>>29889039SM are the worst Pokemon games since Diamond and Pearl. They're the only other games I had to actually drop partway through because playing them was just painful.
It was so slow, so railroaded. Everything is so sterile and the camera is angled so you can't even see where you're going. Loading barriers every ten steps break up the already small world into bite-sized pieces. The cutscenes NEVER STOP, and you never know when you're just gonna walk right into one and the game is going to take control away from you to spout some bullshit about muh Lillie-chan or ebin masalda boy, or give you a fucking tutorial about how to wipe your ass.
Game Freak really dropped the ball on this. They had years to perfect it and they're very used to the hardware by now. They attempted to make the graphics more ambitious but in doing so they diced the game up into tiny pieces and just failed hard. They shoehorned their cringeworthy plot and slacked on the Pokemon in a game where no one cares about story and everyone cares about the Pokemon.
I can barely even call this a Pokemon game anymore. It's like a terrible fangame that they tried to turn into an interactive anime halfway through, and then they added a lol so quirky mascot to keep children entertained.
Looking back, this gen will probably be considered one of the worst. What a shit game.
