ITT we fix the sword and shield plot I'll start
>there's a king and queen of galar
>chairman rose's corporation works with them and there's a sort of new technological age similar to the real industrial age
>the king and queen have a daughter who suddenly disappeared
>using this weakness in their favor, chairman rose starts making more moves towards power
>creates a monopoly on dynamax energy, putting a lot of people out of a job and bringing down industry in spikemuth, which creates a lot of poverty
>you move to galar as a kid to find opportunities with your mum and you befriend hop
>leon's a fraud implanted by chairman rose to have a "perfect champion" to use as a marketable figure and all his fights are rigged
>hop is generally a similar character but he actually resents leon for getting all the spotlight and has a bad side to him
>team yell doesn't exist, you fight macro cosmos employees instead
>marnie asks you to help her in an "important mission" after you beat her in a first fight
>marnie is a competent trainer, but she's absolutely terrible with people. she's cold, shy and has really poor social skills, but as she travels with you through certain sections of the game (kinda like lillie) she becomes more confident until she turns into a revolutionary-like figure (hence her getting something similar to team yell, but more like a revolutionary movement against macro cosmos)
>plot twist: marnie is the missing princess, she became so shy because of being sheltered from society and she decided to run away after discovering macro cosmos' plans
>during the league, the fight with leon is a scripted event you're meant to lose
>during the awards ceremony leon can't take it anymore and comes out as a fraud
>the darkest day happens, chairman rose dies from an accident with dynamax energy
>you don't have to catch eternatus, you defeat him and then you can catch him later like necrozma
>post-game is like unova with the league repeating and also the dlc
