Arceus was verrrry meh to me. Despite the physical scale, the world was so empty it felt smaller and more shallow than the original Red/Blue games.
Didn't even bother with ZA because of it.
You’re not missing out if I’m being honest. I enjoyed the shallow stealth mechanics and the unique new pokeballs that you could use in Arceus despite the sub par open world. That’s all gone now in favor of tiny zones where you can catch 5-8 pokemon with nearly no stealth options. Even when you are able to sneak up to one, many are nearly impossible to catch unless you knock them out.
