>>39104508This. Sword and Shield has some potentially great elements, like wild areas, the fact that there are wild pokemon you can't catch allowing more challenging pokemon to spawn without breaking the game by coming out of an early game route with a Golurk, and miniboss sorts of pokemon that show up periodically and can be caught, but there's so many downsides that completely ruin what I had a sliver of hope to be a decent enough game.
>More unbearably bland, predictable story shit, surely with cutscenes every fucking route since Hop is basically just Lillie 2.0>Dogshit graphics>Only a fraction of pokemon available>Raids presumably MUST have four members>Z-moves are back as Dynamaxing except they're probably gonna force you to use DynamaxIt could've been so easy but they just can't make themselves make a good game.
