Pokémon Legends: Arceus Has Come a Long Way but the Remakes Have Us Divided

Honestly, even if Arceus ends up only okay, it looks like it leans into so much of what I love about the Pokémon franchise. Lore, history, discovery... I'm not as much into battling as I am into the Pokémon themselves. (That’s part of why I love New Pokémon Snap.) I'm really hyped, and I hope they continue to build on this groundwork in the years to come.

[@corrinflakes9659]

I mean it does look to be really great on the Pokémon lore front, on grand lore we literally have Pokégod playing a super major part in a canon game. And for smaller scale yet tasty lore, we have Basculegion's Dark Souls-level entry of lore.

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

That's what I was saying to some people hating on it because the graphics aren't exactly the highest quality. As long as the core of what they are trying to do with it, provide a rich pokemon experience beyond collecting badges and filled with discovery, is executed well, people wont care what the game looks like. It's literally why people adore gen 4-5 now.

[@wachinga]

I find it interesting how they haven't revealed anything about how Arceus is related and barely mention it, so that you can discover it yourself in the game.

[@rodrigofigueiredo8597]

You are not into the RPG part of an RPG series?

[@awesomesauce94]

and to me it seems to fulfill a wish I have wanted ever since I was young. I always wanted a pokemon game that felt like the anime, where battles happened out in the wild and you could freely explore. before battles would always be transitioned into some generic "arena" with some wild back drop as you take long turns just hitting each other, and it never really felt immersive like how it's portrayed in the show. but here, the landscape doesn't change, there is no transition to some blank open field where everything around you prior just goes away. you battle with the pokemon exactly where you are on the map in that instance. I'm hoping that someday we might even get a pokemon game that can have real-time combat instead of turn-base, something more involved but still simple to grasp. gameplay similar to kingdom hearts or the newer final fantasy games, where you can actually freely control your pokemon in combat. imagine it like pokken tournament but rpg combat rather than fighitng game combos.

That's not necessarily a good comparison. ORAS had some issues with Pokémon availability that had already been fixed in Emerald, but they chose to use the original RSE settings instead. Same with a few opponent trainer teams. The fact that they did not address the problem of Hoenn's water (not that there's too much of it, but how awfully samey it was - you could only encounter copious amounts of Tentacool and Wingull) was also a bit of a disappointment. Still, ORAS had its moments of awesome too, so BDSP following its footsteps wouldn't be a worst-case scenario.

[@goldmemberpb]

BDSP honestly looks really clean now. I did not expect following pokemon to be back but I really hoped that this would get a Let's go style customization and they delivered on that. Now, I hope we get their platinum outfit as unlockables too. We also get skin tone options too despite the fact that Dawn and Lucas are established characters. Not sure about how they will integrate platinum elements into this. The battle area might only have the tower and they may keep the more generic look of that island from DP instead of Platinum. Storywise, I hope giratina gets a good postgame story. I want to see the distortion world in HD. Legends looks great. Of course, people will still complain about low resolution textures but this is the switch we are talking about. The system is below the base xbox one in terms of power. None of the open world games on the system have really clean looking ground/rock textures. So, i am not really worried about that. The pokemon themselves seems to be more expressive and of course, it having customization is also a welcome surprise.

I think that they still could’ve done better on Legends Arceus’ textures. BOTW has some nice textures for grass. I also really dislike Legends Arceus’ water textures, it looks very blocky from Afar. I’m not too mad about it, but it could be a lot better

[@goldmemberpb]

@@boxpin8967 The water looks pretty nice. As good as SWSh if not better. BoTW has nice grass but a lot of why it looks nice is the celshading they chose. Also, having that many grass kinda tanks the fps. BoTW isn't exactly the gold standard for stable performance. The way Arceus looks is probably the best Switch can do for a big open world game like this without really hampering fps. Sure they can fix some textures here and there but I am not really too fussy about it. For me now, the game has to deliver on a nice story and how involved some of the sidequests are. I want really involved legendary mon sidequests. They also have to give us some nice landmarks all through the region instead of just generic grassland, and snow plains.

Yes, true.

You are all nuts.. What Breath of the Wild did great was the mobility of the character.. one that we've never had before in a free-roaming world. It also introduced an interactivity with said world through elements and abilities, like we haven't seen. This Pokemon game does not only look worse. The world itself doesn't seem to offer anything AT ALL. It's just there to house the static Pokemon for turn-based battles.. again. The trainer is there to move poorly and get smacked UNTIL he throws out a Pokemon, and beats the creature he wants to capture. Why even sneak in the first place when you can battle it out anyway? It doesn't make sense, it's poorly thought out and designed. How can any of you say what you said with a straight face?

[@grassypond]

@@Big_Dai I think it is wrong to directly compare Arceus to BOTW and call every change worse, especially since it hasn't released yet. Based on what we seen so far from the trailers, the story is likely to be more structured than BOTW's. You start at Jubilife Town, you are part of an expedition team, you are going to meet a cast of characters right of the bet. This means that the experience of playing the story is already massively different to BOTW's "pick a direction and uncover whatever you find". The game is still turn-based with some action elements, we don't know how well it meshes with the open world aspect until we actually play it, but even this shows that GameFreak is looking to make a different gameplay experience than BOTW.

[@drew8235]

As someone who pretty much missed out on gen 4 I'm very excited about playing the remakes. Art style is important, sure, but what I think is much more meaningfull in a new Pokemon game or a remake is for them to focus on updating old systems and adding very necessary quality of life changes. For me personally, I could not go back to old style breeding for even a second. The changes made to breeding, IVs, EVs, etc. for Sword and Shield made me actually able to have the time to prepare teams for competitive battling. I'd take that any day over art style stuff.

[@plentyofpaper]

For the remakes, I actually appreciate that they didn't modernize them to reach parity with Sword and Shield with the UI and 3D world. The old style has a level of intentionality about world design that I feel is lost in modern games. It feels like the structure of the world was assembled to make an explorable world where every tile was intentionally placed, and then graphics were added to make areas recognizable as towns or forests or beaches or whatever. In modern games, I often feel like an artist was told to make a model of a town. He then makes the model, then somebody else populates it with NPCs, treasure chests, and some fetch quests and calls it done. It generally looks really good, but getting around often feels less involved. I really feel this effect the most while comparing Link's Awakening to Breath of the Wild. There's definitely room for both styles to exist side by side.

Anybody who played the originals should be able to tell. I'd pay 20 bucks to replay this game with these upgraded graphics. Anything more is a rip off. Since I have the original, I can just replay that instead of wasting 60 bucks.

I think that's what hurts the most. DPP had the biggest impact on me and I loved it the most with it being my favorite region. So coming into BDSP with expectations of it being similar to HGSS or ORAS and seeing it so...well, Disappointing. No updated Pokedex, No new forms, No 3D Overworld, No new battle animations, and a new art style that makes it feel like we're going backward instead of forwards into the current generation. So I agree with Alex on the obligation standpoint and just feel Disinterested.

I'm more excited for the DP remakes now more than ever seeing that they're not completely gutting them and selling a half baked cake at full price. While arceus as a next gen open world game on the switch I still think it's been done better by Breath of the Wild and more recently by Monster Hunter Stories 2 in both the visual and mechanical aspects. AI in Arceous still looks brain dead with little reaction to anything going on. Specificly when one of its brethren is caught right in front of them the pokemon just sit there and stare not a single reaction.

??? Lol I feel like Alex hasn’t really paid attention to GEN4 remake. They changed art style, added costumes, revamped contest, base/hideaways with statue effects, added following Pokémon which wasn’t in D/P, brought back the mini games/sticker customizations. Diamond and Pearl is ridiculously expensive to get on an actual DS now. This is going to be a much more definitive version of those games at a cheaper price with new features and QOL. Is it platinum? No. Do people wish they would add things from platinum to that game? Yes. Knowing GameFreak/TPC, are they ever going to let the players have what they want? Of course not. I think the remakes are in a perfectly fine state it just seems more like Alex is done with the older Gen stuff in general.

Zerora is already free since launch. They’re just reiterating it, honestly a great game and I usually don’t vibe with that

[@Cleoli2]

I have to say for BD and SP, they definitely have improved quite a lot and the new features are really nice and I really didn't expect them to improve as much as tthey did, but for me personally it just isn't what I would have wanted from a Remake, Its Artstyle is confusing me with the Chibi Humans but normal looking Pokemon following in the overworld and then the switch to the fully realised models that look quite nice in battle. Battles against Team Galactic seem to just be in these empty voids, which while some may find fitting, are to me lazy looking. Its just too similiar to the original games but lacking the charm of the Sprites, both in the Overworld and in battle. I think that what it tries to be it does well, but sadly for me, that just isn't what I would have liked. ;/ Im gonna observe the games with interest but I'm pretty sure I won't buy them

[@croxxknite2090]

Can't agree more. It's good that we see the improvements made. But I'm definitely not bought in on the Chibi Art Style still. After getting the mega evolutions alongside XY and upgrades from 2D sprites in the Ruby Sapphire remakes. I personally thought that maybe we could see something similar to Let's Go or SWSH. But maybe that's the most an outsourced studio could do? The only good part is that I can save some money from not buying BD and SP. On a side note, I will love to support Arceus, at least it's a new direction and I will look past the graphics for now, I love the improved graphics, but I also think it will be better in the future.

I feel the exact opposite oif Alex, when it comes to the art styles of Pokemon and Zelda. I disliked it so much in Link's Awakening that I didn't buy it, despite Link's Awakening DX being my favorite 2D Zelda. I felt the the art style in the remake just didn't match how I was imagining things in my head when I played the original version. I think I was imagining the adventure playing out in a more... 90's anime style, like the style of the intro/artwork. The art style in DP is essentially a direct translation of how the original versions looked back on DS, with the chibi proportions and all. It's just in actual 3D this time instead of the psuedo-3D that was used on the DS. So I find the look to be quite charming.

[@futuregenesis97]

Very interesting take.

[@Neoxon619]

Gen 4 didn’t really hit its stride until Platinum, so I’m hoping that we get content from that game as well. Or at the very least, keep the battle frontier this time. As for Legends, I’m definitely more excited for it than BD/SP & I hope it’s a testing ground for Gen 9. But I hope they delay the game if they need more time, even though I know how committed TPCi are about their release dates.

[@OriginalSteeldude]

Looking at the Sinnoh map, it doesn't look like Battle Frontier will be included.

[@ilovecokeslurpees]

Platinum is much better than Diamond and Pearl. Fixed a lot of the moves, Pokemon list in the game, battles, gym leaders, and more. It was the overhaul in design Gen 4 needed. Platinum is still my favorite Pokemon game.

One year later you can pay another 60 bucks to get the platinum remaster.

[@nintendokings]

I couldn’t be less interested in the Remakes, yet am happy with their approach. Why? Because Gen4 onward, the games are polished and look good. There’s no point in putting lots of effort in it. Like, why would you remake Super Metroid? Only to bring it to a new audience and give a modern way to play it. Which BDSP is going for. GF is making the right decision to focus on Arceus, because they need a more ambitious mainline game. Pokemon was the most ambitious title on the GameBoy it wasn’t even close. Put S/S vs Breath of the Wild in terms of ambition, and it’s a joke, can’t even compare. GF has to drop the remakes and spend their time & money on ambitious main games

[@pastelshoal]

Honest, I did want remakes for a good bit, but imo these don't really do a lot to make these games more interesting. Was more hoping for a game in the spirit of Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire where we could see Sinnoh in full 3D. It frankly took so long for them to come out, that I'm actually back to not really wanting them anymore. I went back to the original Platinum recently and frankly, that game is still incredible and holds up quite well. A remake would have to be offering serious upgrades for me to care.

The trailer never showed anything around collectables, secrets, puzzles, actual stuff to do in the world... It just feels like a walking/Pokemon riding simulator with some Pokemon catching now. I've been waiting for a good, huge, modern open world Pokemon game for ages, but this seems far from it. They should have partnered with Monolith or something.

It seems the trailer was more interested in establishing the region, introducing main cast members, Galaxy Expedition, Jubilife Town etc. I do agree that so far it seems the main purpose of going out and exploring is to fill out those Pokedex quests, and it wouldn't really be a substantial game if that really is just it. Even if there is more to it I do hope that GameFreak does do a smaller than average open world since it is their first time doing a whole game around the concept. The only experience they have done so far is the Sword and Shield DLC, where the story is also doing quests around catching Pokemon and uncovering Legendary Mysteries. I'm still excited for the game but mainly because I'm interested in the story since it is so far removed the "Beat the League, Save the world" formulaic structure of the mainline series. I hope that GameFreak took some inspirations from the Mystery Dungeon games since that series is all about being part of a guild and having a story that is solely focused on the Legendaries and lore.
