    i'm about 2 hours in and i'm having a blast. this feels like breath of the wild added in pokemon. the starting area has pokemon free roaming everywhere for you to catch outright or battle and catch or battle to defeat. they can also charge at you, as well as run away. graphically it looks great. decent sized pokedex to fill up, tons of missions and side missions, as well as crafting items from things you find in the world. no regrets so far. seems like a game you can spend dozens if not a 100+ hours in if you want to.

    Pokemon Legends Arceus is awesome! I am really enjoying the open world catching Pokemon and completing the Pokedex! It feels more significant having to do quests for each Pokemon. There are no Pokemon Gyms. Disappointing, however when playing I have not missed them. There are still trainer battles. I am really enjoying Pokemon Legends Arceus and definitely recommend it!

    The future of Pokémon games. What a great change in pace and difficulty compared to the most recent titles. Fresh and new feeling, I hope they stick to this formula going forward.

    Although it may not be perfect in every little aspect, overall it's the game I have been waiting for. I have been playing Pokémon since Red and Blue were released, so over the years I have been craving something a little more than the typical format. We got close a couple of times with the GameCube installments, and Let's Go may be the most original thing done to a remake.. but Arceus is something completely new and I am LOVING it. The game plays as a real life scenario with Pokémon, you run around and catch them and can even be attacked by them. This is truly my childhood dream, the most realistic Pokémon game yet.

    For long time fans of the series, it will be a blast to play this entry. Think of Pokemon meets Breath of the Wild. The game still captures the fun of capturing and collecting a wide variety of pokemon, but it also captures the dangers of being alone in the wilderness surrounded by creatures that can very easily take you out. Personally. Therefore, you rely on your pokemon not only to harvest materials from the environment, but to also protect you from such dangers. You can also sneak and capture pokemon by catching them unaware, thus skipping combat entirely. I'm hoping for future games that follow this same gameplay formula.

    I bought this for my son as a gift. He is so happy with it, all day and night he has been talking about the game. He said it is like Zelda (my second favorite Zelda game), but with Pokemon. He loves how open the game is and all of the Pokemon. I bought as a gift for him (he is 7) and couldn't be happier with how much he enjoys it. I don't know much about Pokemon other than Pikachu, so I looked up the highest rated Switch Pokemon, and saw this had a better rating than Sword and Shield. My son loves it, so I love it. Thank you Best Buy for having this in stock.

    Pokemon Legends: Arceus

    Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a change to the stereotypical pokemon game, and in my case a welcome change. The open world is immersive and each pokemon encounter is as exciting as the next. The storyline is enough to keep it interesting but the real shining part of this game is the gameplay. For somebody like me who is a completionist when it comes to video games, completing the pokedex and research for all entries was a fulfilling use of my time. It never felt overly repetitive as each area had new pokemon that you would encounter. While it is a turn away from the typical pokemon game formula it's one that works

    An amazing open world Pokémon game! Nintendo did a great job at turning this franchise into an immersive open world game and has pretty much fulfilled a childhood desire of what I have been looking for in a Pokémon game. Next goal is an immersive virtual world Pokémon games!!!
