It's stronger than the sum of its parts.

Its got a lot of obvious issues, and is missing a major component with proper battling/pvp, but its laid good ground work for a more tactile pokemon experience. It's also max comfy. Jubilife town is somehow nostalgic for me already.

Its underbaked in some areas, but has a strong enough core to be fun for most people in spite of its flaws.

The battle system really doesn't lend itself to pvp.
It's a single player game and the only one they've done differently in over two decades.

You do know the whole point of Pokémon is battling, right? Now fun shit like managing your own business, creating your own league, and sports related content like the pokeathlon would be a refreshing change that the franchise desperately needs but why in the hell would you think that a game with battles but no endgame content whatsoever should be the preferred gameplay?

How is the Battle Frontier mindless? And you seem to forget that you have to use strategy for all the other battle facilities as well. There’s nothing more mindless then wondering around a desolate overworld catching the same shit for hours on end and funniest part about this is that you can’t do damn thing with them

I mean PLA gets all this love and praise for catching shit yet you can do that in every other game. Where’s all that affection for the past games then?

I would've liked it if the trainer had a proper lifebar and also a stamina bar, and both would be upgradable. Allow the player to jump, climb, & swim with stamina but to stop that from being redundant when the ride mons become available with their unlimited stamina, the trainer's able to climb & swim through tight spots that the ride mons are too big to fit in

I found the PLA catching to honestly feel more tedious than fun.

And in all honesty, I didn't really want to do that much catching in PLA. Catching Pokemon I already have that I'm not going to use is not my idea of fun. Everyone says that catching Bidoofs over and over again to progress is an exaggeration, but from my perspective, I already have a living dex, so my motivation to catch more of these same Pokemon is even less.

I enjoyed it. Not perfect by any means, but it was fun. A nice change of pace for the series, it gives you a glimpse into the IP's nearly limitless potential. A game focused almost entirely on the research and catching of Pokemon could totally work, and Legends is the proof of concept. Here's hoping it's something they build on in the future rather than just letting it fade into obscurity. It's disappointing seeing it not get any support but I do like seeing at least one of its mechanics being carried over and built upon in SV. The whole "Let's Go!" thing is definitely based on being able to throw out your Pokemon to collect resources in Legends.

I'm surprised how only diehard pokemon fans hate it when it was literally made for everyone else besides them, especially the ones who dropped pokemon a long time ago for being too samey every game seem to love legends the most. Listening to gaming podcasts over the year normos seem to place legends as the second best game in the year so far (behind the obvious goty arpg) but number one in shock value for being an actually fun pokemon game for once.
Too bad game freak will not be feeding the two fanbases in the future but will probably try to combine them for the disappointment of both.

Not him, but I personally find catching to be the least interesting part about Pokemon. Sure, I obtain all the Pokemon I like, but the idea of just catching Pokemon that I don't personally care about is not my my idea of fun, especially doing it over and over again. To me, people claim its more engaging in PLA and it just feels tedious to me.

I don't think it's given enough credit for how much gameplay variety it really has, making it so that the most efficient way to complete a Pokedex entry is to do an even mix of catching, interacting, and battling was really smart. I'd love to see more games like this in the future.
