Pokemon Legends Arceus (Nintendo Switch)

Genuinely fun game with simple controls and a really pretty open world with good visuals.It's a refreshing break from the standard Pokémon games (I found the style took some getting used to), I've personally found it a great game and a good value for money.I've never had any bugs or glitches and if you're someone who enjoys things like shiny hunting I find they appear enough for it to feel rewarding but are still rare enough that it's a little challenging and feels good to find one.I thought the storyline was enjoyable and I was able to follow it pretty easily, even after completing the bulk of the story I found I still had lots to do, which I really appreciate in a game.There are lots of quests you can do and I find them to be generally really enjoyable, I also really like the controls and mechanics of this game compared to others, such as being able to interact with Pokémon in the open world and not having to engage in battle with every one, also being able to throw items and pokéballs without opening your bag.The controls are relatively different to other games and took some figuring out but the tutorial was really good and helped me get into it without too much confusion, I also really enjoy the ability to walk around and observe Pokémon while you're battling.I found it took me a long time to get bored when I sat down to play as the exploration aspect of the game felt really immersive and the landscapes seemed really nicely thought out.As a Pokémon lover I genuinely enjoyed this game and found it to be a really nice style change compared to the classics, its a cute, easy-but-not-too-easy game that I would totally recommend to anyone who's enjoyed the previous Pokémon games!

This game is a vast improvement over the other Pokémon games released for Nintendo Switch. Battles are seamless as is Pokémon catching. You don't go in to a separate battle screen. Also now when your Pokémon learn moves they can instantly be re taught to have whatever combination of moves you want that is within that Pokemons moveset. Also there is an in depth crafting aspect. Your Pokémon can find items in the environment when you throw them towards a tree ornrock for instance and get items you can craft with other items to make others, for instance you need an apricorn from a tree and a tumble stone from a rock to craft a pokeball. No more pokemart like the old games even though there is a NPC who sells items.The battles as I mentioned are seamless. When you encounter and see a wild Pokémon you can just throw your desired Pokémon towards it and instantly start a battle without going into a seperate battle screen. The same applies when catching Pokémon. There's also lots of different tasks different people will ask you to do as well as the main story and another NPC will ask you to find and collect 108 wisps for a certain item they give you ;) I'm only 10 to 15 hours in and I personally are still in the story and I don't believe near finishing. It's fun and addictive to sometimes forget the story and catch and battle and craft. And also to complete the tasks each Pokémon has for the Pokédex to fill each page out. As this is Pokemons first ever Pokédex and you are discovering them for the first ever one. All in all I personally am really enjoying this game and I believe it's definitely the best Pokémon game so far for the Nintendo Switch.

Best pokemon game recently

Fun game for new and old people to Pokémon easy to learn to play and plenty to do

This game is really good however there are some faults.Things good about it:Even though you have your standard dream team in your head the game makes you venture out for all different kinds of Pokémon which will automatically change your mind about your starting six.The game has plenty of content so boredom will not come to you if you dont rush.The story line makes sense especially for new players if they recently got BD/SP.NPC’S are not catching you every corner so you will finally have a chance to breath if you have been playing since RED/BLUEHM’S ARE NO MORE!!Things that are bad:Graphics are super poor, it was obviously made in the Covid19 Lockdown because it literally has Minecraft rendering block on corners, edges and far distances.The new exclusive pokemon for this game are really bad accept Dialga, Palkia, Zoroark & Stantler. Hisuian weavile looks like a girl that spends all her time at the club and hasnt heard of a soft drink.The levelling up system is way to easy, you can literally have a pokemon with maxed out IV’s within a hour of the catch.Legendary's come really late in game like really late, you wont have a taste of a legendary Pokémon until 30+ hours of gameplayOnline features are bad its literally Pokémon go on the switch.Out of all the pokemon games on switch this is a Joint first with BD/SP so i recommend buying but it aint your average Pokémon game

This happens to be the best Pokemon game I’ve played in a long time. It’s an open world game where you’re free to explore and catch Pokemon as you wish. Full of missions and side quests too keep you entertained for hours! Plug and play it’s as easy as that! May require and internet based update for software but that’s easy to do!

A new and refreshing take on the Pokemon games. I really enjoy the new catch mechanics which you can just throw the ball at the Pokemon. You can use stealth and other tactics to catch Pokemon. I also really like the different areas you are free to explore when you unlock them as well as unlocking mount Pokemon as you progress through the story.

Really fun game. Gamefreak created something new and original compared to their main series games. This is a open world rpg pokemon game. The movements and character controls are similar to legend of zelda: breath of the wild.
