    More fun than I expected. Im an OG Pokémon fan. I started way back in the day with Pokémon Red on the original Gameboy. This game does a lot of things right and takes away a lot of the tedious grinds that most Pokémon games implement. Battle animations are varied but could be better. The open world is definitely open but there could be more in it. If you’re a Pokémon fan, you’ll love this game.

    The game must be good because my husband has spent hours playing it. He even wakes up early to play it. LOL. He is loving the game. Story line and graphics are great. He says its the best game that Pokemon has had. A must buy.

    First impressions 4 hours into the game: it’s a slow start. The “tutorial” part is a little long. The graphics yeah aren’t as good as they could be, but they definitely aren’t as bad as some are making them seem. It’s pretty addicting! There’s a lot going on. Theres the main mission and then the side quests. Then there’s research tasks for each Pokémon you have to do to actually complete the Pokédex entry for that Pokémon. I like it more than I thought I would honestly. I thought it was going to be kind of boring, but it surprised me. It’s definitely it’s a lot different than the previous Pokémon games we are all used to, but it’s nice to have something new. Im excited to see where Pokémon/GameFreak takes things in the future. I this game is a good start.

    A nice twist to the usual Pokemon formula. It's like a Pokemon action game meets the standard turn based battle system. Plus this game is nice and indicates shiny Pokemon on screen. This'll help those that aren't that familiar with Pokemon still find shinnies. Plus it has a decent story, lots of side content, and plenty of legendary Pokemon to capture.

    this is the first pokémon game that i’ve bought. i’ve played one of the game boy ones back in the day but this is great. aside from the constant boring dialogue, and the very bad pop-in. there’s a really great game here. dunkey said it best this game is like two rappers collaborating. Kendrick Lamar coded the game and did everything, and Jake Paul wrote the story.

    I ordered this as a Valentine's gift for my kids. They love it, but have to take turns playing as it's just single player. It's not too difficult and requires them to read to follow the story, which I like.

    Excellent pokemon iteration, new open world that has not been seen, and better chances for catching shiny pokemon. A whole new experience and more to come, everything a generation 1 kid wanted to experience.

    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!

    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!!!
