Pokemon Legends Arceus seems like a step in the right direction, taking a look at Sinnoh from a new direction as Star Wars did with Rogue One. The similar gameplay loop and continued emphasis on first time players means Pokemon has often done the same thing in a variety of different ways, rather than actively building on concepts or established worlds that came before. Goldenrod from Gen 2 is still its best city, and Gen 8вЂ™s Hulbury whiffed a huge chance to become one of the seriesвЂ™ definitive settings. The Wild Area was a huge step in the right direction, and all signs point to Gen 9 being phenomenal, but Pokemon is behind on its potential. Pokemon is a huge franchise with so many well known and charismatic characters to call upon, so youвЂ™d think such world building would be a cinch 25 years on from its debut, but it still feels a little flat. Niantic is having its best year ever, thanks to explosive sales in Pokemon Go. While no screen has had the same impact on the game, they each seem to understand the world of Pokemon better than Pokemon sometimes understands itself. I donвЂ™t think any loading screen weвЂ™ve had since then has lasted in our collective memories, mostly because each screen either represents an event or the transition between these occasions before moving on to something new, and so they never stick around long enough to become part of Pokemon Go like the attacking Gyarados did. The Gyarados screen is so memorable because it was the first, because we had it for so long, and because it was clean.

Now though, the loading screens have so much more character, and IвЂ™d like to see the main series games learn a thing or two from them. The game has undoubtedly improved since then - even if the Kanto Eeveelutions have not - but there was a special, wonky magic to those early days.

ItвЂ™s not just the Gyarados we remember - itвЂ™s also the server crashes, the three step glitch, and Pikachu actually being rare. ItвЂ™s all supposed to be a warning to not keep our heads buried in our phones - and we remember so well because we all spent those initial months with our heads buried in our phones. We see the minimalist take on a Gyarados rising up over a bridge, while a clueless human stares down at their phone, oblivious. We spent an extraordinary amount of time looking at our phones during the Pokemon Go boom, and for many of us, that first loading screen has helped define the nostalgia of this era.
