>>49471204>You aren't the main character.>You're her chauffeur. This was okay when the actual active protagonist was a cute girl, but it set precedence for shit like Hop, who even horns in on your glory at the end of the story.This!
Also SM did worst what SwSh would later do best: Setting up the Pokemon League.
In SwSh it's all about this major sport event that is the Pokemon League. It's well organized. It's hyped. It's structure even makes sense for the first time in Pokemon history.
Meanwhile in SM...
>aw shit why don't we have a league?>I'll just throw one together in a couple of days>oh no, we don't have enough members of elite 4>I'll just phone my golf buddy. She'll do it, but she'll be annoyed to be there>oh no, we don't have a final champion either>I'll just run up the backstairs and be champion myselfWauw, I won you shitty pokemon league. What an accomplishment. Thanks for the homemade diploma written in crayons.
