>>45617956>XY had raidsConcept copied from GO and implemented horribly, repetitive shit, lacking of any kind of strategy.
If you think that's funny it's simply because you haven't played anything but Pokémon.
>OW encountersLGPE did it better and let me tell you this, LGPE implemented it horribly, pokemon popping 2 meters in your face is at the very least ridiculous for a game in 2020.
>changeable IVs, natures, and egg movesirrelevant garbage for the 95% of players that you glorify shamelessly
>40 areas to explore before the first gym with a controllable cameraAll these "areas" fro mthe Wild Area are exactly the same and mostly small.
A massive waste of time, especially considering that you can't even catch most of those Pokémon that pop up in your face and don't interact with the environment until you have enough medals.
>and HD graphicsThe fact that you treat as a plus something that is considered the bare minimum for this generation already speaks for itself.
There is a reason why BOTW, AC and Odyssey have been nominated and have won awards in, for example, VGA, while SWSH has not even been nominated.
The reason is that these 3 games are actually good and have managed to reinvent themselves while SWSH is the opposite, the same old mediocre garbage that only exists as fuel to run the soulless machine that is this franchise.
