PokemonLegendsArceus Is My Game Of The Year 2022 GOTY
Once upon a time, I would’ve considered myself a hardcore Pokemon fan. My history with the franchise is long, chronologically at least, but not very storied for a variety of reasons. Generation VII was the tipping point for me, after which I had to admit with a heavy heart that I’m no longer a fan of the series. But just as the curtains were falling at the end of Generation VIII and with Generation IX standing by to take the stage, Pokemon Legends: Arceus was released.
That’s not to say that Legends: Arceus does not have variations of these elements as well. But they are varied enough that, for once, they feel fresh enough that you don’t immediately see the connection.Going in the same order, completing the Pokedex is now a much more important part of the story than ever before, where in the old established formula it is more relegated to post-game content.
All that being said, none of these changes are as groundbreaking as the sheer smoothness of the game, as I mentioned earlier. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is so streamlined that, most of the jank that we take for granted as being a part of the series have been ironed out. The short version is that parts of the game that required you to mash the A button have been removed to not only preserve the long term health of said button, but also save you a ton of time.
One of your Pokemon met its evolution criteria? You also do so from the menu. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it’s actually great when you encounter situations where you don’t want your Pokemon to evolve immediately. And there are plenty of such situations, such as like keeping a team member unevolved to learn moves that its evolved form can’t learn, or just to learn moves at a lower level than the evolved form.
