>>55814844People had been waiting for a core entry console Pokemon game for decades and what we got was more like a 3DS game (but in HD). It never felt next gen. It felt like a stale continuation of XY and SM, very strong sense of "been there, done that".
SV is dogshit but at least it was relatively ambitions by committing to open world.
Shit like pic related was just plain embarrassing. The fact you couldn't freely rotate the camera in a 2022 game was also embarrassing. Except in the Wild Area, which by the way, was clearly unfinished.
If I could sum it up in a word, it was just lackluster.
