Now, about the video, we are less than two weeks away from the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The expectations for the game have been all over the place – some people excited, some people disappointed, and others trying to balance a bit of both.

It’s undeniable that the game’s proposal of a structurally different Pokemon experience is exciting. Even though the series has evolved a lot during the years, the core formula stayed the same and with the mixed reception of recent games, right now seems like the perfect moment to shake things up. You can check my full thoughts on the game and the Pokemon series as a whole in the video below.

Just like the original games on DS, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl feature an Easter egg that can only be seen today, January 12.

It’s a bit unprecedented to see major Pokemon games release so quickly after each other, but that’s exactly where we are now. Even though Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl launched less than two months ago, we’ll be getting Pokemon Legends: Arceus at the end of January.

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were remakes of DS games. On the other hand, Arceus is a brand new experience from the main Pokemon developer at Game Freak. Many have compared it to a Zelda: Breath of the Wild-like take on Pokemon, though we know it won’t be open world. Still, the game has shown promise and many fans are interested in seeing how the whole thing turns out.

With the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus only a few weeks away, we want to know how you’re feeling about the game thus far. What are your hopes and expectations? Will you be picking it up later this month? Let us know in the comments below.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl have both just been updated, with the two recent Switch games now at version 1.1.3.

The actual patch notes are a bit on the light side. According to Nintendo itself, the only piece of information included about the update states: “Fixed some issues for more pleasant gameplay.” Early player reports indicate that some glitches have been addressed. Keep in mind that no new functionality, features, or any other additions are included.
