>>41266034I was sat patiently waiting for one of you brainlets to embarrass yourself by posting something like this but i was admittedly expecting the padded out gen 5 list of shit which ultimately ends up being bland, padded out garbage which leads to a TM reward (sage hunting) or other items (Abyssal crap = nothing more than a place to find plates) but I'll settle for blowing that shit you typed the fuck out in its place.
>Complete Contests Contests are trash. They always have been, they always will be. You're trying to say you can list contests but collecting the curry dex isn't? Fuck outta here, they're both equally as worthless.
>Trick HouseA handful of toddler-tier difficulty puzzles. Incredible.
I'm just gonna go ahead and throw raid battles here in comparison, something far more substatial and longer lasting.
>make a secret base and trade bases with friendsYawn, those bases were bland as shit, I'd rather customize my actual player. Oh wait, you can in Sword and Shield, you can customize your face, hair, clothes and now we get League cards we can both make and collect.
>go to the game corner If I wanted to gamble I'd go play Poker online over some shitty slot machine.
Sword and Shield gives you Gigantamax hunting, something which actually has incentive for you to do.
Next?
>>41266175The game expects you to have some fucking restraint.
Every open world game in existance has that problem.
In fact, games which aren't even open world have it too
>In Dark Souls>Can take the key as your starting item and go get a broken as fuck weapon that you can steamroll through the rest of the game with.Now you have the choice to get OP or not. If you've sat in the wild area and grinded then that's on YOU. You can over grind in every one of the previous games too.
>Dude I sat in Viridian Forest grinding till my Bulbasaur evolved wtf why didn't the gym leader pose any threat?
