SV is interesting to me because, i feel like at times it’s the best pokemon game (story, music) but at other tims it’s the worst (glitches, lag). I personally have it decently high in my rankings, but it’s weird how inconsistent it is lol

Ah, i always forget that legends arceus is technically gen 8. Yeah I liked it a lot too, it’s pretty fresh compared to most of the games

XENOBLADE! love this series, i’ll also recommend it. there’s this video i liked that’s like a fanmade ad for the game, here. pretty sure it’s not too spoilery (or the spoilers are just out of context).

since you already mentioned it though, i’ll recommend earthbound. the entire series is really good, but for play order, i’d recommend earthbound -> mother 3 -> mother 1. (any order is fine, since the games are only loosely connected though). such good jrpgs with an upbeat feel to them.
