If you still want to organize your boxes a bit, I can give you some tips that can make it a little easier for you.
Tips for sorting the pastures in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
This helps with sorting: If you do not want newly caught Pokémon to land in the sorted pastures, you can move the pastures in the overview using the ‘+’ button with Y. The sorted pastures should then be at the very end, while the empty pastures are shifted to the beginning.
In the overview with the ‘+’ button, you can also name the pastures or quickly move Pokémon. If you have selected a Pokémon and then go to the overview of the appropriate pasture, you can just click there to place the pocket monster in the first free position within that pasture.
This also works with multiple Pokémon at once if you press the Y button in a pasture. Then you can launch several pocket monsters into a pasture from the overview.
I have taken the time to sort my Pokémon by their Pokédex number and have moved the corresponding pastures to the back. This way, newly caught Pokémon land in the empty pastures at the front, while my sorted pastures at the back remain untouched.
This way, you can also simply go through the first pastures using the X button and simultaneously release multiple Pokémon – extremely convenient.
However, if you only want to press one button for sorting, as is the case with items, such a feature would definitely be appropriate.
What do you think about Pokémon Legends: Arceus? Did you give the game a chance despite the criticism, and are you having fun? Do you have any more tips and tricks for sorting the pastures? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is already one of the best-selling Pokémon games and is celebrating massive success among fans. However, an important feature is missing for players of the new Switch game – and no, it’s not about the graphics that are always criticized. MeinMMO reveals what it’s about.
What is so different about Pokémon Legends: Arceus? This Pokémon game fundamentally differs from all other pocket monster games. One could even say it resembles the mobile classic Pokémon GO.
You walk as a trainer through various parts of the world that almost border on an open world. They are large, colorful, and there are many little corners to explore where various types of Pokémon await the player.
There are 244 pocket monsters from all previous main series editions (via YouTube). Together with Cyndaquil, Oshawott, or Rowlet as your starter Pokémon, you set out on a journey to complete the Pokédex.
Unlike before, you do not have to defeat gyms, the Pokémon League, or only rarely trainers, but rather simply focus solely on catching or battling Pokémon. Therefore, there is an important feature that players particularly miss in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Players demand a suitable feature for Pokémon Legends: Arceus
What feature is missing for players? Some trainers are asking for the ability to sort the boxes (or in Legends the pastures) where the caught Pokémon are stored. Since everything revolves around catching various Pokémon, it would be practical to sort them accordingly.
There are various sizes, types, and the shiny versions of the pocket monsters that, for most trainers, end up all mixed up in the boxes.
Reddit user strangegoo opened a thread in which he complained about the storage system:
I have 10 pastures full of Pokémon and it’s totally annoying to go through each [pasture] individually to find something specific. I know there’s a search function, but that’s not what I want. Something that can be arranged like the item bag would be a godsend. Hopefully, they can patch that in.
MidasOfNerds agrees: ‘That would be a good idea since you need to catch a Pokémon multiple times.’ In Legends, catching a Pokémon is not as simple as in Pokémon GO or the main games. To truly complete a Dex entry, you sometimes have to catch a Pokémon 40 times – a real grind that happens automatically while you stroll through the world.
Other players are begging and also demanding a way to sort the packed pastures with Pokémon:
- nat: ‘Nintendo, I beg you: Please add a sorting option for boxes in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.’ (via Twitter)
- TheHackHazard: ‘Someone at Game Freak needs to get it together. Who develops an INCREDIBLY AMAZING game like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and doesn’t include an option to sort boxes. Nothing. Manually sorting hundreds of Pokémon is not my friend. I’m a dad… It has to be easier.’ (via Twitter)
- Puking Guile: ‘Sorting my Pokémon boxes in Legends: Arceus sends me into an autistic meltdown. Why the hell do you include ‘auto-sort’ for your inventory with 30–40 items [in the game], but not for your boxes with literally hundreds of Pokémon?!’ (via Twitter)
What does MeinMMO author Lena say about this? I have also spent nearly 100 hours in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and can relate to the criticism. For quick sorting, such a demanded feature would definitely be practical.
