>>41905449>All the gimmicks and 'extras' in the game don't offer jack shit compared to having a national dexWhat is raids and G-Max. That's the current gimmick people are falling for because of the IV's and the exclusive G-Max shinies.
>Its not worth losing 500+ pokemon for the sake of having literal who cares contest,Literally bent over nothing at this point.
>battle frontier which i'm pretty sure 90% of boomers played once and then never played frontier again. Those boomers don't care cause there is no reward for it. At least other games give you some amazing item as you progressed. SM tried with giving people access to nostalgia trainers to team up with. Yet GF wont flesh that shit out and just deny its existence like any other gimmick.
>If I had to think of one feature/gimmick I actually used consistently, it would be the flying in ORAS or the underground in platinum.. and neither of those even compare to the months I spent hatching for a shiny venipede that I can't even use,yeah and i can't use my shiny delphox, greninja, etc either. You're not the only starting from scratch when it comes to shinies or has no access to them in SwSh. Doesn't mean those shinies are gone unless you're planning on selling those games and not having a way to store them.
