I had the same reaction when Game Freak showed you could start Pok\u00e9mon battles by choosing which team member to toss out towards the target, just like Ash Ketchum would in the anime. Then I found out that gathering and crafting would be a big component of the game, and I was relieved the last few years of mastering a similar loop in Monster Hunter seems like it&#8217;s going to pay off nicely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a whole host of notable changes potentially coming to the Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0series if Legends: Arceus is\u00a0successful.\u00a0So, let&#8217;s talk about the experimental aspects\u00a0packed into the newest Pok\u00e9mon entry and whether they work or don&#8217;t.\u00a0<strong>I&#8217;d like to know what you think is the most influential change or new feature in Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0Legends: Arceus that you&#8217;d like to see in other mainline games moving forward?\u00a0<\/strong>Is it the semi-open world, the seamless battle and catching mechanics?
