Marin Kitagawa tho…I guess people love her
I've only seen a few clips of the show but the relationship between her and the protagonist looks like wholesome stuff.

Also like Wademan94 Wademan94 already said, her dub voice actress (AmaLee) is really good. Hell, the dub seems to be pretty solid in general.

Tell me, does Legends: Arceus have ANY aspects of the Pokémon League in them? Or is it just “explore and find **** while we tell our bare as bones Pokémon story”?
It's in the past, so no.

Also, the story is one of the better in the series. Not much considering it's Pokemon but one actually exists this time.

But it's all about exploration

So there’s no sort of competitive battling at all? Yeah no. Never mind. No reason to even play it.
The battles are actually pretty hard and the post game gets even harder from what I've heard.

But TBH if you really hate exploration in video games as much as you seem to, just...Don't play it. It's just a silly video game; you don't "have" to play it if you don't want to.

I mean, it's NOT balanced for PVP. So no

Which works in it's favor, because focusing on single player aspects actually makes the game much harder than other Pokemon games (which again isn't saying much, it's Pokemon).

But yeah, you clearly don't seem interested in the game judging by all you previous comments so why do you keep asking this? You're and I both know you're not gonna like jt.

Find a redeeming quality in something
Justify it as the one reason you'll enjoy something even if you dislike 99% of the rest of the package associated
Use said reasoning to buy it



basic psychology really, it happens a lot.

Speaking of Legends Arceus I'm almost done, only need the major sidequest mons with Spiritomb and Unown and legendaries. I'm probably clocking in 70 hours before finishing the final dex entry. Gotta say, it's revitalized my interest in the franchise quitw a bit to the point I may buy gen 9

Unown isn't too bad since there's only 28, but use a guide for Spiritomb

Also, you only need 1 Unown for Arceus

The unown hunt was fun, the Spiritomb one wasnt.

Yeah I'm grabbing a guide for both of them because the Unown are very wellhidden to the point I've walked past them multiple times.


Yeah but then I don't get the Pokedex entry and those are legit great this time around

So kinda topical, but remember when the Wild Area of Sword and Shield were revealed and everyone got hyped because Pokemon was finally going BoTW open world?


Lmao.
I really don’t wanna be the guy who’s like “New good old bad”

But

With Legends out and ScarVio on the way, in hindsight Sw/Sh looks more baffling to me each day.

Like how is this game real?

Then people hyped up PLA for being BotW and Game Freak went "Psyche! That's Monster Hunter, fools! Here's a real BotW" while hiring This Man's cheapskate sibling for more detailed and realistic textures

I actually liked SwSh but um...

It looks much worse in hindsight, pun intended
I adore Galar for being a cool region with a radical dex but lol this game looks stinky doo doo sometimes.

Granted, so did Three Houses, and that game is top 5 Switch games, so graphics aren't everything...But like, they help.

Credit where credit is due, the DLC wild areas were actually really cool.

That was just a taste of fully Open World Pokemon though.
They’ve been slowly inching towards the game I thought we were getting when they said Pokémon would be on the switch in 2017.

I make my jokes, but I’m legit very excited.

so wait, is this like a pop up? Lol

If so, then that technically qualifies a as a "bad ad" on our end. Feel free to fill out a Bad Advertisement form, yada yada, you know the drill, I'm assuming.

Noi, you're always excited about Pokemon
"Man **** dem kids, I don't want 'em."
Legit though, baby mons are the absolute worst thing to catch in the game so I want to make sure my friends won't have as hard of a time as I did with that
