More recently I wasn't sure how much I vibe with modern Pokemon anymore. While I still have a lot of fun with the games, my attachment relies a bit on nostalgia.

With this game it feels like Gamefreak is finally breaking new ground. In some ways it feels like their attempt to try out new mechanics and I love most of them.
This is the Pokemon I envisioned when I was younger, throwing Pokeballs yourself instead of going down a menu, finding them in the wild, exploration all feel great, but can still be improved upon.

I don't know if they will make more Arceus games but I hope they will transfer some of the new stuff over to the main series to modernize it.

I have a couple issues, but for Gamefreak this is insanely ambitious and it feels like Pokemon has finally entered the modern age even it a bit too late.
