Pokemon sword and shield is a deeply flawed game but not for the ridiculous reasons you read here. The game is flawed because:
1.The graphics in the wild are bad, pretty obvious they rushed the wild out and so it's pretty ugly.
2.The overall game is still too linear. The wild should be a larger part of the game, both in scope and relevance to the story.
3.The game is still going to be too easy, we all know it.
4.Lack of substantial post game like most first version games.

The national dex on the other hand is NOT important. Removing the national dex will IMPROVE the game. The national dex exists for post game online battles. It wasn't even usable until you beat the game. The biggest cuts were made to legendaries which means a lot of the bullshit cancer is cut from online battles which will actually improve the experience.

The overall graphics are not bad. The routes look fine and towns look great for a switch game.

The exp share being forced is a good thing because it allows them to design the level curve around it. Whether they will do a good job executing that is unlikely.

Having more character focus is a good thing. It makes you feel more like you're part of a living breathing world. FUCK off with your autistic no dialogue shit.
