My favourite little monsters
I love Arceus because it gives me something to do with the hundreds of pokemon I capture. Getting those little checkmarks on each type of pokemon is fun to do, it means I actually use all the pokemon I catch/evolve rather than get one, throw and evolution stone at it then store it in a box for the rest of its life.

When does the normal E3 stuff happen, mid June? I assume that's when we'll be getting a direct and treehouse whatever.

I think it had good parts, the per-Pokémon achievements were cool, catching and fighting was fun, but the world felt like a boring turd. Also the story sucked and too much was locked behind it. I dreaded finishing an area because it meant I had to read the worst dialog to unlock another.

“The slowpoke got mad when you bashed it with a rock.”

“That must mean..”

!!!

“Slowpoke doesn’t LIKE being bashed with a rock!”

“Please go over there now to report this to another guy!”

I went in hoping for something where I could see a mountain in the distance and want to go explore it to see what Pokémon were there, not have a guy go “I think it’s time you teleported to mount snow-Pokémon! Be careful, there are snow Pokémon there!”

Pokemon is a game for actual children and if you aren't a child and you're playing a Pokemon game then you should expect the game to treat you like a child.

Some Pokémon games are good as an adult though. I played Sapphire for the first time ever last year and had a very good time. Mudkip was my dude.

Arceus was fun but I wasn’t a huge fan of how few trainer battles there were. The new games will probably be better in this area though since they’re mainline entries.

The problem is there's too much of the other extreme, where people are constantly complaining about everything Pokemon and how poo poo the recent games are. There are definitely flaws for sure, and Game Freak does cheap out considering how much money the franchise pulls in, but god drat, there's a reason I don't read the Pokemon thread here, it's just so loving miserable.

This is where I'm at with it. I enjoyed my time with Arceus, but the constant negativity in the thread here is just exhausting. :( I just want to play the cute monster collecting game.

I am hype for Violet and Scarlet, particularly if it takes ideas from Arceus and expands on them!

I got up to 96% in Kirby. I've got all 300 Waddle Dees, 300 pieces of Leon's soul, all of level 1-3 figurines, maxed out stage, all blueprints fully evolved.

I can only really think of the final cup in the colloseum. Seems a lot to be 4% (I know it'll unlock some figurines & movies) but it must be enough unless I've got to meet target times on treasure road or upgrade the weapons fully (which seems like it'd take a few hours of colloseum grinding).

Everything that counts towards completion awards a figurine. For all the non-gacha/random drop figurines, you can highlight the empty slot on the figurine screen and press A to find out how to unlock it. I think you're on the money with your speculation, though.

I never got into the card games but I remember thinking the art in that game was really slick. Hope they put it on the NSO Gameboy service that's definitely getting announced at the E3 Nintendo Direct next week.

So, just as good as other Pokemon stories.

But I understand your gripe about the world being that way. I knew exactly what it was when I started playing it, after hearing complaints about it so it didn't really let me down.

Just let yourself become a worthless person!
Game freak should just give up on modern AAA production values (which they are bad at) and make pixel art games again. Everyone likes pixel art; pixel art indie games sell 8 billion copies in total each day. This is a great idea.

A real hellraiser


Changes I like in Arceus:
Throwing balls at Pokemon in real time without necessarily having to battle them
Streamlined moveset the gives more useful moves early and cuts out a bunch of poo poo like growl that literally nobody ever used
The skybox god drat that's a good skybox how are the graphics so bad but I've of the best skyboxes I've ever seen
Crafting system

Keep those, forget the rest

I'll add to that: ride Pokemon being instant summons, and being able to swap between them quickly and easily.

And the ride Pokemon in general, really. I had a great time just tooling around the countryside on the back of my deer friend "boing boing boing boing boing!"
