13 Tips for Pokémon Legends: Arceus

[@XDarksoulX1129]

Just a tip. Some Pokémon are ACTUALLY FRIENDLY in the wild and will PLAY with you. I had a budew play a game where it came up talked to me then would lead me around and keep turning around making sure I was following. I eventually was like yeah this guy is coming with me. He hopped right into a ball.

[@dio_Brando1888]

Yeah when I had a bidoof on my team other bidoof would hang around and follow me lol there way a couple times they got in a way of a catch

[@XDarksoulX1129]

@@dio_Brando1888 yeah this was a budew that was just out in the wild as I was trying to find a raltz. He just ran right up to me. Then turned around and walked a short distance and turned back and waited for me. I walked up and he’d run a short distance again. I recorded it abit.

My favorite thing about the game that I think people might miss, is being able to choose your moves from a list, so you can adjust your moves to what you need or if you are going to farm Pokémon through battles, only have weaker moves. It’s just a cool feature that.

[@TheCrossed23]

Choosing from a list of known moves, crafting and finding items, evolution Button. No bs trade evolutions needed, main quest and side quests with lists. I hope these trends continue!

@@TheCrossed23 I agree. The crafting, and realistically the whole game just ticks the right boxes for me. Lol

This game is pure fun and enjoyment. I plead the original red and blue and yellow when I was a child. I'm 35 now. This game has made me feel like a kid again. Of course it could be better but so could just about anything. I heard a great quote the other day on Skill Ups channel. "Don't let the perfect get in the way of the good."

I feel the same. I'm 24, but I don't remember feeling this excited to play a game since Pokemon emerald. It's all I can think of right now is getting off work and playing the game.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

That quote is about avoiding perfectionism in the creation process, not an excuse for deflecting any and all criticism of a piece of work. I'm enjoying the game so far, but there are clearly elements very worthy of criticism, like the hilariously bad graphics.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

@@user-ni9wl1be7c "I don't notice the graphics while playing" Lol wtf are you even talking about? You're not blind, are you? "Theyre not that bad. There's some times (far away, in water etc.) Where I see pixelation. " The texture work as a whole is absolutely terrible, just look at e.g. some of patterns on the character's clothing. It's comically bad. On top of that, there are lots of low-poly assets, lots of aliasing, pop-in, unstable framerate... It's completely fine if you don't mind sub-par graphics, but these mental gymnastics you are doing in order to not have to admit that they are bad are frankly absurd.

[@jeffreystone8974]

I feel this spiritually, it's familiar enough that I don't feel like I'm trying to learn a whole new series, it's still a comfort game, but it's different enough that I'm excited to explore every bit of this world! I can't wait to get to the next chapter or see what crazy mechanic theyre going into introduce next. I feel like I'm back to the days we're catch them all was doable and fun!

Everything about Arceus is literally exactly what I wanted in a Pokémon game and I just am havin so much fun with it. I love this game so much dude I’m so happy they made this game. I really hope they make a sequel or even just have Arceus be the game that paves the way for new games in the future and have it be the revolutionary that the franchise stays just like Arceus.

[@CRCC830]

it surpassed my expectations ten-fold. i preordered it early and was honestly thinking about cancelling it until i saw the leaks. now i cant stop playing the game and it’s one of the few RPGs that make me want to interact with different NPCs and gain more insight into the hisui world/how it ties back to the pokemon we all know and love

the only shortcoming which idk if it’s bc i’m not far enough yet is that the “one town, pick any field map at the front gate” concept seems like it could get old if arent as invested in the game

I like this game. It's also refreshing to see something different to the formula, and not just the same old, beat all the gym leaders, become champion, and save the world from a nefarious criminal organization. This game takes Pokemon in a good direction. If they keep expanding in this direction, i think we can see some really good Pokemon games in the future. I also like how the game puts more emphasis on the pokedex. It's like i'm some Zoologist, studying and documenting these creatures for the first time.

I actually didn't know that. You may want to craft Poké Balls or other items like medicines while you're in the field if you don't want to fast travel back to camp then go manually to where you were before. But the ride Pokemon would make that much easier for sure.

yes personally I don't like how difficult to navigate some menu's are. For example the clothes in the shop. There are like 4 items of clothing for every body part and everything has like 20 color variations and you have to scroll through every item to see what's new because the menu doesn't show you what's new. Also this game encourages you to catch and free lots of pokemon but the lack of auto sorting in the farm makes it incredibly tedious to free the pokemon you don't need

A useful tip that nobody talks about is that if you're being targeted by multiple Pokémon, but don't want to initiate a multi-battle, you can force a single-battle against the Pokémon of your choice by landing a backstrike on them (you'll have to dodge them or stun them first since they're trying to attack you). This is useful if you only want to catch/battle one Pokémon at a time in a group, for example, during "distortion" events and the Sea Legend event.

Here's a tip for sneaking up on Pokémon. Crouching and holding ZR to ready anything to throw will make you much harder to detect, it seems they will only be alerted if you get sighted or maybe miss your aim. This is important to using Heavy Balls as you need to get pretty close to use them, couple with Back Strikes. You can also throw items like spoiled apricorns and mud balls into the distance to create a distraction to set up a Back Strike, but not all Pokémon will notice this.

Don’t forget when you see the parenthesis around the Pokémon that ZL will help you lock on to the Pokémon!

One tip is not sell your stardust. There is a recipe later on to make use of that. I wish I knew that. Also, do not ever use autosave. In a game like this where you might be resetting so often, autosave could mess that up really badly.

[@xiingli]

Side quest management and general objective management in the game is pretty poor. I wish you could see quests you don't have tracked if you just happen to be in the area to either: a) do a task for the quest; or, b) simply return a quest you have completed. Instead, you have to select the quest despite it being done or not to then see any tracking information. And then pulling up the quests themselves are a bit of a chore, involving going to your map, hitting Y, then hitting RB to go to side quests, then searching to find a particular one.

If you set aside the graphical issues the game actually has a very polished and smooth art style and the game itself is the most fun I've had with a Pokemoon game since Black & White and prior to that it would be the original Red/Blue/Green/Yellow on Gameboy.

[@ShakerPapi]

My first Pokémon game was the red then the yellow. This is what I always wanted in a Pokémon game. So fun!

[@mikevisby8744]

100% in this game will be brutal because you can't just catch every pokemon to do it, you need to 100% every pokemon's research.

[@sakurakitsunestar]

A bit extra pokemon gain 15 exp when farming an item so it can help level wearker team members... Second there's a side quest that auto nets you a shiny ponyta in game

[@FinalxChance]

Lol the second I enter the area for the first time ever a purple wurmple was just chilling between some trees like SUP BRO. Of course I caught it

[@desh206]

I well come back to this video when the game well be in my collection

[@sydgamer6665]

Spoiler in my comment. The bag updates only upgrade one slot at a time, not like 5 a time or anything sadly. I'm past the 20k mark on cost to upgrade for ONE slot and still want more but the cost is getting ridiculous. With that being said I have a tip for time rifts. As soon as you see one pop up that you know you're going to teleport to, go to camp, dump items and heal pokemon, and then go to your rift. You'll have plenty of time to do the drop off as long as you go to camp right as you see the message. Rifts take awhile to form thankfully. Why do all that? Rifts always give lots and lots of items on the ground and from battling Pokemon in the rift so you'll always usually need an empty bag. The gold ,star stuff, plates, and various stones will be worth the prior bag dump. Things continue to spawn in the rift while your in it so make sure to keep running around it checking the ground while it's there. Also rifts don't save so prepare well.

One tip I learned after many wasted minutes scrolling up to the purchase amount I want. Up down moves the counter by 1, but left right moves it by 10. This works anytime you are purchasing items, or moving items to storage if not using the bulk X to transfer all.

[@leeiansd]

Question, do you still need to evolve pokemon that needs to be traded like Haunter -> Gengar?

[@zerrierslizer1]

pro tip on what resources to REALLY stock up on in the early game. *KINGS LEAVES!* in the later game you get access to the Max Revive item that, obviously, revives fainted pokemon and gives them full health, and all it takes is a normal Revive and 2 kings leaves. FARM THEM ALL, i mean it! those will be INSANELY important later on, or even mid to late game, as they will really save you in a pinch!

[@KAW96]

My biggest tip is understanding the rankings - rank is the games equivalent on Gym Badges BUT to get them you need exp from catching pokemon and completing research - don't go exploring for too long without speaking to the Professor at the campsites. The exp doesn't carry over and it frustrated me and my partner when we found this out xD

[@c140075]

A purple wurmple was actually my first shiny I came across and caught in this game

[@GoldChocobo77]

Can you imagine one of the next version being an "adult" pokemon game, with adult main character, super realistic graphics, real nasty pokemons that are so aggressive you also need to know martial arts to attack & defend as well.... One can dream 😛

[@usui14]

This is the best pokemon game since black/white for me. Definitely on top like Platinum/HGSS/Black2White2.

[@derptothemaxclearly]

A level 99 Alpha Bidoof is it's own reward my friend.

[@IceStorm-l4t]

Nice video and thanks. I am looking forward to starting this game after I finish some backlog I am into. I got a hard copy day one lol.

[@QwertyCaesar]

Pokemon only truly despawn if you either return to the village, scare them away, or if they disappear with the changing of hours eg ghost Pokemon disappearing at sunrise.

[@Matthew7772005]

Thanks for the video. Loving this game. I'm 8 hours in and having a blast. Your tips were helpful.

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

I was done with the franchise. SwSh was the final nail in the coffin. I swore never to buy a pokemon game again. Then the bois over at Nintendo Life give this game a 9/10 and I was flabbergasted. They must have been paid off or sponsored, I thought. But I couldn't help myself and bought it out of curiosity. Oh my god. The bois were right. I haven't enjoyed a pokemon game like this since X and Y.

[@elcheshireilustracion9396]

I'm really liking Legends, but I absolutely hate that I can't map buttons, and that running is L and crouching is B. I wish I could switch those, just to help with muscle memory from BotW.

[@jdrahonovsky]

Its an insanely common mechanic to have run on L.

[@elcheshireilustracion9396]

@@jdrahonovsky sure. I wish I could map it not to.

[@TheMorbidHobo]

There is a mod for exactly that.

[@YustinJ420]

Yeah clicking the L button all the time is kinda annoying but you don't need to run a lot in this game especially once you got every ride pokemon. And crouching with B is something you get used to pretty quick

[@rogermalpass5278]

Thank you someone finally pronounces it right I literally just skipped 4 videos I was going to watch because they pronounced it wrong I legit wasn't going to watch a video until it was pronounced properly

[@jayqueuescontent8075]

6:45 omg picked it back up after a couple years and the first Pokémon that appears was a shiny zubat and I was super rusty and nervous because throwing the balls wouldn’t work for some reason but then I was able to put it to sleep and use an ultra ball the old fashioned way thank god
