Are you more excited to explore Hisui in Legends: Arceus, or modern day Sinnoh in BDSP?
Diamond and Pearl were a big reason I started playing Pokémon again as an adult, but for some reason I didn't find them that memorable. I wasn't as drawn into its story as I was for Pokémon Black. I played Black on an emulator years after I stopped playing Pokémon, and was surprised by how interesting a character N was. Then, I played Diamond and Pearl on an emulator as well, but it wasn't until I bought Pokémon X that I really got back into the series and entered the competitive scene for the first time. I don't remember particularly liking the characters or legendaries in Pokémon D/P, I just remember feeling nostalgic about playing Pokémon again. So, you can probably sense my surprise that most people think it's the best generation.
Maybe it's because I never played Platinum. Maybe it's because I played on an emulator. Or maybe it's because my memory sucks. But I actually started thinking that Gen 4 was my least favourite gen.
But then I remember how playing D/P in 1st year university helped me through a hard time. So maybe I should experience them again, how it's supposed to be.
Yet, something about Legends: Arceus just seems fresher. I think it's cool how they're releasing BDSP and Legend: Arceus around the same time, so you can experience the evolution of Sinnoh. But to be quite honest, before I started looking at rankings of Pokémon Gens, I thought I would skip BDSP.
Legends: Arceus looks like a more realized Wild Area. I personally love the designs of both Wyrdeer and Basculegion, and anticipate more new evolutions, forms, or even new lines altogether. It's cool how wild Pokémon can actually attack trainers, before they send out trained Pokémon to defend themselves.
So are you more excited to explore Hisui or Sinnoh? Do you want to play BDSP and Legends: Arceus in the order they come out? Or do you want do you want to play them in chronological order? Will you play both games or not?
