      @@CurrieG16 True, but that would only have led to more stable and maybe a bit more optimized games. What I imagine would be a game with S/V's world and story, but L:A's sidequests, catching and visual changes to battles (without the Agile/Strong system) for example, which would only be possible if they really took the time and ambition to fuse both concepts together.

  • @daniwanicki
    @daniwanicki Рік тому +147

    Just started playing pokemon legends arceus, it's everything I wanted the original pokemon to be! There's a more natural bond between you and your pokemon as you fight in the wild and interact with the environment. They did a good job making the player feel immersed between crafting system, fluid combat and strategy (ability to change moves at a whim), incentive to complete the pokedex and making it a fun challenge. Even the pokemon attacks seem more impactful like they actually hit your opponents. I haven't felt the same level of excitement since pokemon yellow first came out on gameboy color.
    All the other games in the franchise stuck to the old original formula for combat that felt slow, clunky, and made filling the pokedex a chore. As more pokemon are added with each generation, there needs to be a streamlined approach to "catching them all", and legends does that perfectly. I hope they make more games similar to legends just with better graphics and gym leaders to battle.

    I like how the main character is treated in Legends Arceus, definitely different from the other mainstream games. Rather than an unattended child exploring a region, you’re treated as a possible threat, an outsider met with suspicion and have to earn your keep as a researcher. It’s not an original theme, but a first for the Pokémon franchise.

    Legends Arceus is one of my top five favorite games, I love the connection of the player with Arceus, I adore the story and how it has mystery dungeon vibes
    The story had so much mystery and meaning to it! Not to mention how the Npcs felt like real characters!
    Hisuian Deciduye was so adorable and the hisuian Pokemon designs are so amazing!
    The lore is so interesting, Cylene and professor Laventon act as a mother and a father figure to the player, they are very special
    After ranger and mystery dungeon, the player clearly sides with Pokemon in a mainline game, this makes town residents and most of the galaxy team members suspicious of the player
    Everything about legends, from the music to the story is everything I've ever wanted from a Pokemon game and I'm glad Pokemon SV is following some of its footsteps
    Pokemon SV is a very beautiful game, I adore Miraidon so much and it has so much personality! Rotom in Alola had formed a strong friendship with the MC and it was so refreshing, I'm glad they did that with Miraidon/Miraidon as well!
    The story is very beautiful and it has many important lessons
    Miraidon is too adorable, I really didn't think I would end up loving Pokemon SV so much!
    Hopefully they end up making more legends games and more mainline games with important messages and friendships between the Mc and the Pokemon!

    WTF LEgends Arceus looks amazing bro the design aspects looks so much nicer. They even kept the Tall grass, it makes sense to crouch in there than scarlet and violet with no tall grass. Also its a bit like a kung fu game the moves look way more cooler and more exaggerated. They foucus on the game different to how they did to SV. It looks more engaging. Physically throwing the pokeball yourself is freaking mint idea. The only reason why I didn't buy PLA is because it is NOT multiplayer. So playing by myself is kinda boring sometimes. I already play BDSP by myself and SV that union circle is the main reason I got it for. Also PLA pokemon in the past is a such a cooler concept, I dont have to wear some school uniform I could look like a ninja like Im in Japan hunting for pokemons. Man that sounds super legit!

S/V has so many glitches it's not even funny, not to mention the ridiculous frame drops.

    I really liked Arceus. I think it’s easier for most fans to prefer Arceus to S/V because Arceus is the only one of its kind that is about studying Pokémon in an open world. S/V does have some open world too, but it’s just another Pokémon game with an open world, which was fine and fun for one playthrough, but the mainline Pokémon games have gotten so child-locked that villains aren’t even villains anymore and there’s no real plot anymore. I miss the older gen plots where Pokémon were murdered or abused for organizational purposes. Now all we have is “i was bullied so i turned punk” and a 10 year old with no villainous plan is the mastermind of if all.

    As far as which game runs better, feels more complete, and feels so immersive, Legends: Arceus wins by a mile. You can just tell when you play SV that they spent so much time on Area Zero, that they forgot the entire rest of the game surrounding Area Zero. The Area Zero design and plot was good, but everything else in SV falls awfully short, especially in comparison to Arceus.

    I love both Arceus and Violet, and just wish both had been given more time. Arceus suffers from an artistic point, but is otherwise pretty solid. Violet? Well, it's the first time I've EVER had a switch game crash. It's in dire need of bug fixes and optimization.

    Scarlet and Violet reached higher heights than Legends Arceus in terms of story and scale, but also dropped to lower lows with its performance. As soon as I reached the true ending of SV, I booted up LA and didn’t want to let it go because the gameplay flow was consistent all throughout. I realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but having to sit through almost a full minute of text boxes going over every stat change and status ailment after tasting the faster pace of LA’s combat was like a chore.

Its the same old story since the Red Blue. The Pokemon company tried to sell us that SV had 3 story lines and choose your own path. Yeah right its the same formula, not a bad thing, but it's very basic. Even Arvins story really isn't that deep. If SV had PLA mechanics of catching, wild Pokémon attacking, better battle animations, the ability to actually be able to run from a battle and not just a text screen giving you the option to run. SV was 2 steps forward 3 steps back.

The characters in the game made it clear at the begging that they wanted you to explore the world and figure things out for yourself, make decisions for yourself. The past pokemon games made decisions for you that's why there was a order. But in scarlet/violet that game wants u to be more independent of your own actions. Example: if u did manage to go to a gym 5, 6, 7, or 8 with a level 15 Fuecoco then that's on you. Your responsible for your own actions. The game doesn't wanna hold your hand throughout the journey.
