>>41642596>Why are Pokémon Sword and Shield the worst rated entries in the series?To answer this question we have to first consider what these games are and what was expected of them. They are the first proper mainline titles on a home console. So naturally you would expect some sort of big leap, but the quality isn't that different from what we'd seen on 3DS barring some flashy graphics in areas. On top of this it cuts over half the Pokemon roster, which in itself is a big controversy.
So after everything we have a typical Pokemon game except it somehow how even less features than the 3DS outings despite being $20 ($40 if you include online) more. SWSH aren't the worst games in the world, but they're not great either, and they represent the franchise at it's worst and a bleak future.
