>>41131770You philistines just don't understand it, Sword and Shield are the best games in the franchise - a postmodern masterpiece.
Sword symbolizes those who oppose the fact the games are by modernist standards a disaster, failing to build on their predecessors while cutting features and content, and get mad about that. They are on the offense, combative and advancing.
Shield symbolizes those who defend Gamefreak and TPC from the onslaught of the sword, capable of deflecting any blow and continuing as though nothing has happened.
What you are witnessing and failing to appreciate is the greatest addition to the Pokemon metagame since natures.
