The jokes about Cyndaquil being excluded because of the Typhlosion lore are about to go crazy 😭
Also, feels very weird to have two starters from the same generation

That was underwhelming

So glad to see my boy Totodile again, really hoping for a Kalosian(?) Feraligatr or Mega Feraligatr

I can’t believe that Gamefreak looked at Pokemon Legends, decided to make a sequel, and their first thought was that it should be just another cookie cutter Pokemon game set in the modern era, but with the Pokemon Legends mechanics copied over.

In Arceus, it made sense that you were in the wilds, forests, there aren’t people milling about.
This is Pokemon Paris? On the streets there are like 1-2 people tops in the background. Very bizarre choice when dealing with the Switch’s limitations.
Still gonna play it because Arceus rocked, but late 2025 is rough. You would think, with such an empty window, that they would have put up at least Gen 1 on NSO and get people hyped.

Still waiting on the pokemon that looks like a pizza and mega evolves into a stuffed crust pizza.
tfox245
Graphics look really primitive…my only hope is it will be better optimized for switch 2. At least the new battle mechanics look interesting.
Requiem45
I was really excited for this game and that trailer made me less excited 🥲
Octominou
Meh…

Time to put the mega in meganium

Yeah, I was kinda worried about being in the city all the time not tingling my adventure spirit, and so far I’m not sold on the setting. I enjoyed the big open wilderness of Legends Arceus. We’ll see if they have some bigger wild zones in the game, I guess.
Absol being back with the mega evolution is epic, though.
Also also, two Jotho starters? Weird.

Such a weird looking game, man. Arceus was really fun and promising, and I’m sure this’ll be fun, but a lot of the charm was in the exploration. I feel like its much easier to get sick of the same city for 40 hours than a bunch of different locals. Graphically, it looks better, I guess? But the performance still looked rough in this.
Unless they’re hiding an entire massive part of the game like the Depths in TotK, this is gonna be weird.

Totodile! The most important Pokemon
parolebot
I wonder if Canada will get their own version. Pokemon Legends Zed-Eh.
AnActualSadTaco
Looks … not great!
Here’s hoping the Switch 2 provides some sort of noticeable boost cause that looked rough.
zorbiburst
Damn, Legends Arceus being on such a smaller scale worked so well for Pokemon’s… handicaps. I was hoping this would follow that, but the city already looks like a grander scope to show off all of the devs’ shortcomings.
I have zero faith in their ability to deliver on stronger hardware.

This looks like it’s gonna be cute and fun.

Why even call this Legends? What an insane misnomer, I went in with zero expectations and somehow I was still disappointed
TheJohnny346
One year of waiting for a trailer that looks like what should’ve been shown last year. Literally nothing new being announced for a game releasing this year is a crazy decision.
Schmedly27
The lack of even a single new mega in this trailer has me a bit concerned. But surely we’ll get some new megas and Kalos forms right?
WitnessedTheBatboy
That onix being tiny has me worried they’ve reversed course from Legends showing pokemon at their full size. Back to the main series having your giant kaiju shrunken down to tiny little guys
eldanielfire
Looking Forward to it. I’m sure there’s plenty more to be shown as well.
TheOriginalJewnicorn
No one hates Pokémon more than Pokemon fans lmao
Raptr951
Wow a lot of hate in the comments! I don’t think the game looks that rough? And the new battle mechanics seem really exciting, nice to feel like you’re actually directing your pokemon around
TetrisMultiplier
Disappointed that this doesn’t appear to be like a step up from the franchise. It continues to be stagnant
bullpaw
I feel like they made it all in a city because they don’t have to worry about the landscape/mountains in the distance looking like garbage lol
Roo-90
Battle mechanics update aside, this just looks awful. Can’t wait to play it
japenrox
FUCK! It’s official now, it’s going to look horrendous, and run as bad as it looks.
And I was kinda looking forward to the game… Guess I’ll have to wait for the Switch 2 version
edit: after having watch the whole thing… The UI looks remarkably like a cheap ass mobile knockoff game…
Possible-Emu-2913
Pokemon still being made by a bunch of amateurs. Hopefully Switch 2 makes it look good.
Prince-Lee
I am so excited for this. It looks fun.
Love to see that AZ will get more development too.
--Azazel--
Ngl I really hoped Piplup and Snivy were going to represent here. Like look at these guys, it’s literally right there, how do we not get the Napoleon/Aristocracy vibes.
Granted its too literally and an obvious choice, but damn

“Wild Zones” – a slightly overgrown street
LookLikeUpToMe
The city setting is interesting. Will give the game a chance cause Arceus slapped.

Chikorita!!
Dark-Ganon
Seems kind of stupid of them to not just wait for the Switch 2 to release this.
IntellectualBurger
why does this look so bad like a 1 day-of-development unity asset dump random steam game.
idk. zero polish. terrible graphically

Frame stutters in the first 5 seconds does not bode well
Hurfdurflol
It’s really no wonder they can’t handle competition. The video games are quite frankly the weakest aspect of the IP for like 15 years now.
DuskManeToffee
I thought taking a gap year would give them time to make a better looking and polished game but apparently it’s a developer problem and not a time problem.
Someone please buy out GameFreak’s share of Pokemon.
VegetableBusiness330
I saw 0 technical/visual bugs I now that’s a low bar but that’s where we are lol

Kind of sparse on info considering we waited a year for this trailer.
