Maybe not here so much but I've seen plenty of purists who are livid that the game has cut things from the formula that have been there for decades. Held items, for example, which I can live without, and Individual Values, which thank fuck those are gone because they turn training into an absolute chore. They're also mad that the game has "only" 240 Pokemon, but I'll take 240 Pokemon with good animations and neat personality quirks over 900 cut-and-paste hack jobs.

Pokemon Legends Arceus I agree this is the best Pokemon in years. After Sword/Shield I thought I was done with Pokemon, but I really like how they changed up the formula, and it really refreshed the series. This is the main console title we've been wanting since the Gamecube, and I very much look forward to how they follow it up. That said, even the best Pokemon in years is just solid. There's not really any major criticisms I have per se, but I'm definitely not into it enough to finish out the Pokedex and fight Arceus. It was fun while it lasted, but I rolled credits and that's enough. Grade: B+ Is it? The only negative opinion I've seen is Dan's.
