Legends Z-A is such a huge upgrade in boss battles compared to Legends Arceus it’s honestly insane. Why were we throwing balms?

Because the combat was otherwise still turn-based and it would've been lame for the main bosses to still work like in the main games. Only the trainer acted in real time during gameplay so we got that awkward middle ground. Still, I think it was a good first attempt. Funny to think there were just 7 of those battles while ZA has over 25.

Those boss fights were just straight up bad, probably one of the weakest parts of the game. The Base game ones in ZA were a bit too easy but I appreciate how improved they were in comparison.

Avalugg was ok as a boss fight, Arceus was the only good one.

This. The real-time combat has so little depth it's astounding. I don't know how they managed to make it more braindead than the turn-based rock-paper-scissors system.

The double Crabominable fight raped me a few times.

Agreed. I liked the game quite a bit but just like ZA it's clear the budget for the legends titles is super low. I know the leaks had us ordering around "armies" of pokemon against rogue dynamax so I hope they're able to integrate it into a higher budgeted title at some point.

I thought that leak was about an upcoming Legends Galar game

Avalugg nearly soloed it, mine took hits like fucking brick wall, then mega aggron finished it.
I can see why some people dislike that fight, I'm probably the only person that has rises n avalugg and kept it around all game just because I love it, makes me wish drednaw was in the game but I have to settle with squakabilly.

I ended up using Sylveon with Reflect but had to heal a lot.

Balm throwing was dumb but I like the fact that you were actively participating in the combat. And ZA combat doesn't feel like an upgrade, its a sidegrade at best.

Yeah but it's from 2021, it's probably cancelled/reworked at this point.
