Hardcore Gamer: Every month during Pokémon’s 20th anniversary, players have a chance of catching some rare Pokémon. This time around is Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon. It made its debut in Diamond and Pearl with the game’s lore describing it as having shaped the entire world.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
Digital Code?
We have online now, why not just let people download it from their homes.
It's not different just for Arceus they did exactly the same with Darkrai barely a couple of months ago.
Sure they've got an online system they have even used it multiple times for this game my album is nearly full some were done over Wi-Fi some were given away via codes in emails and some in store what's your problem dude...
They have online they should use it...
THEY HAVE multiple times already this year people need to seriously get a grip round here I've just had some guy PM with the sales figures of every Sony/Nintendo machine... I KNOW because I've been gaming for 30 years and have bought each and everyone of those systems you've just listed Sony/Nintendo/Sega/Microsoft, sales don't bother me in the slightest I'm no sheep I buy what I want regardless of if its popular or selling millions, got some serious fanboys round here and people who just like a moan, I'm guessing you don't even play Pokemon Foxtrot so why such concern for it get on with what your playing.
It's called mixing it up one months it's a code via store then it's emailed to you then you can download direct from wi-fi.
Losing the will to live with this website these days.
I wish they did more stuff like this in the UK :'(
