Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Complete + Thoughts!

I didn't make a post on when I got the game, but yeah, bought and went and completed it. Caught all of the Pokemon and then also caught Arceus. Getting all 10 stars is a bit too much of a grind though, so I won't do that.

Oh, and I'm just gonna say it here, but...

XENOBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!

I think everyone has already said everything about this game already, but yeah, it is a pretty innovative approach to the Pokemon game. At the same time, it really adds to the lore, even though I don't really like how everyone seems to be an ancestor of everyone.

Also, as far as problems this game has, the other one is that the protagonist (and Ingo) are not returned to their original worlds after everything. Come on, that would totally be an awesome reward for the player after catching all of the Pokemon, but nope, we are just left here to mate with someone and then become the ancestor of... myself...?!

Oh yeah, and for small complaints, you can't sort your Pokemon in your farm, so it is hard to find the Pokemon you want. There is a sort feature, but it really is an extra step you have to take every time you try to find something.

But other than that, great game. Nice graphics, great music, interesting though difficult change to the speed system, lots of exploring, plenty of stuff to do, etc, etc

And what do you know, the day after completing the game, they announced a new game/generation!

Here is my final team. Being slow makes it common to get hit twice or more, but when you fight multiple Pokemon at the same time or in Trainer Battles that do not allow you to immediately switch out, being fast and low-defense also results in lots of KOs, so it is really hard to get the right balance. I tried to mainly focus on Pokemon with good resistances, with Gardevoir having Fairy, Magnezone having Steel, and Gastrodon being a good staller so I can use a bunch of Max Revives on other Pokemon. Garchomp is as solid overall as ever. Frankly, the starter is the weakest here as far as resistance goes, but hey, starter is starter.
