Sword and Shield are bad pokemon games, but as games themselves they aren't bad and even as a pokemon game, an alright starting point for people. You guys just act like a bunch of fags because "oh they cut sooooo many features and pokemon to budget a game to switch because shitty business practices! Wheres my stantler!" like seriously grow up. its a kids game. they dont care about you or your opinions. you either enjoyed SS or you didnt. just because you didnt doesnt mean you have to shit on everything about it. go ahead, call me a manipulated shill. thats just what you call people who dont endlessly shit on a kids game because "muh dex!". Sure SS is definitely not up to standard with other games in the series, but so what? They dont have to try anymore, and you just have to live with that fact. they just dont care about the series anymore. legit SS was just a rehash of SM ideas but done worse. if you wanna try doing shit to get their attention and try making a better game, go ahead. we all hope they actually listen and bother to, but chances are they wont. they will make more and more cash grabs that appeal to the kiddie audience from here on out. You care enough about good pokemon games? play rom hacks or original games, or go make your own. unless you are gonna do more than complain, stop bitching about your kids games.
