Sword and Shield guidebook is supposed to be 352 pages so just like it was for Sun and Moon...

No relevance. The Dex in those guides is usually all printed across 1 or 2 pages, they don't take a lot of room. It just means the game has about the same lenght as S/M

All of the guides have lenght based on how much content the games have. They don't do "pre-determined page number that the writer has to meet".

350 pages = smallest page count a guide has had. Ever. Even XY guide was bigger.

The strategy guides themselves have been shit since Platinum's absolute behemoth of a book.

inb4 "that's because Platinum was peak lol"

I'm not defending SwSh or whatever. I'm just saying that the strategy guides are shit, especially ever since they decided to rip people off by splitting the walkthrough and the Pokédex into two separate books.

I still have my 800+ page Prima guide for Platinum, it was glorious. I also have the NP guides for Emerald, DP, and the the DP National Pokédex, as well as the Prima guides for HGSS, HGSS post-game/National Pokédex, and BW (hardcover). I remember the BW guide accidentally naming Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect in their index. But Gen IV was the peak time for guides. The separate National Pokédex guides weren't just for the National Pokédex, they were for the huge post-games.

HGSS, BW, BW2 and USUM strategy books all had significantly more pages than SM, XY and now the fucking blunder of SwoShi.

They "do" mean shit because their lenght is clearly based on how much content the game.

Thatis because the HGSS Guidebook did not cover post-game, you had to buy the NatDex version to get post-game coverage. Same for BW. No such "natdex" edition existed for any of the 3DS games and the post-game was already covered in their guides.

It's a good story. They are good characters. But the game implemented them terribly. It's a shame when you look at concept art and game programmers and director couldn't even make justice about maps or routes.

Probably because HGSS had to cover Kanto shit too, and when that guide sold well, they decided to try and pull that trick on the BW and BW2 guides too, but failed, so they stopped doing it in 3DS.

You're lying. There is no Natdex book for XY and SM but there ARE "expanded guides with more pages" for both of them, because the default books only covered the main game and ignored post-game.

All this tells us is that Sword Shield's main game will be about the same lenght that the 5 last regions all had, because honestly, we haven't had a truly long game since HGSS/GSC.

If you count the main game finishing when you enter the Hall of Fame then HGSS/GSC is literally the shortest game in the series. Kanto in the postgame helps but still doesn’t add that much hours of playtime due to how barebones it is.
