Because people figured that, for all LGPE flaws, Game Freak would make it up to hardcore fans with SwSh. You can guess how that turned out

We were pretty angry, but we were told the next games would be made for long time fans. All of the drones said the next game would be far better.
And here we are, with a worse, more casual game that manages to look even worse than LGPE with an even more barren endgame. It's not just that it's a dogshit game, it's that everyone used this game as a scapegoat for LGPE's bad quality when it turns out this one's even worse.

Likewise I don't get pissed that a game made to bridge the gap between cellphone shitters and longtime veterans exists with a different feature set

I'm not sure. But I'm just surprised when I see people deriding LGPE.

It's very polished and well-made. A lot of love went into the game. I bought it for my daughter and she absolutely adores the game and even I've had fun playing through it.

It was designed as a cutesy, casual nostalgia ride and it executed that perfectly well.

I'm not saying all pokemon games need to skip wild battles but in LGPE I did not miss them. It makes the game effortless to pick up and play.

A console based mainline Pokemon has been the dream for almost 2 decades now and people expected GF to really bring their A game, but no. We get raw mediocrity at best Again. At a higher price point.

Don't let this game trick you into thinking LGPE was good and fine and that /vp/ didn't fucking hate it too though, a polished turd is still a turd.

LGPE was polished for what it was. Sure, it was not what hardcore fans wanted and I for sure didn't buy it and wouldn't touch it, for I believe it was an easy cash grab and how unnecessary it was. But I would be blind to not see how they made the game look charming, if anything I'll give them that.

Unlike SwSh, a game that not only kept expectations high, but also performs worse than LGPE. Awful graphics, too little content, and full of game-breaking bugs.

Performance issues and bugs are objective flaws, nearly anything else in any game is going to boil down to 'things you dislike' if you're going to be a reductive nonce. I don't like the whole 'postgame' being a shitty gimmick, I don't like the fact that they cut an iconic area out of laziness when all they're doing is remaking a 20 year old game anyways, and I don't like how the special move names are juvenile even by a children's series standards. If you have a compelling argument as to why you think fighting Caterpie Masters is a compelling gimmick, by all means explain.

Yeah, I sat down and played it with a cousin of mine who is 6 and also autistic. It was a good time for a kid that probably couldn't have played it on it his own, has never played through Kanto before, and was overall a perfect experience for a younger player and an older one to play together.

But they replaced Safari Zone with GO park and you might not care for it, but being able to transfer over your GO mons and catch them in a full-on rpg is a pretty cool experience for someone who is invested in GO. It's not like they stripped it out and just left it empty like in GSC.
