>>39208086>SM was completely braindead easyWas it? I only played USUM, which is moderately challenging if you don't abuse Z-moves. I suspect this is a large part of why I have a much higher opinion of gen 7 than most of /vp/, because I skipped the unfinished first release.
As for LGPE, I think calling it shit is hyperbole. It's overpriced for sure, but it looks like it'd be fun at $20.
>Sword and Shield is managing to look even worse graphically,But it's not. The stuff that keeps getting spammed on this board is either obvious placeholders (floating rocks, unfinished textures) or things that are absolutely not a problem (Steelix floating like it always has, Wingull flying without flapping its wings like the dex says it does).
>and I don't trust Game Freak to make any sort of enjoyable gameplay experience out of it.Why is that? What we've seen so far looks like, well, pretty much every game in the series, with raids likely to be an interesting source of co-op gameplay for at least the first few months before Home comes out and nobody cares about rare pokemon anymore.
