Real talk, is SWSH the most disliked and forgotten about gen/set of games?

>Team Yell is vastly less popular than Skull or even Star, Rose is easily the worst villain in the series, coming off as more stupid than even goons like Gen 3 Archie and Maxie

You don't even see the super gamefreak shills defending it anymore, because everyone can agree now after PLA and SV that SWSH was hideous and undercooked. I know gen wars are super common around here but even then I almost never see anyone bring up or defend SWSH unless they're just baiting like OP. It really feels like it's the generation where absolutely everything went wrong. I did like PLA though, but I emulated it, so..
