Pokemon Legends: Arceus looks to be an interesting game - because it is the first time in a while that the series has shown meaningful ambition. Completely breaking away from the traditional mold of the series, Arceus goes for a systemic open world take on Pokemon, ostensibly promising to deliver what fans have been asking for from the series for so long.
While whether or not Game Freak can actually deliver on the lofty promises of a Breath of the Wild style Pokemon game remains to be seen, the concept is incredibly ambitious and exciting - and the details we have on hand do sound encouraging. Here are fifteen of those that you should know before buying Arceus.
While it could be argued that it isn’t that important in the long run, I really feel this franchise makes enough money that they should include voice acting 🤔
I would love voice acting in a Pokemon game.
Word🤟🏾
1000%!
Absolutely not. Every time they do voice acting it is so cringe he and childlike and I either have it set to Japanese or two off. Please God no do not put this in their brains. The only thing I would allow would be the old Pokémon voices added back.
Game freak putting effort in?? No that would never happen
Please don't mess this up.. this is the closest we have gotten to the dream Pokemon game
Agreed
For the looks of it, they already messed it.
@@yamilesgaib9018 meesed
@@plazmatter cant find that word on google
@@yamilesgaib9018 meese is the plural of moose. Also, they messed it up by nit having chimchar as the fire starter. If that were the case, we would have all 3 hyperspeed ninja starters (the dex entries for their final evos share similar feats of being able to deal attacks stupidly fast).
This game looks like it could potentially be a game changer for the Pokemon franchise if it performs well UPDATE: it is a game changer for the franchise
That's what everyone was saying about pokemon go, which turned out to just be an ingress reskin
@@johnr797 I mean Pokemon Go was mobile game and was never meant to change the franchise's core gameplay designs, it was meant to bring in new people which it did incredibly well.
@@murphyc15 I'm just saying pokemon go had the same potential and the hype was massive
@@johnr797 Pokemon go delivered what it promised, didn't you feel the storm for 2 weeks when GO came?
@@johnr797 wtf you going on about pokemon go was never guna blow up it was a mobile game for a reason you clown 😂
I’m so glad this is gonna be one version. How much of a pain in the arse is it to find someone to do a trade evolution with to fill that Pokédex
I, too, have no friends sadly :/
@@heulboje21 use reddit
Prob easier today then back in the day. Reddit/forums
me who just will eventually buy a second switch
it takes like a second to find someone online tho. Loads of pokemon communities out there
Hopefully if this game is well received we’ll get more “legends” in other regions in ancient or older times. Maybe the next one will be Legends Kyurem
I love that idea. Making legends of each region, and expanding the Pokémon universe, would be awesome. The Pokémon war in kanto, mentioned by Lt. Surge. The burned tower in johto before it was hit by lightning, and burned down. Literally so many possibilities
I am SO down for a legends Kyurem or Victini
Kyurem before it first time spilt into zekrom and reshiram or how it first meteor striked down to earth
YES YES YES YES I NEED ZEKROM
Heck yes. Kyurem having a legendary Complete Forme that hasn’t actually been shown in the series is practically begging for something like this. Because I doubt they’ll make it a thing in the BW remakes.
Man if legends arecus does well im just imagining a chance to see the ancient Unova and see the fully combined dragon legendary.
Wym fully combined dragon legendary ?
@@manimallhi1747 The lore of unova is that the legendary dragons are fully combined at first
@@manimallhi1747 Black and white: Two brothers own the legendary dragon together. One brother believes in truth. The other brother believe in ideals. They were constantly fighting about who was right and which way they should go. One day the dragon split into two. reshiram the dragon of truth and zekrom the dragon of ideals. Black 2 and white 2: basically the same thing for the first two but bring in kyruem. A monster that lives in the icey mountains. A certain village frees going out at night do to it taking villegares at night. Kyruem is left over shell of what wasnt taken by reshiram or zekrom. With a certian item you can combine either reshiram or zekrom to kyruem but not both.
I STILL gotta see what they looked like fused altogether
It will definitely do well. Me and 7 other friends are getting the game, so I see it being very successful
I’ll say it yet again the amount of pure potential this game has being an open world game. Gives us fans something we haven’t had in a long time. It’s something different but something so familiar I have a feeling it’ll be a good game with the direction it’s going.
It's semi open. Monster hunter style.
Everyone says this about each new generation of pokemon games, only to be left disappointed. It's best to just not get your hopes up anymore.
@@FreshOutThePrison I hate that style damnit...
If this is successful, I hope they spin it off. I'd like the idea of playing as Prof. Oak or Agatha set decades before Gen 1 games, setting out in Kanto while listing/capturing all 150/151 original pokemon for the proto pokedex
Yes the 6th game that takes place in kanto
You'll love Pokemon red
I dont care if it isnt perfect, its a step in the right direction and imma buy so they can continue to hopefully develop more like this, and maybe even improve on the design. 🥰
I'll also buy it just to support that they keep going in this direction. If it doesn't do well, I fear they will ditch it and see that as an excuse to go back on doing what they've been doing for 25 years.
*I'm going to buy this* or even *I'm getting it* "Imma" is for douchebags
@@benjaminaswad6486 telling someone what to type on youtube is a douchebag move
@@Murello. You'll be fine.
nintendo isn't your friend. their games are essentially made for babies. game freak is terrible. they were great back then. try monster sanctuary. pokemon games are not really that good.
I'd like to see the sounds pokemon make evolve to sound deeper and more filled out instead short high pitched tinny sounds they have carried over pretty much since gen 1
I wish they'd bring back the more animalistic sounds they made in the Stadium games...just add a bit more variety, because like the gen 1 cries, some of them were really similar
They are just keeping the calls the same for continuities sake .
I legitimately hope that if the starters get regional evolutions, they do not reveal it until after the game is released
In the latest trailers, the starter is past the normal evolution level. They are definitely keeping their evos secret :p
No they wouldn't do that. They'd advertise the fuck out of that.
I like to think your the actual PM of Vietnam
You could just avoid spoilers lol
I legitimately hope that socialism dies.
I’m generally excited for this entry, it’s the most unique looking game in the series.
pokemon ranger sad noises
sad conquest noises
Looks like Shield but a bit more open! Same crap.
It’ll flop
@@TeriyakiDior I’m sure it won’t, but it won’t be up to everyone’s expectations for sure. When I heard it wasn't open world I figured it would disappoint me more than I'd like. It's still a step in the right direction in my opinion.
the way you explain the game is exactly how i would like a pokemon game to play out. seems like games today have shifted to multiplayer. not enough single player games.
I agree. All of my friends don't have a switch and I recently brought one. I have 6 games and only 2 are multi-player.
YES. I don’t like multiplayer all that much and don’t have friends that actually play.
Same !!! I see all of it as a plus ➕️
Try any other jrpg. There's Shin Megami Tensei, Tales of, Atelier, Valkyria Chronicles, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, TMS, all of them on switch and 99% single player experience
pokemon has been a multiplayer game since it's very inception. it's a HUGE part of it's history, with the gameboy link cable and all. there's plenty of series suited to being single player, a pokemon game like this is not.
I bought Sword and it was so easy that I couldn't even get into it and I wanted to. Pokemon games are always on the easier side so I hope this game gives me a little bit of a challenge. Excited to see them actually trying.
you can always make the game harder by using UU pokemon over the UB pokemon? just a suggestion
@@ShakeyCup Or using one typing.
You should play PokeMMO
Check out radical red
@@Jake5537t Is it still getting updates?
THANK GOD they're finally doing something different from the series. Although it may not be the best at this point, I'm glad they're finally taking a different direction to the standard games. I feel that in the future, perhaps the next legends game, they will vastly improve the mechanics and listen to actual fans rather than rehashing the same old shit.
They’ve always done different stuff with Pokémon, Pokémon tournament, Pokémon let’s go, Pokémon mystery dungeon, etc. don’t know why ur saying they’re finally doing something different when they’ve always done something different
*thank arceus
@@maliex7661 Not on a scale like this. I would consider those games to be spin-offs with not as much development as the main games. The only real exception was colosseum/XD which did take a different direction I'll give you that but even that was missing a lot of elements.
@@raidev_ Haha yes
@@nims909 ur not giving me anything, I proved you wrong, end of discussion
Holy Cow, never seen graphics this good since gameboy color.
Finally someone other than me who likes the game graphics. It's rare to find people who think that and it reassures me that I'm not the only one who thinks that!😍
Bro the game is not even finished yet. Like the last thing they do is polish the game up and then they send it out
@@aaadjfje a lot pf ppl were probably let down from BDSP, since it's fairly mediocre compared to how much more there was in ORAS. I consider legenda arceus the true diamond/pearl remake and am actually excited for it
@@Alexandra-ng1ih The game releases on the 28th of January. I doubt their going to fix how the game looks.
@@Alexandra-ng1ih listen bro we’re almost at 1 month left until this thing comes out, that’s barely anything in development time. At the end of the day game freak will do game freak and people will buy it either way even if it does turn out Garbo. Pokémon at this point is just a more profitable FIFA.
People saying it looks bad really got all the korok seeds in botw and it shows.
Definitely lol
Mostly a single player game? Music to my ears. Absolutely cannot wait! A new era for Pokemon and gaming as well.. 🙏
This is a great concept, I do not mind pieced together big maps with loading into different zones. Big switch up and sounds like a good time sink.
Hisui isn't feudal Japan. It's Meiji era Japan. The end of feudalism and beginning of the Imperial Restoration
I was cautiously optimistic but after watching this I can safely enter the hype zone despite this being a "before you buy" video
Dangerous territory especially for a pokemon game, hope you won‘t be disappointed ✌🏽
They definitely will be
I love the funny and witty dialogue found in Pokémon Rangers. Hopefully in the future they’ll implement that in the mainline series.
Looks good. After sword/shield I just hope it offers some challenge. Would appreciate a difficulty option so that kids can enjoy, but adults can be offered a challenge
I believe there's a leak that showed two games modes. one was a laid back and one was like an experienced one
I think if it turns out to be successful then maybe in the next iteration they'll make it a full fledged sandbox game with maybe some voice acting to it but yeah again I hope it does well.
If it turns iut successful they'll just copy and paste woth jess effort. At least at first.
Its 1 million percent not going to be successful lol it’s not even an open world game. This game is literally just an expanded version of the wild area. Everyones dying over the graphics?? They look the 12 days to die beta game graphics lol. Breath of wild was released 5 years earlier and game freak as releasing games 5 years later with 2010 graphics
@@moonlightbae6143 ok?
They not going to do voice acting
@@moonlightbae6143 who cares as long as it sell well in their main market, Japan. Game Freak will still make bank since Pokemon is popular with Japanese gamers for very obvious reasons, international fans be damned
I hope Wailmers are shown as their real size if there's Wailmer in the game.
You mean like 6' around? They're not that big
For your sake I hope they are but the recent over world Pokémon have shown different.
Yeah they had that one wailord in Pokémon sword I had to stop and watch him for a couple minutes lol
Also on pokemon snap, all the pokemon are life sized. I feel like wailord is bigger then on sword and shield. In the sense of, sword and shield might of dwarfed it.
Wailmer and Wailord aren’t in the game oof
We've been wanting this for over 20 years lol.
Even 20 years ago I had more expectation than this joke.
@@yamilesgaib9018 I just don't get it. Nintendo has obscene amounts of money. They know that Game Freak can just release the same basic game over and over again and they will rake in hundreds of millions so there's no pressing deadline for developing the game. They can afford the very best talent in the world and give them all the best tools to make the greatest, most detailed, feature-filled open-world RPG ever. A game full of secrets, surprises, and even an engaging plotline and interesting characters. This would give them the best-selling game of all time. They would make billions in initial sales and on-going purchases within the game. They could make history. Instead, though, they've made this. *WHY?*
@@johnr797 Cause they think we are dumb, and partially they are right, but the longer they do it the closer they are to filling and spilling the tolerance of pokemon fans.
Its not even open world? Its just an expanded wild area with a few added quests. You cant even explore the whole region
@@johnr797 Because Pokémon mainline games are snacks that you eat multiple of over the day, while zelda is a full meal that you only eat one time.
Still think the visuals could be better and I hope I don't have to make a twig-collecting detour every five minutes so I keep a healthy stock of balls but honestly? I'm seeing a lot of potential for a good game here. Confidance got boosted a bit by the Diamond/Pearl remake; Initial trailer did not give a good first impression of it but it's been pretty solid.
You lot 🤦♂️ “It’s too easy!” “It’s too hard!”
@@AS-ri1mb What? When did I mention difficulty, let alone complain about it?
@@AS-ri1mb ?????
I fought with 3 Pokémon the whole game and only died once not gonna lie though Cynthia wasn’t playing games with my small 3 and a bunch of max potions she nearly broke me lol
They could definitely be better. Just changing the gras design would make a huge impact. I can't believe that they gave that a pass. Just like the shitty looking trees in sword and shield.
Great video! I came here after hovering over the pre-order button on the eshop, but I'm definitely feeling more optimistic now. Whether or not the game is done "perfectly", it's a super cool concept and an entirely new way to experience Pokemon. Plus as a casual player who plays solo, it will be nice to have a game that is more dedicated to that experience!
I’m so looking forward to a fresh take. I recall being told Sword was going to be what Legends is shaping up into. I was so disappointed with sword finding out the only free roam area was the wild area.
Its been like 20 years since I played a Digimon game on the PS1 but I BELIEVE those Digimon gained exp from helping others completing tasks. I could be mistaken since its been a minute. I would like a Pokemon game where you also gain experience like that. For example, helping out some leaf Pokemon by putting out a forest fire or someone having their storage shed on fire. You could use water pokemon (if you have them and do it quicker and get more exp points) or use a rock pokemon and throw dirt on it (less exp points for a bigger mess 😅), they could have different difficulty settings and the tasks are harder to complete. Another example, some fire Pokemon fleeing water pokemon and need to cross a river or lake. You could use an Ice pokemon and build an ice bridge, or a big pird pokemon and fly them across (depending how many need help) or just defeat/KO the attacking Pokemon if you can. Obviously they could still include the "Becoming the champ" or "Catch them all" goals as well...
Jeezus Digimon World 1..... fantastic game 👍
Which game was that? Cause yes, certain Digmon Games, DID give exp for doing a quest successfully. It wasn't Digimon World 1 though, since that was all about raw stats. Digimon World 2 introduced Levels. Re:Digitize was a return to Digimon World 1's style, and New Order was a storied sequel to the first DW.
Stuff like that is what I've been waiting for in a pokemon game for a long time now. Lol. Sadly idk if it'll ever happen. More stuff outside of fighting and being a trainer in the world to earn money, maybe own a property in the world and let your pokemon run free and customize a backyard for them. Etc. Free to go where you please as long as you have a pokemon that has abilities like fly or surf and you have built enough friendship/ trust. Or build npc relationships where they could feel positive or negative towards you and maybe take them on adventures with you and they can catch pokemon with you or invite them over to the home and let the pokemon play. Lol. Probably overcomplicates a lot but it would be cool though. 😅
The game that they do not to publicly acknowledge that they made was Pokemon Legend of Fenju Version for the Gameboy Advance. It was based on a failed idea that they indeed talk about putting into Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire about Wallace getting killed, and receiving an Evvee from your mother as a starter pokemon. They wanted someone else to finish it, and they had to tell this information that specific piece of information because of how I accessed the ability to play the game legitimately on my Pokemon Sapphire copy. The game js really fun to play, and it is definitely confusing to get past a certain early point of the game if you do not take notes about where exactly you went. I somehow screwed up somewhere and was definitely restricted from going to certain places in the game. Regardless even if you manage to do it successfully, you will still get stopped from playing the game.
@@joshernsteen2066 How..... How high/drunk are you?
Already playing it on my switch since day 19. Loved all the inovations done and the game feels much more dynamic now.
Regardless how it preforms i’m just glad we’re getting something new and they’re trying to freshen it up for all of us. I’m sure eventually everyone will have a good opinion on it
This video has made me more hyped then I was before. Can't wait till its release.
Same here honestly. I wasn't completely sold till they gave us more information. I got worried when they made it available for pre order with the little information we had but now that I've seen more of what the game has to offer I'm actually considering buying it
Hope PLA is targeted more for adult players than toddlers. Meaning the difficulty and challenges are easily noticeable which makes the game more fun to play in the long run. SwSh were so bloody easy my 5 year old son could play with his eyes closed!
The game appears to be more difficult because of the inclusion of added difficulty to getting Pokemon registered inside of the pokemon. Way back then when I found information about the game; it was clearly noted that the intended age group for playing the game was not for younger kids, on the most part. The main concern was not because of the requirements to register a pokemon fully into the pokedex, but more for the concern of the ability for them to dodge the pokemon coming their way. They definitely recommended that the younger child plays the game with a older sibling or adult that they trust until they are able to play it by themselves without dyng so much. Nintendo knew that might eventually forget to day this statement when they might be asked about it later on, tbey wanted to mention it while they were still thinking about it.. Spectrobe Origins for the Nintendo Wii is good way to have them practice moving around first prior to them playing the game, and also seeing if they are comfortable playing with a character actually taking damage. You do not actually have to create a save file to play then game. This game might have actually been what Nintendo was saying was going to be eventually created in the future as well. They clearly mentioned back then, if you only caught once in the game; it is not registered in the pokedex right away. By the looks of it, Nintendo could actually spoil the game for everyone if they are not careful. I have already seen an interview with them talking about the planned release dates for the game as well.
Have you tried the competitive scene? My first time doing it but swsh makes it so easy to do. climbing ranks is anything but easy unless you have competitive experience. Everyone says Pokémon games are easy yet can’t win three in a row in competitive mon gaming
The Switch was the first real chance I've gotten to play Pokemon, but of all the games to be released, I've never been so excited to play until Legends! The aesthetic already got me hooked, the idea of missions like this being exciting, but wow, I feel so ready to play! I'm especially excited of the more casual/"open-world" element that seems less overwhelming than BOTW, but the addition of the professor-style of filling out your Pokedex and how the battles stay "overworld" makes the world seem even more fun to explore!
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is very different from the other past Pokemon games because sometime a trainer need to dodge a wild Pokemon's attack instead the usual Pokemon battle to weaken a wild Pokemon before catching it. Watch some of the video on KZhead of how to dodge even the legendary Pokemon like Palkia, Dialga, Giratina and Arceus is really hard as it reminds me one of Nintendo sitch games like Zelda and Mario.
Pokemon colosseum was far ahead in terms of battles, pokemon sprites, pokemon on Idle, pokemon attacks and animations. Hopefully this game follows some of those aspects including normal sizes in the wild and battles. Game was much more alive back then.
I have never been this excited about a game ever, all I want is for this to be good omg
I'm optimistically skeptical. Not a day 1 for me but I'll keep it on my radar for sure.
Not me, i'm more skeptically optimistic.
i hope this game does well it looks so fun and i actually enjoy completing the pokedex so this game feels like it was made for me
Can we just get an official pokemon MMO already....just think about how cool it would be to just wonder a massive open world with all the regions and pokemon. You could run into a random person and challenge them to a battle or make a group and trade.
they should do something like a Metaverse for the existing PTCGO
We’ve been asking for this since day one lol Nintendo just won’t do it… it’s kinda like DC they refuse to give the fans what they want
They're experimenting with this idea. Do u want a really bad mmo rn, or do u want a really good mmo in 5-6 years?
There are browser based MMO’s. I remember playing Pokémon Crater back in the day.
Newbies and those who don't do thst iv breeding stuff would get merced even worse than the random battle challenges in gen 5, I had a dude completely stomp my team then request voice chat just to creepily deep breath on it
If this game is exactly how its shown, all I would want is Multiplayer features. Imagine playing this game and exploring it with your friends? That would be incredible.
Makes me want to replay Breath of the wild and monster hunter stories 2
Looking good so far. Haven't seem trainer battles so wondering if they will be in it. Glad you have a positive outlook in the game!
One thing i noticed is if the game was fully open world someone could just speedrun over to a high lv area and just catch a high lv pokemon at the beginning of the game.
There pokemon will get ko easy and they will break out of balls very easy
Not really. If your character takes damage they could easily be "killed". And they could also make it that they keep breaking out of the balls.
The game isn't truly open world. You won't have access to be able to just continuously walk between all the playable areas.
@@survivordave once u unlock them all you can
@@ultmewtwo Even if that's true, it still means you can't just walk from the start of the game to the high level areas for speedruns which was the OP's concern
how the hell would you know if the game is worth it or not if it hasnt been released
do you preffer to play new pokemon shining pearl before i start to play Arecheus ? Is there also some game conectivity?
It looks surprisingly promising. I haven't had the drive to play a main Pokemon game since Black&White2, but this is really tempting.
I really hope this game turns out great as the ads claim, I adore how they are trying to lead to a more accurate literal if Pokemon followed the Pokedex entries, and how they beautifully make it dangerous to go out without a Pokemon 4:44 Holy shit we can catch a chimchar, also I think multiplayer will be a story quest unlockable I can imagine they are trying team Galaxy encourage more people to work with Pokemon through battle competitions
Its not even an open world game. Its just an expanded version of the wild area with a few quests added. Dont get your hopes up
@@Pokeater game freak should try listening to what they’re consumer actually wants. The people who buy their products
@@moonlightbae6143 you don't know that
They have definitely been making this game way longer than they actually telling the public. They likely already finalized and confirmed a majority of the details already even before they were interviewed talking about the game prior to making Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I had my hunch further confirmed by when I found the information about the game; the company said that they were going to eventually narrow down on ideas on what to use for details, or something like that. This game is definitely one that they have been working a really long time on in private, and already came up with reasonable delay release dates if anything did not go according to plan.
@@joshernsteen2066 this game looks really empty. I hope they havent been working on it for a long time lol
I really hope they improve the graphic textures & framerate of this game before releasing.
True, the previous demo looks horrible
The game comes out in 4 or 5 weeks 😐😐this is how the game is going to look
They did. Havw you seen any of the newer trailers? Also they seem to be taking their time on it, so they will no doubt fix it. Lag was almost NEVER a big problem with pokemon, so I wouldn't worry about it too much
@@dragonheart7901 y- yeah that sounds right..... 🤧🤧🤧🤧
Can always patch it day 1??
I like how the Voltorb has the same color as the wooden pokeball. The little guy's got a beige tint! 💎
I hope that if the game succeeds they make it a spinoff companion series alongside the standard game format. I'm excited to give it a try, but I wouldn't want it's success to mean the old formula goes the way of the dodo
Same thing here
Wholeheartedly agree. Pokémon has always been safe for sensitive people and it would be sad if that got taken away. I really love Pokémon but I will not be playing legends arceus because of the open world attacking and battle formula.
I wonder if this is the game we learn about why certain Pokémon have changed. Like what happened to Scythers evolution, a did the certain minerals run out. Or why Voltorb was a grass/electric type
I think hisiun voltorbs are probably actually comprised of bamboo but that's just a guess
I love how this game basically brings all of the other entries in the series together. It really makes you see how other games were slowly paving the way for this game… totem Pokémon (and their sizes), gigantamax raging, let’s go catching, Pokémon snap tasks/journal progression… it was all leading to this game. And that’s fantastic. It has come full-circle and is quite magical if I’m being totally honest. I feel like a kid again
I think Wyrdeer is just an extra Stantler evolution in Hisui like how Galarian Linoone has an extra evo into Obstagoon. Or how Kanto Meowth is still called Meowth but Galarian Meowth is Perrserker.
As soon as they said “ unlike breath of the wild and more like a monster hunter” I was like Bro why
This looks like a step in the right direction, but it really only goes halfway towards what (IMO) a modern pokemon game should look like. It's crazy to compare Pokemon to other franchises like Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy. While those series have used advances in hardware to better capture the original vision of the series, Pokemon has remained almost identical at its core, only really adding gimmicks and sharpening graphics over time. Imagine if Breath of the Wild was as similar to LoZ as Sword and Shield are to Red and Blue. A modern Pokemon game should have a massive, continuous open world full of interesting locations to explore, real time Pokemon battles, a compelling and well-written story with voice acting and cinematics, puzzles that reward creative uses of your Pokemon's abilities, etc. Even if you stick to the same design philosophy as Sword and Shield, it's insane that a game with a split audience of ultra-casual kids and ultra-hardcore adult fans doesn't have a difficulty slider. Or that you can't have your favorite Pokemon walk around with you outside the ball when Pokemon Yellow did that in 1998. These decisions show that they're failing to do even the most basic things to fulfill the vision of the franchise. Every Pokemon story is about overcoming challenges to become the very best, developing relationships with your Pokemon to achieve their full potential, and traveling to the far reaches of the world to find new Pokemon and experience adventures. I never feel like I'm doing any of these things in the game. The world feels small and empty, the Pokemon feel more like different-colored guns I shoot at my problems than real creatures, and none of your "opponents" ever seem like they're really trying to beat you. I think Game Freak should forget everything they know about Pokemon, play Red/Blue, watch the anime, and then try from scratch to bring those elements into a modern game.
The thing is about Real time, people really do like the tactical aspect of turn based, and even still The game appeals to you with boss battles being real time with the turn-based part only being used to stun bosses.
I don't think real time works with Pokémon, it would break the immersion that you are the trainer if you have to play as the Pokémon in every battle. In the current battle system you are the trainer who gives the Pokémon the commands for the attack. This doesn't work with real time battles.
@@Saroku1000 Giving commands is the same way that you controlled Cloud in FFVII, that didn't mean that you weren't "playing as" him, that's just how that game allowed you to control characters. In the same way, you're already "playing as" the pokemon when you control them in battle, so I don't think it's that different to control them in real time. Also, in the "legends" setting of this new game, you could easily have the trainer involved in pokemon battles since wild pokemon will attack the trainer directly. This way, your Pokemon could be AI-controlled and join you in battle, or your "moveset" as a trainer could be commands that bring out different attacks from your Pokemon. I'm sure people will have problems with these suggestions, but those are just a couple rough ideas. Game Freak is partly responsible for the single highest grossing multimedia franchise in all of history, and they haven't innovated on the core gameplay of Pokemon in over 20 years. Turn-based combat was the only way to capture the feeling of a Pokemon battle in a video game in 1998, but we could do so much more now if they were willing to take a risk.
completely agree
ive never played a Pokémon game and I want to get into the series, do you think this would be a good game to start on or should I get one of the other games first?
Awesome video! Super informative and makes me even more excited for the game! Thanks!
if this does well i forsee a modernized version in a new region with similar or better mechanics. i personally love the stance changes
Didn't know a Stantler evolution counted as an "entirely new species."
I'm so happy he referenced Etrian Odyssey. Literally one of my favorite video game series that no ever talks about lol
I was hype before this video, but now I’m foaming at the mouth with excitement!!!!
I just hope this game finally has actual quality fight animation...
That's the one thing im sure of with this. From what the trailers show, the fighting will be awesome
Well, Pokémon actually hit each other now. So there's that.
I am so hyped for that. Already preordered
5:19 - you were talking about the possibility of pokemon joining in on battles. Well, looks like in the fight with Elctowire a elecobuzz I gonna jump in
I've always loved the different spinoff games like rangers and conquest, I'm glad they're actually making a big deal out of this one. Especially since I also get hype over anything that looks like monster hunter
Im hoping that the actual game ends up being as fun as it looks in the trailers. I’m not that picky though so it’ll probably good enough for me anyway.
Facts. People can't just enjoy anything these days.
@@stsscodok9889 that’s not the point, it’s just the fact that they could make such better games and decide not to because the Pokémon company is money hungry even though they have hella money already
Man I love your thought process. People bitch so much these days about everything it makes me want to just be grateful for everything instead.
@@stsscodok9889 And it's sad how people like you like anything and due to this companies and gamefreak/nintendo will never make decent games. Why can't they make pokemon game similar to Genshin impact? they can but they won't cause you keep throwing money at them. Maybe donate money to some charity dude since you seem to be very very rich that you can afford to like crap.
@@TwinTurboOnly im not really saying you shouldn't bitch either, more so that people complain just to complain on a lot of things. Are some of those things people complain about warranted? Absolutely. But there are a lot of people that go into anything LOOKING for things to complain about, while all the good things are ignored.
Super excited for the changes, it's nice to see something fresh. All we need is voice acting!! ❤
Voice acting would be a terrible addition. It didn't work in BOTW and it won't work in this. The graphics are too shitty. They would all sound like kids and it would be cringe as fuck. This is like wanting voice acting in Animal Crossing.
i have not been so excited for a video game since i was a small child i preordered it on the first day
Your first point is wrong. Mainline titles usually have two versions for that gen. Spin-offs typically have the one game, that might get a sequel or another separate entry. Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, etc.
I’m going to call Pokémon Legends: Deoxys. It’ll be in space. Coming 2029.
Im not going to go into NMS or Cyberpunk levels of hype... BUUUUUUUUT (especially after the entertaining and nostalgic yet slightly disappointing experience that was BDSP) I'm super excited for this type of game! Assuming all goes well and is well received, i wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if this was the direction of all future pokemon titles. Also I GET TO PLAY WITH MA BOI TYPHLOSION!!!!!! May he look as fresh as Cyndaquil does in the trailers!
First of all, that pokedex stuff sounds AMAZING!
Does it follow gym-pokemon league structure? Or is it just plain capturing in the wild?
I dont want voice acting, and I dont know why everyone does. Thats just not a pokemon game. I also think the graphics are fine and intentionaly the way they are. Its just the style. Im fine with this and am genuinly confused by everyones complaining
Because the graphics really should be better at this point. The Switch is capable of more and this is not just it. This game wants to look like BoW, while it completely fails. Everything is blurry and muddled, it gets jarring to look at after a while. I'd hate to bring up the SwSh tree debate up again, but have you looked at the trees in this video? Horrendous.
@@D0MiN0ChAn I mean like I said, it's just an art style
i found it strange that being a more ambitious take on the old games that they didnt expand further with multiplayer like hubs to trade in or to see other characters my thoughts along the lines of warframe or destiny 2 hub spaces kind of
I could totally see them doing more prequels like this. We finally will be able to experience the lore and history that has been built up through so many mainline pokemon games! Oh and see all the Lengendary god-like Pokemon in their prime!
Lore pokemon have no logic, as long as the history
At the start of this video was 1 of the best back handed compliments I have ever heard
People expecting Gamefreak to release a great, modern Pokemon game, are the same people thinking Toriyama is gonna let Vegeta finally get a Win.
Same,as much as the Pokémon fans are valid they really just hate anything for no reason
@@LycanMOON I haven't played the newer main generation games, but I have been waiting for an open-world pokemon for almost 30 years. This is... not what I was expecting.
@@LycanMOON I mean I could give you a list of reasons why I didn’t like Sword and Sheild and this game, predominately drawing on comparisons to other games in the nintendo franchise who make alot less money than pokemon but who are producing games over 5 years ago which game freak can’t even get anywhere close to creating today. No one hates for no reason lol, in todays market theres lots of competition and 60 dollars is a alot of money to charge for something which isn’t up to scratch/has any quality content or anything the consumers want. I’m still holding out hope and spending extensive amounts of money they will finally release at minimum an okay game but I’m really starting to lose all hope
Hey. Vegeta beat Topo.
I really hope that there is pokemon care in this game. I tried looking it up, but nothing gave me a answer. I really liked being able to pet your poke like in xy/sun&moon, but I also like camping in sword/shield. Being able to play with my mon's and make food for them was a fun side piece of the game. I really hope arceus does something similar.
This game just make sure it meets expectation and add local exploration and catching pokemon together and its perfect
As much as I'm excited for this game, it still boggles my mind why Game Freak insists on continuing to not have basic things other games and rpgs in general typically have nowadays such as voice acting and more detailed maps. Everything still feels very simple, and I'm sure you could argue that's an intentional design aesthetic, other games such as Breath of the Wild and Okami have shown you can still have beautifully designed maps while still maintaining a simplistic aesthetic.
How can you do a "Before You Buy" before the game has even come out? These are all just guesses
i bought bdsp sold it almost immediately because i cant get my favorite pre-game hopely i can get eeve gardevoir some others pre-game instead post-game since this look better than BDSP/SWSH/LGPE
The very first pokemon game I ever played was Gold. With that the very first pokemon I got was Cyndaquil. And months and months of playing I made him into my strongest pokemon capable of soloing all of the elite four single handedly, (thunder punch),(and after giving him a move that could hit ghost types). So that one holds a very special and loving place in my heart. I'm am excited for this game just on that alone.
1:32 Me who doesent even have nintendo online: i see this as an absoloute win!
I bought Pokémon Shield which was the last game I bought from the franchise. It had some good moments but ultimately did not enticed me to continue the post game. But this new installment is giving me chills. I hope it would open my eyes to the rediscovering the magic of my first time when I first played Pokémon gold and charm me like Botw.
I think this game looks dope and Iam really excited, imagine this game with 4k graphic on new gen consolos or PC with high res textures 😭😭😭. Really a shame that they werent able to make this game look somewhat modern :/
While people are disappointed in the last games I just go in without any expectations. Till now I love that game and I LOVE the way we complete the Pokedex cuz that finally gives me a challenge Im so excited
I'm loving everything but the choice of starters. A difficulty mode would be great that way nuzelockes will be even harder.
GF should have worked with Level 5 a long time ago to push the franchise into a more ambitious rpg. Imagine Ni No Kuni quality but with Pokemon. Keep the 1 to 100 level system for pokemons but give them their whole movepool, where moves are added on levels like before but are useable with a "mana" system so the best moves costs more
Or at the very least make it so you can have 4 attack moves plus 2 status moves.
This won't be as good as we want, but it's gonna get us where we wanna be
They have drop hints over the years through various interviews exactly how the game would function if they had to make it eventually. I found one that directly mentioned one of the missions of the game, indirectly while also keeping it underwraps as well. I also mention as well maybe through another interview that was conducted that they planned along to have the three starter pokemon be the ones that they mentioned in the trailer that they knew that they would eventually make in the future. They definitely mentioned that they wanted the transition to be as seemless as possible. The gams would have likely been pushed back a little further if they did not do all of this crazy, insane, and bizarre planning in advance.
The method of getting the Pokémon registered to the pokedex appears to be 100% correct, based on what I found out about how the charting systems works in the game, and how the game is structured as a whole. I believe that I actually knew this information for a long time now, on the most part. A very large majority of the content was not fully decided on by the company when I was somehow digging and found the information.
Holy shit that’s how the new Pokédex entry’s going to be????? I’m salivating at the the thought I can take my time and observe the Pokémon
Oh no, I'm going to have such a hard time choosing between cyndaquil and oshawott 😭 I remember playing Heart-Gold when I was young and cyndaquil was my beloved partner pokémon (my second after turtwig in Diamond). I can either stay faithful to them in this new generation, or experiment with the water otter I've long wanted to own despite never owning it's game. Such a conundrum... :(
Just finished watching sun and moon, gotta pick my boy Rowlett
Same lol 😂 it’s sooo hard just to pick one 😬
Just choose both ez
What is Nintendo's obsession with forcing the characters to have hats or scarves on their heads???
🤣🤣 this made me laugh, it’s so true 🤣🤣
Bro have you seen the pre order bonus pokeball thingy? I dont care about the game but i will definietly buy it just for the ball^^
It is so exciting to finally be getting legends arceus and how cool it looks
I really dont want voice acting so thats ok I also never buy switch online so multiplayer doesnt matter to me I think im good with this game
