Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ actual villain? Satchel upgrade guy
Depending on how far you are in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you may have different thoughts on who the game’s villain is. Whatever your opinion, let me offer you another suggestion: It’s Bagin, the guy in Galaxy Hall who upgrades your satchel.
The satchel is an important item in PokémonLegends: Areceus, just like in any other game. It holds all the stuff you find in the wild, stuff that can be used to craft items in a pinch when out in the wild, or when you’re amassed a bunch of stuff back home in the village. You want a large bag so you can carry more things.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the satchel starts out particularly small with around 20 slots. I run out of space frequently, and I was initially excited when I found Bagin waiting in Galaxy Hall’s entrance. The first upgrade — which adds one more slot — cost a mere $100. Heck, the price increase to the next upgrade, granting one more slot, was still cheap at $200. Trouble is the price increase doesn’t stop there. As you unlock more slots, the rate at which the price increases goes up, too.

The price increase then jumps to $1,000 each slot, making the next slot cost $4,000; that sort of escalation continues from there. To grab that 37th extra slot you’ll need to spend $1 million, which means you’ll have to spend more than $4 million in-game dollars to get the biggest bag. It’s fitting, considering how big the bag Bagin’s getting from selling you these slots is.
It’s a goddamn ripoff. Bagin saw a market opportunity — he’s apparently an organizational
