But, fundamentally, it hasn’t kept up with the times. Why, with all the money and success Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have made off the back of the series, they aren’t producing a game that looks even remotely close to DokeV is simply baffling. Pokémon Legends: Arceus looking distinctly “meh”. There’s just nothing about it that screams “next-gen”. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, an open-world action RPG, coming in January 2022, is perhaps most in line with what DokeV will be. I’d go as far as to say it looks like one of the most “alive” and vibrant worlds I’ve seen from an open-world gameplay trailer. Whatever your thoughts on its kid-orientated approach, its open-world is incredibly impressive. Credit: Pearl AbyssĭokeV has, without doubt, set a new graphical benchmark for the genre.
However, anyone would struggle to argue that, technically speaking, it has improved in parallel with gaming hardware. Yes, improvements have been made to that trusty Pokémon formula over the years. But it has arguably fallen into the same formulaic rut that has trapped other long standing franchises like Call of Duty and FIFA. They have even described it as “a creature-collecting open world action-adventure”, which is pretty much Pokémon‘s whole schtick.
And developer Pearl Abyss may very well be striving for DokeV to be the next Pokémon. Dive into a gorgeous and lively world where Dokebi and humans live side-by-side!
