Make Pokémon Legends: Arceus the blueprint
My biggest hope moving forward is that Pokémon games will use Pokémon Legends: Arceus as the blueprint. Scarlet and Violet may have made the first “true” open-world Pokémon game, but some of the best parts of Legends: Arceus—from its fluid traversal to engaging with Pokémon in real-time like an action game—weren’t replicated in the 2022 RPGs. If open-world is the future of Pokémon, it should marry elements of both games, but Legends: Arceus’ fluid movement and action-oriented approach is easily the better foot forward. It’s worth noting that the games had overlapping development cycles, so hopefully Gen 10 has the time and space to learn lessons from them both
What say you, trainers? What do you hope we see in Pokémon’s next generational leap? Let us know down below.
