>>43073395 My favorite part of Pokemon SWSH was that they made the gym challenge feel much more like it did in early days of the anime. It was cool that the rest of the world actually ACKNOWLEDGED that the gym challenge existed, and having an actual tournament at the end like in the anime was something I always wanted as a kid.
But if you mean the puzzles in the gyms themselves, kind of hit or miss with more on the hit side. Highs were the Fire Gym for being unorthodox and the Fairy Gym for bleeding over into the actual gym leader battle, and lows being Gym 4's Plinko and Raihan just making you fight three trainers. Also sucked to find out Gym 4 and 6 are just reskinned for each game, having the gyms "different" across each version just feels like a cop out now.
