Does anyone else wish they could just be a mindless consumer? I want to be with everyone else enjoying Sword/Shield, but I know that if I buy it, I won't enjoy it, and I'll hate it and myself every second I play it.

Why can't I turn my brain off?

I'll never understand why suddenly people feel like this about SwSh when all the generations after 5 have been the same exact level of mediocrity. Unless you really want to use all 900 Pokémon and/or are salty about your favourite missing, you're completely dumb to suddenly have standards.

nope, you have brainwashed into pretending this is a new level of bad because you already supported all the other entries but every game after BW2 has been as bad as it could be - in fact Gen 6 is even easier and more casualized

The routes are absolute shit. Literally all of them are hallways except for the one with ladders and shit. The only two “caves” (mines) are also absolutely linear. One town literally consists of only a Pokémon center and the gym.
There has literally never been a Pokémon game this barren. The wild area is pretty cool in my opinion, should have made the routes in the same fashion. But as is, this is definitely the worst Pokémon game.

Bad, but not as bad as Dynamaxing. I'd rather do a dumb dance to do an overpowered move one a battle than watch Pokemon inflate for 3 turns.

It's only 60$, maybe 50$ or even 40$ if you buy an used copy.
Give it a chance, give yourself a chance to enjoy it, and if you don't have fun, just stop playing and sell it.

It's just a game OP, you are giving it too much value.

SwSh is much worse than anything we've had before. has worse routes than Sun and Moon and less of them, a shittier gimmick than X and Y, no story, your "rivals" are literally random trainers with no plot significance and a Hau clone, and it shoves exp down your throat so often you have to really try to be underleveled by the time you get to the champion battle, which is the only fight in the game you can't win by spamming your starter's signature move. There's nothing to do post story except raids which are rng based online play that only serves as a waste of time and they even managed to fuck up battle tower. Top that off with a $30 price tag on postgame content and you have the worst experience of any Pokemon game to date that any Pokemon game has managed to provide

Nah, you just forgot you were at the Trainer School after 2 hours of Sun and Moon with barely an gameplay before leaving the first island. The fact that you think XY has better rivals than SwSh and that Hop is an Hau clone really speaks for itself.

Do you do demanding work or are you a NEET? It's mucb easier to turn your brain off and relax a bit if you're spending hours a day doing stressful things you're more likely wanting to relax.

I hate sun and moon with a passion and SwSh is still worse. At least in X and Y the rivals are your friends and not just other trainers that happen to be blocking your entirely linear path to the next gym. Sun and Moon also has ride Pokemon to provide incentive to go back to other areas and find items, SwSh has like 2 routes with water you can ride your clown bike over

It's pretty dumb to think someone's a mindless consoomer just because they like one game.

And you can like something and still find faults in it. I don't understand this black and white thinking.

Explain how random nobodies can be your rivals.
Eevee kid is more of a rival than Marnie and Bede, and almost as relevant to the plot as well.

Maybe you just are different, I wanted to like S/S too but I lack the system and didn't really like what I saw.

I feel wanting to be a mindless consumeristic slave is not something anyone should want. We should try and use this self awareness to do better than the mindless NPCs of our world.

First mainline game I haven't sunken months into, I finished it and just didn't feel the drive to do anything else, I've already grinded out a living dex once, I've got boxes of legit shinies, boxes of legit competitive pokes, now there's half a dex and I still can't be bothered to fill it, there isn't even a GTS, why the fuck would you remove the GTS?

What level of decadence does one have to be on to actively vie for mental retardation on the grounds that it'd be stimulating? People like you deserve to be studied in a lab.

I too understand seeing Pokemon in such a mixed light is frustrating, why can't a series that I had so much investment prior hold up? I myself still play and have fun, but the glaring flaws, shortcuts, and lack of polish do make me worried I'm wasting my time. Just remember, if you ever feel that way that this is a game after all and the only thing that matters is if you're having fun with it. Even if flawed, just relax and play to have fun. If the game isn't fun, why bother? Try different games, you may want to come back at some point.
If you really wanna just give up and consoom, try smoking weed.You won't give a fuck and you'll either enjoy it or drop it for something you would find fun.
