Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s really hard to go back to old Pokemon games after playing this one. The reason? Pokemon catching and battling happens right in the environment you’re in, without any load times or transitions. This game rewards you for catching multiple pokemon of the same type, and it encourages you to fill out your pokedex by rewarsing you with better items. The graphics are the weakest part of the game, but this won’t bother you enough to put the game down. Lots of content for the price, you can get at least 80 hours out of it, more if you want to 100% everything and grind for shiny pokemon.

Pokemon Arceus is an open world Pokemon game where you are sent back in time to when Pokeballs were first invented. You get to meet all sorts of new Pokemon and randomly get a chance to catch old favorites. The primary goal of this game is to complete the missions, but really its to catch as many Pokemon as possible. Every Pokemon you catch earns you money, research points, and levels. While you can move your human character during a battle (and you can get hurt if you're between the Pokemon), it is still a turn-style approach like any other Pokemon game.

Very fun game. It tries something different from the classic Pokemon formula and succeeds at it. Few trainer battles but the story is good as is the gameplay.

I would definitely recommend this game if your a fan of Pokémon. It’s a whole different gameplay with a focus of an open map! Your can explore at your own pace.

I feel like this game is under appreciated. It is a different take on the pokemon formula, but in all honestly I like where this is going. I hope future games in the franchise make bolder moves like this game did, I have played Scarlet and I liked Arceus better.

The best Pokémon game I’ve ever played!!!! The open world aspect and fast pace place is so fun! The story is amazing! Everyone of all ages should play this game!

It's a great game and changes the mechanics of how to catch Pokemon. The story was great but I wish there was more battling. But overall 10/10✅

From childhood this is almost exactly the game I dreamed about. I loved the exploring and battles. Open world and above ground pokemon is amazing.

Absolutely love this game, the gameplay was way better than I was expecting.

My son loves this game to the max he can not stop playing it

Son loves the game. The game is challenging and fun to play.

Amazing game. I love the open world and am very happy they decided to go this route. Great new concepts and ways to play the game in this version of Pokémon.

Very different from your typical pokemon game, but it’s one of the best pokemon games out there.

I bought this for my wife's birthday. She enjoyed playing through the game. I wantched her play parts of it. This is what she told me. Positive: -Game is faster/wastes less time -Open world with pokemon walking around (improved from previous Sword/Shield game) -YOU can choose when pokemon evolve -Easy to travel around the world -Easy to change pokemon moves making it less punishing to try out new pokemon in your team -Crafting is a nice addition Cons: -Special abilities that define certain pokemon not included -Boss battles are less about battling them with pokemon and more about dodging and throwing stuff at them -Odd looking choices for the design of certain objects/areas (what is up with some of those trees?) -Quests for legendary pokemon (other than the ones in the main story line) that used to be very important are given very little attention All in all. It's a welcome change in the formula the game has needed, but some areas need more work to reach their potential.

Such a good started playing pokemon with violet and scarlet i heard how greate this one was and i got it at a discounted price

Open world Pokemon following greater market trends. Fun to interact with individual Pokemon to interesting backdrop and less than stellar written characters and plot. Greater worry is the hope of improved iteration to Pokemon as a franchise without simply giving into trite checkboxes

This is not a mainline pokemon game, so adjust your expectations. There is no traditional gym challenge and there is a much greater focus on completeing challenges for the pokedex completion. Their is crafting but its a mild presences so if its not your thing it basically optional. Graphics look great and the story is compelling.

New take on the Pokemon series, only have been able to play for a couple hours but I like what I have seen. Would be nice if it ran higher than 30fps.

I bought this for my 8 y/o grandson. Andros was the salesman who assisted us and I can't say enough positive things about his assistance. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to gaming systems and was very patient and kind in tutoring me!

I wish more Pokémon games were more like this one. This game is the most fun I've had completing the pokédex, and the new mechanics like the strong/agile style moves, catching Pokémon in overworld, requests, etc are cool and unique. Lots of replay value, it was well worth my time. Would 100% recommend, A+
