>>52325335Performance is bad, but SV is the funnest game they've made since Mystery Dungeon.
The story of SV sucks complete donkey dick, until the last stretch in Area Zero, where it's actually really good. Also honorable mention, Arven's story was good. Good character, good arc, simple and compelling character motivation, sadly with no formal ending yet since we're doing DLCs.
For trainer designs, SwSh has Marnie, the Poison lady and that is it. Even Marnie gets almost completely fucked over by the shitty holocaust pajamas that everyone has to wear to compete in tournaments.
For Pokemon designs I'd say they're on the same level. A plethora of CalArts shitmons and horrible fuckery like that psychic ostrich designed purely to make plushies out of, with a handful of actually cool ones carrying the gen.
Remember: performance issues can be smoothed out, but design issues will stay bad forever. Not acceptable for a game of this caliber, with this much money behind it to ship like this, but that's what you get with a release schedule this fast.
SwSh wild area was UNPLAYABLE on launch. I vividly remember not being able to masuda in the wild area due to bad performance. Today, it's not perfectly smooth but it's more than playable. It's ok.
