Pokémon Legends: Z-A appears to be the top-notch title within the Pokémon series (at least on Nintendo Switch). The innovative combat system has sparked much discussion among enthusiasts, emphasizing positioning, timing, and mobility as key elements.
Given that Z-A’s launch hasn’t been announced beyond the 2025 timeframe, it seems prudent for me to wrap up Pokémon Legends: Arceus before the next game drops.
In simpler terms, Arceus marks the beginning of a potential new series within the Pokémon franchise and it significantly altered some fundamental elements of the gameplay. The primary gameplay revolves around capturing Pokémons to complete the very first Pokedex. Merely catching one Pokémon isn’t sufficient; players must also fill out the dex by defeating them in battles using their weak-type moves or witnessing them perform specific moves.
This method isn’t exactly thrilling at first glance, yet it’s remarkably creative in encouraging players to traverse the region, discover new Pokémon, and fill their Pokedex. Once they get the hang of it, it becomes quite engrossing, and before they realize it, their dex will be full. Admittedly, some of these creatures can be elusive, but if you explore thoroughly, you should have no trouble.
One exciting aspect of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the diverse methods of travel you’ll encounter during your adventure. Legendary Pokémon in this game expand your mobility across its expansive open landscapes. Not only does this provide quicker movement, but you can also sniff out hidden treasures and soar above mountains, which adds an extra layer of excitement to gameplay.
To be honest, I haven’t managed to defeat Arceus because the core game mechanics don’t hold my interest strongly enough.
Despite my enthusiasm for collecting Pokémon and completing my dexterity chart, the scarcity of trainer fights in the game left me feeling rather uninterested. Granted, there are several battles required by the story, and additional trainer fights have been incorporated as extra content. It’s important to mention that the game emphasizes catching more than battling, but I personally prefer a blend of both elements.
In spite of its numerous imperfections, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offered an appealing blend of expansive exploration and trainer encounters that kept me engaged until the end. Granted, the game’s aesthetics are less polished, struggling to maintain a steady 30 FPS frame rate, yet the right dosage of capturing and battling managed to hold my interest throughout the experience.
Perhaps I need to show a bit more understanding, as Pokémon Legends: Arceus appears to be a well-crafted game with plenty of emotional investment. If Legends: Z-A leans more towards combat suits me better, but maybe it’s time for me to reconsider my stance on Arceus and give it another try.
