Is Pokémon: Legends Arceus Worth Playing in 2024?

I have been having a rough time recently which is why content has been slow, but hopefully things will get better so I can upload more.

Finished Scarlet. Went back to Arceus cuz i only played it for a couple hours. Probably my favorite Pokemon alongside Black and HeartGold.

I played it for the first time this year. It brought back that childhood wonder, passion and excitement for Pokemon that I lost growing up. I would have given *ANYTHING* to feel that again… Legends Arceus gave me that feeling.

What the fuck was the first 53 seconds of the video?

I’ve been playing Pokémon since red and I’ve never seen a shiny. I haven’t really looked for them, but still I’ve never seen one in my own gaming experience.

Dont let the pokemon within 100 yards of my presence

I quite literally ran through the entire game including hunting for arceus in a week for the second time cause I missed this game so much

I just got the Nintendo Switch and Pokémon for the first time yesterday. It was a huge upgrade from the last time I played Pokémon on the Nintendo DS. Being able to finally see where Pokémon is and having a quest marker so you don't get lost for hours is exactly what we old Pokémon players needed for years. The only change I would love to see in modern Pokémon games is for characters to be able to talk and not just have text across the screen. Characters need their voices.

For me, this game's biggest issue is that it stops innovating 3 hours in. Once the novelty wears off and you look at the actual design and content of the game, it ranges from mediocre to shockingly awful at times. Every Pokemon behavior, for example, is nearly identical and can be sorted into 2 categories 99% of the time - they either run away or fight. Almost no Pokemon forces you to approach it in ways you didn't do with the other Pokemon. There's no cool behaviors like fire Pokemon setting grass on fire or flying Pokemon creating gusts that slow your movement speed or anything of that nature. Furthermore, every map in this game has as much complexity as the Obsidian Fieldlands - the tutorial map. The Crimson Mirelands is the only map with an interesting gimmick. I'd count Prelude Beach, but the catching while swimming feels so awful and clunky that I don't want to. Otherwise, every map is identical and does absolutely nothing to put some desperately needed variety into the catching mechanics that become still after a few hours.

Not trying to sound disrespectful, but everyone praises this game for being innovative, but it does almost nothing to expand on its brand new concepts, leading to an extremely repetitive gameplay loop where you do the exact same thing in the exact same way over, and over, and over. By the time I got halfway through, I was so sick of playing it and so confused at how unanimous the praise for it was.

0:47 Excuse me, what did you just say?

[OctoClink]

I tried to shiny hunt magicarps, now i have too many of them :(

[SuperIvanGrozni]

I came back to it, completing the pokedex and catching shines along the way... love it

[Jungh]

I'm super confused because sometimes I buy Pokéballs in this game and they just don't even get into my inventory

[brendancornish]

For me what I really really miss about the old Pokémon games, is if trying to train one Pokémon, that Pokémon gets the exp, I hate the exp sharing between parties in new Pokémon games

[fuecOHKO]

I still shiny hunt in legends, but I don't as much as s/v.

[pueohoot]

I subscribed because of the opening sound track. Froze my brain in a ton of flashbacks for a second

[AyoubEagles]

For me as a pokemon fan i didn't like pokemon scarlet and violet for me is the worst game of the series Arceus is the best of the best

[bmgcampaign]

Im actually playing now and i love it very new feel

[diglettunnel.kaneko]

They need to add trainer lvls for items to be used during battle battle to help out along side the held items

[Jaket]

The thing is pokemon legends arceus has so much more to do other than scarlet and violet. I like all the tasks and stuff that you have even after you complete the game there’s more to do than just hunt for pokemon
