Who chose Arceus? 🧡

[@totorules7972]

I haven’t played scarlet yet but grinding on arceus made it fun, plus the amount of legendary Pokémon and mythical Pokémon were sick. Especially getting god

The glitches from scarlet/violet and arceus shiny method

[@shadowoflugia]

Legends Arceus was the BEST time I’ve ever had with Pokémon! I want another Legends game so badly, but this time I want it actually open world, keeping the same action RPG elements, and with more stuff to do (more Pokémon in the dex, etc.). I’d also like it to be NOT a time-traveling story. Or at least, with the main character being original to the time period.

[@DarthPooh]

Legends was not that good

[@shadowoflugia]

@@DarthPooh that’s your opinion. I think more people disagree with you. But ofc, it’s also just our own opinion.

[@NiceWeatherThatWeAreHaving]

​@@DarthPoohYou are free to have your own opinion, but I legit didn't touch Scarlet after the first gym. Im still trying to full shiny the pokedex in Arceus to this day.

[@Another-Squished-Adam1]

I say Arceus all the way! For sure! I’ve made two accounts and completed them and I’m still not bored! I would love to see a Legends: Kyureum to see how the Original Dragon split apart. Legends: Mew would also be so cool, as it could take place when all there really were were fossil pokemon, but as you filled out the pokedex, more and more pokemon would appear from all around the regions. You’d be able to catch all 1,000+ Pokemon. Anybody else think that this is such a cool idea?

[@shadowoflugia]

@@Another-Squished-Adam1 one of my favorite Kanto episodes was the Ancient City of Pokemopolis. I’m not sure how much of it is in the gen 1 games though (cause I only watched the show as a kid and never played the games) because I feel like most people say that there’s no history to the Kanto region to make a whole game on it. So that whole episode may not be canon at all. But in any case, if they make a game based on ancient Kanto, I can definitely see all the mons from the first four gens being present too!

[@charlotteblackmore567]

arceus, a good story, best mechanic of actually throwing pokeballs in the pokemons faces

[@Brolys-drip]

I really love chucking my balls in their face. I didn't know this is what I needed in life.

​@@unclientrandom5371Arceus was boring asfff, i just started playing it again after having it for almost a year

[@MardonNaLou]

I pick Legends. Even though I am enjoying Pokémon scarlet, I just feel like there was more fun to have in legends. I played that game so much, even after completing all the task to do in that game just because I found it so cathartic in the manner of catching Pokémon in that game. I still play it to this day, with no sense of boredom. With Scarlet and Violet I’m ready to put it down only a month in.

[@CazDad]

If you play online vs others that’s the most fun part in my opinion when it comes to scarlet and violet feel like after beating it it’s a game really meant for ranked or comp more so and I love PvP that’s why I love it

[@bryse7681]

​@@CazDad yep if only they put online pvp features in arceus. Thats going to be a bomb.

[@declanhiggins1567]

Shiny sounds

[@fazeriftyt609]

I beat scarlet and went right back to shiny hunting in legends arceus! I love it. I pray they make a Legends Kyurem or Legends HO-OH or Celebi.

[@Admirer-]

Legends, best game I've played since HeartGold and SoulSilver

[@Kami_Wa_Yoidesu]

arceus is the only game out of these that I could replay multiple times

[@rentor9230]

I like things from both games. I enjoy how the dex worked in Legends, and it made me spend a lot of hours getting all of the Pokémon. And I loved the shiny hunting. The graphics style in that game I find nicer, too. But I do like the open world of S/V, enjoy the new Pokémon, the story, and how you can choose your path.

[@buddymmx3936]

I actually think s/v as well as legends both have the best improvements to the dex in both the traditional and a uniquely new sense

[@simpgod2170]

The pokemon and character graphics in S/V is actually better than arceus

[@alextbt2605]

My heart is with Arceus, I’m sorry 🙈🧡

[@IHopeUDance20]

That was a really thoughtful summary for only being a minute

[@lunalgaleo1991]

Honestly, I can't decide. I like that they show you when a Pokémon is Shiny in PLA, but I like Scarlet and Violet because it's a mix between traditional Pokémon and PLA.

[@lakerfan2874]

Legends Arceus had you complete the dex while making you guess on how to get the Pokemon you don't have. In Scarlet, it's optional, and you can virtually get every Pokemon without trading besides the exclusives and the other 2 starters. There's more that you can do in Scarlet than in Legends Arceus.

[@nirvanazombie1991]

I mean to be fair you’re supposed to catch them all and scarlet and violet make it harder to do that with a whole $60 price tag addition. The name of the game is “gotta catch em all” lol

[@lakerfan2874]

@@nirvanazombie1991 Have you heard of Pokemon Home and online trading? I actually just completed mine because I wanted to, not because I needed to. I don't have Miraidon, but having someone that you know is a lot better than trying to trade for it. With Legends Arceus, it's more of a simulation type of game, where you can only find Pokemon at night, in the rain, or in overcast and when you have no idea where to look for a Pokemon, you now have KZbin and tutorials, imagine everyone's shock if this kind of game was on the 64 or GameCube with only a huge guidebook. I also completed that Pokedex before Pokemon Home was implemented.

[@herrdehringe]

​​​@@nirvanazombie1991"gotta catch em all" was last used on gen 2 covers because gen 3 didn't even let you catch all of them already lol without the red/blue remakes alot of the previous mons weren't available anymore. in fact gen 3 was one of the most ludicrous generations to get a full dex without buying a bunch of the spin offs or have friends that had them

[@Flvff_Cinna]

Gen 9. It’s really special to me.

[@Klamots]

I personally spent more time in legends arceus doing shiny hunting and trying to complete the Pokédex, but I think scarlet/violet has the upper hand, especially with the dlc coming up

[@Minecraftsmewtwo]

Arceus was amazing

[@starkishathebisha]

Arches got one update that added Massive Mass Outbreaks and some special battles for certain Pokémon but yeah, they could’ve killed Legends for a year and I would’ve gladly gave them my money

[@guyyt6021]

I perfer SV because because of its multiple story paths and the Tera mechanic is awesome and throws battling to another level

[@wigglydiggly8495]

Arceus is fantastic. I love the way they make Pokemon actual threats in the wild. And catching a pokemon without having to start a battle is amazing as well. I also like the crafting system. Violet is cool but im definitely not as involved with it as much as i am with arceus

[@missmrocks]

Both! PLA because the collector part of me squeals when I hear the shiny chime. SV because the battles and Tera raids are fun. I wish they kept the shiny chime for SV.

[@anarchyasher8327]

I have to choose scarlet and violet, never before has the storyline in a Pokémon game made me cry. They just had to add a sick pupper 😭😭

[@5arjunn]

Ikr!!!

[@fatefinger]

I think the plot and storytelling in this game is one of the stronger ones in the franchise. Especially towards the end.

[@Stormbo_the_cat]

Arceus cuz 1. You don’t have to battle Pokémon to catch them 2. You can get ALL Pokémon WITHOUT trading 3. Status effects go away when you exit a battle 4. There’s a shiny sound when a shiny spawns 5. Shines are SO EASY to get

[@taylorbrown5]

Arceus. Even if only for the fact that you don't get to see your legendary Pokemon until the END game! Not right off the bat

[@gadiena3670]

I'm option 3. Both are good and have flaws. Archeus has some good new mechanics and challenges. However for a completionist like myself I get bothered with the extremely grindy (side)quests. Violet and Scarlet have a good feel story wise like the good old pokemon games. However the extreme % amount of status effects and the still enforced walkthrough is a missed chance besides the bugs and graphic issues. So Both. Both is good.

[@blazedj]

I liked Arceus when I was playing it. When it first came out, I was still playing Brilliant Diamond, but I was eager to play Arceus that I gave up on trying to do what I was doing, but that isn’t really saying much. However, after I beat the story in Arceus, I abandoned it because I missed playing Sword and Shield. I replayed that until Scarlet and Violet, and I haven’t stopped since.

[@Loose_cl]

Wow 😂, I’m still on sword and shield, havnt touched arceus or violet. I’m over 120 hours on sword and shield I think lol

[@yngbro]

Arceus by a MILE graphics are way better, travelling is better, story is better, and I just love it

[@kadhackz357]

Legends Arceus 👇

[@hommefataltaemin]

I chose scarlet violet but I adore both games!!! I LOVE so many of the new designs, both for Pokémon and the human characters. Love the open world, the music, the plot, the characters themselves had a lot more life for me than in SwSh. Everything was a step up from SwSh by far. I also got very lucky in only have two or three very small technical issues and that’s it

[@Loose_cl]

Okay so I’m getting back into Pokémon, I’ve put 120 hours into sword, what do I play next, Arceus or Violet 🙃 I’m so torn between both……

[@Random695]

Same i rlly liked shield but i picked arceus i cant wait to play it tommorow

[@Dr_Diaz]

Me too and I think I will go with violet and then acreus

[@landonplayz4380]

Being for real legends arceus made me the shiny hunter I am today. After a long day of middle school, I'd go home, grab my switch and spend like 1-2 hours shiny hunting everyday! Now in just legends arceus I have 3 full boxes of shiny pokemon (and still no shiny charm)

[@MettaKing]

Arceus as a whole was so much better and engaging compared to scarlet and violet in so many aspects

[@KandyCats9]

Arceus. I haven't finished S&V yet so there is bias. Everything in Arceus feels so new and fun. I've had the most fun with Arceus than I've had with other games in awhile. S&V still feels very choppy, while Arceus hasn't had a single bug that disrupted my game. (Arceus Spoilers) I love how you get kicked out and have to be on your own for a bit in Arceus. The catching mechanic genuinely should be apart of all mainstream pokemon games.

[@ilaughyouareacomedian1509]

violet is literally my first game before sword so i gotta choose violet. i also didn't get glitches in my games so it was a good experience

[@Robloxwithstacey]

Storyline and overall design: Legends of Arceus New Pokémon: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet I just don’t like the idea of being attacked my Pokémons, but I still love Arceus. But Pokémon Violet has a special place in my heart.

[@CraZZyCorgi]

I definitely like Arceus more because it's easier to notice shiny pokemon than in Scarlet and Violet. Plus I like the Alpha mechanic and it creates a new challenge of shiny alpha hunting

[@tpfoxCastro]

The SV bug showed is exclusive to emulators :) Also, did you know that both games were made at the same time by two different teams?

[@quazar3640]

Still doesnt change the fact that the game slows to a crawl the moment you enter tagtree thicket or the lake, game has terrible performance

[@zachpohlman321]

I literally just bought Legends Arceus a couple days ago and got really addicted to it that I played it for like 5 hours straight and didn’t even get that far in it either. I just had so much fun catching Pokémon in the very beginning so I literally just ran around in the very first area catching Pokémon. Then I started a new Profile on my Switch just so I could play a separate game with a different male instead and different starter. (Rowlet is my first starter and named him Samurai Jack and Oshawott is my second starter and named him Riptide). I also bought both Scarlet and Violet when they came out and been playing them since. I beat Violet’s story and am now just playing it mainly to farm money for when DLC comes out. Been playing through Scarlet’s story now and just beat Iono and working on my team and also found myself a random shiny Rookidee and got a shiny Kingambit in Violet. No shinies in Legends yet though.

[@fierybird]

If legends arceus had a few more good pokémon, like sableye breloom bisharp and relicanth, I honestly think it would be the best game on the switch (not just in the Pokémon franchise!)

[@BeaudaciousFilms]

I think what goes under appreciated in Arceus is game expression in not just your team, but the hub of the world (Jubilife Village). Getting to create a town with your favorite pokemon running around is something im going to miss if removed from another Pokemon game.

[@rosaryas5900]

I love arceus, but I would have 100% said scarlet/violet if they had released a finished polished game. As it stands now I just can’t rank it above arceus even though there’s amazing potential!

[@TheNeighbor216]

After the few patches S&V have releases has vastly improved the game performance to the point I don't have a lot of issues with it and even frame rates have improved (not saying they're the best but improved none the less)

[@tylersalsbury6572]

I've played every game since TCG and Pokemon yellow, Arceus was literally the best time I've had in the series since heart gold and soul silver..

[@ultimenizer1532]

Personally i'd go with sv because its story was just 100% perfect and the characters were amazing and i did not care 1 bit about the bugs and issues

[@davidheckman3294]

The trailers for scarlet and violet was good but the evolutions for the starters are dudu so I'm gonna go with legends aceus

[@CraftingGummi]

I got really attached to S/V’s characters, more involved in the overall story, and just found it more memorable. However, my Shiny Alpha Luxray does give LA some points… Nah, S/V is my new home.

[@MineStep]

Legit legends arceus with gyms/ elite 4 would be amazing, the catching is the best in arceus.

[@johnbuck4395]

I like both PLA and SV, but the devs could've given us PLA DLC by now...ive heard a pitch for a Celebi-themed story

[@Sol_Apollo12490]

I like them both I love how everything is in arceus then in scarlet and violet when glitches and bugs happen I find the very funny for some reason

[@pokepowerofarceus6658]

Arceus Also, PLA got a update during the Pokemon Present. It’s called the Daybreak update

[@zoeroebuck5835]

Legends arceus hands down, I was devastated we didn’t get DLC and they moved on to the next Gen

[@mary24733]

I really like being able to let out any of your Pokemon and not just your lead Pokemon in Legends Arceus. I also like that you can dodge, move around during a battle, make your own pokeballs and potions, and catch Pokemon without having to battle them in that game. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet I like having easy access to all the Pokemon you've caught and I like the open world aspect of it. If they make another Pokemon game in the future I would like to see all those things combined.

[@austeja3385]

[@lord_shen79]

how does Arceus not getting a dlc make the game less good?

[@RodeoRod123]

Arceus will get the most votes just because it came out 1st and it was something new and exciting to everyone outside of the normal Pokemon games but Without all the bias it’s Scarlet & Violet hands down

[@cheesehead500]

Both are really refreshing!

[@unclientrandom5371]

Refreshing? Violet is exactly the same as the others

[@SukiTheKemonoEditz]

Violet. Is amazing lol

[@LukeSkywalker-zv3xy]

I like pla more just for the way Pokémon spawn as in pla the spawns are tied to specific landmarks and locations. Really making you explore for certain mons whereas in sv Pokémon spawn in broad areas and the only thing that makes a Pokémon rare is their spawn rate deincentivizing exploration and replacing it with running around aimlessly until one spawns

[@buzzinglee]

i agree, the specific locations and the alpha pokémon gimmick is very cool, seeing all the different sizes of pokémon, not to mention shiny hunting is a lot easier in PLA

[@AT-gm4hh]

I agree. I circle a tree or run 10 feet and turn around then pokemon spawn. If I pass one and turn around it disappears. Arceus is better not being that way.

[@ashleyw6728]

They need to add some sort of shiny notification that pissed me off so much

[@isobel...6166]

Even though scarlet and violet has lag I still like it better than Arceus

[@Alexsocrossing]

i not say because i never have played both yet but i think all Pokémon games are amazing there’s no doubt about that ❤

[@TrufanNW]

I would actually rate both games equally. I didn’t have any major glitches in the game. Sometimes the camera would let me see inside the ground in Violet. And both games had some questionable lighting. Both had great stories and gameplay that I really enjoyed.

[@harlemmuse34]

Arceus will always be my favorite Pokémon game nothing compared to the joy of filling pokedex and the catch system and gameplay I hope they make menu more like it

[@Darlingmoth]

Now- who had the better villian? 1: a manipulator who traveled alongside you and helped you throughout your mission. Only to find out he was jealous of what you had, and unleashed one of the Strongest Pokemon to defeat you. Or 2: a dead father who built an AI

♥️💜 try to change my mind

Worse shiny hunting poor performance extreme lag and oh can’t forget bad starters personally I prefer legends

[@hamzawaheed3343]

@@TheSpoonARK Worse shiny hunting? It’s a lot easier but worse, How? I mean if you don’t like it being easy don’t use sandwiches. I know this is a matter of personal preference but I liked the starters this gen (IMO a MASSIVE upgrade from the past 3 gens). And I guess there were a few performance issues (I didn’t get many for some reason but people I know did) but I feel like a competitive and actual online being available at least makes up for that. Anyway this is all my opinion, feel free to disagree

[@Scytherlover900]

Arceus is the best game I’ve ever played and ever since I got it I’m adictited

[@Tank12]

I I'm playing arcues right now and it is pretty good. But haven't played scarlet and violet but just by videos it looks pretty glitchy so Im with arceus

[@hamzawaheed3343]

I would give it a chance. The videos online are often over exaggerated and I feel that the game was actually very good (my second favorite and I’ve played all but 2 of the games in the series).

[@sowsow6677]

I like both in their own way but Arceus had more immersion to it

[@dorothycho2467]

I'm on team Arceus, but both games are great. I really like Let's Go in Scarlet/Violet because it feels so natural, grinding with my girl Skeledirge to get EXP for the next gym. Not to mention, I am convinced now that Team Star has the best music out of all the evil teams, and I thought it was hard to beat Rocket, Plasma and Flare. And can we just talk about how PENNY'S THEME IS LITERALLY HARDSTYLE? The way you can choose your story path is also excellent. I'm actually playing through it right now and did Grusha's gym before most of the gyms because I went straight for the Water titan with my level 70+ legendaries from Galar, took it out with Regirock (YES, A ROCK-TYPE) and just used Climb to get up there. But Legends has a lot of great things about it too. It did legendary Pokémon battles justice. I just wish after riding Miraidon around for quite some time that we could use Dialga/Palkia/Giratina as a mount. I'm also a huge fan of the fact you can catch all the Sinnoh mythics in PLA. Volo is just the coolest villain, and the game's overworld gimmicks are challenging yet fun. It sure is a hard choice but I think Arceus introduced so many new things to the series that I HAVE to give it to Daddy!

[@CastorGaming]

Scarlet and Violet. It’s not even close for me. Legends: Arceus had a fantastic spin on battle mechanics, with the Agile/Strong styles. However, it failed spectacularly when the catching mechanic completely usurps most of the spotlight of battling, when (1) the PokeDex tasks always prioritize catching over battling and (2) making catching mandatory for story progress as you have to complete enough research tasks to rank up, let alone all the required catches for main missions. I’ll take some minor performance issues over intentional bad design any day.

[@jsassa742]

I wish they’d make a story for it then add the Pokémon battles tournaments and of course the bad guys. If they could add those 3 things in a singular game it’d sale like hotcakes. I miss the old Pokémon Colosseum games on game cube

[@johnbuck4395]

We need a Pokémon game like that, or at least an anthology collection of the traditional Pokémon games(not the spinoffs) for younger and newer fans of the games who have missed out on the previous generation titles...especially since Bank got shit-canned

[@coold626stitch]

I like the fact of everyone actually afraid of pokemon cause the dex keeps mentioning how powerful pokemon are and in past games everyone just treats all of it like normal while in arceus you actually have to be careful about catching pokemon

[@juneroughs]

Arceus has a place in my heart and is a really good game. ScarVi has it's issues but i think it's still better than PLA and it offers a lot of new pokemon.

[@TheRaptorCat]

Arceus 100% Catching mechanic is great Finding Shiny Pokemon is easier And traveling via pokemon is better than Miraidon and Koraidon (I mostly mean Braviary flying is just so much better)

[@SlowForest]

Legends Arceus was the shake up this series really needed and the gameplay loop is amazingly addictive. It also made so many quality of life tweaks I never knew I needed and although SV kept some of them... it mostly just ignored it and returned to how it was on the gameboy...

[@shadowslicer3845]

It a simple answer sv allows you to get riolu right after the long ass tutorial la locks riolu behind the last area which requires 5 research stars to access which is an unnecessary tedious grind that makes the game unenjoyable I sincerely hope ZA lets obtain a riolu at the start like sv or gives us a lucario early game like in XY.

[@cyanperez4568]

Legends Arceus, it houses great mechanics and unique Pokémon plus lots of ✨shinies✨

[@Sleviron]

I cant believe people crying over the performance. Had literally no issues or lag whatsoever except bad hacky rendering from a far distance. Its like you got nothing and just desperately try to get a jab in on S/V. But really, S/V needs more of an end game more than just pvp, raids, shiny hunting. It needs to get its difficulty upped a lot! There is no reason for it to be so easy and cheesy. Might be the easiest pokemon game to complete gyms and story etc While legends goes on the right track i dont think its pulled off well at all. Some parts are good but ultimately it just feels empty, boring, linear and not pokemon like. It tries too much to be zelda, like lets go tries to be Po Go

[@zorcoremusic7456]

Yeah literally if you just combined both game series is together it'd be perfect

[@ChristianJosephOfficialYT]

Legends Arceus, Because Scarlett and Violet Changed The Pokemon's Cries sounds.

[@syddieb]

Arceus but Violet/Scarlett’s story is literally engrained in my memory for the rest of my life. Actually cried at the end

[@ZTrigger85]

Arceus is the best Pokemon game we’ve had yet, IMO. All I ever wanted from Pokemon was to capture the fantasy of the anime and Arceus is the only one to even attempt that. Scarlet and Violet, well… the less said about those the better. GameFreak needs Nintendo to send them some serious help. Maybe Monolith Soft could help them figure out open worlds.

[@gemodemplay415]

Legends Arceus, easy pick. It is a phenomenal game.

[@piercemanter9477]

Scarlet and Violet. To me the most successful thing you can accomplish in a game is make characters that people will love and remember. Arven’s storyline is super refreshing for the series since we almost never get to see a mature story, at least not to this degree. While I didn’t feel as emotionally invested in penny’s story, I didn’t mind seeing where the game took her character. But Nimona was without a doubt the greatest change of pace as a rival since at least gen 5. Her character isn’t just “I want to get stronger” it’s already being the strongest and searching for a new rival to go all-out on. The legendary in this game actually feels earned and something they just snuck in the game. Your with it from day one and as you complete the path of legends you get to slowly watch it regain its strength until it returns to its legendary status. Then when you use it in the the fight against koraidon/miraidon it feels triumphant because you’ve been with it so long you feel an emotional attachment. All in all, this Pokémon game really was a step up in terms of memorability.

[@bobbytaraantino]

I played PLA. Finished the pokedex and a day after transition into Violet. PLA's gameplay feels so much better

[@alfa2433]

I choose both Arceus and the SV games because they have elements that I enjoy that makes it difficult to chose either of them exclusively.

[@lilsmurfp.2046]

I dont get why this multi million dollar brand doesnt make a full fledged game with voice actors cutscenes and slightly more realistic graphics (still keeping the cartoonish vibe)

[@oceaneb4295]

I guess I would choose Arceus because I really like the feel of it and can come back to it without problems. Buuuut I like Scarlet/Violet too, specifically I adore area zero and keep a good memory of the story and characters (... I didn't forget them as opposite as Shield/Sword, from those games, I remember the curry cooking, some pokemons and the open areas that I really enjoyed, but I completely forgot the story). For now (I didn't play the additional content yet), I really prefer Arceus because the exploration and the tasks got my heart. I hope a new legends game will get out this year or the next one or in 2, whatever the studio needs to make it work. Anyway, I think we're going in a good direction (at least story wise), I hope the studio will manage to keep on their current inspiration and that they will have more time to develop their games, and hopefully a new console that will support their games better.

[@KamawnTH]

If they combine the fluencisity of Pokemon Arceuses gameplay with the Classic original style of Violet and Scarlet. Make some tweaks with the music and Battle mechanics to introduce something similar to Strong and Agile style or sneaking up and throwing a PokeBall to catch the pokemon directly. I think it would be and if not the closest thing we are going to get a Perfect Pokemon Game. Also voice acting.

[@Bunnelbee3]

Heavily agree! Literally summed up my thoughts on the topic

[@DanielRamos-tq7cz]

For me scarlet/ violet bosses should have better main pokemon instead of constantly ending it with the car revaroom

[@Redacted_User]

If I'm being honest I hate the arceus battle mechanics and how you progress The progression is really slow and the battle mechanics give everyone else extra turns when you survive at 1hp no matter the speed there's still a huge chance you don't go first Plus if your pokemon faints while someone has a double turn they get a triple turn it was so annoying especially on volo because he got multiple turns to easily bulk up and had a Cynthia type team Its like Cynthia but you can't really attack and when you do you still die + all of her pokemon can stat boost and still hit right after + 2 giratinas because he's a sore loser I really hated the pain of fighting him

[@TheMightyKaos]

S/V < Legends Arceus < S/V Dlcs

[@LeafyGlace123]

Scarlet and violet because the online is my favourite

[@paperchasintyy6099]

They need to make a game with the same catching mechanic and open world feel as Arceus while still giving us that classic story of taking down gym leaders to get all the badges. N even throw in a few tournaments that happen around the world in different areas. Also of course we’ll need some bad guys to take down too.

Team I love it but scarlet and violet is a slight winner👇

[@buzzinglee]

i love both games so much but arceus definitely has my heart, its genuinely a very good pokémon game and the shiny/catching mechanics made me fall in love instantly

[@joeybaker6699]

Yeah I agree honestly the only part i don't like is how grindy it is to complete the pokedex im only halfway there and I wanna catch arceus so bad

[@gudboi0241]

Not even close to a competition. Arceus. This is like comparing a juicy steak to mud on which tastes better.

I cannot I don't I can't, but Violet was a really great game. I'm giving it bonus points because I got the DLC with it but legends Arceus. I love like the regional variants like they're just so cool and also I can catch Arceus.
