I finally gave Legends: Arceus a chance. Here's what happened.
patreon.com/beanbeandude
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has been out for a while now but its time in the spotlight was short-lived thanks to all the Gen 9 hype. Now that Gen 9 is no longer new and special, how is that other open world game that came out before it? I've barely started it but I already have a lot to say.

    The fact that they are willing to slow down the game release treadmill to let the devs cook has me cautiously optimistic, it would be funny if, after the gen 6 games marked the start of the quality drop , A gen 6 revisit game would then mark a rise in quality (heres hoping/coping)

    i think the worst part is assuming Z-A is using the Arceus formula nor does it utilize any larger gameplay mechanics within the game itself, it wouldn't even have any VGC exposure. it probably wouldn't help that technically the Scarlet/Violet DLC finished in december 2023 (not counting Pecharunt's story), the main franchise won't actually get any new material until the generation 10 games comes out in like 2 years. unless they're able to patch in Megas and pokemon introduced in Z-A, everyone is essentially starved. like christ, BDSP introduced no new elements from legends arceus nor did it utilize anything like...Kleavor, Ursaluna, Voltorb, Growlithe, Overquil. the only mild divergence is plopping in the fairy type since that's expected from the franchise, and the obligatory legendary medley. (which had to be patched in. presumably because it stepped over filesize cart limits, or had to ship the games out to make Christmas) Might be doubly so if Z-A releases before Pokemon Day 2025, and they just happened to reveal generation 10. i'd assume that Z-A would be kind of an experiment with tandem Switch and Switch 2 compatibility, but clocks down slightly to maintain compatibility on local wireless/internet. December 2023 to November 2025 is kinda rough. Legends Arceus' elements was mostly used in GO, the TCG and a few special episodes in the anime which was mostly filler, with no lasting stakes or status quo changes that matter. think the content from those games was staggered either because of the base pokemon not being in the base SV or because of HOME compatibility.

    Sigh same fucking talking points. Pretty irrelevant now since the switch era of games have been the highest selling. Almost as if everyone is full of shit. And I know someone will say pal world but no one talks about pal world anymore. People have this weird expectation for the series that no other Nintendo franchise gets except for Zelda. To the point where I don’t even know what people want anymore. I think Fans need to reevaluate what they want from the franchise because fan games aren’t it.

    Face it, you’re gonna buy the game whether it’s good or not. SV sold almost 25 mil copies and whether you think it’s good or bad, that’s way too big, and considering it’s only outclassed by a relatively small margin compared to SWSH, which was also considered not that great, I really get tired of people saying that the franchise is doomed. A billion per total sales of each game shows that either Pokémon games aren’t actually that bad, or we’re hypocrites or damn gullible. There’s no way 25 million people get trolled like that

    I genuinely REFUSED to buy Scarlet or Violet. The game was so buggy and broken on launch... It was clearly rushed, and yet it somehow broke sales records (or so I've heard). I don't want to support buggy unfinished crap. This is NOT the kind of quality I would expect from the highest grossing franchise in the world. It kind of sucks to be a Pokemon fan these days. :( I have high hopes for Z-A though. Pokemon XY was my first actual Pokemon game, so I really hope they get this right.

    I'm just unable to take any criticism of this franchise seriously. Individual criticisms of aspects of each game sure, but almost everyone talking about "the state of pokemon" almost always end up just saying "new games are bad or mediocre because GF is lazy and doesn't take risks and wants money, I will not elaborate on why they're bad outside of maybe complaining about 3D models or graphics or 'the charm of pokemon being gone' (I will not elaborate on what this charm is either)" It's all just the pokemon cycle again. People will shit on every new game relentlessly on release and almost treat you like an idiot for liking them half the time and promptly forget about it when the next punching bag arrives, then half the fanbase will randomly decide they were the best games ever like 8-10 years later, and only a bit of time after that people will actually judge the games properly (until like 25 years have passed then half the community will just say "oh that game is bad and overrated and always has been btw") Almost every pokemon game is overall solid but with some glaring flaws and people need to stop just lumping it into one big "modern pokemon" category and then stating all of it is bad by default. It almost feels like half the people who do this haven't even played the games (and some of them even admit it), and while I can understand not playing the games anymore if you don't enjoy them stating that all new games suck despite not having played them is just stupid.

      @@InsertFunnyThingHere These games are just not actu games. They are an alpha version that forever reason got released. There are just an infinite amount of bugs you can casually encounter by just playing regularly, framerate is extremely unstable, game crashes not that unfrequent and in order to be remotely playable we got last second patches, like turning animation Interpolation off for anything further away than 10 meters. You just can't release a game in a state like that, really. In addition to that, the gameplay changes aren't that innovative either. It is the most innovative Pokemon main series game we ever got, but that is not hard if the previous gens were copy pasting the exact same formula. It's good they finally tried to go into a new direction, but that new direction got executed mediocre at best First of all: What's the point of being open world, if you can't see anything to explore? Zelda BOTW as an example was build entirely around the player constantly seeing something new of value worth to explore, that's what this games appeal is about. The game got highly optimized and you can see most significant objects hundreds of meters away. In Scarlet and Violet, everything that's further than 20 meters away is just a low level detail terrain. Pokemon only spawn rather close to you, items you can't see far away either and honestly: There isn't much else to look for in these games anyway. The reason this is done is because of Gamefreaks incompetency to create a technically solid game, therefore to duck tape the game together and be ready to be played at all, they lower the view distance of most things drastically. Gameplay and graphics both affect each other, in this case the changes made tot he view distance also affect the gameplay significantly Therefore instead of an open world, where you try to spot where to go next, you basically just drive around in an empty world and try to get excited about what is going to spawn right next to you. Don't get me wrong, you can have fun with driving around and being excited about what new mon will randomly spawn next to you. But you don't need an open world for that kind of stuff. And besides the open world added, the formula is still kind of the same. The only changes to battles are terras. I think Pokemon needs to experiment more with their battling system. Not to change it permanently and drastically forever, but maybe just put a new spin on it for each new game. Kind of like Fire Emblem series changes some stuff from game to game to keep it fresh, although it on average stays the same. Overall: It is a Pokemon game like always, but now with a open world Brite forced into it without it really getting utilized and enabled that well compared to other open world games and the technical state is just a big pile of duck tape occasionally breaking and barely being holding it together This is the kind of stuff you would expect from a Indie developer that overestimated their own ability and sells their game for 20 bucks. But this is a multi billion dollar company selling a 60 dollar game. Even if you would *somehow* be able to excuse the state of these games, if you mess up your game you don't charge full price for it. If you know you messed up, at least say "Sorry for messing up, we will do better next time, as compensation we will reduce the price to 50 bucks". . About "modern Pokemon", I don't think you can draw a straight line between good and bad. However, the technical state of the games for sure did continue to get worse and worse with each new title since the 3DS. Although this is a gradual change. Presentation: Black and White(2) were solid from a technical perspective. Very frequent use of 3D, good transitions, animated battles and sprites, etc. Some things were a bit lazy and very specific areas sometimes dropped FPS on the old DS variants, but overall a technically solid game. XY / ORAS were fine. Decent transition to 3D, but nothing groundbreaking. 3D ran quite bad, the world still looked extremely tile based, but it was nothing that bad that I would necessarily a problem. Sun and Moon had to disable 3D and still had frequent framedrops but overall it still felt like a finished game, Sword and Shield was having many significant errors and very frequent framedrops but those were usually limited to just some parts of the game, other looked and ran good, BDSP is an entirely different topic, Legend Arceus was basically a decently improved wild area (from a technical perspective!) from Sword and shield, but considering the state of the Wild area in Sword and shield that is still bad and Scarlet and violet is just the biggest shit show of a first party video game I can recall in the last 10 years or so Gamefreaks got with the Switch the biggest Hardware upgrade in their entire history, yet their games technical state got worse and worse

      @@otozinclus3593 ok but what you're doing is saying actual elaborate criticisms of individual aspects, a lot of people just say "modern pokemon bad new games suck" and not elaborate, and a lot of them just say they "don't take risks" implying they have ever taken risks at all when the closest to taking a risk they've done is releasing Black and White 1 and then proceeding to release a sequel to that (at the time) hated game. I do agree that technically they're poor games compared to the standards of the time but I personally don't mind that Also outside of the admittedly pathetic performance and graphics for the standards of a modern game I think SV are perfectly fine games that are fun to play to me, and even though the formula barely changes I think it changes enough to not get stale. The generational guimmick (and all regional guimmcks for that matter) feels more like a band-aid fix for the formula not changing but i think they're just nice to have. Also also most of the bugs in SV, even though hard to excuse from a company this big, are mostly just really funny and don't affect the gameplay experience negatively whatsoever to me. Never came across big lagspikes or gamecrashes very often either, and most lagspikes were completely inconsequential and innofensive and just sorta funny. Still unacceptable for a game like this, specially the crashes that, though rare, are definitely still there, but I still felt the games were good

Here are 2 examples. *Internet pit stop* has 2 videos on the decline of region design in Pokemon that does a good job of explaining why me and many others don't really like newer Pokemon games level design. *Gireum Red* has a video called "Why Modern Pokemon Games Suck" which is less specific but goes over more than just the level design. As somebody who started with the 3D games then when back to play the 2D games I can confidently say that gamefreak is better at designing in 2D than 3D. There are real reasons why people believe modern Pokemon isn't good.

I will continue to support the Legends series because it’s the only Pokémon game that looks and feels like GameFreak is actually putting in effort to make a good Pokémon game visually, and somewhat graphically. I’m very excited for ZA. I hope we get to hear more of the story of Old man AZ and his friend Pokémon Floette. I want to know more about Zygarde’s final form and the story around the legendary Pokémon. Also, hopefully they create an event for Old Man AZ’s Floette. What are your thoughts?😭🔥🔥🔥 I will be replaying Pokémon X & Y until the release of Z! So much nostalgia! Also, I hope they bring back Shiny Mega Gengar as an event!
