    I had loads of fun playing arceus and was genuinely thankful that gamefreak not only shook up the formula immensely but managed to get so many things right on the first try. None of the cons I listed above stopped me from enjoying the game from start to finish. Its far from a perfect experience, but it is an experience that gets me very excited for future "legends" titles.    … Expand

    What this game did right is being a fun spin off with great out of the box thinking. It was fun to actually find new pokemon and keep coming back to interact with them. The concept was solid as could be. The feeling of pokemon being a genuine danger came across quite well, and it was fun to actually focus on how it would be in real life. I also enjoyed the different pokeball types too. I appreciate that for the most part, you are finally just allowed to explore and enjoy the game instead of being stopped every 10 minutes for some exposition. You get to take the story at your own pace. The actions in the game being tied to speed and having two additional combat styles was also a very neat concept that I think was done pretty well.

    That, sadly is about where it all ends. The bad outweighs the good. This is still a game that had the world of money behind it, and it felt more like an indie game than a real AAA game. Overall, the general UX and UI were half baked. I look forward to the day gamefreak realize you can speed up combat by adding a 2x, 4x, 8x speed shift too. Combat may start and end faster, but its slow as ever in the actual fights. Speaking of that, the battles were sparse and boring. They also often pit you against 2 or 3 enemies with your just 1. Why can't I use multiple pokemon per battle? They fell back on being to conservative in that aspect. Combat was sadly easier than any game to date, and I realized I hardly ever needed to fight. The boss fights were all literally the same, and it was boring every time after the first one. Graphics improved, animations improved, but are still sub-par, in time it seems that will be iteratively improving, but I don't excuse it either way in the here and now. The end of the story felt very rushed and messy. Overall the story had me rather bored, and side quests were also a literal waste of my time so I stopped doing them. There are no unique quest rewards, just common items I can craft in low quantities. Crafting, while interesting, was admittedly, rather limited. I'd have liked more than just 3 pokeball types. Also full heals were pointless because after battle you got cured of status conditions. Another weird thing was a glitch that for me at least, %100 accuracy moves would often miss, for both me and the enemy. The only items I ever seemed to use were pokeballs and potions, and then occasionally food to feed to wild pokemon for pokedex goals. The "HM" pokemon were nice here. They were a great idea in sun/moon but the goofy baby safety gear ruined the vibe, so here they looked good. However I did find the way they worked didn't quite make sense. The flying one was especially bad, it was really just slowly falling, not flying. The lack of ability to do anything multiplayer of note outside of trades was also wildly baffling. This could have been a chance to explore and fill out the pokedex together with a friend in the survey corps. and each task you both did together filled out both pokedexes at once. Of course the biggest thing missing is battles. Honestly why not let me battle someone else? Makes no sense except to keep people buying the terrible gen 4 demakes. This would make up for the fact that this game has no satisfying battles in it at all. Also they removed held items and abilites. So there is that.

    Overall I feel this was a promising step forward, but gamefreak still need to learn how to step up to the plate, and they need to stop pumping out games too fast. This will probably be my last pokemon game that I buy for myself. In future I may borrow a game or sail the high seas, but this feels like the last I'll be playing. The franchise is giving out at this point in the videogames department.    … Expand

It looks like complete **** top to bottom, poor textures/everything, it is unfortunate because it is 2022 now and there have been good looking games on the Switch. The lack of dialogue is tough, characters are pretty hollow, dynamics between the NPCs are muted, some more work could of been done here. Now to the good, the games fluid open world mechanics, battling, gathering, collecting, and mounting all seamlessly flow within each other. It is a lot of fun once you get the hang of the controls, you can basically play like a maniac throwing pokeballs to collect, switching to throwing pokemon to collect, all while switching between your various mounts instantly. The game does gate you a little as you progress, requiring you to level up to progress through the story and soft gate you by making you level up or acquire a new team of Pokémon for a challenging story battle you can't beat. The "boss" battles become repetitive as they are similar in their mechanics and how you beat them, just dodge and throw the food at them, they are very hard to lose. It is a little annoying that it is not a "true" open world game but instead has separate large zones that you move in and out of through loading screens. Ultimately a good play and was pleased with it.    … Expand

    El problema aquí es que Pokemon Company es la empresa de videojuegos que más factura del mundo y tiene a GameFreak con 150 empleados sacando un juego de Pokemon al año. Juegos tan ambiciosos como este necesitan más tiempo de desarrollo y más cariño. Este juego no esta a la altura de los tiempos que corren, sobre todo viniendo de una empresa multimillonaria. Esto no es un juego indie.
    No voy a hacer incapié en el apartado gráfico porque salta a la vista los defectos que tiene, píxeles y dientes de sierra everywhere, incluso en primeros planos, un popping que asusta y mejor no hablar de los pinos esos.
    Hablando del gameplay, el juego en sí es entretenido, aunque el tutorial es bastante tedioso y al cabo de unas horas el juego se vuelve repetitivo. La exploración y los encantos del mundo abierto están bastante limitados por el mal diseño del mapa, hay veces que puedes escalar colinas a saltos y otras que no puedes sortear la piedra más pequeña, por ejemplo.
    A pesar de todas estas críticas, creo, sin embargo, que este juego marca la dirección correcta que debería seguir la franquicia por que tiene mucho potencial, simplemente me gustaría que Pokemon dejase de vendernos betas.    … Expand

An open world Pokemon adventure that just feels right. PLA is not perfect though people were disappointed with the outdated visuals but Pokemon is not really about awesome graphics like other franchises. They focus on collecting and doing the moto "Gotta catch them all." The gameplay was surprisingly outstanding and the highlight of the whole game. The exploration mechanic was superb and the Pokemon battles and catching mechanic was just a dream. Remember the time when Pokemon fans wanted to just throw the Pokeball in a random Pokemon in the wild? PLA gave that experience in a wonderful gaming package.

    The Music of PLA is underrated the 1 person who was in charge of the OST and sound effects needs to get a raise for this. He did a superb job.

    If you want to try a different Pokemon game and you're tired of the old turn base battles, formula. You really should give the PLA a try. It is a refreshing take and one of the best Pokemon experiences I had.

The pokemon species all just kind of spawn in groups at certain spots, without much variation. The graphics are rather poor.

    The game has solid mechanics, but they have a lot of problems, and it's pretty likely they'll be forgotten for next games.

    It's unacceptable how the game actually limits the player in simple things like swiming, which is a human capability, I get that being helped by Pokémon for every simple task is something that comes all the way from 1st gen Pokémon games, but this game seemed like the perfect opportunity to change that, making the player interact in more ways with world the player is in, making exploration and catching Pokémon more enjoyable.
    My next point, the Pokémon battles are the same. Trailers hyped a lot of people by showing new refreshing battle mechanics, making it look like it was going to be more than just moving the stick and pressing the A button ... That before seing the reality. Once again, you are limited to a pretty repetitive turn based combat, and once again, I can see why people actually defend this because that is something that... Well, has been in Pokémon games since the very beginning, but I think I can speak for a lot of players when I say I would have liked to see and play with a different battle style.
    Graphic-wise this is mediocre. I can't see why people actually say it doesn't matter or actually say it is Nintendo's hardware fault, just take a look at BOTW, or some pretty heavy ports like Doom, Doom Eternal, The Witcher 3. Seeing forests with the bare minimung account of trees is disappointing, and it affects immersion. Some areas look plain, with almost no Pokémon to be seen until they pop out of nowhere. And no, I don't say this game needed Ray-Tracing or 4K textures, but as I said, just taking BOTW, that game looks much more solid in graphics.
    Once again, Gamefreak reuses 3Ds' Pokémon models, those that have come all the way from XY, and now they can't justify it AGAIN saying they wanted to make Pokémon look "better", because they are lacking animations in the world asides from walking, swimming or moving the 3D model with no additional animations from the ground to a tree... That until the Pokémon disappears. This game has less Pokémon than Sword / Shield, and that is shameful.
    This was the perfect game to add voice acting, and I can't see why they can't do it, it could save immersion, make the game more enjoyable and actually help convey the emotions of the characters, but once again, they didn't, making the game feel plain, literally wasting somewhat of a decent story the game is trying to tell. A lot of games, even f2p games have high quality voice acting.
    Nintendo Switch has shown to be capable of more than this stuttery mess. And I can't believe this game took ALL of Gamefreak's attention, making BDSP as bad as they are. These two recent Pokémon games have made me see that anual releases may not be the way to go if we want to see decent quality again in Pokémon games.    … Expand

    The underrating shouldn't not be everyone, only E10+. What's with the rating pending, and this could be harmful for little children.

    The story is like parental guidance, and the gameplay is like Monster Hunter World or Rise, like open-world or zone. The game frame rate is not enough to adjust 60fps and 1080p, and the graphic is too similar as Sword and Shield. However, the music,    The underrating shouldn't not be everyone, only E10+.

The game frame rate is not enough to adjust 60fps and 1080p, and the graphic is too similar as Sword and Shield. However, the music, open-world area, and quests that I like is much better. Like music, it was very calm and peace that I can relax my brain without expressing anger. I can believe you don't have enough strong graphic and frame rate is because I'm very disappoint that you put low quality. Even though you compared the Breath of the Wild, the only you compare is Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise. IS this a hub system?!

    The battle mechanic is not bad, strong and agile is much combination, but I'm confuse about the turns. Also, the moves were too small, so I am disappoint that all the moves about 75% are gone!!!!!
    The difficulty of battling is tricky and everyone thing they can't win a higher level, like post-ending, it will start over without check point. The 3d modeling is doesn't make sense, like Pokemon has different colors and it's confusing (think it is shiny). No more trade evolve, YAY!!!!!! The fans think the trade evolve would get stolen and refuse to give it back. I'm impress you add new items, like linking cord.

    Returning to quest, the money is too low, and the rank progress is too slow when progressing the story. Also, wasting poke balls that you catch is a limit amount, and you'll waste and buy it again.

    I think the Game Freak is using the same graphic that the AAA's are having a technical issues, rather than finding a good engine to create their own by themselves. Also, it wasn't not much fun with a multiplayer.    … Expand

Likewise, the side quests in the game are pretty typical and unengaging, which is a huge bummer for those of us who like to complete a game's extra content. The boss battles in the game are super fun - while you still battle in these fights, you also have to, as a trainer, dodge enemy attacks in an almost bullet-hell like way.

Initially I rated the game an 8 but as you play, you see the ugly visuals, battling is terrible in this game, the style system is horrible, barely any moves, lots of battles where it's you versus multiple Pokemon that can all potentially have multiple turns each before you can even do anything, you can send in a Pokemon and have it die without even moving if it's slow because of the styles. The boss battles are a mess, the first couple are fine but by the 3rd you start to wonder what the designers were thinking, certain attacks are basically impossible to dodge and it goes against the idea of the game being more simple(SPOILER example, Arcanine, it's whole thing is it dashes across an arena with lava and you have to leave enough space to dodge him, fine, then he just puts a massive fire ring in the middle of the arena that completely blocks anywhere to dodge sideways as he tackles, but if you go in the ring you die, it's a mechanic that makes no sense and just feels frustrating and cheap because it doesn't require you to react or dodge more, you just can't move out of the way of his attacks at that point but it's just dodging a tackle still). Like they took all the fun and complexity out of the actual Pokemon battles but the boss fights are a nightmare of poorly designed attacks to try to dodge while throwing balms. There are also a lot of small irritating things like 1 save file or how small the satchel is in a game where you're supposed to be constantly gathering things. The game is fun when you're just out catching Pokemon but it has a huge laundry list of problems that only Pokemon could ever get away with , like any other company or game series would be dragged for a game with this many issues and outdated systems.… Expand

    I've played about 40 hours of Legends: Arceus. It's a good game. Is there a lot that could've been done better? Absolutely. Are there some things they should've expanded upon? Yes. Is it a step in the right direction though? Certainly.
    The gameplay is arguably the most important aspect of a game, and I am happy to say that what Legends: Arceus provided is strangely satisfying. When    I've played about 40 hours of Legends: Arceus. It's a good game. Is there a lot that could've been done better? Absolutely. Are there some things they should've expanded upon? Yes. Is it a step in the right direction though? Certainly.
    The gameplay is arguably the most important aspect of a game, and I am happy to say that what Legends: Arceus provided is strangely satisfying. When looking at trailers, you may be concerned that the environments have nothing to really explore. This is somewhat true. The terrain can be a bit dull at times, but there are also times where you'll find yourself wandering into this hidden corner of the map, and you'll be rewarded by various things. Even when the terrain isn't too interesting, you'll find that the Pokemon and items you pick up will make up for it. When it comes to the Requests, it can be a bit mixed. Some will be really interesting, slightly comedic in an almost Pokemon anime fashion, or wield some cool rewards. Others, however, will just leave you looking up how to complete it on your phone due to it just being a boring scavenger hunt. I don't mind having to look for stuff, but I think some hints that would narrow down where to search would've made the experience a lot better. The battles with Noble Pokemon can be surprisingly difficult, and has a very consistent difficulty curve. The only one I have issues with is in the Cobalt Coastlands, and that's mostly because the arena makes it feel like you're fluffing your way through it until you finally manage to somehow beat it. It was still fun, but it could've been better. The one in the Alabaster Icelands has to be my favorite. It's hard, but it's a fun type of hard. The trainer battles are, for lack of a better description, interesting. At the beginning of the story, it's very basic, and comparable to Sword and Shield's battling. By the time you get to the post game though, it leans more towards the "almost unfair" territory you'd expect from Cynthia in Platinum, and arguably beyond that. The battling itself has changed a lot in this game, and my feelings on it are a bit mixed. On one side, it adds a bit of strategy that was appreciated, on the other side, it can seem a bit unfair and annoying, especially when some Pokemon out-speed you right out the gate. The new status effects are actually pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind if they were implemented into Generation 9. The crafting is also a nice touch, and surprisingly well balanced. Overall I give gameplay an 8/10.
    The story is fairly average, until you get to the post game. A lot of it feels like it could've gone deeper, or been explained with less presses of the "A" button. I think two things that Game Freak should learn in the future is to show rather than tell, and to not repeat a single point several times. It's better than it was in Sword and Shield, but it still needs some work. The last plot point in the post game was definitely worth it though. The story is a 7/10 for me.
    Do not expect the best in Legend: Arceus' graphics and animation. Some terrain from far away can look downright ugly, and not properly portray what's actually out there. For instance, if you look at The Heartwood from The Heights Base Camp, almost all of the trees are nonexistent. The anti-aliasing can also be really weird at times, especially around water. The animations department is actually a bit better in comparison. It isn't quite Monster Hunter levels, but most of the animations are good enough to keep you immersed. There are times (mostly while doing requests) where it's somewhat obvious that they took some shortcuts, but it's nowhere near as bad as Sword and Shield. 5/10 for graphics and animations.
    The music is one of Legends: Arceus' high points. It's blissful when you go into The Heartwood or traverse the lands at night, because the music just brings you in. Sometimes you don't want to battle Pokemon just so you can hear some of these tracks without interruption. There are two tracks that play in the Cobalt Coastlands that takes me out of the mood though. "Cobalt Coastlands 1" and "Cobalt Coastlands 1 (Version 2)" are references the Diamond and Pearl's "Route 210" track, and while it fits Diamond and Pearl's tracks, it doesn't really fit the feel you get in the Cobalt Coastlands, which is a "nice, chill day at the beach, but with a pinch of danger". The music has more of a "sprint to the adventure ahead" sort of feel. There are also times where I felt that the "Battle! (Wild Pokémon)" track got a bit repetitive. Maybe if there were slight variations depending on where you were, that would've made it a lot better. There was also this one trainer battle that I wish had some more dramatic music to it instead of the normal trainer theme. All of these are nit-picks though, and didn't in the way of my enjoyment much. An 8/10.
    Overall, I hope that Generation 9 and future Legends titles (if there are any) improve upon this and make something truly great. There's promise here.    … Expand

    I love pokemon legends, the idea of an open world pokemon game where you explore areas, hide in tall grass and catch pokemon or battle them real time is more than I could have ever hoped for in a pokemon game, but let me tell you, the story just gets in the way.. Ask me what happens, I couldn’t tell you… painstakingly boring and just in the way, essentially you fall from the sky, theres a giant rift that you have to close, some pokemon are going crazy, you gotta fix it and of course fill the pokedex… and now were talking, now were at the good part, catching them all, Pokemon legends takes a little over 24 hours to roll credits, however thre are still about 2 to 4 hours post credits of gathering all the legendaries for the true ending so don’t think youre done!essentially you go into an open area, there are pokemon to catch and gather info on by battling, this fills up your pokedex and of course makes your party stronger as you go through the story.. and ther is incentive to actually seeking new pokeomon out and ctaching them with your hand crafted pokeballs, that’s right theres a super simple crafting mechanic here, youl lgather materials as you explore and earn them after battles, you use these materials to craft potions and pokeballs, unlocking new recipes as you fill the pokedex, its so addicting building your roster up, only for the boring story to get in the way, I was skipping through everything I honestly couldn’t care less what was going on, didn’t care to do any side missions.. nothing made me care about anything other than going out and catching them all.. and I really wish this was more of the focus, just let me go explore at my own pace, have crazy hiding spot for rare pokemon, that’s what I want, not lame bioms and checking bak in at the villiage.. but its fine, I still had fun despite the game contstantly throwing speed bumps at me.. and that’s ultimately my biggest complaint, I felt like I was on a chain the whole time compared to the freedom I feel from a mainline pokemon game.. and also, battles… there are rarely any pokemon battles with others in this world, which is probably explained in the boring story I didn’t care about, but still a let down, Im building up a team for what? Just to catch pokemon? But at the end of each story chunk there is a boss battle as well and these are awful you just throw bags of sand at them and dodge their attacks… super repetitive, I would’ve rather just had a straight up pokebattle…
    Pokemon legend has a lot going against it, the lame boss battles, the lack of trainer battles, and the god awful story dragging down the pacing of this game… but you better believed I loved the moments I was set free to hunt and catch, there are secrets to uncover, the battling system is fun, you even keep all of your moves your pokemon learn and can switch them out anytime youd like which I love.. allowing you to really play around with move sets or prepare for certain battles..
    I would love to see this series take off.

I haven't felt a pkmn game had hope to be considered a good game until now. That being said, I am baffled at why GF made this game worse than it needed to be. Fans have been complaining at how long tutorials are and this game's tutorial is a PAIN to play. And yet, for all the new features in the game, the tutorial teaches you none of them really (its essentially just capture a pkmn tutorial). To me that's sort of the story of this game. Fun to play but the game refuses to let you enjoy it. There are SO MANY cutscenes in this game that take you out of the experience. Why you still can't skip them is beyond me. Why I still have to wait for each text scroll before I can continue to the next one makes no sense to me. Honestly, if this game had a skippable tutorial and skippable cutscenes or just none at all - it would be a much more pleasant experience. The sad part about that complaint is that GF has no excuse. Yes the graphics are awful but there's a million excuses I can give for that (no engine, Switch can't handle it, time constraints vs risk of project success, etc.). But the tutorials and cutscene pacing was a conscious choice by GF that could've been avoided. I'm glad this game exists and I'm hoping GF can merge all these changes into a new mainline series of games. As of right now, PLA is a step in the right direction for GF, but unfortunately a super safe dive at change and a continued display of antiquated game design. I would love for GF to continue along this path and not give up but this game is not quite there. Giant leap for a pkmn game but I am tired of giving Pkmn a pass just bc I love the franchise so much.… Expand

Legends arcues is in fact the definitive pokemon experience. As of recent the pokemon franchise has become very stale in it's games with so many half baked games, removal of fan favourite mechanics and some barely decent graphics. Arcues, while not the craziest game graphically legends is gonna save pokemon from further mediocrity. story is fun and quite interesting, while not mind blowing it will have genuine moments of surprise, excitement, sadness and fun. while some characters are quite stale the ones of any importance feel very genuine. game play is spectacular. this is the game (gamepley wise) is what we've wanted pokemon to become since we all played our first games. catching pokemon in the wild is extremely rewarding. Battles are fun with agile style and string style being a fun integration and something i wish would become apart of the mainline series as i found it to genuinely change up the fights, with getting more chances to attack after another exhilarating and your opponent attacking multiple times is while enraging you know most time it's something you could have avoided with the right tactics. The graphics are pretty good. All round the world is fun and nice however a clash of artistic stylisation and over all world building causes things to become flat and lesser than intended. the glitches too, while i've only experienced one i fell that mentioning of glitches is needed in this review as some have reported man glitches being a common occurrence for them and so all who read this should be cautious of such. Legends arceus is the direction pokemon is heading. While it isn't the main series of games, im hopeful that aspects of this game go into the main games and i'm excited to see more regions in the past, my most anticipated being a legends game set in Kalos, Galar and Unova would be the most incredible ones to play in my opinion. if you want this game, get it. if you ever want to get into pokemon or come back to it.

    Mes points    Un jeu Pokemon qui apporte des nouvelles mécaniques et une façon de jouer comme on en attendait depuis longtemps. C'est un bonheur de pouvoir se balader dans des zones ouvertes avec la possibilité de rencontrer et chasser les Pokemon à vue. Dommage que la technique de base soit raté... J'espère que Game Freak conservera les points positifs de ce jeu pour ses futurs jeux.

    Mes points positifs:
    - Un jeu Pokemon en temps réel, tu croises un Pokemon tu peux l'attraper directement ou l'affronter
    - L'univers dans lequel on est plongé, l'humain craint les Pokemon par sa méconnaissance de celui-ci, ce qui rend le jeu plus "sérieux"
    - Une difficulté plus relevée qui accentue le côté Pokemon sauvage et dangereux que le jeu veut véhiculer.
    - De bonnes idées pour améliorer l'ergonomie de jeu, menu agréables, gestion des capacités plus simples, évolution maitrisées, les déplacements en montures , les points d'efforts au lieu des IVs EVs
    - Des zones ouvertes dans lesquelles il est agréable de se balader et y croiser des Pokemon ou autres
    - On peut capturer réellement TOUS les Pokemon disponible sur un seul jeu.
    - Le système de craft
    - Les combats de boss accessibles à tous via les option recommencer depuis le début ou à partir de la jauge actuelle

    Mes points négatifs:
    - La réalisation technique au niveau des graphismes, clipping et le ressenti général est mauvais. J'aime Pokemon mais à certains moment on sort juste de l'immersion du jeu ou on arrive pas à y retourner. Des étudiants en école d'animation 3D peuvent aisément trouver les nombreux défauts sur le jeu.
    - Les quêtes secondaires inintéressantes, aucun intérêt de les faire sauf celles qui améliorer la boutique ou champs de récolte
    - La quête de récolte des 107 flammes de Spiritomb qui prolonge artificiellement la durée de jeu... Quand l'histoire principale est finie ou au bout d'un certain temps vous devriez juste indiquer la localisation de celles-ci. Le jeu est déjà assez moche pour ne pas avoir envie de s'y balader trop longuement et en plus la distance d'affichage fait que les flammes peuvent mettre du temps à apparaître même à 3 mètres...

    Pokémon is slowly turning into a cheap JRPG. The graphics are shockingly bad with a very poor frame rate, the tutorial lasts for over an hour and that’s with rushing through dialogue. The game interrupts you constantly from playing to force you through bland and generic NPC cutscenes with forgettable characters that have nothing to interest to say.

    The world is barren and has very little atmosphere, and nothing worth exploring.

    People that excuse this game deserve the mess that it is.

    Update: If you can stick it out for a few hours more then the game lets the training wheels off you and you can start to have some fun. Still not great.    … Expand

    Definitely not a bad game. It handles its mechanics perfectly, and as long as it doesn't try to talk at you, you'll enjoy it. It's the first step on the road to new games with Pokémon on the cover, and the good sales could be the main reason to continue similar work and experimentation. [Issue#317]

    Acreus came out just a few months after Diamond & Pearl remake. Isn’t that too soon? Actually, no. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the most innovative, revolutionary, and maybe simply the best Pokémon game of the last decade. [Issue#259, p.48]

    This really does feel like a big step forward for a series that famously plays things safe, and I'm excited to see where the franchise will go next! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 72]
