This game looks pointless, Not gonna lie, I bought it for my kids, but it stilllooks pointless.

“Let’s release a game in 2022 that looks and performs like a PS2 title and no one will care because… NINTENDO!” - Nintendo

Trash game don’t waste your money on this game because it’s trash

Had to go to the store and pick up since Best Buy has become notorious for delayed products on release date.

Not a big fan of the new generation of pokemon....

Not a fan of this installment. sold it a mere 2 weeks later to gamestop

Package arrived today arround 10:31 inside was an empty box without the game inside.

Horrible game. Wasted my money again. Wouldn’t recommend

Im stuck on this game!!! Its great and I was happily surprised at how entertaining it is. I had ordered the game after release but cancelled it because I read some reviews saying it was boring. I could hardly stay interested in some previous pokemon games, so I believed them. I cancelled the order. Days later I saw the good ratings on Best Buy and decided to buy it. I’m glad I did because I’ve been stuck on it since. The last time I spent this much time on a Pokémon game was when I was a kid playing it on the GameBoy. This game is fun, mechanics are great, exploring is fun, and the challenge is definitely there. If you remember that great feeling back in the day but have been bored of the same old style feel of the games over the years, this one will be a nice welcome change. If you’re on the fence, BUY IT! Enjoy it. Take your time and really get into the world. It’s a fun one!

My pre order finally come after 5 days release? Why I need you

They lost my game. I can’t believe they did that! Why???

This is a great change for Pokemon. It's a fresh new take on the mechanics and general exploration of the world of Pokemon that I'm all for. There's a good amount of side quests that took up the majority of my time playing and the new battle animations are actually quite good. Worst thing about it would be the graphics themselves (looks like a bad Gamecube game) although to be fair, there are a few moments when it actually does look good, and the lack of diversity in the Pokemon. Sure, there are quite a few Pokemon (242 kinds) but for how expansive the world is, you run into a lot of the same Pokemon (like one Pokemon you always see at night in every area when there are so many other nightime Pokemon to choose from) and it gets kinda annoying over time. Of course, I do understand why there aren't as many as there could be (new animations and whatnot), it's just a personal grievance of mine. There's a lot of changes to the mechanics as well, like how freeze, sleep, and even how self-destruct work in battle, and the ability to die from Pokemon attacks is really refreshing. In short, it's basically Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Pokemon. Also, if you've ever played Pixelmon (the Pokemon mod for Minecraft) and enjoyed it, you'll like this game.

Pokemon Legends Arceus presents what is hopefully the direction future Pokemon titles will take. The fluidity and freedom allowed in this game is unlike previous entries in the series which were more rigid in their world structure and gameplay. Although the visuals leave a lot to be desired the art style and pokemon designs/animations more than make up for it. The gameplay loop is satisfying as you are never taken out of the action, it involves catching and battling pokemon as well as gathering resources to craft items such as pokeballs, all of this occurs in the overworld leaving behind the jarring transitions to battle sequences from past titles. The story is a typical pokemon story nothing mind blowing but engaging enough to keep you going. I highly recommend you try this game for yourself and form your own opinion as online forums skew negatively on this title. The best way to put it is that playing this game made me feel the same sense of discovery and excitement as the original entries in the series, this feeling was lost around the time the 3DS titles began releasing.

Not your typical Pokemon adventure. I loved the twist in story and the catching mechanics. I also got my girlfriend into pokemon with this game!

Absolutely AMAZING game! Well worth the $60. The catching is fun and exciting. The crafting system is fluid and useful. The pace of the game is flexible yet challenging. I’m excited every time I get on to play because there is so much to do in the large open world.

The game is great. I don't know why anyone with two braincells to rub together would leave a review for a product when they are actually upset with the seller. That is ridiculous to me. This game should have a higher review score, they should remove the two reviews about shipping.

Excellent game with an entirely different twist to the typical Pokémon game. The open world concept was amazing in this game, similar to sword and shield, but even better!

Great game, very different from the rest of the games yet so familiar. Loved the new catching mechanics and the open areas.

The open world is a little pixelated and not the best quality but it is refershing to have a different type of pokemon game. Love the Hisuan forms of the starters and the new catching mechanic
