[@pinkster0078]

This is my first Pokémon, I’m liking it.

[@dun0790]

Think i might get this at weekend

[@countryboyred]

I’ve been playing since Gold. This is easily the best game of the series and it’s not even close. It’s everything I have ever wanted in a Pokémon game. I love the catching mechanics, battles are actually somewhat difficult at points, the story and setting is cool, I love how you can customize your character, etc. 9/10 game for me. Only drawback is the graphics but I don’t care about graphics anyway. This game freakin rocks. My roommate doesn’t even like Pokémon and we played it for 6 hours straight last night.

[@ircha]

It sounds like we're exactly the same! 😁 👍 This is also how I feel!

[@LordSteeleCastleClashPsteele68]

I actually like the graphics and everything about the game I've also played since gsc I had silver and I told my friends this it's the best Pokemon game ever

[@countryboyred]

@@LordSteeleCastleClashPsteele68 yeah it is the best Pokémon game, I agree

[@sparkdrive2900]

any tips on beating Volo, the final boss of legends arceus?

[@Sentinel82]

I hate that there's no daycare for min/maxing a Pokemon

[@orlandomota6685]

This was my first Pokémon game I’ve ever played and I’m loving it!! A few things are still a little confusing to me cos it’s all new but I’m hooked either way. Great video 🤘🏾

Welcome to Nintendo family lol

[@timdrake4951]

@@Mast3rLand3r speaking only for myself, I have been in the nintendo family since the 80s and have yet to play a pokemon game. Just never appealed to me. This one looks kind of interesting though.

[@pinkster0078]

@@timdrake4951 I’m the same, 42 year old, never ever interested me, love turn based games, loving it.

[@Openreality]

Honestly I wish this was the first one I've ever played, however it's the first one that deviated from it's roots. Also if this is your first one, than you'll be up for a change with the other main games. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@Openreality]

@@timdrake4951 If give this one a shot. I'll put it this way I might not buy another Pokemon game again, because they don't seem to stick with new ideas for very long. Hopefully they will with the positive feedback this game had received and is the best selling Pokemon game of all time.

[@popskar]

The soundtrack is brilliant. A lot of areas echo the themes of towns and routes from the original game locations but they’re not direct remixes, but rather their motifs are explored in entirely new arrangements.

[@ircha]

I noticed!! I'm loving these details in the music!

[@Matthew7772005]

Love this game. 8 hours same 1st time as you. So many fun things about this game. It's one of my favorite Switch games as well. Thanks for this review.

[@AdmiralPeach]

Hands down my favourite Pokémon game, the controls are so intuitive & smooth and the gameplay loop is exciting & really fun. The Pokémon have so much character & I even grew to love all the characters. Shiny hunting is actually fun & not too much of a grind. I haven’t obsessively played a game on the Switch like this since BOTW! 100% worth it, need more!! 💕

[@countryboyred]

I agree completely. It’s like Pokémon meets BoTW. I’m having a blast with this game, it’s the best.

[@juanra85]

You're probably the person I trust the most with reviews. I appreciated this one a lot, thank you.

[@ircha]

Thank you! All I care about is to be trustworthy 👍😎

[@juanra85]

@@ircha and just to add to this, you convinced me to try Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth on Vita, I've seen you talk about those games a lot and saw you playing it in that video where you showed us that you moved, and I'm loving it! I bought physical copies of the first two and I'm so glad I'm playing them.

I was skeptical of getting this but since Ircha approves I will definitely be getting it she has great taste in games love the content keep up the great work 👍

@@Madvillian83 Thanks for watching

[@NicholasHutchings]

I agree with you. I don't really get all those people who don't like this game. I'm finally having fun with Pokemon. Finally!

[@owlitup2225]

The loading screens are ultimately a trade-off. They are fast because the game loads in the entire map as you enter. Downside, this means you can't fast travel to another area, you have to go back to the village and then go, which can get annoying

[@ADHDlikeme]

You can sort your Pokémon in the pastures by pressing Y while in the pasture and you can also multi select. I wholeheartedly agree with your review! I never liked Pokémon games before and now this is my all time favourite game. I am absolutely loving it! Keep up the awesome content! 🥰💖

[@ninjamurai]

Wow thx, didnt know that

[@swimforlife88]

i love how you are honest about how you love games… it makes me excited to play

[@CrazyBuffyFan1]

I only just got to the third area, and I've been playing for over 12 hours. It's so addicting, and I actually feel like completing the Pokedex for the first time in ages. The requests are fun too! Some might find it all repetitive, but I'm not bored of it at all. :)

[@ciapposaki]

Great video! Just wanted to add a thing about the gameplay which is worth to mention in a pokémon game: SIDE QUESTS ! They are surprisingly enjoyable. They help you know fun things about pokémon, catch them and introduce them to the village people :)

[@catie7466]

thank you for this video! i was hearing mixed reviews and was waiting for you to give your input since you always have very similar taste in games as me. i bought it today after watching this and had so much fun! played for like 4 or 5 hours which i usually dont do in one day. it's not perfect but it's the most fun ive ever had with a pokemon game.

[@ircha]

So glad to hear that you trust me ❤️❤️ and that you are enjoying it too! 😁 👍

[@lauramayfair7887]

I pre-ordered but haven't had time to play yet. I am in graduate school and did all my homework tonight so that I can play tomorrow and the weekend. I am so excited. Even more excited now that I know you love it so much. Great video.

[@Franziii96x]

I can totally agree with your opinion! I got the game on Friday and put it away on Sunday with 30h gametime. I'm playing pokemon for years now and in sword/shield I have the same playtime over WEEKS and I only finished the main story. In this game the time flies and I'm not even close to finish anything with the same playtime. In the last game I had the feeling of work on some points because it's not the best pokemon compared to other titels of the series but the new one is THE BEST POKEMON EVER! I didn't care about the graphics too much and it's a very good story :) Everyone how likes pokemon should try it because I want too share this experience and I hope we get a lot of Dlc content in the future!

[@dun0790]

Saved for tomorrow so i can wake up to ircha

[@elicarlson7682]

good idea

[@jacksamuk]

I have kept my expectations low due to past disappointments with the hasty-re releases of Pokemon games . However, diving into this new experience I am surprised by the quality of innovation on all spectrums of the franchise. It is an audaciously-necessary leap that Pokemon needed to rekindle the community's flame of addiction . The graphical-sacrifice does not in any way hinder the overall experience of the fluid gameplay and world immersion, it is hard to go back to old formulas of gameplay after experiencing this new approach, the future of Pokemon is promising!

[@harpforGod]

Been waiting for this!

[@Riz2336]

I may actually get this. I haven’t played a real Pokémon game since red on game boy and I’ve been thinking about coming back to it

[@cherrynoodles5516]

I’m definitely going to get the game now thanks to your review! I was totally on the fence about this because people seem to either love or hate this game but I trust your opinion because we have a similar taste in games. It was because of your videos that I started playing Story of Seasons which is a game I love now!

[@ircha]

Aww thanks 😍😍👍🔥

[@thehorrorzone9739]

This game is fantastic. It gets tiring hearing people cry about the graphics but I think this is the best pokemon game I've ever played and I've played since the Gameboy days. Thanks for the review I always look forward to your take on games.

[@santinogoring8860]

I don't watch reviews for games, except from Ircha Gaming alway honest and authentic

[@ircha]

Thank you. I can't NOT be honest, and in this review I feel like I'm going against the crowd almost by saying that I like it 😆

[@StabStabStabStabby]

@@ircha a lot of people like the gameplay. People are just disappointed with a billion dollar franchise putting out a flagship game in 2022 that looks worse than some 3ds games.

[@santinogoring8860]

@@ircha And that's why to me you have the best reviews weather positive or negative, you give the bad, good, ugly and best aspects of the game. Do your thing girl and those that appreciate will always support. Would like to see some Playstation/Xbox/PC games reviews you have talent for conveying your thoughs honestly, but professionaly.

[@SebastianSkadisson]

I agree 100% with the review, they improved on the Pokémon formula in all aspects. The only ideas i have for optimization are new features, and that says a lot. Okay, the shiny dirt is a bit weird, and the screenshots on the e-shop store page are picked in a very unflattering way; it's like deliberately they picked the worst looking scenes in a game session. To all the people second-guessing just because of the graphics in videos and screenshots, in my opinion the game looks way better in person. The parts i love the most are that the village now actually has a meaning and grows with you, and that zones are a bit more like in monster hunter - big, beautiful and with tons of little secrets to explore. What would make the game perfect would be interaction between Pokémon in the wild, of course they can never script the pokémons in a way that it looks just like in Snap, but some interactions when Pokémon meet in the wild would've been the cherry on top. Also sorting, yeah, it becomes messier than the BOTW menues because there is no sorting. And online duels would've been great too, but i bet that will eventually come now that the game sold as well as it did. p.s.: And the best thumbnail award 2022 goes to Ircha's beautiful face. :3 Ircha's face and a Switch game, what's more to want from an attention grabbing thumbnail.

[@desmondus21]

already bought the game, but still listening to your review! I'm really enjoying Pokémon Arceus, absolutly love the game!! The first pokémon game I played was Pokémon GO. Then I picked up Pokémon yellow for the gameboy about 4 or 5 years ago. I later tried sword and shield on the switch but never got into that.

[@franck4727]

I have put 20+ hours into this game just in 5 days. I'm only at the second area I mostly do side quests and complete my pokedex. This game despite its flaws is really addicting. I have to force myself to stop playing it, I'm like "dude, you have stuff to do today stop playing pokemon". I'm glad I've decided to give this game a chance, I haven't played a pokemon game in almost 20 years but I think Arceus is worth it both for newcomers and long fans of the franchise

[@ircha]

This is exactly how addictive it is 😍 😂👍

[@altezzachic]

Great review as always i have just bought the game, cant wait to do the quests etc looks very exciting ;) thankyou

[@aegnir]

Another great review from my favorite switch reviewer! You tackled it all and very detailed! Thanks a lot ircha! 😘♥️🤗

[@shadowinkanto9964]

Like a lot of people are saying, I wasn't going to get this, after feeling let down by Pokémon last few years, but I planned to watch your review first to see what's what, and I'm actually curious. Looking for something new, fun and explorative and this could satisfy that itch. Having my fave starter Cyndaquil there helps too haha. Thanks for the great review 😊

[@coniferous4637]

I like how positive you are! a lot of people who play and review games fixate on the negative too much and don't really consider how fun a game is. Congratulations on the 75k!

[@ircha]

That's because they clickbait negativity to get views!! It's all just ridiculous.

[@Whyyy_Kayy...]

This was my first Pokemon game and I loved it too. Loved the sounds!

[@TroubledTurnip]

I think we all wish the graphics were a little better after seeing games like Fenyix Rising looking so good on the Switch, but honestly the Arceus is such a breath of fresh air for the series that I don't really care that it looks like a 5 year old ID Factory game (which are also excellent despite limited graphics). If we take a step back and look at where Pokemon started and how far it's come I think maybe we can appreciate it a little better. Besides, no one has ever played a Pokemon game for the graphics. This is really the best Pokemon game ever made.

[@ircha]

I agree with you! 👆👍👍👆

This was my favorite Pokemon Legends Arceus review so far. Love your passion for the game.

I've only recently started playing Pokemon in the last few years and must say I'm enjoying the feel of this game already! Thanks for your review! 👋👍😊

[@Openreality]

Good review. This is the best Pokemon game I've played since ORAS. I loved how the world was and how I could find Pokemon easily. It's about as much animals one would actually see in any biome in real life, if not more. And I've played in both docked and handheld modes and didn't really notice much of a substantial difference because I was too busy ENJOYING THE BEST POKEMON GAME EVER. I don't understand why people continue to trash this game. This is by far selling more than any other Pokemon games that isn't two games, which is a first for the series.

[@codecthelios]

I am a 35 year old. I played the first gen then completely stopped playing the games. This is the first game they have made in all that time that has brought me back to it. They really did a great job. Awesome Review!

[@elithegaymer]

I agree 100% with your review! I don't know why some people complain about the graphics. It's the most fun I've had with a Pokemon game since Red and Blue.

[@Datenshi-Beats]

Very nice review. I loved the editing and your white hair! I also gave it a 10/10 as a gameplay person over graphics, because Pokemon was never about that nor story for that matter.

[@PsychoticGengar]

I really agree with the "how can they go back" kind of sentiment. It's so innovative and fresh that honestly I won't be able to play a "regular" Pokémon game again. But yeah amazing review, not that I needed it. 50 hours in 🤗

[@lonnysmith6046]

I agree! I'm enjoying it.and I don't feel the world is empty at all. I even love the graphics.

Dude, awesome. Thanks. I was looking at other reviews and didn’t think the footage was bad at all. Empty? Really? I appreciate your opinion.

[@isaiah1516]

I was worried that this game would be too complex for my wife to enjoy, but thankfully she adjusted and loves catching Pokemon Assassin's Creed style! We play together (one person docked and the other handheld) and take turns with who plays on the tv. I still help her with the boss fights, but she's enjoying catching everything and shiny hunting. So happy this game is a great as it is!

[@ircha]

That sounds like an awesome time 👍❤️

Thanks Ircha. I’ve completed the story in this game, and I agree with your review. I’m going to be interested in any follow-up reviews you have on this game.

I loved it ❤️

[@joshjanes96]

Best Pokemon Game hands down. I have played everything from the Original Red and Blue to all current Gen's and spinoffs (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Snap, and the likes) and this iteration gets everything right. I hear people complain about graphics but none if the Pokemon games have ever been graphically heavy. And there is a way to sort thise pastures easier. There is a select multiple option if you press the Y button in the pasture menu. I didnt realize this until post game even knowing there is a mass delete option. Super helpful when sorting through all the Bidoof

[@ircha]

I know multiselect 👍 just want an auto sort 😂 👍

[@ilianieves9144]

Hi Ircha! This is the first time I’m hooked with a Pokémon game and I like it so much I’m planning on finishing it. I’ve played other Pokémon games in the past and I’ve always quit before the first badge because I found them boring! This games is so different from the others and it’s my kind of game, everything I love from a game is here. I think your review is on point as all your reviews are. I’ve learned a few things I didn’t know like only having to do 10 things to register the Pokémon in the Pokédex. I’m only 4 hours in the game so still in the learning phase, but I this game making it to my favorite games of all times list, and I’ve been gaming for a long long time! Thanks for your great review. Oh your podcast is very fun, you and Tiny Hat are hilarious! Keep up the good work!

I'm 10 hours in PLA and I'm loving it! But right now I'm letting my sister try it to see if she would love the game also.

[@imaguy123]

[@xtranathor8143]

This review is fantastic! I've seen nearly 2 hours worth of reviews and discussions about this game, but your review mentions and shows gameplay that I wasn't aware of! Not sure if the others considered some of this stuff as "spoilers" or not. Great review, thanks Ircha! Can't wait to sit down and play my copy! Edit: regarding graphics, I agree that they look "okay" and that they intentionally compromised, but honestly, they could have probably improved them. Let's not forget that BotW is now 4 years old and looks stunning on the Switch. To be honest, BotW is really the benchmark for acceptable Switch graphics. The game looks good enough, and I'm not disappointed, but it would be nice to see the best game we can get. Edit 2: I think your rating is appropriate: this really is the best Pokémon game we've gotten, and it's ticked so many boxes. I think the game could be improved, so personally I'd give it 10/11. It's nearly everything that I've wanted Pokémon to become for 10 years, but I just want even more (which I think they could have achieved by delaying the launch by a bit).

[@ircha]

When watching other reviews, I also noticed that a lot of gameplay elements were left out 😂👍 thank you for watching 😁 👍 BOTW was unique though ❤️

[@wayne2411]

I love this game. Never played or really had an interest in other Pokémon games, but cannot put this one down!!

Glad you're enjoying the game 😊 I pre-ordered it and have been hooked! Have been playing since Pokemon Blue and I think it was long overdue for the game to get this kind of revamp and it did not disappoint in my opinion. As you said, hopefully there will be future DLCs for this game🤞 It's just so good!

[@CarynPretorius]

SUUUPER KEEN for this game... I was also wary about what people were saying about some low res things but judging from this review, they are absolutely miniscule

[@borisdg]

Graphics are good. I don't understand why people cry so much. BoTW also doesn't have the best looking textures... people just like to b*tch about it... the only thing that can be annoying is the popping, but otherwise artistically looks great.

[@Al-cy9qn]

Agree fully. Nobody talks about how good it actually runs. It rarely drops frames. The load times are so quick as well. Performance aside, this is the first pokemon game where the grind hasn't worn on me. Every other pokemon I've played besides mystery dungeon I drop off after beating the main story. This game keeps me coming back. A+

[@GamingTech-YouTube]

This looks like my first Pokemon game ever. I like the style.

[@miumiu7326]

I’ve watched and read bazillion of reviews about Arceus (mostly negative) but only your perspective made me buy this game. I like collecting “whisps” and map noting 😆 you stated the things other people do not mention at all

Thank you so much! 😁 I appreciate that! I try to be detailed. 😉

I was hesitant on buying this game because I had been pretty disappointed by Shield (although I’ve been a fan since I was a kid). I must say your review makes me want to purchase it 😄 ! I trust your opinion and taste more than other reviewer, we seem to be pretty similar. The graphics are disappointing but if you say the side quests and exploration are fun 👌. That’s it I’m buying it lol.

[@Ivynoir404]

Iam only 9 hours in & is already a great re invention of the formula we are all use to, Would be perfect if it had the follow feature which is my favorite, that being said I hope future releases will stay with this set up (feel like you are actually engaging with the world & and not just going from town to town) and yes! I hope we get lots of expansions, I definitely recommend this even if it’s your first Pokémon game.

[@TsunaKimchi]

I'm a huge fan of pokémon since Red &blue and I've Seen lots of lukewarm reviews on Arceus so I wasnt thinking of buying it.

[@ircha]

Haha 😂 👍 sorry! 😁

[@kratos_pt1121]

I am enjoying this game so so much! Personality, returning to Pokémon after many years of absence (since poke Red and Blue days) has been a wonderful rediscovery. I missed this world and its creatures. This is such a great experience, in fact, I picked up recently Pokémon Go on my phone, so I can say that PL Arceus is responsible for making me a huge fan again. This game is everything that I wanted and it looks gorgeous on switch. I truly recommend it.

[@nickhamilton2649]

Great review! I agree it's a great pokemon game, if not the best. I'd still like to see them add voice acting and better graphics before I could give it 10/10. It's an 8.5 for me right now with about 18 hours into it

[@FS-gl9cg]

after you got to arceus you got nothign more to do

[@Gatefan1565]

I already have over 80 hrs into this game. While there were numerous graphical issues that bugged me, they were not enough to ruin my gameplay and the fun I was having. I was having so much fun catching Pokemon, I ended up at Star Level 6 before every beating Kleavor! I also think all these adults reviewing Pokémon games forget the fact that Pokémon games are first, and foremost, for kids. If adults would look at the game from the perspective of a child, it is beyond fantastic.

[@ircha]

This is so true. ❤️ I completely agree! 👍

[@kittykorn3189]

I agree with 10/10 its one brilliant pokemon game, I dont listen to haters, this game is a breath of fresh air, I've played pokemon since it 1st came out way back in the day, this game has sold 6.5 million copies in 1st week which is brilliant 👏

Im surprised how much im enjoying it you can feel the breath of the wild influence but i wish they went further but first Pokemon game to let you just throw them out whenever you want instant win from me lol

I love it when you say that the world is not empty..not like what others say...i also feel that way...it is not empty...if they play the game as what gamefreak intended it to be...you will not see it as empty or barren...because of all the stuff you do in this game...collecting mons, filling up entries, collecting and maging supplies, doing side quests, and lost and found quests...every step you make there is something..its like people is just looking for any critism..

[@josephnepomuceno972]

Great review!! It's very difficult to get a copy of the game here tho

[@mizmamajoe]

I've never played a Pokemon game, but this one really looks good. Thanks for the review.

[@ashlishockley7608]

Even though I’m obsessed with this game I still love watching your reviews! Nintendo needs to hire you.

Bit weird that older, longtime Pokemon fans are complaining about the graphics. It's like they've forgotten they used to play Pokemon games on the Gameboy/DS.

[@meowJACK]

Exactly, just look at Pokemon Red/Blue 🤣 idk when people became so fixated on graphics, we used to play games that looked like total shit because that was the limitations of the hardware, yet we still had a blast playing them. I don't play video games expecting them to look like some sort of gorgeous high resolution 3D animated fkn Pixar movie, I play games to have fun. The art style is cute and I think people care waaaaay too much about the fkn textures and graphics. Good graphics are nice but they don't make or break a game, and people are being way too harsh on this game. It looks a hell of a lot better than the vast majority of pokemon games. Obviously there are other games that look way better but I don't get why that seems to be such a huge factor for these whiny people

[@oliwiawozniak1866]

In every review I saw people’re complaining about the graphics but when I first played the game I was astonished by them. I didn’t even acknowledged some of the stuff people pointed out cause I was overwhelmed by how big the world is and I would say how beautiful it’s . So far 10h in the game cause I didn’t have time to play but would recommend❤️

[@ircha]

The graphics also look better in person, in handheld, than on video for some reason 😁

[@honeybear4683]

Great video as always, Irene! I've been playing Arceus and I'm loving it so far. As a lot of people are saying, it definitely has that Breath of the Wild, Monster Hunter element in it!😆

[@tazmanceltic]

Great review as always 🔥💪
