Pokemon Legends: Arceus General Discussion

Oh yeah, I actually would vote against enormous maps due to the amount of time it takes to get across them (I've played a Shin Megami Tensei where it would literally take three hours to cross the map, and there wasn't even that much in it.) But I still hope that Legends' maps are sufficiently large and populated enough, just to give a real sense of exploration and having room to really race that Wyrdeer around. And while I think that they might have the size nailed down... maybe... hopefully... I am also concerned that there's only the one town on the map. I was hoping that was just an over-simplification and that there would be quite a few more villages around, but the fact that we haven't really seen any has grown more concerning. And we haven't seen much variety beyond that, either.

But man, we've got such a great lineup of regions due to be revisited that it would be a damn shame if we didn't get more Legends games for them. Johto has some rich history that could be explored and expanded on, Unova has the original dragon that we've never seen, Kalos had its war... if they continue to shove the boring traditional remakes off onto another company to focus on Legends games and give us more pokemon world history and worldbuilding, I'd be happy! Exploring the world's history just brings so much more depth to the series.

I do think there might be at least two villages we could find and explore, the ones where the two clans would come from. But I’m not going to bet on it.

Agreed. There’s plenty of lore to explore from the Pokémon past, and I figure/hope that after this first ‘try’ at an open map game, the next Legends game would have more abitated areas.

Fwiw it looks like there’s some kind of settlement in the snow area. Snowpoint Village?

Heh, I’m definitely not thinking the clan settlements are going to be nearly as big as Jubilife, unfortunately.

I think/fear that a number of decision, from plots to gameplay to world building, were made to make the development of a much larger game then before, in terms of world map, ‘easier’.

=/ If that's what we can expect of the two clans' villages, I am quite sad.

Honestly I’m fine with it considering I was starting to think Jubilife would be the only town, even if what we see here is a little barren. But knowing this is in I’d be surprised if there isn’t a Celestic precursor of some kind

Yeeeeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. It's a bit frustrating because we can see them start to head in the right direction in making a really good, ambitious game, but then they make such half-steps that they never quite get there.


...and the more I look at the water for this game, the more I hate it. Game Freak, if you could improve one part of the world before release, could you just... just fix that, please.

I think they are finally beginning to bring Dialga and Palkia into the plot, now that BDSP is out.

I just hope they don't play too big a role in the story, it would suck if Arceus got like, shafted to the sidelines by doing nothing untill the final boss while Dialga and Palkia are the ones who do things in the rest of the game.
 
If the Legends Starters are in the Dex and also need to be filled out, that might suggest that certain criteria also apply to your Pokemon. Which makes things like seeing a Shinx use Bite 25 times a lot easier if you using it counts.
 
I mean it makes sense: it's still a Shinx that is using a move, wheter wild or not, so it would make sense it still counts, and not making it count would only make it unnecesarily hard to complete entries.
 
First bigger conversation I've seen here for a while

Hopefully Arceus plays a big role instead of Dialga/Palkia. Also, I know it might be a little too late, but I'm glad that the Pokémon series now has a combat system kinda like Breath of the Wild

So, do you think we are going to get an English version of that overview trailer? On one hand it would be weird to release the two at different times when the trailers were always same time everywhere. But on the other hand it would be weird for us to just... not get one at all.
Click to expand...
I'm not quite sure if we'll get an English version of that overview trailer specifically, but we will likely see an English overview trailer closer to the release of the game. I looked back for overview trailers for BDSP and an English one was released less than a week before the game came out. I also seem to recall a Japanese overview trailer releasing earlier than that for BDSP, but for some reason my search turned up nothing.

To be fair, you can choose to complete it by seeing it use Bite 25 times, but you don't have to. The example with Shinx shown on the official site clearly shows that.

gameplay_pokedex_3.jpg


We don't know yet, but let's assume that the tasks with red ^ mark gives 2 points for each check mark since it looks like that. That means you can complete it by catching it 15 times, seeing it use Quick Attack 25 times, or combination of some tasks. As long as you get 10 points, the entry is considered as completed. Actually, in theory you can encounter Shinx only once while still be able to complete its entry. Just see it use Quick Attack once (2 points), catch it (2 points), and evolve it (2 points), and you'll already have 6 points. Stalling and waiting for it to use Quick Attack 5 more times (4 points) or Quick Attack 2 more times (2 points) and Bite 3 times (2 points) in the same battle will grant you the sum of 10 points.

Of course this isn't true for all Pokémon. The recent overview trailer shows the tasks for Wurmple. With the same 10 points for completion, this one is much harder to complete in one encounter.

It has:
  • Number caught
  • Number of light-weighted one caught
  • Number caught without being noticed
  • Number defeated
  • Number seen using "Dokubari"
  • Number evolved

Huh really? The yellow horn on the back of the head thing made me sure one would involve seeing both forms. Now i am extra curious what that whole thing is/was about

Yeah, that's curious. Although it could simply just be a miscoloured model. Guess we'll have to wait for the datamine.
