Morning! Games of 2022 continues with a lovely piece on Arceus
It has been a strong year for Pokémon. Not only has Pokémon Go pulled in more than $430m year-to-date, but the Pokémon World Championships in London was a success by all accounts. On top of that the Pokémon Company released two of the most highly anticipated Pokémon games of all time on Nintendo Switch this year: Pokémon Legends Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.
However, there is one thing that Pokémon fans unanimously love, and for once it’s not even a specific Pokémon. The craftable Pokéball from Legends Arceus – a game set 1000 years in the past – is something that has captured the imaginations of Pokémon players around the world.Do not be deceived by this humble contraption made of a brown apricorn and some roadside Tumblestone, this wooden Pokéball is the prototype for all that followed.
This game, however, makes you catch Pokémon as Arceus intended: you scramble about in the dirt, you craft your own Pokéballs like Beartic Grylls, and then you sneak up on the Pokémon you want to catch. Hunkered down in the ironic safety of the tall grass, you sneak up, you wait and then you throw like your life depends on it, praying you’re not about to feel what Thunder feels like.
Runners up for unanimous love go to the heavily related Electric/Grass type Pokémon Hisuian Voltorb and Hisuian Electrode. The Kantonian forms of these Pokémon have existed for as long as the franchise has, but these historic forms shine a new light on the evolution of this species over the centuries between the age of Hisui and the modern day.
