Hey everyone! I don’t know how many of you keep up with leaks, but all new Pokémon and new forms for Legends: Arceus have leaked just today. I’m not linking it here because I think there might some issues sharing what basically is stolen assets, but in case you’ve seen them, what do you think of them?
Personally I’m trying not to form an opinion until we get 2D art, since the models don’t usually do it justice, but I really like the concept behind the new Dialga and Palkia forms.
It’s new forms for Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Idk if you’ve seen trailers and such but it’s basically Sinnoh revisited (not a remake, since it’s set in the past).
It’s not a new generation but Sinnoh region during a historical period. The old name of the Sinnoh region is Hisui.
There are new Hisuian forms and evolutions similar to Galarian and Alolan forms and evolutions.
The game is an action RPG so quite a bit different than the standard mainline games.
Oh man… I have to say I’m not a fan of the majority of these. I hope they grow on me (they usually do) but these are giving me major neo pet / fakemon vibes.
With that being said, given the right Illustrator I could probably appreciate them a lot more. The 2D official art is almost always more endearing than the 3D renders.
To anyone who hasn’t pre-ordered the game and plan on buying it I would recommend buying off Amazon JP (they ship to the USA) as you get the Amazon exclusive outfit and the Japanese Arceus promo card.
After shipping+conversion fees+tax it was $73 so if you don’t care about that stuff it’s $55+tax on the normal Amazon website (well if you live in the US at least).
EDIT: Switch games are region free so don’t worry about not being able to play it.EDIT2: Amazon JP has a cheaper version without the exclusive outfit (but you still get the card) so make sure you choose the right option before buying.
Other stores are doing different pre-orders items too but this one gets a card and an in-game outfit while the other ones are extra physical merchandise (which you may prefer).
Lol. Great comparison there. Ware Garurumon digivolve to… Neo Dialga? (And dialga is barely any different. They just added some armor or something, but srsly.)
Not a huge fan and only a select few I like. …Who did green light Dialga? Being 3D renders of course doesn’t do it as much justice as 2D would but still.
