>>37945748For me, it's that it had such a ridiculous amount of potential that was never used.
It could have been fantastic, but there wasn't enough to do. The online was definitely the best we've had in any Pokemon game yet, but that's not enough to make me wanna keep playing after I beat the game.
If it had gotten the Z game it deserved, and they had added new dungeons, more postgame, more megas, and fixed the pacing, it would probably be among my favorites.
btw pls make more megas in Sword and Shield GameFreak
