    cosas malas de este pokemon: este juego reduce los frames de animaciones de pokemons a pocos metros para que no explote el juego. Que en la charla con la jefa esa el Abra tiene la animación de la cola a la mitad de frames y está a 3m de ti.
    Poco se habla del tutorial de 2 horas que tiene el Pokemon Arceus para cuatro mecánicas que tiene el juego.
    Perder horas volando por el más vacio esperando que un shiny aparezca a los dos metros de distancia de visión es horrible, en comparación a los juegos clasicos me parece muy completo con sus fallos obviamente, el tema de la Pokedex me gusta mucho, siempre hablo de mi gusto personal y no defiendo a gamefreak.    … Expand

    Es una beta que venden por 60 euros.
    La gente se excusa diciendo que los gráficos no lo son todo y menos en Pokémon, pero esos gráficos no es que sean malos, son una basura. El juego es muy repetitivo, no hay vida en el mundo, los personajes son piedras que no se mueven.
    Lo que digo una beta que venden cómo un buen juego.

    Huge Pokemon Fan here.

    In my opinion this game is one of the worst Pokemon games of all time.
    I like the fact that they finally tried out something new, but Game Freak has failed.
    The music is lame and boring.
    The graphics are from 2004 (Botw is from 2015 and looks thousand times better).
    The world is empty and very generic, some places are just copy-pasted.

    The graphics are pretty sub-par for 2022 but that stops mattering 20 minutes into the game.

I feel like fun hasn’t been part of a Pokémon game in a while. I love being chased down by random aggro mons. I love the fact that there is an actual story. The ability to craft and farm is also a nice touch. Being able to swap a Pokémon's move on the fly is a great quality of life feature. Say what you want about this game but it is a step in the right direction. There’s plenty they did wrong but plenty also done right. I hope to see this “Legends” series continue.

    The bad:

    The story is not very good and the lack of voice acting, considering the graphics, doesn't do the game any favours
    The game wants you to complete the Pokedex but a couple of really BS long term collectathon puzzles that artificially pad out time
    Most of the best parts of the game are locked to after the credits or even 50 hours in.
    The story is gated by Pokedex progression

    The good:
    Exploring areas and finding new Pokemon is fun
    The game has made filling the Pokedex a significantly more active task
    The new battle system is better and creates closer and more strategic battles
    The final act of the story is enjoyable
    The soundtrack has some genuine bangers

    Pokemon Legends Arceus asks you to complete the Pokedex fully to unlock the whole game to be able to then turn around and appreciate the value of what you played, but a big if here is "How many people are really going to do that?" at least 80% of players are not going to reach the very end and are as a result going to leave this game having experienced a mediocre story with an enjoyable final act. Some players will reach the end of the post-game story quest which genuinely has an awesome conclusion and is honestly challenging, but very few are going to reach the very end.
    This game is rich with little optimisations to the Pokemon formula. The rocks and trees that you throw your Pokemon at to gather resources for crafting are a great system. The ride pokemon that allow you to travel faster, over water, and through the air or up mountains, is a great system. The addition of Strong and Agile Style and the Move Order really make long battles way, way better. Once you get a grasp of how to work the system it is excellent. The cheeky moves you can do and your opponents will also do make battles significantly more even fights than ever before. It is unfortunate that very few trainers in the game have large parties of Pokemon that allow the system to shine. Crafting is great, for the most part wild Pokemon behaviour is great. The Pokedex challenges that change from Pokemon to Pokemon keep the game fresh. The boss fights are a good idea that has a lot of potential, but some of them didn't land this time around.

    This game is brought down so much by its graphics and GameFreak's pulled punches. The game is simply ugly. The ugliness of this game never relents and is at all times making the experience worse than it could be. Textures are constantly being reused, Pokemon load distance can be fine but it can also be abysmal, with Pokemon loading only if you're a few metres away if you're flying over. It feels like GameFreak hasn't tried, and that this game is more so a pitch to the playerbase, asking "How does this new gameplay loop feel?"

    To me, this game has landed well because I've always enjoyed the catching pursuit of the game. I want to see where this game takes us. Gamefreak has done some excellent things with this game and from here it's a matter of trimming the fat like the artificial time-sinks or the story progression gates, and refining what else has potential here. Battles go largely unsung and that is a shame, Pokemon feel more alive than ever in their environments, boss fights are pretty cool, the story was one of the best Pokemon stories and it really wasn't good for the most part. Improve and add more of these parts of the game that have potential and eventually we'll have a great game.    … Expand

    Tout le reste est négatif, on a la une bêta : Difficulté toujours ridicule, techniquement a la ramasse, monde vide, scénario gaga, pokédex peu généreux, pas beaucoup de choses à faire au final.
    En espérant que le prochain pokémon Legends soit plus travaillé.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game, been playing it non-stop for the past few days and can say that I’ve experienced enough of the game to give a true heartfelt review. Legends Arceus, as a Pokémon game is incredible, it’s a refreshing new take on the tired old Pokémon formula while also streamlining many features originating from the older games. As a stand-alone game however, this game is still good but I can’t sing praise about Legends without taking about the graphical quality. On handheld mode, the graphics look perfectly fine and most people probably could get used to it within a matter of minutes however, docked the graphical issues are made much more apparent with the game looking like something from the GameCube or Wii era. In short, Legends Arceus is a great game and for those still on the fence about it, I highly recommend you try it sooner or later.… Expand

    This new Pokémon game has an interesting concept but the fresh air is not that well executed. Exploration is quite nice, although is not the best in open-world gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a huge leap for its franchise and just a fun and good Pokémon game.

    You start with a good and deservedly long tutorial.
    If you are a long die-hard fan of the Pokémon franchise, you immediately notice the fundamental changes that were made. You actually get a good introduction into the new movement and the catching system. If you are someone that is in some way unbiased and pick up the game because it looks interesting, it is just as good. Unlike many Pokémon games before this (e.g. Sword & Shield), this game actually has depth and story that I would let adults enjoy. It's a world in which Pokémon are wild, people are afraid of them and don't even dare to touch them. If you do not come prepared or act rashly, you can very well lose your life from an NPC's standpoint. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the situation people of the Hisui region are facing. The tutorial doesn't start with you yet again saving the professor from a life and death situation, choosing your starter and off you go... I like it!

    Graphically, there is a lot of room for improvement. Textures are somewhat presentable. Playing in handheld mode eases the pain but once you plug it into the dock and hook that thing up to a 4K-TV, you just notice the many rather unattractive aspects this game sadly has to offer.

    Being already on the visual points, the attack animations are crisp and look very good.
    NPC's finally look more like actual people with more added facial expressions, less repetitive movements (look up Sun and Moon as a bad example) and a IMO somewhat better dialogue in general.
    Most character designs are creative, stick out and are memorable. Their personalities are not nearly as one-sided as what we are used to in the latest games so that even e.g. a group of thieves you encounter after a couple hours of gameplay explains, that they just steal in order to survive. There is just more reasoning behind the tasks and conversations you are faced with.

    The "multiplayer" (if you can even call it that), is so minuscule that you would forget there even is such a thing. I would say that it actually adds to immersion that you are mostly alone in these open-world-levels but I would still gladly take an improvement to the current solution of just picking up other players lost items for a slight reward.

    Trainer battles are very scarce. In a way it makes sense, since there shouldn't be many trainers around anyway (speaking logically). It doesn't lack of fighting in general since you do this more than enough with other wild Pokémon but there is a slight lack of the 'ol tiny bit of competitiveness you would get in defeating the Elite four. I would like to see more options to choose and challenge certain NPCs for a battle. There actually is a training ground in the village that story wise is maybe used only a couple times? (by the time I have played, there was only one battle on it). There is no real fighting interaction you can do to challenge someone.

    The Music is good, the sound design has gotten better (i.e. you actually hear an echo of your Pokémons screams when fighting in ruins) and the engaging gameplay with its new fundamentals of stealthily sneaking up to Pokémon in order to catch them, actual trainer vulnerability and the other already mentioned things is just fun!

    And that's what this game is: fun!
    To me it is safe to say that this level of lore, depth, atmosphere and gameplay and design should be the new standard for this franchise!    … Expand

    So first off: the first hours of the game are great. New Experiences, nice ideas and the whole setting is great.
    But: after the first hours this game is just a grind. Everything is repetitive and it gets boring.

    World: the world is just boring, no mysteries & nothing to really explore. Besides this the graphics are awful. The citys are all just copy and paste and the pokemon in the world are acting like robots.

    Also is the game on the technical level like a N64 game (bad animations, bad rendering, ....)

    So lets sum it up: Pokemon is finally progressing but not nearly enough. This game would be okay for like 30$ but not as a full price title. Of course some players will have fun with the game and they like to just grind the same things over and over again but this game is far away from being good. We shouldn't forget that this is not an Indie-Game (even if it looks like one) - this game is from GameFreak and its one of the most profitable franchises of the industry. So i just recommend everyone to wait for a massive price drop.

    Have fun & stay safe !    … Expand

    Great game, I've never been this excited about playing Pokemon since I first played it in the third generation. In my opinion, this new formula should be the future of the franchise. I just didn't give it a 10 because I believe the graphics is a little out of date, just a little, but that doesn't affect the player's experience at all.

    So what could be better and should be addressed either for a new game or even DLC:

    -The graphics, obviously
    -more diverse Pokemon behaviour
    -more rich open world, with more interesting viewpoints
    -sorting options for the Pokemon boxes
    -maybe biulding villages from the groundup in the wild (like Taburasa in Breath of the Wild), as kind of a way to tame the wilderness

    The gameplayloop just feels very rewarding and it's so much fun. With a little more polish in future games the franchise will reach new heights.

Ich erwarte von einer Millionen Franchise Marke wie Pokemon mehr als nur eine mehr schlecht als rechte Kopie von Monster Hunter Rise Elementen. Das Spiel hat eine Unterirdische Grafik und selbst für die Leistungsschwache Switch ist das nicht ok, siehe MH, BotW, Xenoblade chronicle etc. Ich verstehe auch nicht wie der Gameplayloop Spass macht, denn es besteht eigentlich nur aus Rollen und Ball werfen + manchmal etwas Kämpfen auf nem sehr einfachen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Dieses Pokemon hat einfach alles Wegrazionalisiert, was Pokemon ausmacht. Es gibt kein PVP, nur eine Handvoll Trainer kämpfen, keine Ligen oder wirklichen Challenges, keinen richtigen Plot (hatte Pokemon nie aber man hier ist die Story echt flach) usw. Die Gelbcolorierten Boss Pokemon muss man auch nicht bekämpfen, es reicht zu Rollen und dem Vieh ein Säckchen an die Birne zu werfen dabei wirkt es nicht sehr fordernd.
    Das Spiel bietet eigentlich nichts ausser Grind, da du x-mal dieses Pokemon fangen musst, x-Beeren geben sollst und x-mal dieses Pokemon Person A-Z zeigen sollst. Die hohen Wertungen, kann ich nur verstehen, wenn sie von Casual Spielern kommen, welche leider ausser den Mobilegames keine wirkliche Gaming Erfahrung besitzen. Ich sage nicht das Spiel kann einem nicht Spass machen aber für mich jedenfalls ist dieser ewige Grind und die Wiederholenden Aufgaben mit der minimalistischen Grafik und der etwa 20h beschäftigungs Foltertherapie nichts.

    Positiv: - Was neues probiert

    Negativ: - Freche MH Rise Kopie von Mechaniken (Map mit Biomen, Quest Dorf, crafting, etc) in viel schlechter
    - Unterirdische Grafik
    - Wiederholender langweiliger Loop und Grind
    - keine Voice Ausgabe in 2022 (Das wäre doch mal ein Fortschritt)
    - Nur etwas mehr als 200 Pokemon
    - Keine guten Funktionen aus älteren Teilen übernommen (Mega Entwicklung, Schwierigkeitsgrad, Pvp etc)
    - Reduktion der Attackenmovesets auf ein Mimimum
    - Kein Multiplayer
    - Framerate einbrüche aus der Höhle
    - Wird sich verkaufen wie heisse Schokolade weil halt Pokemon drauf steht

    Fazit: Hiesse dieses Spiel nicht Pokemon, dann würde es wohl als schlechter Monster Hunter Rise Wannabe Klon abgestempelt werden. Nostalgie ist echt ein Grausamer „ich Aktzeptiere alles Faktor“.    … Expand

    * There's something very satisfying running across a Pokemon you didn't know was in the game or that is a rare spawn. Pikachu, Eevee, Chimchar, etc are all available in the first area.

    * You can choose when to evolve your pokemon once they have met the requirements.

    * You can switch out moves anywhere at any time as long as the pokemon knows them. No more forgetting moves and having to reteach them if you mess up.

    * "Boss" Encounters are fun and challenging at times. Although, you're not gonna lose anything if you die.

    * A specific mechanic (no spoilers) that opens up mid story is VERY challenging if you want to go after them for the rare items and spawns.

Pero al final el hype tira y lo compra, descubriendo un juego que en dos huecos que he tenido para jugarlo me enganche...y creo que mucha gente se ha llevado una sorpresa grata.… Expand

    Graphics are bad but other all of things is perfect just buy it.

    Grafikler oyun için eski ama kendi içerisinde bir sanat tasarımına göre yapılmış bu onu çok kötü kılmasada botw örneği maalesef hep düşündürüyor. Ama onun dışında bir pokemon oyununda keşke bunlar olsaydı dediğimiz herşey var alın abi

    A wonderful new direction for the regular Pokémon games, and certainly a welcome one. Yes, graphics could be better, but they do not undermine the core gameplay loop. I have not had any framerate issues either. The difficulty spikes sometimes, which was unexpected for a (current gen) Pokémon game. The story is accessible for its audience.

    Es una vergüenza que una de las franquicias que más dinero genera trate con tan poco respeto a sus fans como para cobrar 60 euros por una versión alpha de un sistema de captura. La única razón por la que es entretenido, que lo es, es por ser Pokémon.

    Pokémon es la saga más famosa que conocemos, nadie que esté mínimamente metido en el mundillo lo podría negar, el problema es que los que hacen el videojuego también lo saben y aplican la ley del mínimo esfuerzo en cada juego desde hace unos cuantos ya, pero es que en este es una pasada de rosca monstruosa, me explico.

    Vamos a pasar este tema rapidito porque es el que más destaca a    Pokémon es la saga más famosa que conocemos, nadie que esté mínimamente metido en el mundillo lo podría negar, el problema es que los que hacen el videojuego también lo saben y aplican la ley del mínimo esfuerzo en cada juego desde hace unos cuantos ya, pero es que en este es una pasada de rosca monstruosa, me explico.

    Vamos a pasar este tema rapidito porque es el que más destaca a simple vista, pero no es ni de lejos el mayor de los problemas, los gráficos y la dirección artísitca, los pongo juntos por el simple hecho de que mi opinión sobre los 2 es la misma, lamentable, las texturas están sacadas de un juego de ps2 (y de los mediocres), aun por encima el juego es horrendo visualmente, no es ni bonito de ver, tiene una paleta de colores horrenda, lo único que es decente es el cielo, que está bien, FIN.

    El mundo, Jesús bendito menudo insulto, "mundo abierto" pero que va, llegas al pueblo, que viene siendo el "hub" entre misiones e investigaciones, llegas a la puerta y, sorpresa! Te sale una pantalla la cual seleccionas a la zona de capturar que quieres ir, a lo Monster Hunter, pasémoslo por alto, porque claro, vamos a explorar al menos una zona con detalle e interés, bien, la primera zona es una pradera y puedo contarte lo que encontrarás, 3 tipos de árbol diferentes, montañas que delimitan la zona, una textura de suelo PLANA, mineral al cual le tiras un pokémon y lo recoge, lo mismo con los arboles que dan bayas, rocas de adorno (iguales) y por supuesto los Pokémons, tiene un interés nulo, no hay secretos, no hay zonas que llamen la atención, la distancia de dibujado es ínfima, es que es una cosa que de verdad, lo ves, y jamás dirías que está hecho por una compañia millonaria a todos los niveles, es una falta de respeto a los fans alucinante.

    (Para los que ponen de excusa "es que es la Nintendo Switch que es una patata y los gráficos pues cojean", claro, es que el Monster Hunter Rise o el Zelda salieron para PC y por eso parece que están 2 generaciones por encima, tanto por gráficos, como esfuerzo en hacer un mundo interesante que explorar, este pokémon esta más cerca de un pokemon snap con una mínima historia y quitando los raíles que de cualquier otra cosa.

    Ya he opinado sobre la saga en su momento, y tengo que reconocer que la idea de este juego me gusta, capturar los pokemons de forma más "salvaje" explorar el mundo si este fuera interesante, y los combates iniciándolos sacando tu pokemon al mundo directamente, fluye, pero es que es tenemos que exigir mucho más a una franquicia gigantesca, me encantaría que siguiera por esta línea, esta idea de juego, el problema es que el siguiente será otra aberración porque saben que venderán una locura haciendo lo mínimo posible por los fans que se hartan a soltar 10 y 9 solo por ser Pokémon, a otra compañia no le permitiríamos esto y lo sabemos.

    CONCLUSIÓN:
    Si mañana me dijeran que el juego lo han hecho un estudio desconocido que se dedica a portear juegos de móvil me lo creería sin dudarlo, parece un early access en una versión muy muy temprana, pero no, es la franquicia más grande del mundo riéndose en tu cara.    … Expand

    It is just a disrespect to players to deal with such an outdated graphics, if GF doesn't know how to develop a 3D game they should stick to 2D.

    In my opinion this game is the best pokemon experience ever created. It has addictively fun gameplay and the crazy part is that it seems like it was made to be a test prototype. The things missing are the traditional pokemon tropes like gym battles and even random trainer battles. If those two things existed in this game it would definitely be a 10/10.

The things missing are the traditional pokemon tropes like gym battles and even random trainer battles. If those two things existed in this game it would definitely be a 10/10. The access to being able to fully evolve your pokemon, switch out moves sets on the fly, and an easy to understand EV/IV system should be a staple to the series moving forward. This is a new bar that the franchise will have to beat going forward.… Expand

    This is the way that pokémon games should be. The graphics is not that bad and actually it's a sort of unique for Pokémon games.

    To be honest, I expected less. However, right at the game entrance I was amazed to see how diffrent the game feels. I thought that PL: Arceus would be lackluster and new fighting style of Pokemon wouldn't be as entertaining and simply won't have the same effect, nevertheless I was proven wrong. I could've wrote even more about this masterpiece of a Pokemon game, but I am too lazy :p.

    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]
