- Here’s our review of the brand new Pokemon Legends Arceus on Nintendo Switch. Apologies about the delay had to get to the end of the story (20 hours) before making this one and honestly it’s quite nice to not have the same pre release embargo conditions. Some of the items I talk about weren’t allowed in the pre release period. Have you picked it up or are you considering it? Here are my thoughts! #PokemonArceus #Switch #Review

Aside from my pronunciation of Arceus changing every five minutes, how did you find this one? Are you enjoying the game and hopefully this was of some use! That pun though, I am so sorry! Mark
This game is beginning to grow on me
Is it bad that I want Evee to evolve into Patreon now? And where is Charmander?!
Completely addicted to the gameplay while being disappointed by graphics and how often game freak use black screen to not animate interactions. Dodging and throwing pokéballs and items feels great and having to populate pokédex entries reminds me of the awesome New Pokémon Snap
@@kaidorade1317 lol!
Brilliant review. You did massive justice to this game.
Quite a few of the naysayers misunderstand it for what it is; an expedition game in its own right but underlying it is the new formula and blueprints for future Pokémon games to all look up to and follow. Of course it _can_ go fully Open World from here, with Towns etc. It's all about that initial change in Direction but presenting in to Us in this 'expanded Safari Zone' format is genius!
Great review, friends!
I’m about 15 hours in. This is the most fun I’ve had with a Pokémon game in years and years. I’m really hoping this is just the groundwork for what Gen 9 will be. Give me this style with towns, gyms, trainers, new Pokémon, etc… and I might cry. The capture mechanic and exploration are glorious. Even the side quests and extra bits are fun (trees, rocks, crafting, ranks, etc…). Super impressed with this game. And it’s only the beginning.
It was a huge letdown for me to see that this game didn’t have the towns and gyms. I loved that progression in previous titles, but the more I’m seeing about Legends, the more I’m thinking about buying it!
Personally I really like the direction this has gone in with the RPG elements it makes it feel fresh rather than that of the same old of the last 25 years, that's my opinion
Completely agree -now grab that guitar and let’s have a version of the pokemon theme! Haha! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt hahaha right I best get learning it after I catch that lvl 40 rapidash 😜
@@SwitchUpYt Completely agree with this too, Pokemon games were just the same thing over and over again for all most three decades. I’m very thankful of the change too.
The visuals can be questionable, but I think the fun I’m having with Pokémon Arceus overrides it enough for the time being for me, and it’s a relaxing game to play too, even with the slightly revised battle system, which I find a plus point of the game 😊
This is the BEST review I’ve seen about this game! You totally captured the good and the bad without having to trashing it down. For me this is a completely different Pokémon experience. With some work on the graphics department, voiceovers and some refinement on the story line, I think this can be HUGE! But honestly I’m quite happy I bought it. Super fluid, you can just go out and about catching your Pokémon in a more personal way I think! Must buy IMO
Thank you - I am surprised by how little hate the review has seen thus far! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I think that’s because you did a great job with the review! As always eheh I really like this channel! Keep with the good work 👌🏻
hope the DLC n the works :D
um, it's SwitchUp after all, their reviews are the best out there :)
They have the best reviews of ALL games they review. Love this channel and it's one of the only ones I watch.
I have been waiting on this review to decide. Always so honest. Think I’m going to buy as it seems like a chill game
It's super chill
It’s so chill that over the weekend while I was exploring the second field area I accidentally had enough points to promote to 6 stars (which gives you access to better rewards and up to lv80 pokes obey you in battle, ultra balls and hyper potion recipe I think), just by attempting to get better at throwing the ball with and without the motion controls enabled and randomly dipping into the space rifts areas for shards and evo mats. The music helps a lot, specially town bgm, I would often just leave the game on while I went around the apartment doing stuff with my headphones on. Honestly think from the 20ish hours I got logged in over the weekend I doubt I spent more than half of it actually running story quests or focusing on researching. In that aspect it’s more more similar to me to another game on the switch, that recently got a release on PC, MH:Rise. There’s quite a lot of things going on Arceus that reminds me a lot more of Rise than BoTW when you actually look at it. The crafting, how the game is divided in a hub and fields, how the inventory works, the material collecting and crafting and so on.
yes, that's exactly it. Once you get through the VERY dialogue heavy intro sections, it becomes this really chill exploration game. The incredible ease of foraging along with the incredible sense of wonder as you crest a hill and see a new pokemon, it's great.
I’m busy now, but popping in to boost that algo.
Lots of us were looking forward to this review from you all, thanks for getting it out so quickly! 🙌🏽
Hey thank you mate! (Leave it playing on mute get that algorithm popin haha! ) Mark
@@SwitchUpYt hahaha you already know! Leave it playing upside-down 😅
Great review guys! Im only a handful of hours in so had to pop headphones in and just listen to this one to avoid spoilery footage. I just find it a delight to listen to your guys take on games and such honest and open reviews!
I am loving the game so far and it really feels fresh.
I appreciate you guys. Feel happy that a series I love so much gets a score like this from a channel I love alot as well.
I’m still quite early in my gameplay time. But from what I’ve seen so far I’m enjoying the game.
Like I’ve seen someone else say in this comment section. This game is a solid blueprint for future games. Laid a solid foundation if you will.
This game has done many things right and many things it so right. I think this game would have been better if it was worked on for another year. Even if to just optimize and polish some things.
Ultimately I hope they make more of this type of game in the future. Take what worked well with this game and fix/adjust things that are not working as well.
Thanks for the review SwitchUp.
And to Those who try this game I hope you can find at least some fun and enjoyment in this game.
I’m really interested in the changes to battle mechanics alongside managing your Pokémon’s evolutions and moves it definitely makes things more interesting. I hope they end up adding them to mainline Pokémon games in some shape or form
Well as usual I find myself agreeing with most of this review, you guys are very objective and that is one of the reasons I am subbed. As far as the visuals go I found bumping down the sharpness on my tv helps. Pokémon feels refreshed with this title and the adult me and my daughter of 8 are both having a wonderful time and can both play it our own individual way!! Cheers!
Cheers mate - we have daughters the same age - mine is absolutely LOVING it so far! Mark
This was a really well done, straight forward review. Thank you for treating this as a game, not with any special fanfare. Even though we know it has it ;). I picked it up on release day and have to add the note that it seemed like the game store I preordered from (Won’t name any names, just gonna Stop it here) ran out of the preorder bonuses! Tons of disappointed fans :(. Nothing to do with the game or anything. But an important note. As if this had been a mainline entry I gaurunteenthey would have had extras of the stuff! Luckily I did get my art cards. And they are very cool. Thanks again for this video!
Great review Mark! The note about being afraid to use consumables really resonates with me. Built up over decades of rpg playing. Also the note about it being quite relaxing… bang on. I think I’ll be sinking tons of time into this game because of its mix of addictive catching and relaxing “at whatever pace you want” game play.
I think this is a great game and a solid evolution for the series. And while the graphics aren’t incredible I quite like the style.
This is the review I’ve been waiting for. I’m definitely gonna pick this game up, but I’ll probably wait until I’ve finished SMT V
You guys really give the best and most detailed reviews of Switch games. Thank you for your hard work each time! This was incredibly helpful! 😁
Very much enjoying this one. I love some of the subtle nods to some other parts of the series, such as the sound the flute makes being from the opening animation from the gen 4 games
Thanks for the video! I got it on release day but I’ve only play 3 hours, nice to see that it holds up!
In all my [REDACTED] years of playing Nintendo, this is the first Pokemon game to even vaguely appeal to me. Which is a good thing, I think (?) Love the idea of the "Lost Satchel"
It's like in Dragons Dogma, when you can give a gift to someones pawn
Yeah I really appreciate inclusions like that - they actually make a big difference to my immersion! Mark
Now if only our pokemon follows us and say "Bidoofs hunt in packs" or something
I was thinking of dragons dogma as well when they showed that feature
You're in your thirties, own it.
And yes, it's the first game that looks worth buying since Red and blue, and Snap.
Yeah ty for the review I was waiting on you guys saw all the other reviews and they either sounded like they were gonna give it lower only to end with a high score not even explaining why keep up the good work guys I’m getting this after this review
Pretty spot on review. I'm really enjoying the gameplay changes and find myself straying from the main plot a lot of the time looking for lost satchels 😆 Happy I watched your review because I completely missed the gyro option 🙏
As someone who no lifed blue as a teen and haven’t been excited about Pokémon since then, I’m so hyped on this game it feels so good to enjoy a Pokémon game again.
Really hoping this is the new foundation and hoping for dlc with a new area and a bunch of new/old Pokémon to add.
The visuals leave a lot to be desired but the core gameplay and exploration is there and that’s why I play video games. If it looked like BotW that would be so awesome!!!! Here’s to the future of Pokémon and as always great review.
See ya 🤗
Amazing review. Point by point what I wanted to see addressed
Gonna try to get this game secondhand
I got arceus and I love the way they gave it a freshness. When I already have a game and you review it I just watch it anyways to support. Cheers mate
Looking forward to this one. I try and hold off on most games unless I see a review from your channel. Thanks and seeeeeeeeya!
Great review as always! I’m personally loving this game!! (Only 3 hours in and I didn’t find the start to be slow as others have said). Highly recommend!!
Great review!
I actually went right from Brilliant Diamond into Arceus, and a half dozen or so hours in, I'm enjoying Arceus way more. It's a lot of little things that are lending to that enjoyment. Movement throughout the world. The seamless switching between catching and battling. The overall feel of said catching and battling. Being in wide open environments where you actually see the Pokemon milling about, meaning no more random encounters and wasting time running around grass hoping to find the 'mon you're looking for. The un-intrusive material collection and being able to craft from the field. Being able to swap out moves on your Pokemon at-will (no more "forgetting"). Quest organization and being able to toggle "guidance" (the game's term for a waypoint marker). The characters, story and world are far more interesting to me in general.
In the interest of disclosure, I have no nostalgia for the series' roots. My first game was Soul Silver, and the only others I've played are X, Let's Go Pikachu, Sword, and Brilliant Diamond. I know this will be an unpopular opinion with long-time die-hard Pokemon fans, but I'd be totally fine with future Pokemon games adopting this game's structure and mechanics. The series needs to evolve and Arceus is a good start.
I've been waiting for this review. Thank you for getting it out, and I'm glad to hear it's worth getting despite the visuals.
Great review, really happy you guys were respectful of keeping it spoiler-free! Some other channels have already posted end-game content 😒. I like to take my Pokémon game experiences nice and slow, and I feel like Arceus lends itself to that anyway. This is also pretty different for me only having “one” game to play and therefore no 2nd game version to try a different starter. (Sorry cyndaquil, the rowlet line is too epic!)
Very happy to see someone on UA-cam that I watched also appreciate Oshawott as well.
Due to snowstorm I haven't gotten the game yet. I hope by Tuesday there weren't any, my game would be that day.
Awesome review! I so want this game but gotta save before I can get it
I’ve never played a Pokémon game (outside of Snap), I even got Sword but just couldn’t get into it. I’ve been on the fence about this game, but this metered review has convinced me to grab it, at least if/when it goes on sale. Def always appreciate you guys looking at each game for what it is. I’m sure it’s easy to phone it in with the big franchises and I see it all the time with other reviewers, ie “it’s not that great but it’s Mario so 10/10!” This is THE channel I come to when I’m looking for a real, honest review. Cheers y’all 👍🏻
Excellent review Mark! I was a bit anxious about this release but you sold it. I’ll probably pick this up at some point and if my daughter has any say in it sooner rather than later ;)
Awesome review as always! I’ve been waiting for your take before diving in… the feelings on this game are quite mixed… but then again… I love Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time… So I’m easy to please. Can’t wait to try this one.
Great reviews guys!
When I saw the leaks I was convinced and pre-order it then. It's such a fresh new experience for any poké fan. A definite must buy! :)
Funnily enough for me I wasn’t very interested in this at first. I picked it up on a whim and have almost 10 hours in it in 2 days… I’m practically addicted to it. I find it very relaxing as well to just roam around and catch the mon. I also enjoy the art style. Yes some thing look dated, however I’ve never played Pokémon for graphical fidelity. I do wish they would bring in voice actors though.
Careful what you wish for. The acting in Snap was terrible.
Looks like a ps2 title rofl
@@criptin4075 nah,it looks better than a ps2 game by far especially on the oled model
@@redcrimson1028 not really, final fantasy 10 looked way better than this lol
I've been waiting for your review on this game. I grew up in the 90s watching Pokemon. I'm adding this to my birthday wishlist. It will be my first Pokemon game. Let's hope it is not sold out by then.
Great video. I bought it Friday as a physical since I wasn’t sure if I’d like it and if not, I could always sell it. Only two hours in but it’s been decent so far. Looking forward to seeing more of the game. (The research stuff is odd at first)
Side note, I legit laughed aloud at the Eevee/Patreon joke 😅
Great review, im really enjoying this game, its not perfect for sure and i definitely would like voice acting and more polish in graphics. I feel this is the game pokemon needed to make and for the first time in awhile I'm excited for the future of the franchise. Cheers guys!
Your channel is amazing , thanks for your very qualitative reviews!
Thank you mate! Mark
The long awaited video is finally here
I’m glad to hear about this actually. However, I think I will wait for the next entry, hope they evolve, and this might be a nice pickup for me.
That outro jam is 🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting for your review! This was a thorough and well scored review. I'm on the fence with getting the game. I've unfortunately played myself to death and beyond with Pokemon GO and haven't recovered yet. Shudders. 😩 And i wasn't interested in the previous Pokemon games due to their faults. This game seems more my cup of tea though. But as I said, on the fence. Your review made me lean to the positive side of the fence though. So thanks for the great review.
Awesome review as always! I’ve been waiting for your take before diving in… the feelings on this game are quite mixed… but then again… I love Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time… What do I know? 😂
To me, this is a good blueprint, as long as gamefreak takes things that worked and adds on, the legends series could become the staple for Pokémon
or they remain the course and continue to be stagnant
@@madmacabre very true, let’s hope for the former
You must be new to pokemon lol
@@fuumaxkamui lol I’m 31 and have been playing since red but nothing wrong with having a thought. This is something that they can improve on, though I never said they would
Honestly, I can see them continuing with adding on what works in future Legends titles, however I think it will eventually end up not taking huge leaps to improve on the games so it could end up like the typical Pokemon release. There is a chance for it to change, but Gamefreak is stubborn like other companies.
The best game journalist around, love the nuance for such a polarizing game (I’m personally loving the flow of everything)
Been waiting for you guys to do a review before potentially buying it. Now I think im going to pick it up. Cheers for the hard work
I’m really excited to play this one! Scored a bit better than I thought it might - great review!
I love the direction this one took Pokemon and I hope it continues this way with a few more refinements. This game is amazing. Also, I love that you pretty much pronounce Arceus different every single time, lol.
I'm liking it overall! Bit of a slow one to start with, takes a while to get into imo but after about 5 hours I'm enjoying it!
Pretty much everything I ever wanted. So impressed and in love with this game.
Visuals are meh and it feels kind of lifeless with the npcs I do enjoy the gameplay though.
Enjoying it a lot. I only take a break from the game whenever I have to recharge my unit after playing for hours straight. Haha. It's still turn based but I really like how you can move around to see the fight play out from different angles. Also worth noting that if you are behind your Pokemon during a battle and the enemy pokemon attacks, you can also get hit. In fact, if you go behind an enemy pokemon and your own attacks it, you also get some damage if the attack reaches you. I think it's a cool mechanic. I just wish some attacks can also affect multiple enemies when you are facing against two or more, kind of like in previous games when you play two vs two. Also, you should be able to bring out more than one pokemon when you are facing against multiple enemy pokemon.
Great review!! I am having so much fun playing this game!
Seen so many mixed opinions on this game so have been waiting for the review that, in my opinion, really matters. I haven't got time to watch this just yet but I will when I have time!
Thank you mate - appreciate youu saying that though! Mark
I've never played a Pokemon game before, but have always been interested. Your review has convinced me to pick it up this morning. Thanks for the review.
I love that this style finally came out. I have been playing for 20+ years and always wanted to be in the fight 💯💪🏽🙃
Great review guy the same points I felt about it as a long term Pokemon player
Thank you mate! Mark
I've played the game around 30 hours now and I'm really enjoying it. Biggest gripe for me besides the graphics is that I wish the Pokémon list was bigger but other than that this is the kind of Pokémon game I've been waiting for for ages. I hope they take this as a blueprint for future titles because I don't think I ever want to go back to the old formula.
I also would've liked a bigger list but in terms of story it kinda makes sense because the story is set years before the pokemon OG pokemon series. Naturally, it would have less to choose from because you essentially have to fill the very first pokedex. The from then on, you expand.
I love the old formula, but I totally agree that I would not want to go back.
@@CarynPretorius You can explain it with the story I guess but in the end it's just technical/time limitations. Though apparently there are 242 Pokémon in the game which is not really a small number.
Actually I think the problem might have less to do with the number of Pokémon but the fact that there are a handful of Pokémon that you find in several regions so you see them so often it feels like there's not a lot of variety. In other games like this the devs would just go and recolor reappearing enemies so it's not immediately obvious it's the same but they can't do that here.
Think they will add dlc with more pokemon and areas...
@@darrennel2741 I would be surprised if they didn't.
@@darrennel2741 I think so too...this game got way too much hype for it not to get dlc
its that abit new gameplay that made it fresh. hope to see more new pokemon with this kind of gameplay loop, or better and refined.
Thanks for the review I've been on the fence about it but know imma pick it up for my kids to try out for the first time
I'm only 4-5 hours into my playthrough...but so far I really love the direction they've finally taken the franchise, here. Sure, the visuals are notably lacking...but it feels like the first pokemon title in the history of the franchise to genuinely respect the player's time. So many subtle changes to the formula that streamline the grind, from catching pokemon, to harvesting resources...it just feels so smooth to play. I'm really enjoying it.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks. That Eve evolving into Patreon was hilarious.
I love this game
Harder then main game as it take time to get parts for potions and revives.
Cost too much in the village shop so easier to make them so you get more involved in the game.
And capture and fighting more fun for me.
seeing effects of moves used to note in you book is a nice touch
Ok ok I'll get the game, haven't played any of them since Pearl on the DS but this looks exactly like what we've been asking for, bar a few graphical annoyances, this looks good.
This review has convinced me.
love the crafting and boss battle red eye Pokemon and potions makeing to keeps me busy hopefully they will keep it in the game moving forward and next time add bit more Pokemon would be great PS you coved stuff that other utubers didn't talking about this other fun you showed in this video hopefully they will keep this kind fun stuff
Lost and found mechanic was used first in Shiren the wanderer I believe, nice to see Gamefreek appreciates the classics
I'm enjoying it so much! Such a fresh change. Its not perfect but still so so fun
Absolutely agree mate! Mark
Awesome review! May i ask the background music at the intro and verdict? Thanks in advance!
Great review. I'm one of the people who had gotten burned out on Pokemon over the years. Every game was basically the same exact story/formula, sometimes carried out in an even worse way than the game before it. I didn't even bother picking up the last few entries, despite really enjoying my first few experiences with the series overall. This new game feels like a breath of fresh air.
I can agree with pretty much everything said in this review. I'd also add that the listing/managing of quests is a real pain. You need to open the map, then hit Y, then hit the shoulder button to even see your side quests. Then you have to cycle through toggling each quest on individually (followed by backing out to the map, then repeating the process for the next quest) in order to see where you need to go to work on them. That whole process could definitely have benefitted from the same streamlining the devs put into other aspects of the game.
The multiplayer options are a bit limited, and I could see that being a disappointment for some (heck, I'd love an option to battle w/my spouse), but I mostly play solo anyway, and as you said, the ability to find dropped pouches from other players and help them out a bit (being helped out in return) makes the world feel a tad less lonely. It would have been cool if the devs had allowed us to specifically help a friend out if that person died and lost something valuable, maybe gaining a bit extra in return. I also wonder how the long term replayability might suffer without the ability to battle other players, but overall I don't miss the multiplayer stuff that much, and could easily sink loads of hours into the game solo if I decide to work on getting every shiny, creating a living Pokedex, etc.
One of my favorite - often overlooked - aspects of this game is the amount of streamlining that's gone into it. I'm not just talking about battling without load screens (though that's awesome). I'm talking about everything else. It feels like the devs actually respect the player's time. There are no repetitive bits of dialogue or text boxes to click through every time a Pokemon appears, plus you can see exactly which Pokemon are around you and decide for yourself if you want to battle/capture them or not (no random encounters or forced, boring battles). I also appreciate the inclusion of visual cues for things like being spotted by hostile Pokemon, as it allows me to chill out and play while watching/listening to other stuff if I want. While the audio is nice, I definitely love the ability to play without it, as the ability to multitask while playing tends to give games like this much more replayability for me, personally.
Overall, this game lets you play how you want, when you want, for as long as you want, and I love that.
I love the part where you mentioned not being able to use the Pokemon due to your star level and I immediately thought of how hard it was for Ash to get Charazard to cooperate with him lol So far that's my favorite feature
Completely unrelated, but finally beat Eastward (which I picked up based on your recommendation). What an epic string of puzzles and fights once you get to the tower.
Im excited to pick it up and try it out! though I will say im pretty sceptical, im a fan of the world but dunno about the artstyle, maybe it will grow on me though :D
Let's go been waiting for this!
I agree with the majority about this review being the best I've watched/read. Despite the warning at the beginning, you pretty much covered everything that I, a lapsed Pokémon fan, needed to hear to be sold on this game.
Still, this means another game this month that I feel compelled to buy, and with a full $80 price tag too. Hooray Canada. I suppose "too many good games" is a good problem to have though.
I was skeptical at first but after watching countless reviews and listening to many a discussion I ordered Arceus. Thanks for the great review switch up
Thanks, I was waiting for your review. I'm convinced, I buy the game.
I LOVE YOUR FAIR AND HONEST REVIEW OF THIS GAME! I've been playing it for the last week and I love Game Freak's ambition! Yes, I agree it is lacking in the graphics department, but these issues are not breaking the game...I find them kinda funny to be honest (especially the disco boulders. Hahaha). Totally worth the money and SO MUCH TO DO! Will be kept busy for a good while with this one! HAPPY GAMING!
Best review!! Good job 👍
Fantastic review, Mark 😎👌
The patreon joke was awesome. Give yourself more credit 🤣
And “raichous”……. As a lifelong TMNT fan, this one got me. Bravo 🎉
I found out about Pokemon very late in my gaming life from the lack of owning a nintendo system before the Switch. I tried getting into it from let’s go Evee to going back to 3ds games to back to Pokemon Shield and just couldn’t get into any of the games.
I decided to try Arceus and have to say I couldn’t be more pleased. I have been completely addicted to the capturing loop from feeling much more involved into the actual act.
I happen to like the side quests and love leveling up trying to find more clothing options.
Thanks for a detailed and honest review. Graphics could use work but I love the game so far
Great review this, couldn’t agree more with you guys.
This is my first time watching your review and I have to say awesome work .now about the game it's a really great game this how pokemon should had been to me it's a reboot and a dam good one I played previous pokemon games and don't get me wrong they are good but the same whole thing and it was getting boring to me and I was really skeptical about this pokemon game and man how it proved me wrong and I understand that everyone says the graphics are not bad but ya have to understand this is for the switch so expect the graphics to be not great would I recommend this game for the full price hell yeah and the story is not boring
I am absolutely loving it so far. It’s a whole new twist that the Pokémon series needed. I think you did an excellent job with the review ann N d highlighted the good and bad parts perfectly
I like how different this game feels to the standard pokemon gameplay loop
i haven't played that many pokemon games in the past. the last being the pokemon game in the 3ds and haven't finished it. This review makes me want to try it. I Just hope it don't bore me.
It's weird, I looked at other reviews and was worried but yours was really spot on. Still won't buy the game since I just have too much in the backlog and I'm enjoying other games atm. Going to deffo pick up soon or wait for archeas 2 where they can add in some gyms lol
Dropping a like and comment to commend you guys for writing a fair and detailed review. I think Pokémon and GameFreak have coasted from lax easygoing reviews in the past that are too afraid to be critical. While it's also wholly unnecessary to trash the game in its entirety, I do think this game has a major benefit of the doubt from being a refreshing take on the series. Compared to other works of Nintendo it desperately needs a visual overhaul and clearer art direction. Fingers crossed they take the criticism and advance this new spin on the series further in the future.
I’ve never really got into any Pokémon games, maybe it’s my age and I’ve always viewed it as a “kids game”. But from what I’ve heard and what I’ve seen of this game it has gone in a direction which is right up my alley. I picked this up for my kid but I’m thinking I’ll give it a go when he’s done. Great vid guys. Thanks
The lost and found mechanic is essentially the bloodstains from Dark Souls and I find that to be hilarious for some reason.
i really enjoyed it, i hope it gets a dlc, or a yearly release
Ooooo that outro music is a BOP
I'm enjoying it. Maybe more character customization, should be able to catch and throw while mounting and yeah, the grass glitches.. Hope that the character can throw items while your pokemon is battling 🙂
Definitely been looking forward to your review!
Reviews are totally mixed right now and I kinda see where this comes from. As always, you have a fanbase division where some are craving the open world, deeper RPG mechanics and deeper story, others want the same old formula. It is impossible to please everything. I am not a fan, since I only played Eevee so I cannot speak as someone who is well educated on the franchise. What I do happily say tho is I respect that the devs are trying to make a change and depart from the older clone copy paste Pokemon. They do need to settle the visuals tho so hoping within the next 1-2 games, it will be in better hands in that aspect.
Pokemon fans will NEVER be happy I have realised. It could be the best game on earth and there would be a disproportionate amount of them moaning in the comments. It’s a fun, relaxing Pokemon game with a new twist. Yes, it could do way more, but boy does it get old reading some of the comments lol. Cheers Miss Bubbles! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I can positively say your review did make me crave the game more. Hopefully I find a good deal with it (due to currency problems) and I am picking it up. Cheers Mark!
Just completed the game last night... and by "game," I mean the first _ending_ where the credits roll and stuff. Amazing story, loved the little bit of plot twist in the end.
Thanks for the review. I've always been curious about Pokemon games, but never bought any cause I don't understand why there's two versions of every game. However, I love turn-based JRPGS so I think I'll like this one. I'll keep an eye out for it to go on sale.
It’s $10.00 cheaper at Walmart. There’s your sale, now go get one.. you’ll love it 😊
@@mortgageLabTv Thanks for letting me know!
You guys are the ideal people for reviewing this as it's a switch channel and who knows switch games more than you, great job guys👍🏼
i've never played a pokemon game before so bought this one. am only at the beginning tbh but enjoying it so far. one of my favourite games of this type is ni no kuni and this definitely has similarities to that game (i know that the pokemon series has been out long before ni no kuni).
am looking forward to exploring this game more.
