Pokémon Arceus, long
Also this gameplay loop just works, they cut all the crud from Pokémon and built it back up with new, fun mechanics. You can tell it's an experiment but they worked around their limitations really well as far as I've seen. Like, the fact that there's only one 'city' works in the lore and instead of reaching new cities you just improve the one you have
re: Pokémon Arceus, long
the only thing I can't get behind is why they're so reluctant to just put all quest markers onto the map
