Pokémon Legends: Arceus - US Version

Game is super fun. It starts off slow, with walls of text to get through at the start as it sets up the setting and story and only one area to play around in. After you unlock some stuff and open up all the areas and features though, this game is easily my favorite Pokemon game. The battles are quick and satisfying, not needing to load into some little battle screen. You just toss out your pokemon and FIGHT right then and there. You can also run around the battle field too while the pokemon fight each other, so you can easily flee a nasty encounter if you need to. Also the pokemon can just straight up attack YOU now, so better learn how to dodge roll like it's DarkSouls. Catching is quicker too, as you can sneak up on Pokemon and huck a ball at them. Getting a back strike ups your chance of catching them outright without even needing to battle them, letting you fill out that pokedex faster. Also the Pokedex is actually fun to fill out now as you have all these little sub objectives for each Pokemon to fill out it's entry, like catch multiple of them, or catch them at night, or observe them doing something specific, etc. The alpha Pokemon are a fun addition, letting you fight and capture some super sized Pokemon that will usually tower over you and most of your other Pokemon. I'm rather fond of my nine foot tall Lucario. Game feels faster and fresher than any Pokemon game yet, feels like it has way more to do too and you can evolve all Pokemon you catch that can evolve without worrying about trading and stuff as items allow you to evolve them. There isn't much to multiplayer unlike previous games, this is mostly focused on single player. Also the graphics are ugly in some areas, and that's putting it kindly. If those two things don't bother you, and you enjoy Pokemon, then you'll likely love this game as much as I did.

I would really recommend getting this game it's really fun to play it may be a bit difficult but overall it's an amazing game.

Let's nip one issue in the bud. This game, along with others of its kind, suffer from the limitations of the system it is on. The clearest example is the slow FPS of objects in the far distance, which funny enough is intentionally programmed into these games to prevent further quality degradation during playthrough. It's not really this game's fault, and the developers did wonderful work around it. If you can live with that visual you're in for a treat. The gameplay flow is absolutely wonderful. It does what main-series Pokémon can not: Make catching and collecting fun. The problem with main-series games is it holds on to traditional RPG mechanics too tightly in an era where they've the option to upgrade and improve. Legends Arceus does this with eliminating "You've Caught XYZ! Now look at it's Pokédex Entry, again!" and applying lock-on targeting and real-time action with the catching. Pokémon attack and run away, making it a skill to smack with a Pokéball. Included with each dex entry is a long list of tasks, not all of which are required to progress but for those who enjoy total completion it adds some variety. Shiny hunting is an enjoyment compared to previous entries and the future entry of Scarlet and Violet. Every shiny is accompanied with both a visual and auditory notification so you know it is there. Story wise, the game dives into lore about the Pokémon universe. This does not mean you need to know it to enjoy the story, but it helps they released Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl to give you an idea of what this region is. You do end up caring about the characters you meet, as opposed to a game like Sword/Shield which fails in the story department. Boss fights are also a tricky and fun experience, and you'll find yourself with plenty of challenges along the way. I consider this to be the best Pokémon game they've made thus far. Scarlet/Violet do continue with improved storytelling and better open-world design. But, Legends Arceus is very polished in design and concept.

This game is absolutely amazing, I've been a huge Pokémon fan since I was a child and have played basically every game including the card game! Anyway, this game is super great!! I play it on the Switch 2 and The story is awesome, the game graphics are gorgeous! It definitely does work on the Switch 2 for anyone who may be wondering! The case came wrapped in plastic just like buying in store! Game was untouched and perfect! The only downside is you cannot have your Pokémon walk alongside you like they can in some of the other games including Legends ZA (the newest game)! ~ Sarina

Fun it brings back fond memories of when I was a kid. More challenging then a lot of the newer games

My daughter absolutely loves playing this game. Good graphics and story line.

The game is very fun and addicting.

I ordered this to the USA from Japan just because of the promo card but I did not receive the promo card in the order. Waste of time and money

bon petit jeu d aventure pokemon amusant avec une histoire et des combats et des discussions avec des personnages. parfait pour les amateurs de pokemon mais aussi les enfants car il n es pas trop dur a jouer. c est dommage qu il n y a pas de mise a jour pour la switch 2 pour ce jeu jusqu a maintenant.

nice

Ce nouveau jeu fait actuellement le bonheur d'un enfant de 10 ans. Et il a été livré plus tôt que prévu, ce qui est toujours une agréable surprise.
