Not really? Wind Waker is blatantly unfinished but has some charm to make up for it. Sword and Shield are also blatantly unfinished, but the charm isn't quite there, so it's more like Sonic Forces where they're clearly trying despite being dealt a bad hand and it's not very good but it's not a disaster like 06 or Boom. No, BW is a lot harder to pin down. While it tries to do some new things, the core mechanics haven't changed much because Gen 4 was already perfect there. I guess it's more like Super Mario World, which I fucking hate for no good reason despite it being arguably better than SMB3. Maybe that's why people other than me hate BW, because I consider HGSS to B2W2 to be the peak of Pokemon as a franchise personally.
