>>58765680Depends on what you’re after, I’d say both are strong on the story and character department
>SV+Paldea is a whole region with a larger dex of 400 in the base game
+if you haven’t played since SM there are a lot of new Pokemon from Gen 8 and 9 to use
+Main campaign is essentially going around doing 18 main challenges for a badge which includes gyms. You technically can do them in any order but the don’t scale
+DLC adds two new areas, over 200 more mons and has its own storyline
-Unfortunately is prob one of the most unpolished Pokemon games. Nothing gamebreaking but there will be slowdowns and lag if you play on Switch 1 and can make things feel sluggish
Gameplay is mainly just your standard turn based
>Z-A+More action based where you can catch and battle Pokemon in real time. Gameplay loop is fresher and tighter if a bit on the grindy side. But you like number go up in games, you’d like it
+A lot more polished than SV and doesn’t have the lag problems
+Story is more linear and focused and there is a sidequest system as well
-Dex is mainly Gen 1-6 so there won’t be much new Pokemon other than Megas
-City only setting leaves a lot to be desired if you enjoy the whole adventure angle of Pokemon. Is more dense than SV which can feel empty
-DLC is more grindy and doesn’t really have new areas besides pocket dimensions. Does add more story and side quests
