The Pokemon Presents on February 26 delivered a lot of expected news to Pokemon fans. New Pokemon Snap updates were practically guaranteed and the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes had been hyped so much by that point their reveal was almost perfunctory. But one thing Pokemon fans did not expect was the reveal of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, an open-world game in the Pokemon universe. Fans have been requesting a game like this for some time now, and initially it seemed all talk of the game was excitement. But now that the initial high of the reveal has left, fans are voicing their concerns.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is not set in a completely new region like most other new Pokemon games, but rather it takes place in a feudal era of the Sinnoh region as a prequel to the Diamond and Pearl games. The trailer for Pokemon Legends: Arceus that debuted during the presentation depicts a serene environment where Pokemon wander about in rolling plains at their leisure. Trainers are able to explore the wild and see individual creatures moving through the grass, and just like in games before, trainers can battle these with their own Pokemon friends.
Early Sinnoh certainly looks tranquil, but fans are worried that Pokemon Legends: Arceus won’t be able to fully live up to the open-world concept in the trailer. A new Pokemon experience means new challenges for developer Game Freak, and not everyone believes the company can pull it off. Some fans have voiced their concerns about the emptiness of world in the trailer, low frame rates, and unrealistic Pokemon behaviors.
Pokemon fans haven’t always been pleased with the way Game Freak has handled Pokemon games. While Pokemon Sword and Shield introduced the Wild Area, fans have also been critical of the game’s recycling of content from earlier Pokemon games and general lack of innovation.
Others have decided to point out issues with the Nintendo Switch itself, believing the current version of the console can’t hold up to what Pokemon Legends: Arceus may require. Though open-world game Breath of the Wild has been massively successful on the Switch (and Pokemon fans have been quick to compare the two games), some fans feel Pokemon Legends: Arceus should be destined for the Switch Pro.
There are also plenty of fans who are still very excited about Pokemon Legends: Arceus and are optimistic about what the game will have to offer the Pokemon community when it releases in 2022. Like any fan base, Pokemon fans are a divided bunch and the debate over Pokemon Legends: Arceus won’t end anytime soon.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is due out in early 2022 on the Nintendo Switch.
