>>51682811I rate SwSh a 6/10.
It's just fine. They really should have treated this game in a much more special way, put way more effort into it. Should have included all the Pokemon and celebrated it as "the last game to include all Pokemon", the cut probably would have been much better recieved that way. Megas and Z-Moves should have been included along with Dynamax. Outside of the wild area and Dynamax, it didn't feel like it did anything that couldn't have been done on the 3DS. They should have also hired a writer that wasn't complete ass, the main story was stupid, Team Yell is fucking annoying, and Eternatus feels out of place like some sort of scrapped Ultra Beast design. The DLC was cool though, trainer customization was better than it had ever been. And judging from BDSP, PLA, and SV, possibly better than it ever will be. It also succeeded in giving us top tier waifus. There was a great variety of Pokemon too, the best you'll ever see in any Pokemon game I assume. It's a fine game. Just kind of disappointing overall.
SwSh is the only part of gen 8 I'm interested in really going over.
PLA felt fun and fresh at first, but kinda barren overall. Also they unnecessarily stretched out the amount of bullshit you have to do to complete the dex. (7/10).
BDSP was hot garbage. They used the excuse of being "faithful" to be lazy and copy paste a game from 2006, but then also made it uglier with its shitty chibi look. ORAS was better than this shit. (3/10)
This gen ranges from meh to infuriating, it set the standards of this franchise to lazy, and it makes the future for it look bleak.
