Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet were released in the same year, but the gameplay couldn't be more different. While Scarlet/Violet followed the traditional Pokemon formula, Legends: Arceus tried something new. Since both games hit shelves almost a full year apart, some fans were disappointed to see that Scarlet/Violet, which released November 2022, didn't take several QoL changes from Legends: Arceus, released January 2022.
