I played both. I think I'm somewhere in post game on my Switch data.

@Totalanimefan: I'm jealous of your lettuce! I want to grow a few foods, probably like carrots, bell peppers and a lettuce or spinach to start. I'm thinking grow bags so I don't get too overwhelmed lol, plus we have a lot of deer around so I think it will be helpful to be able to move them if I need to!.

I'm studying psychology - what about you?

I've been curious about it! But I don't have the guts to spend that money right now.

@Kent: I'm also playing arceus, and I agree with what you've said. I also really enjoy the crafting system and the fact that you can find most of the materials in the wilderness.
Have you noticed that the pokemon(wild or tame) seem to hit harder? Sometimes it's like I get in a battle and get hit once and my pokemon fainted, often before I get a change to attack.

@Kent: my hubby said it was like monster hunter and pokemon had a baby and this was the result! yeah, i'm the opposite, i love when they look around because then my pokemon doesn't get hit. two kinds of people haha! but yeah, i noticed it quickly. i asked my hubby a couple times if it seemed like the pokemon seem to hit harder or if they were weaker... i think attacks do more damage than we are used to from previous games, but i think it makes sense if you think about it. pokemon are our world's equivalent to animals, and it's like survival of the fittest, so as time progresses the pokemon are going to become more and more resilient. Especially since the setting is the past.
