Or they've been dying for a different way to play Pokemon than what Nintendo's been selling them for decades.

Yup, it’s pretty fun 👍

Bought it last night, have been playing 15 hours straight and I regret the absence of sleep.

But not enough to quit, I haven't found a dungeon yet.

It's a blast and brings together the best parts of so many games I love.

Not to mention in a more impressive format. I thought Arceus looked graphically barren and I know there are still plenty of people annoyed at the pop-in in Scarlet and Violet. I know it isn't really Nintendo's thing to play into the performance competition but a lot of people just expect better these days and the much bigger scope of Breath of the Wild and impressive level of expansion in Tears of the Kingdom has made even Nintendo fans see that there's better out there.

Arceus: graphically barren but mechanically superior

Was my take.

I'd generally have to agree. When it came out, I definitely recall saying that I'd've grown up a pokemon fan (because Digimon was superior in anime 💪🏻😜) if Arceus had come out back then. That said, there's still plenty of places it could be better. The lack of many of my favourite pokemon was why I ended up quickly dropping it.
