Review Pokémon Legends: Arceus (Switch) - One Of The Greatest Pokémon Games Ever Made

In fact, Pokémon were treated like dangerous creatures to be avoided, and in Pokémon Legends: Arceus it’s up to you and the Galaxy Expedition Team to...

Feature What Pokémon Could Learn From Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
Ekans of Wisdom
In my first few hours playing Echoes of Wisdom, every new enemy I stumbled across gave me a familiar thrill: Ooh, I haven’t seen that one yet! I can’t wait to have its power! I’d flick through my Echoes, discerning the best one to fight the newbie. A Spark defeated a Hydrozol, a team of Ignizols set a Mothula on fire. And when...

About The Game
The fun of exploring while catching Pokémon and filling in a Pokédex has always been a core part of the Pokémon video game series. Pokémon Legends: Arceus was developed with the desire to deliver an experience infused with new action and RPG elements that go beyond the framework established thus far, while honoring the core gameplay of past Pokémon titles.
As Trainers explore the natural expanses in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, they’ll encounter Pokémon that call these grand vistas home. To catch wild Pokémon, players can study the Pokémon’s behaviours, sneak up to them, then throw Poké Balls. Players can also battle wild Pokémon with their ally Pokémon. By throwing the Poké Ball holding their ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon, players will seamlessly enter battle. This new gameplay angle is intended to provide Trainers with an immersive experience.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus brings Trainers to the vast Sinnoh region as it existed in the past, long before the setting for Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl was established. Rich in nature and with Mount Coronet towering at its heart, this is a Sinnoh unlike anything Trainers have experienced before as they embark to create the region’s first Pokédex.

@EveryGameBeLike I'm sorry to hear that.
@Z-Core it was a damn joke lmao
@EveryGameBeLike oh.
If you wanna talk about dead moms, go play Monster Hunter Stories 1 lmao.
Pretty sure the A.I in this game cheats. I've been playing Pokèmon since day one and I have never seen an A.I that plays as dirty as this before. I'm near the end of the game and seriously my 100 accuracy moves keep missing. The Computer uses lower accuracy moves and they never miss at all. I NEVER get burn or parahax yet the Computer gets these added effects all the damn time. I love this game but admittedly nonsense like this is making me angry now to the point I almost don't want to play anymore. Don't get me started on the cheating that takes place in those Spacetime Distortions because I could write a list.
Sorry needed to let off steam somehow and I hate Twitter.
Nobody's going to see this anyway lmao
Dude The Lore Here is banging even everywhere it doesnt stop spitting the lore out the game theory just saw that btw The frickin A.I In this game is the best A.I In the whole pokemon history make the elite four battles like that and the champion one 5 times harder i feel that the pokemon games These Days are pretty easy arceus just clapped us with: Nuzlockes, Funny Moments, Dark Lore, Lore, Alot tbh So i respect how quick they made the games Glitchless like + The game is amazing with its graphics but my 5 year old nintendo is getting chocked and burning my hands down every second i hold it lol
respect arkoos.
Peace.
@EveryGameBeLike Bro the mom jokes arent even funny now they are just like nothing to us compered to 2023.
