I played about three hours of Legends Arceus and it is now ridiculously clear that Sword and Shield were 60 dollar proofs of concept.

It remains to be seen if the next gen of games will be more like this but I'm not sure I'd want that because Legends Arceus seems to think the catching of Pokemon is the thing that I like about Pokemon but I assure you, catching 20 fucking Buizel to find one that is tall enough for a quest is not what I come to Pokemon for
