Pokémon Legends: Arceus has now launched onNintendo Switchand fans have been exploring everything and anything that the new open world-like Pokémon game has to offer. Oddly though, there’s a major feature not disclosed in the tutorial that makes a significant difference to gameplay.
During the opening hours,Pokémon Legends: Arceusruns the player through an extensive tutorial of how the world works and how to catch Pokémon, yet leaves out this vital bit of information. If you do happen to open up the settings menu and discover the feature, you’ll see that “motion sensitivity” is set on zero. Only when moving the sensitivity to anywhere between one to three do the new controls come into action.
The regular method for catching Pokémon has the player locking onto any wild Pokémon with ZL before then pressing the ZR button to throw the Poké Ball. Whether or not the Pokémon is caught heavily depends on the accuracy of your throw, and for a lot of people (myself included), motion controls make it better. It works across Joy-Cons, the Switch Pro Controller as well as handheld mode.
Despite only being on the market for a few days, Pokémon Legends: Arceus has gotten off to a terrific start in terms of sales (viaGamesIndustry.biz), shooting to the number four spot for the biggest Pokémon retail launch of all time in the UK. As a result, numerous retailers have stated that the product is sold out.
