Pokemon Legends: Arceus General Discussion

[pitchtheripoff]

I'd buy that if it was a hype trailer, but it's literally just everything we've already seen for the umpteenth time. It's building hype no more effectively now than it would have last week, and at least last week would have given more time to push for preorders.

Honestly I have no clue. I think it was posted just to remind people the game is coming out because there was barely any marketing at all.

The trailers do a terrible job of conveying the game's strong points IMO

Of all the languages to speak you chose ice-cold facts.

Game Informer confirmed every Pokémon in PLA except for the leaked stuff

At least they officially confirmed that the starters will have Hisuian form.

Loving the Japanese trailer tbh. It feels like it sells the mystical side of the game better than the English one (also it feels better structured in general).

 

[Articfoxgamez]

Honestly all the japanese trailers have been better than the english ones for this game and i don't know why.

Not just the trailers, honestly. The website is also more detailed and better structured.

 

[Emmy]

Call me papa smurf cause my balls are so blue after being teased with new final evolutions for the Starters only to not show them in the video.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

Wait, they didn't even show them???
my friend texted me and was like "YOOOO THE HISUIAN STARTERS", so, I mean, I assumed that they were revealed. or he looked at leaks IG

They showed the evolution animation but cut it off so it was just the silhouette and eyes covered by the wind animation.

 

[silurica]

Apparently we also have official art silhouette of the starters' final evo now.

Would've been neat to see fan interpretations of the designs based on the silhouettes but uh, yknow... leaks got in the way of that.

Oh wow even after seeing so much leaked footage in the game that last trailer (the Japanese one, English one did not do a good job) still got me hyped. I think the timing of it was off though, or at least the tease of the new starters. It's not even because the game leaked last week, I just feel like teasing the final stages of the starters maybe a couple of weeks ago would have been better, then having the whole reveal of them today, or not at all. I think it would have had people talking about the game a lot more.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

I've unfortunately been spoiled of Typhlosion and Decidueye's form beforehand, as much as I wanted to avoid them. But regardless, that evolution animation looks epic!

I've been getting that sense too even though I haven't played the game yet.

I feel like my opinion of the game improved when the game (and gameplay/qol changes) started leaking. Up to that point the trailers hadn't really sold me on the game.

I appreciate the effort of trying to keep it secret, but the games have been consistenly datamined 1 week before release since 2014 and they still take the risk? Speculation is less fun when many already know the answer.

The graphics looks neat, specially those at the end of the video.

The general public doesn't really focus on that stuff, which is usually who these ads are made for, and besides judging by a lot of the comments some people decided to avoid leaks to not get spoiled.
