That cable link item needs to be added to all future games, the ability to evolve your Pokémon without the need for trades is a godsend.

[olliejobson]

This game finally makes it so that I actually WANT to catch Pokémon, and not just spray myself in a cologne of repels. The fact that things are no longer random and you can really just find what you want and do what you want is an amazing game changer

[DenDave_]

Im so thrilled with Arceus. The graphics department definetely leaves some things to be desired, but the game is fun, wholesome and challenging. Its the smaller changes that do it for me; quality of life improvements, better facial expressions, and the guts to not at all shy away from pokémon vs human conflict is awesome. I absolutely adore this game so far.

Another tip: If you're not that attached to your mons, you can release them and they'll give you gravel which you can use to rise the effort levels of your other mons

[seraphimprince]

I only have about 7 hours in and this game is groundbreaking. Changing movepool at a whim, the actual 3D battle-space that you can move about in and face down up to three 'mons at once, triple-level rewards for grinding the 'Dex (rank points, experience and money) and being able to run into high-level mons and get spanked like other RPGs.

For all new players.... Don't waste time going into every house looking for special items. There are none. Wasted almost an hour scouring the first town for secrets

[TrvisXXIII]

That customizable moveset is a game changer! No idea why that wasn’t highlighted in any of the trailers, can’t think of any game that allows you to do that on the fly, that’s mind blowing for Pokémon

[abombernation]

One thing to note is that the farm crops aren’t based on time. It is based on how many Pokémon you have caught. For example if you catch 8 Pokémon after choosing the apricorn harvest it will be ready.

[TheTownNarcoleptic]

I’m so happy that it turned out to be fun, wholesome foreshadowing, instead of the tragedy that usually happens with random shiny encounters

[raygalaxy]

A lot of the quality of life changes were needed years ago! I love the move customization and would have made HMs more bearable back then by having a Pokémon learn it but not have the move in their current main set. Also love the fact that trading is no longer necessary to getting certain forms or how evolving is not automatic anymore so an everstone or constant evolution interruptions is no longer needed to keep preferred forms. Hope these become staples in future games.

[ACabanadoKonrado]

I had a shiny Starly appear on my second hour of playing, and I knew to disable autosave and force save because of you! I could've lost that shiny if weren't for your tips!

[Izanagi-Okami]

I’ve noticed that this game actually implements a lot of things that players asked for after playing Temtem. More strategic battling and easy move replacement. As well as some other small features. Ahhh, the things a competitor can do to strengthen another franchise, is beautiful.

[SpicyDisco]

This man really hasn't stopped the grind since BDSP! Love all the videos my man!

[wuztron]

Legends is about 8/10 of the way to being a perfect game. I'm having a blast. I've said it a million times but I really hope they continue to build on this formula.

[RedJake]

On the note of max inventory, I saw it reaches 37 extra slots, bringing the total to 60, and will cost you $4, 199, 500. Take that as you will

[MaxWelton]

The nature mint farm is OP. I really needed that because I started with a Modest Rowlet, which is not ideal. My second harvest got me an Adamint, which was lucky.

[BrittleScarMusic]

Thank goodness they included an alternative for trade evos as someone who can't do the trades for evos I'm so glad about that alternative!

[AllFatherStan]

Im in my late 30’s and played since red and blue. This is the best update to Pokémon IMO though it does have some flaws. Really hope they keep doing these for new games.

[waleedkhalid]

This game does A LOT right, now I’m just waiting for a future title to incorporate gyms as well. I REALLY think they should wait 3-4 years before releasing their next main line game. If they use that time, they will be able to make something really special. Imagine an open world with 3 routes to complete- catching, contests, and gyms+league. You could choose whichever one you want to do without being tied to any particular path. Going to different towns would involve traversing through wilderness and dirt/paved roads if you want to make a beeline. Your story would be considered complete based on which quest line you follow, and you can do the others

[Tatsuya.O_hkt]

This is how you do a nice very informative play-through without frickin spoiler! Can we just appreciate how this man never have spoiler thumbnail. You are awesome, Austin.
