You must answer honestly: Are Sword and Shield what you expected from a Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch, before you knew anything about them? For me, they mostly are aside from graphics and world design.

Yes, it's basically exactly what I expected. Same shit as usual and anyone who seriously thought they'd shake things up and really push the limits of the Switch are honestly idiots.

To be fair it's not unreasonable to expect a shake up of some kind in the transition from handheld to home console. It just happens that LGPE got the major shake ups instead, for better or worse.

Not excited at all. Haven't touched Pokeshit since X&Y and was hoping the new Switch game could finally bring me back, but it seems that's not happening.

I also don't want to give Nintendo the satisfaction of me paying full price for some a glorified 3DS game. I'll be playing Yo Kai Watch 4 and Digimon Survive on my Switch to spite them.

I expected these games to look way more shitty looking, so they actually surpassed my expectations. That being said, these games still look painfully mediocre and the region being a straight line doesn't help.

Yeah kinda. I was really scared LGPE would affect how the game looks or plays but it seems to be more like SM than LGPE, which is good since gen 7 is my favorite

We can't say it's a straight line until we know the progression. The map itself is narrow but that does not mean straight line.
>>38305115
They had promised since LGPE reveal that the next games were more in line with XY and SM. It looking so similar was actually underwhelming for me though, at least visually speaking. That one cave looked like something straight from XY.

Not much to be honest. I wouldn't mind to see a little bit better graphics, but essentially I don't think the most important problem. The problem IMO are starter designs, they're just awful.

Graphic and world design is all they have shown and they are shit so by your logic the game has already disappointed you as it has disappointed me.

Okay good point, I am disappointed with the game - so far. They could turn that around in the coming months, but I'm skeptical after the last 2 generations.

They didn't decieve me which I suppose is a good thing since I didn't have any sort of expectation to be honest. It's the direction it the games were heading anyway since the cutscenes in XY, a more faithful interpretation of Sugimori's art. I hope they improve the textures in the next games, GF is in the good path now but small details like the flat floor a sawteeth textures mistakes must be dealt with to deserve their place as one of the biggest JRPG franchises.

It's the direction the games were heading anyway since the cutscenes in XY, a faithful interpretation of Sugimori's artstyle like recent Dragon Quest entries to Toriyama. What I really hope is that they improve the lack of content and visual aspects in the next games, GF is in the good path now but small details like the flat floor grass or saw teeth textures are amateur mistakes that must be dealt with to deserve their place as one of the biggest JRPG franchises.

This one baffles me the most. They have all the animations but only used some of them in LGPE for some reason? Waste of effort desu

Agree, have all animation but not use in SunMoon. Have all animation but not use in Sword & Shield. Then why you make this in the 1st place GameFreak?

It goes to show that they can put it in effort when they want to, but just don't usually.

Way worse.
Just don't include Pokerides or that damn lame ass thing with the starters in lgpe, if they have to remove the HMs that's fine but at least bring something more original.

Yes, and not in a good way. First time I'll be skipping the debut games of a generation, unless they can somehow win me over with future content reveals. But knowing GameFreak, I doubt they're going to add anything substantial that elevates this series in a meaningful way. It feels like I've been playing the same game for the past 6 years with the rut that the series has been in ever since it went 3D, and I'm not falling into that trap again.

Probably for 1 of 2 reasons, or both:

1. SWSH was started before LGPE, so it wasn’t ready for the following models yet

2. They would like to leave the following models in LGPE as an incentive to buy them.

I think so, yes. Honestly, I did expect a little bit more from world design, BUT we don't know if the map is a definitive indication of how expansive the world will be. I'm just hoping for less hand-holding, I really did not enjoy all of the cutscenes in SM/USUM. I think a big part of R/B/Y G/S/C's charm was that the world was mostly quiet and you were left up to your own interpretation of events and the order of how things happened. The world was quiet and you could get lost in your thoughts and ideas of what the story would be, rather than have it spoonfed to you. In this more recent format, it becomes less about conquering gyms and capturing Pokemon/becoming the best trainer in the region and more about a story line with those elements thrown in.
Things I'm hoping they show in later directs:
- Following Pokemon, seriously wtf if they don't have this
- Better customization/Outfit options
- Pokemon Bank compatibility (BIG oof if they don't have this...)

The fact that this is even a possibility irks me. I get it's a marketing strategy, but it really says how little they care for their playerbase.

In a way. I really don't expect much from them in the first place.
Hell at this point I expect them to pull a Capcom and make the new game using sprites a la RBY.

But we know barely anything about them, and "leaks" don't count.
That said after SM one shouldn't have any high expectations. I don't have a switch, but if I'll eventually get one I'll likely wait for the third version of this.
