BDSP:
>Looks like a low effort mobile game and is $60
>Is a remake of a overrated region
>1:1 remake with Sinnoh regional/national dex only
>Literally no new features
>Music is MIDIs
>Art style makes it literally look like a baby game meant for newcomers (which makes no sense considering the target audience is literal nostalgiafag adults who grew up playing DP)

Universally praised

Legends Arceus:
>Takes the series in a much needed new direction it’s never been in before a la Zelda breath of the wild
>Brand new real time action based gameplay mixed with the old formula everyone loves
>New battle mechanic that works and actually looks fun
>Full control of your trainer which makes it feel like your trainer actually matters for once instead of just your Pokémon
>Game is for a more mature audience
>New regional variants that actually work and make sense for once
>Brought back ride Pokémon, one of the best things about Gen 7
>Lots of interesting lore that ties into DP
>Open world Feudal Japan
>Actual boss battles
>Noticeable Difficulty increase with trainer health
>Solid roster of Pokémon so far with stuff from Sinnoh and new stuff thrown in
>Random, but very interesting set of starters that nicely reflect the Feudal Japan motif with Sinnoh starters also available in the wild
>A game that can be enjoyed by both Kids/Newcomers and Adults
>Finally shows that if Gamefreak thinks outside of the box for once like they used to, they can make some really good shit
>The franchise NEEDS a game like this to keep the older fans around, as Gamefreak has made clear they only care about Newcomers, but if they keep they’re older audience in mind too and make games that can be fully enjoyed by both with no issue, that would mean more profit (and also SWSH was terrible, but I’m not gonna go there)
>A game Pokémon fans have literally wanted, asked,
and begged for YEARS

Universally reviled

I LITERALLY DON’T FUCKING UNDERSTAND
