0:50 Please, thats what Pokemon just wants us all to believe. Breath of the Wild dispilutes that immediately. Breath of Wild ran great and looked leagues above Scarlet and Violet and better than Legends. Using the switch as the reason is a horrible argument. Pokemon just runs horrible because they dont take the time. Overall, I reqlly disagree with you. Scarlet and Violet have more because as you said, theyre main line games so more is exprcted and they still fell flat. The characters were weak and the graphics were atrocious. I had to crawl to get through that game. Meanwhile, I couldnt take my eyes off of Pokemon Legends. I actually caught every pokemon and I loved hoe it actually felt like i was going on an adventure versus in Violet I felt like I was running around a bug sandbox just waitibg for things to happen to me. Its not even a competition hobestly.
With mods and graphics and speed fixed on both reshader texture packs and all .Arceus just seems so much better gameplay wise I love that you can move around while battling and the overall design just seems better ,I dont understand the terralize putting candles on my head I hate it 🤣
Gamefreak is dogshit at open world... the license needs to be given to a more competent developer, going forward... Also... it's first party... NO excuses for the bad performance... Tears of the Kingdom exists on the same console...
Legends Arceus is way better than Scarlet and violet,the reasons are : 1. Graphics, it just sucks in scarlet and violet and its worse than legends arceus. 2. The way you catch Pokemons in scarlet is just like any other Pokemon game like you just walk to the Pokemon ,but in legends Arceus you can either battle and catch Pokemons or you can even catch it by throwing the pokeballs directly. 3. Imo,i think the new Pokemons in the paldea region just sucks and i didn't like it at all. I think that even the Pokemon sword⚔️ and sheild🛡️ is better than scarlet and violet.(Imo)
I would say your still limited in Scarlet Violet, because if you go to far without progressing in the lore, you are going to get your ass kicked by level 50+ Pokémon. Also it would of been a slightly better game if they considered level scaling, I mean its a Open World game and you should be able to start your Gym Battles or Team Star base at any order you want without having to worry about being under leveled. Also Pokémon haves a thing for Ed Sheren music, they should of stick with Post Molone in my opinion and don't say "hE wOuLdN't bE aPpRoPiAtE fOr kIdS gAmE" even though the English Sub/Japanese Dub of Pokémon have some cussing in it mainly "damn" or "hell."
Why even bother comparing them? Like if my left shoe had dogpoop in it and my right shoe has cat urine i'm not gonna sit there and wonder wich foot is better of. I just won't wear these repulsive shoes anymore. Like weither the like the dogpoop scarlet and violet Or prefer legends cat piss It really doesn't matter gamefreak is selling us shovel ware anyways
I stopped playing pokemon by the time X/Y released since I did feel like it's the same old pokemon with upgrades. But it was arceus who got me back in. Can't wait for the new Legends come out
Legends is by far the better game. They have far less glitches and performance issues, then violet. it has more interactive and complex battling system then the traditional battling system. it makes it way more fun to catch Pokémon and makes you want to complete the Pokédex. It has a postgame also. It has just as good of a story, if not better than Pokémon, Scarlet and Violet. If there was just more trainer battles, this wouldn’t even be a question and if there was some sort of battle trees, but the great part about the game is, it doesn’t need to be a fantastic game. Also, having boss battles, were you literally could pass out and you could get hurt not just the Pokémon makes it so much more of a fun game with the boss battles that you fight yourselves, and have to dodge and everything..
Not to mention the catching mechanic in Legends makes sense for that game because it wants you to catch lots of the same Pokemon for the filler tasks. It doesn't work for mainline Pokemon because you'd complete the entire dex with little to no effort.
I honestly wouldn't say Scarlet/Violet 'excel' in the story department.. It's all pretty meh until the storylines converge. It feels like you're just doing 3 different things over and over again, it feels more like a checklist than a story. And I *hate* how mainline Pokémon games suck up to the player nowadays, and the characters are just so flat most of the time. Doing 'that' walk in Legends Arceus felt amazing and I loved the fact that it had some teeth in terms of writing choices, even going so far as to suggest you could actually die out in the wild.. I actually felt on edge exploring and coming across like an Alpha Raichu that started calling down thunderbolts or something. SV feels like an amusement park.. The worst (and coincidentally most annoying) thing that can happen is you bump into a Pokémon because it was barely visible or the collision sucks and start a battle, wasting your time until you run/knock it out. With the 'checkpoint' Pokémon Centers they could have easily kept Pokémon that actually attack you, especially because if your team got taken out, you could still literally flee yourself! I really hope Pokémon evolves. I really, truly do. Violet, DLC and all, really just bored or annoyed me. The only thing I cared for was the first time you go down Area Zero, the game just wasn't fun enough to actually play much otherwise. And I really, really want to say differently. I guess Xenoblade 3 just really spoiled me.
Scarlet is so slow starting out. Then the level of jank is off the charts lol. The new mechanics in Arceus should’ve carried over. The loading screens would’ve been worth a little more stability imo Arceus is the only game I 100% completed for no reason even filled in all the dex entries while scarlet just doesn’t hold my attention the same way even though I had high hopes for it. Just playing through so I can beat my kids at it more than anything 😂
Legend arcaeus is only good at combat mechanics and catching pokemon, but that is all it has to offer. You would spend more time catching pokemons and fighting pokemons in the wild, in the end, you would grow stronger which makes the enemies in the storyline pretty much easy. the story is a bit boring, all you do is go run an errand for the corps and clans. The world is lifeless. It just full of pokemon, there is no other cities or villages that arw full of peoples to interact with and doing their own thing, there are no npcs to duel.
I stomped every one of these and never realized they were OP because type match ups are OP and honestly need to be adjusted. Only time I ever struggled was against May on my way to Mauville in Saphire and up against someone's Milotic.
Coming here a year after, before I played arceus I never bought into the copium, but still bought the game to try they’re new stuff, but it got boring pretty quick, though I regret not playing to its full conclusion, the story for Scarlet and violet was better cause it didn’t rely off Gen 4 nostalgia, but instead probably gave the most popular group of friends for the player since Gary Freakin Oak, like Gary is sweet but battle stalker Nemona has achieved Meme status, Arven is just all around hype, penny is penny and has a fire battle theme and provided a very basic secondary battle plot line, and added in more objectives than just “battle gym/ alola challenge fight elite four” and gave us an amazing after story too tie everything together from the Main and sun plots. Overall coulda used more time but Arceus looked worse in some ways, while being unenjoyable for build up, like don’t get me wrong I wanna shiny hunt Pokémon I probably choose arceus pre violet dlc, but now? Nah man with the Dlc Arceus is doodoo though don’t get me wrong the catching is good in arceus along with the mission board. I would never want it taking precedence over main titles
Legends is way better scarlet violet are upgraded sword and shield with hats instead of super size. Very disappointed on the whole, not even a really comparison.
of course its much better but take into account that the same mechanics wouldnt be possible in scarlet and violet due to the huge size of the game. That's why Legend Arceus has limited movesets and pokemon.
Arceus is way easier but still best especially the fact that we don't have to trade scarlet and violet is rushed which is sad considering how much money we give the gaming industry but still is a decent pokemon game 🇺🇸🤘
Legends ofc, played a few hours and alrdy hook so much on the game. Meanwhile S/V…lets just say i felt it treat me like a kid so much it felt boring asf
I beat Violet 1st, but Legends feels way better in graphics, framerate, and gameplay loop. Hard to believe legends was by the B team while violet was by the A team. Violet not allowing free roam in battle felt like a huge downgrade.
