Pokémon Legends Arceus is a great game to play for me at least. If you faint in-game you drop a pouch with some items and other players in the community can find it for you. You can also find other peoples bags and get rewards like Exp. Candies. It also is a very different experience then most Pokémon games. Great game to play during any time of the day.

First Pokemon game I have picked up on the switch since the 3DS/2DS games. Like that you can catch all the Pokemon outside of battle if you are sneaky enough. Combat is completely changed from other games, but the majority of the time you are spending completing tasks to fill out an early form of the PokeDex. Great open world concept and it takes on a new angle of what it means to catch Pokemon

This is probably one of the best Pokemon games in recent years. Pokemon during the switch era has been the topic of a lot of controversy concerning the quality of the games, some of the issues I have noticed in my own experience while playing Scarlet & Violet or Sword & Shield. But whatever gripes you have about those games, don't use them to judge buying this one. Gamefreak went above and beyond and made something truly special that can resonate with both new fans and old fans and I really respect that. So please, if you're a Pokemon fan, give this one a shot.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus has taken the Pokémon franchise to unprecedented heights, redefining what it means to be a Pokémon Trainer. The breathtaking open-world setting of ancient Sinnoh is a masterpiece in itself, with lush landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and a sense of wonder around every corner.

Not sure i was going to like it but now that i played it for a few evenings I've found it is ALOT of side quests but its overall a great game. BestBuy in my area was also super helpful. 3/5 stars wouldn't change a thing.

It was a gift for my son. He loves it. He's loved Pokemon since the beginning.

The game was a nice attempt to branch out from the standard Pokemon formula. It definitely could be better, and the completionist aspects wear thin, but it's a fun game.

Pokemon Legends Archeus takes the Pokemon franchise in a fresh new direction, bringing it into the open-world genre of games. While it's not truly open it is expansive and really does feel like you have much more freedom. Visually and gameplay-wise it does look and feel like Pokemon's "Breath of the Wild" moment. From early on you can run out into the open fields, throw a Pokeball and either fight or attempt to catch Pokemon. Mounts are open pretty early in the game as well allowing you to reach terrain once unreachable earlier on. And while the visuals are a big upgrade over past entries, the gameplay has been refined in many new ways as well. It's now seemless battling and catching Pokemon without the need to have the typical battle animations. Also being able to gather resources and craft your own Pokeballs for the first time is a welcome addition. All around the game is more refined and feels like what Pokemon should have been working toward years ago. That said there are a few negatives, and I don't want to briefly mention the visuals. Most of the negative I have heard is on how plain the game can look in scenes. And while this is the case, at times, the game generally looks as good as Breath of the Wild. In all this is an really good game that most Pokemon fans should find to be a breath of fresh air in the series and hopefully a sign of what is to come in potentially a new series.

I played a few hours and I must say this is the Pokémon game I been waiting for huge open world and not like any other Pokémon game you ever played before such a new experience….. don’t listen to the haters on you tube or social media disliking this game half of them probably didn’t even play or buy the game ….. play the game for yourself and you be the judge F the reviews from haters

The buzz around Pokemon Legends: Arceus was obviously loud when this game was announced and this game lived up to the hype. The fuller, more explorable open world was a nice change of pace. The new catching mechanic is wonderful. I hope that The Pokemon Company continues in this direction. The only gripe that I had with this game was some of the graphics, but mostly it's a win!

This game is super chill. I love relaxing and playing this game after a long day of work. The story is simplistic and not really going to pushbthe envelope but that is fine. The exploration and traversal is satisfying. This is a much need departure from the tride and true pokemon formula. Highly reccomend this game to everyone looking to relax and turn their brain off for a while.

Still in early stages since I like to go back and catch the Alphas when I can. But this is a lot more fun and free than previous games. Open world and choices about side quest make it more engaging. I'd recommend it even if it's someone's first Pokemon Game. Actually might be better if it was, so no preconceived expectations about game play, because this is whole new experience.

Great game, easy to pour several hours/days into. Love the new setting and style of game play, definitely a depature from pokemon games of old.

A NEW POKEMON GAME!!! This one so far is very very interesting. It is totally open world with stuff to do everywhere. It is going to feel different cause there isn't a bunch of trainers like the past games and I so far havent come across any gyms yet. But all in all so far a great Pokemon game that every Pokemon fan should get!

Excellent formula to bring a breath of fresh air into a classic series. I've been playing Pokemon since the good game boy classic red version. They do change the lore we've known to fit the game play and there is definitely room for improvement. All in all decent story and more emphasis on catching them all. I've beat the game and am working on the post game story.

This is an awesome Pokemon game. Finally after years GameFreak has reinvented their old strategy of how to make Pokemon games. In this ome you finally get to free roam and explore the lands of Sinnoh from Diamond and Pearl in the past. While there aren't as many places to go, and the overworld is mainly nature, it works for the plot of the game is still plenty fun.

Pokemon Legends Arceus is a game of two halves. One-half of the game is as evolutionary as the monsters within it. The other half is a game that falls short in its presentation. As a result these two halves often feel like they clash in jarring ways. For a franchise that makes billions each year? Game Freak has been rather slow in making its transition to HD game development. Sword and Shield were released to commercial success but the game was clearly lagging behind from a presentation standpoint. Unlike Sword/Shield, however? Arceus is the first time in a long while since perhaps "Let's GO" that it feels like Game Freak truly tried to implement new and fresh ideas. The pokemon here are found in the wild much like they were in the wild areas in SW/SH or in Let's Go. But they completely overhauled the very act of catching pokemon. And they did a bang-up job. The actual act of stalking these creatures and trying to catch them is fantastic courtesy of the new mechanics. It seems so obvious it's a wonder they didn't try it sooner. There is an elegance too in its simplicity. They stripped back a lot of the things that made older games feel a bit bloated. There are no online pokemon battles, though there is training. They clearly focused on the single-player experience here though there is some online interaction in retrieving players' satchels with items that reward merit points. Also pruned is the total move pool and no TM's or HM's. Instead, pokemon can learn and master various moves just by leveling. They can then choose agile and strong styles for those mastered moves. Since this is a game where you are creating the first Pokedex? Battling and catching the monsters contributes to research that helps to advance your "Star rank." Your star rank is a bit of a gate that unlocks better balls to use and craft. Speaking of crafting? Arceus has a pretty robust crafting system. You can craft a variety of pokeballs as well as healing items with stuff found in the wild. BotW could learn a thing or two from this. In addition, there are rides/mounts to help you get around the world which also serve to highlight where Arceus starts to fall short. The rides themselves are great. But due to the draw distance, it's quite common to see pokemon in the distance pop in at a significantly reduced frame rate. Arceus's world as a result looks a bit flat and devoid of topography that just pops in at a fast clip when riding these mounts. Other deficiencies include some lackluster and low-resolution textures. Arceus is a good step forward and offers a solid base. But hopefully, Game Freak is either given more time or resources (maybe even both) to help bring the presentation up to snuff to match the mechanics. Because I feel this is a positive evolution for the series. It just needs a third stage of evolution to get the rest of the way.

No issues Perfect game recommend to sinnoh region players

The kids love this game. Legend games are awesome.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is fantastic! The gameplay feels fresh and immersive, and exploring the world on the Switch OLED is stunning. Great story, fun mechanics, and it’s a must-have for any Pokémon fan
