I also believe that the Pokedex from Legends: Arceus isn't the first Pokedex. It's just the first one for the Sinnoh region. I'm pretty sure there's NPC's that say people and Pokemon get along better in other regions. Presumably, those regions already have Pokedex's.

We canonically know that Rowan was the one who taught and inspired Oak to create first electronic Pokedex. Rowan himself clearly got inspired by history of his own region, that very likely was passed to him by his Ancestor. The issue is - Hisuian story happens only around 100-200 years before main storyline (it's not the actual Ancient Hisui), as it reflects post-Edo, early Meiji era in Japan. It shows mix of traditional Japanese culture and early influences of the rest of the world, as the isolation era has ended. And the clothing for characters like Laventon can allow us to pinpoint the time period of the world - as he is wearing a 20th century suit. Kamado is very likely Rowan's grandfather or great grandfather.

Also Laventon is officially credited to make first ever PokeDex in the world. And we know that before Oak's genius electronic invention - other trainers has made paper Pokedexes. Even characters like Red and Green canonically worked using paper Pokedexes that were used as the base for Oak's Pokedex (they are the source of the entries - as Lets GO games are the canonical Kanto versions for the Mega-Evolution universe and were the first users of Electronic Pokedexes).

I really like how Rei the male protagonist and Akari the female protagonist have different diologe depending on who you picked to play as. Rei comments on you being a outsider and a misfit when Laventon suggests you join, but Akari asks if he even told the commander about you yet befor suggesting you join

It kinda shows a difference in personalities. Rei is someone to judge someone based their situation and how they present themselves, rather than take a higher up into account. This would imply a slightly more brash approach to things. That’s not a bad thing, most people would be the same. Akari is someone to immediately jump to whether or not a higher up was consulted before considering the person’s situation or how they present themselves. This would imply a more responsible approach to things. Not to say it’s better than being brash, it just depends on the situation and context.

In the Japanese version the pronunciation of Arceus is what you guys (and most people) originally expected. In some other countries it is also pronounced like that. "Arkeus" has been used in English-language stuff for a while tho, I assume to avoid it sounding like "arse".

Old Pokemon: stay away from the grass New Pokemon: oh how has the tables have turned!!

I think the implication now is that Oak created the first digital Pokédex that automatically records information about Pokémon. Because lets be reasonable, of course people would have recorded about and categorized Pokémon in the past, just as they did animals. Also, the game isn't really ancient. It takes place in the Pokémon world's equivalent of the 1870s, as the Galaxy Expedition Team parallels the real-world development commission established by the Meiji government in 1869 to pioneer Hokkaidō's primative frontier. Galaxy Hall is even a replica of the development commissions main office, Hokkaidō Hall, which was built in Sapporo in 1871. The Galarian influence also parallels the Meiji government's initiative to westernize Japan. As for the name change, it also follows after the real world. Hokkaidō was formerly known as Ezochi, and it was during the Meiji Restoration that the name Hokkaidō was coined for the island. So Hisui is the historic name for the region, and the name Sinnoh is chosen later as a result of the games story.

The opening sequence gave me major Pokémon Mystery Dungeon vibes. A shiny swirly screen? A mysterious voice (shortly revealed to be Arceus) talking to you? Choosing a character and then falling into an unfamiliar world?

“Unfamiliar and yet..similar” I’m betting the player character is in fact from modern day Sinnoh considering the character design choices are all similar to it at the start.

Since you're the first LP'er who I've watched play this game with the female protagonist, I'm really surprised to see that the opposite character actually has different dialogue depending on the gender of your protagonist; that is to say, Rei's lines are written a bit differently to his counterpart Akari if you chose a male protag instead. That's pretty cool!

The time period seems to be based on 19th century. That isn't *that* far into the past. The camera looks too modern, but photography had been invented already.

Arceus: You will be sent to a time not your own, so I shall bestow upon thee a gift to aide thee. Bloo: Uh... is this my iPhone? Arceus: It is called the Arc Phone. It has self-installing apps and never needs to be recharged. Bloo: So it's an iGod. Arceus: No, it tis an Arc Phone. Bloo: iGod!! Arceus: *facepalm*

I still hold that the “Pokemon get real small” thing is just some 18th Century crackpot theory. Doctors back then were like “you got ghosts in your blood, have some cocaine”.

If you think about it, Professor Oak made the Pokedex device, but the ones here are just what they used before. It's like the difference between a map and a GPS

"looks like dawn" well makes sense since its set in the past of that same region, making the very first pokedex and seeing as she said she is 15 she would have some exsperience going on adventure which exsplain why she seems to know what she is doing

Oak made a pokedex that automatically records data of pokemon, but back in the day they had to record everything on paper.

I’d like to see more of this. It feels like instead of making a remake of normal quality for gen 4 they instead made some remasters that didn’t really improve on the originals at all and seemed to have very little effort put into it, and a super high quality game they put all their effort into with unique gameplay and fancy graphics

The art design for the Gen 4 remake was completely intentional dude, did you pay any attention to its development? Not only that but the game is a REMAKE dude, a remake of the original doesn’t mean they have to add or change things, even though they did and people ignore that and just bitch and complain anyway. The Demons Souls Remake has absolutely nothing different or added to it other than the graphical upgrade and was a complete success because of it. The Gen 4 remakes are a great remake of the OG and we’re a great success, people are just privileged and spoiled to the point of expecting too much.

I'd say the game's time period is based on the late 1800s or early 1900s in Japan. If I remember correctly, westernization started to appear more readily during that time period, so while you would more commonly see traditional clothing in more rural villages, it wasn't strange to see more western or modern style clothing in larger towns or cities. (Think of Demon Slayer when Tanjiro is in the city and people are wearing more western style clothes. Plus, there are trains. Time seems funky like that.)
