Literally no joke the best Pokémon game would be to combine the best parts of both game THEN just improve how’s the game runs

[pap]

Legends, I like that, for once, you can complete a whole pokedex with JUST the base game, and no trade evolutions, nor version exclusive mons or anything like that

[MikeTheEnforcer]

Legends Arceus. Especially when you realize your character is the reason Giratina reacted so harshly to Cyrus in present day Diamond and Pearl.

arceus, a good story, best mechanic of actually throwing pokeballs in the pokemons faces

[shadowoflugia]

Legends Arceus was the BEST time I’ve ever had with Pokémon! I want another Legends game so badly, but this time I want it actually open world, keeping the same action RPG elements, and with more stuff to do (more Pokémon in the dex, etc.). I’d also like it to be NOT a time-traveling story. Or at least, with the main character being original to the time period.

[Nuh_uhhhhhhhhh]

Legends was the most fun I’ve had with the franchise since I was a kid. The new mechanics and the way you’re actually vulnerable, not just mindless catching and battling, was what made it a whole new experience. I would almost call it more immersive because of that.

Arceus was such a precious game, the catching mechanics and “farming” was incredible and SO much fun. I just finished playing it twice. I leveled up my stars quickly in the beginning and had such a blast doing it. It was only towards the end when I started getting “bored” of its repetitiveness.

I finished Violet when it came out and just started Scarlet last week. The game has come so far in content and is a bit better performance wise however, I hate that you have to start a battle with every pokemon before attempting to catch it. If they’d of implemented catching the way Arceus had it, I personally would have considered it a perfect game (besides performance issues of course.).

I see they’re making a new “Arceus” type game that releases next year, I only hope it’s even more open world rather than open areas. In V&S, I absolutely loved that you could take classes and actually “attend” the school.

Legends, best game I've played since HeartGold and SoulSilver

[cyndaquilllover]

I swear if you combine the best parts of both of these games you get an incredible experience
I hope pokemon Legends ZA or whatever it’s gonna be called learn from these 2 completely different games

[MardonNaLou]

I pick Legends. Even though I am enjoying Pokémon scarlet, I just feel like there was more fun to have in legends. I played that game so much, even after completing all the task to do in that game just because I found it so cathartic in the manner of catching Pokémon in that game. I still play it to this day, with no sense of boredom. With Scarlet and Violet I’m ready to put it down only a month in.

Legends Arceus had you complete the dex while making you guess on how to get the Pokemon you don't have. In Scarlet, it's optional, and you can virtually get every Pokemon without trading besides the exclusives and the other 2 starters. There's more that you can do in Scarlet than in Legends Arceus.

[IHopeUDance]

That was a really thoughtful summary for only being a minute

[rentor]

I like things from both games. I enjoy how the dex worked in Legends, and it made me spend a lot of hours getting all of the Pokémon. And I loved the shiny hunting. The graphics style in that game I find nicer, too. But I do like the open world of S/V, enjoy the new Pokémon, the story, and how you can choose your path.

arceus is the only game out of these that I could replay multiple times

[mary]

I really like being able to let out any of your Pokemon and not just your lead Pokemon in Legends Arceus. I also like that you can dodge, move around during a battle, make your own pokeballs and potions, and catch Pokemon without having to battle them in that game. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet I like having easy access to all the Pokemon you've caught and I like the open world aspect of it. If they make another Pokemon game in the future I would like to see all those things combined.

[KamawnTH]

If they combine the fluencisity of Pokemon Arceuses gameplay with the Classic original style of Violet and Scarlet. Make some tweaks with the music and Battle mechanics to introduce something similar to Strong and Agile style or sneaking up and throwing a PokeBall to catch the pokemon directly. I think it would be and if not the closest thing we are going to get a Perfect Pokemon Game. Also voice acting.

[vinny]

Arceus is by far my favorite Pokemon game. Gen4 and Platinum specifically was my favorite since it came out, so Arceus being an homage to gen4 was already a huge plus.

But I love the "realism" of the game with you being able to catch Pokemon without having to battle them, or having wild Pokemon attack you personally. Being able to move around while in a battle was niche but very nice. Arceus was as close to the perfect Pokemon game that I dreamed of as a kid.

I'm hoping Legends Z-A keeps most of Arceus' formula.

[blazedj]

I liked Arceus when I was playing it. When it first came out, I was still playing Brilliant Diamond, but I was eager to play Arceus that I gave up on trying to do what I was doing, but that isn’t really saying much. However, after I beat the story in Arceus, I abandoned it because I missed playing Sword and Shield. I replayed that until Scarlet and Violet, and I haven’t stopped since.

[Bouglives]

I personally spent more time in legends arceus doing shiny hunting and trying to complete the Pokédex, but I think scarlet/violet has the upper hand, especially with the dlc coming up

[alextbt]

My heart is with Arceus, I’m sorry 🙈🧡
