What Has Pokémon Legends: Arceus Done For Rock Types?

Image
A while back now, I took a look at the rock type pokémon that were brought to the table in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield and it's about time to update this series by looking at what Pokémon Legends: Arceus (PLA) has contributed to the best pokémon type there ever was. Despite PLA only adding a handful of brand new pokémon to the 'dex and a few new regional forms, rock types have been surprisingly well served. PLA brings three new rock type forms and one brand new rock type pokémon to the world and what's more, three of these rock types take quite a prominent role in the story of PLA. What ever did we do to deserve such attention? Without further ado, let's take a look at how these new rock type pokémon shape up.

It's been a hot minute! Once again we continue our journey to save 'em all. We're hoovering up all the unique pokémon in the main series games going all the way back to Pokémon Sapphire . Here's the introduction to the series , clearing out Fire Red ,  Pokémon Colosseum  and 'most recently' Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness . Whenever a new pokémon game comes out these days, there's always an incredibly boring contingent of the community that complains about change. More often than not, such whingers are unhappy about how the game has been made easier or doesn't live up to the standard of [insert that person's first and formative pokémon game]. Having had to spend a lot of time in  Pokémon Sapphire trying to 'ribbon up' a motley crew of special pokémon from in game trades and purified pokémon I can emphatically state that previous games were such. a. slog. It was easy to run out of money. Effort value (EV) training was painstaking and even with ite

OPERATION LAST BUS HOME DIARIES: Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

Image
Once again we continue our journey to save 'em all. We're hoovering up all the unique pokémon in the main series games going all the way back to Pokémon Sapphire. Here's the introduction to the series , clearing out Fire Red and last time Pokémon Colosseum .  Although initially billed as a completely different game to Pokémon Colosseum , Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is essentially Colosseum with a series of, for the most part, improvements and a wealth of extras. In addition to the new story focussed around the game's cover star, a Lugia called XD001, XD featured nearly twice the number of pokémon to snag than Colosseum, filling many of the pokédex gaps across the other third generation games. The game is set five years after Colosseum and edgelord Wes who bombed about the Orre Region in a post apocalyptic metalAF hover bike is replaced by Michael who bombs about in a much less edgy hover-moped. You'll revisit a lot of the locations of Colosseum albeit with new cha
