  • I am 40 years old, never played any of this franchise, I got Arceus because of this video and now I am hooked. I have even been playing Violet.
  • Honestly this guy spoke facts the whole episode. I was just at GameStop returning a game that I got for Christmas to switch it out for a new Pokémon game and I first told the worker legends arceus. Once he grabbed it and scanned it my gut changed and I went with sword. I don’t hate it I like the art style a lot. But the second this man said “with shield and sword, you will regret it a little” it really sunk into me 😂 keep making these great videos

    definitely going to go with Arceus, it’ll be my first pokémon game i’ve ever played on console :) thank you for this simple and honest review
  • Thanks for the rundown. Getting a Switch soon, was very helpful!
  • Thank you: I was a bit lost with all those Pokemon games out there. Now, I know which one I'll have to purchase.
  • Thanks for making your video short and sweet. Buying a switch for my husband since he still plays Pokémon with his Nintendo 😂 want to make sure I get the right game for him and this helped a lot!
  • @shaoford
    THANK YOU!!! Straight forward + well explained
  • @Kegnier
    Loved let's go pikachu now I'm on legends arceus and yea this is the game I waited for since I started my journey ages ago. Giant maps full of pokemon, quests and epic battles with attacks that really blow my mind. It's awesome, like a dream come true. 😊
  • Hey Eli, I used your video to decide on Let’s Go: Eevee and I am very happy with my choice! I can’t know until I try the others how they compare, but I have played Arceus and agreed with your review. Thanks for taking the time to do this, I’ll share with friends when they ask the same question.
  • This is very useful info for Christmas shopping. Thanks and all the best!
  • @ashenone5774
    thank you. I am totally new to nintendo and couldn't decide on which game should be my first Pokemon game ever, but this helped!
  • Thank you I was really trying to decide which one to get because he’s games are so expensive! So I was trying to figure out which one to get first to see if I like them compared to the originals you really helped me out. Thank you so much!
  • @shellywashere
    thank you for this video! i am painfully new to Pokemon, i recognize some of the main Pokemon and that's about it. i've been trying and trying to figure out which game to start with and not having a lot of luck, but i actually tried the demo for Let's Go Eevee today and thought that seemed good. based on what you discussed here, that's where i'm going to start! :)

    😂❤🎉Thxs Comandurr for the link here I liked and subscribed
  • Sword feels like a husk of a pokemon game. No encounter is special if you can go to a wild zone and catch half the pokedex
  • @krysxmoon
    Nice review. I couldnt decide with to play. This helped!!

    Just started playing pokemon legends arceus, it's everything I wanted the original pokemon to be! There's a more natural bond between you and your pokemon as you fight in the wild and interact with the environment. They did a good job making the player feel immersed between crafting system, fluid combat and strategy (ability to change moves at a whim), incentive to complete the pokedex and making it a fun challenge. Even the pokemon attacks seem more impactful like they actually hit your opponents. I haven't felt the same level of excitement since pokemon yellow first came out on gameboy color. All the other games in the franchise stuck to the old original formula for combat that felt slow, clunky, and made filling the pokedex a chore. As more pokemon are added with each generation, there needs to be a streamlined approach to "catching them all", and legends does that perfectly. I hope they make more games similar to legends just with better graphics and gym leaders to battle.

    Pokémon sword and shield was my first Pokémon game in general as a whole. It was okay but it felt too small a game, I beat the story in like a day. Arceus legend on the other hand, which was my second Pokémon game, took more or less a week binging it while doing other side quests etc. It’s hands down a monster of a Pokémon game and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into Pokémon games
