I like Pokemon Legends Arceus but the novelty is starting to wear off and I'm left asking several questions. Why are abilities and held items gone? Where are the dungeons? If Pokemon Legends Arceus is supposed to be the 'BOTW' of the Pokemon series then it doesn't hold up because Breath of the Wild was far more ambitious and had way more varied side content in general. I like a lot of the features introduced in Pokemon Legends Arceus but it feels like one step was taken forward but several steps were taken backwards. I just can't rack my brain around why Abilities are absent. One of the most important mechanics in the Pokemon franchise.
