Pokémon Legends: Arceus represents a real revolution for the saga and all the individual innovations it presents to the players make it a highly innovative gaming experience. Starting with the exploration, a fundamental part of the adventure, which will take place within large open areasgiving a feeling of maximum freedom of movement within the entire game world, also favored by the exclusive possibility of riding Pokémon plowing through the air, earth and sky.
As well as the capture of monsters wild animals, which will require a first phase of observation useful to learn the behaviors of the creatures, and then sneak up on them and finally launch the Poké Ball. Unlike what happens in the other games in the series, this last step will directly start the fight without interruption, a new game mechanic that is intended to offer Trainers an even more engaging experience.
The whole combat system differs from the traditional one that i are used to Pokéfan: normally, in fact, the fights take place one turn at a time and each Pokémon has one action available per turn. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there are several factors, including for example the statistics of each creature, that determine how many actions each fighter can perform and in what order. Based on these elements, there may be cases where a Pokémon can have several turns in a row and, at the same time, the player can decide how to make the most of the actions at his disposal, whether by unleashing a series of attacks with no holds barred or interspersing them with the cures of strategic allies.
To get the better of it, it will be necessary to alternate between two different styles: the quick technique and the powerful technique. With the first, i Pokémon become faster and attack twice in a row, sacrificing some power, with the second, however, the attacks are more powerful, but you risk having to wait longer before being able to act again.
