Topic: Pokemon Legends Arceus

I will change the title once/if its offical.

SPOILERS!

So Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and a new feudal Japan real time open world game apparently called "The Legend Of Arceus". The loss of turn based battles is a bummer to me, I may stop playing them as one of my favourite things about the game are the turn based battles.

@Magician The leaked images are from the new game, not the remake I thought?

Also a video has popped up

A pleasant surprise if true, but I find it really hard to believe that they would produce two different mainline games about Sinnoh.

Awesome, it looks like they are keeping the turn based fights!

@JustMe You know this was one made by Game Freak because it looks rough ;p

At the very least they have listened for once and I'm happy for this!

Little disappointed that it is set in the past but I will take it. Sword and Shield should have been done like that.

@Eel Damnit. I had a whole reply ready to go.

This game looks epic we already have this, Splatoon 3, and probably BotW 2 to look forward to next year

Looks like we will have our all-wild area game at last. Let’s see how it goes, looked interesting.

Being set in the past also serves as a soft reboot for all the in game items and mechanics I suppose.

@Octane 🥷

Wait so is it not turn based battles?

The frame rate looks bad though. And it seems stop motion, but maybe that's just to hide the bad frame rate. Games also look a tad empty, but maybe I expect too much from a Pokemon game on a Nintendo console.

I hoped they brought back the apricorns. It's weird having the game set in feudal times, yet they all use high tech poke balls. The apricorns always seemed like the poke balls of the past.

This game is probably a launch title alongside BotW 2 (or close to launch with BotW 2 being the only launch title) for the new Switch hardware.

This game looks like its going to be amazing, I'm not going to gripe about the graphics mainly bc Its still like a year away, unlike D&P remakes that are going to be out this year.

@Grumblevolcano People said that the Switch Pro was gonna launch at the same time as Monster Hunter Rise. I'm not buying any big game equals new console especially from Game Freak who struggle to use even simplier consoles let alone push them tech wise.

Yay, there’s so much less hate than what I worried there would be!

@Snatcher They said it's out early next year so not two years away.

The poke balls are reminiscent of the ones used by young Oak in the celebi movie.

Also been wanting a open world pokemon game for years now. Game freak for all that is holy don't ruind this for us. @Octane I do agree with you, it looked really laggy plus it looks like they reused animations (No surprise there) but I'm giving it a pass bc its still a year away, so there is still time to make it look clean.

@JustMe Fair enough. It's not very clear though!

@Snatcher Early 2022 is only a year away, not two.

If there’s a Switch Pro, and if an already-announced game is launching beside it, I think it will be Splatoon 3 honestly.
