>>45388081>StoryHoly fuck, I didn't think it could get this bad.
The DLCs are even worse, too...
>Game DesignMain game, terrible. Probably the worst in the franchise. The DLCs improved it a lot, though, with the Crown Tundra having some of the best level design among all the Gens.
>DifficultyWay too easy. By far the easiest games in the franchise, to the point it's hard to even do self-imposed challenges.
>Post GameAfter the DLCs, it's actually not the worst. A bit above average for a Pokemon game.
>Character DesignOof. I know many will disagree with me, but Galar has the worst designed humans in the whole series, including spinoffs.
>Monster DesignDivisive. It's produced a bunch of my new faves, but it's also got some of the worst designs in the franchise (with Eiescue at the bottom)
>GameplayIt's Pokemon. Dynamaxing could have added some variety, but it was overhyped. It's really just more of the same.
In general, after a year, I maintain my opinion. Gen 8 and Gen 6 are tied for the worst in the franchise.
