>>46155885I actually really loved the pokemon designed in SwSh. However, my favorite thing to do in Pokemon games (at least when I was a kid) was having the freedom to just explore and discover new areas by myself.
There are plenty of areas in all of the games up until SwSh that aren't required for you to travel to for the story, but in SwSh, you see literally everything in the main story and aren't given a single opportunity to go off and see things for yourself.
I would be fine with it if the story was more engaging and actually made you want, but it's also incredibly dull. You aren't the main character, Leon is. The entire time you're just watching as he does basically everything that YOU would have been doing in the previous games. It gets to the point where you're just going through the motions until you reach the end. It's miserable
I hate Leon for this reason.
