I hope in 2023 we can move onto Switch 2 or whatever it is tbh.

A lot of the Switch outdated hardware hurt No More Heroes 3 (amongst others) as well n Im worried about Bayonetta 3, BOTW 2, Pikmin 4 n Metroid Prime 4.

Its amazing what some games can get out of it tho like Shin Megami Tensei 5 & Astral Chain, but most struggle these days & dont even get me started on the 3rd party ports of major titles & how it def cant keep up with PS5/XSeries at all.

If Arceus is a prototype n test run for the tech of gen 9 it needs more power/flexibility.

Oh ok

Anyway.... Nice to see Legends Arceus is getting great reviews.

Nah they meant this merely in a gameplay standpoint lmao. Legends still have technical issues that even better hardware still wouldn't fix because GF just isn't that good of devs.

Is arceus Mainline?

I ain't giving them my money I'm just gonna dl it

Ya you can

While I don't condone piracy and rather you just buy second hand if you don't want to give them money. Do what you gotta do boss. You can absolutely mod your switch and then can play any games you want just stay offline.

yes, sometimes its frustrating getting stuff to work but usually there will be a fix someone will post about somewhere

Several of the new forms are growing on me. Goodra for example is a huge step up & closer to my personal vision of what it should've been originally. We still Sliggoo Gang though.

H-Decidueye is executed better than it's Alolan counterpart

Typhlosion is odd but unique, I like the odd ones. Lilligant is another odd one but it's very charming and looks more like a pokemon, its og dress was too much. Them southern belle vibes was awkward.

Arcanine, Ursaluna, Kleavor, Zorark, blue stripe Basculegion all just dope.

I was back and forth on this but I'm looking forward to giving this a chance.

Sneasler makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

Sidenote: Do we know if there are prominent HD Rumble features in this?

F*** it im picking up my pre order tomorrow, they got my ass again 😭

kind of leaning toward getting arceus. just feel like it's missing something. like just feels like the entire game is built on collecting and there's no real goal beyond that?

Getting it bc I’ve been buying pretty much almost every mainline Pokémon game. Been bored with bdsp since like December. Just waiting on dlc or more updates or special events but they’ve been lacking on that prob due to arceus releasing. Nonetheless I’m excited.

how big is this game in comparison to botw? Will i discover all the areas in the game quickly or will it take a long time like in botw?

S*** is surreal so far … we really manifested this over the past 15 yrs

Starting Arceus now

No spoilers but for the ppl who already got this is it dope? I'm a dude who liked Pokemon as a kid but p much grew out of it because each game is like exactly the same lol

Yea it’s really refreshing I skipped any of the preview stuff so it’s a pretty fresh experience but I’m kinda blown away so far. Very much like botw

im spoiler free besides the trailers, less than 2 hours left boys n girls!!!!

IM JEALOUS

sigh am I really about to cop this s*** cus I have nothing else to play

Does anyone know how to evolve their starter? Can evolve all my other Pokémon but Cyndaquill hasn’t been able to evolve yet and his past level 16

just watched like 3 minutes of Disguised Toast playing this s*** and it looked f***ing immaculate, the indoor areas look really cool.

they snapped on the overall design choices here. Feudal Japan as an inspiration was a huge W

Watching a bunch of video reviews for Arceus and they’re lowkey convincing me to cop it tomorrow

Think I might. Game is impressing me the more footage I see of gameplay
