Despite how good Pokémon Legends: Arceus is , some folks just can’t stop obsessing over its graphics .Fortunately for them, independent developers are already pumping out mods that make it so they don’t have to deal with the horror of seeing muddy textures, low-res models, or Pokémon that animate at less than 30 frames per second ever again.Advertisement A recent upload by YouTuber PurpleThunderNE showcases how the modding scene is going about improving Pokémon Legends: Arceus , via both visual upgrades and quality-of-life changes.As he notes at the beginning of his video, many of these mods are still in active development and come with their own slew of issues, but the work being done is still very impressive.
Seeing these early mods in action is honestly making me rethink my “ Pokémon Legends: Arceus looks good enough” stance.
Nintendo / PurpleThunderNE ( YouTube ) In addition to higher-quality textures, increased draw distance, a prettier sky, and fancy new water effects, PurpleThunderNE also shows off mods that improve gameplay.These include in-game map markers for Pokémon Legends: Arceus ’ hidden collectibles, more sensible controls, infinite stamina, the ability to swim longer before drowning, increased speed while climbing cliffs with Sneasler, and other cool stuff like that.
There’s even a mod that exchanges your boring, brown bag for a Louis Vuitton design, and another that swaps Dialga and Palkia’s color schemes.
The necessity of both are lost on me but, hey, I’m sure they made a few players very happy.

Of course, only a small subset of players will be able to enjoy these upgrades since modding the game requires a modded Switch console.But for those who can, it looks cool!
