Spoiler Free review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the best Pokémon game since whatever one was your favorite as a kid.
Every aspect of this game is extremely thoughtful and ambitious, including a heavily revamped battle system, a wonderful series of open worlds, reinvented Pokédex cataloging, and interesting action mechanics. Together, these things ensure there’s no downtime once you pass the tutorial.
It’s ambitious and earnest enough that despite some small setbacks in the form of a long tutorial and less-than-perfect draw distance (a huge improvement over Sword and Shield at least), I don't think any less of PL:A. It’s dozens of hours of pure fun.
It’s so much fun that I, a grown man with a job, caught ‘em all over the course of 5 or 6 days. When I wasn’t playing, I was thinking about playing. Every part of Pokémon Legends: Arceus works beautifully, and I fully believe this game will be remembered as a classic.

@Dan_from_Canada If you like Breath of the Wild it might click with you. If you want something more simple/straightforward/quick I think Sword/Shield with DLC, OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire or HeartGold/SoulSilver would take care of you. Also thank you for all the comments! I enjoyed reading them lol.
Anytime keep it up! Love it and you play so much so it’s always something new to see lol. Thanks for the Pokemon reco will keep those in consideration !
