Why would anyone, let alone millions of people buy this shit? Every single aspect of these games is trash. Gameplay, game design decisions, graphics, content (or lack thereof), story... It's simply irredeemable. You seriously have to be severely brain dead to even consider playing it.

Yeah. Remove Pokemon from the label, and this game would make negative sales profits.

Think half-assed shovelware on the Wii, but people defend it.
Think Paper Mario: Color Splash, but it actually sold well.
Think Luigi Mansion 3, except the devs went against every feedback instead of listening.
Think a shitty fangame, except it's official.
Think an epic RPG with mystery and intrigue, except and NPC plays the main quest while you do mundane tasks.
Think arrogance and incompetence compressed into a ROM file.

That is Sword and Shield.

Avery, Gordie, Allister, and Hop are my least favorite pokemon trainers. I should have been able to get all the johto and kanto legendaries day one. I do like the Zamazenta I caught.

Seriously, the game was average. It surely could have been better, but it isn't this "irredeemable garbage" that you all make it out to be

Pretty alright. The hate is over-exaggerated and retarded. They're not bad but they're not the best. They're ok. Still better than gen 5 and majority of gen 4.

Yeah Gen 5 is black and white one are pretty shit. It has all the complaints from modern pokemon games plus no good designed pokemon or interesting characters. It's just plot battles/cutscenes every 5 minutes without anything interesting.

The backlash, especially dexxit/bringbacknationaldex is retarded as they are complaining about something that's present in every console upgrade gen. Gen 3 had only some returning mons so the remakes filled in the rest. Same with gen 4 (upgrade to ds) and gen 6 (upgrade to 3ds). They always have some mons returning in the first game and then the rest in the remakes. The only difference is that they weren't coded into the gen 8 sword and shield games. The fact that they weren't coded still makes sense in context because when released, there would be no way to actually transfer the missing mons from older gens. So bascially, people are complaining about an unnecessary feature that they wouldn't have been able to access for months anyway.
Also, people acting like the dlc is a scam are retarded. If you don't want to buy it, they made all the added pokemon accessible anyway and can be traded from past games. Imagine fixes a complaint an getting complained at for fixing the complaint.

These games are absolutely not better than any game in gen 4 or gen 5.
The story, region and just general progression is worse. The only gen it could be considered better than is gen 7 but even then that's a stretch.

>The backlash is retarded

Except you can now transfer Pokemon from older games, you need to double dip by paying for both Bank and Home and on top of that the games also cost a whole $20 more for generally less content (and I don't mean Pokemon/dex-filler either)
>Also, people acting like the dlc is a scam are retarded
I mean, selling shit that would be in older gen post games such as additional post game areas and legends as DLC (also only being able to buy the dlc as a bundle and not individually) is pretty fucking scammy.
Anyways, sneed.

Oh I forgot to add, that their excuses for not having the full dex this gen was a total fucking lie. The game looks like shit, barely upgraded 3DS title, the animations are still just as fucking garbage as they were on the 3DS. And on top of that online ui is so awful it's hilarious.
So glad I didn't buy the fucking game, stupid ass friend of mine did though.

It sucks compared to other gens, but it isn't all that bad.
It just isn't worth 60$ + 40$ DLC + Pokemon Home monthly fee. I would only pay a max of 30$ for it + DLC. But Nintendo has shit sales, so that wont happen anytime soon. I'll just stick to Steam, recommend only emulating.

At this point, people would buy a game case with shit shoved in it if it has the pokemon name on it.

Also, people aren't going to know what a game is like unless the buy it and play it so I don't know why people bring sales numbers into things like it means the game is good, it just means a lot of people played it and a lot of people were underwhelmed.

Honestly? I don't think the games are that bad. There are definitely aspects about the game that I can see why people would dislike but I wouldn't consider them awful

what I liked
>raids
>camp
>opal's gym. I thought it was cool how she asked the player questions during battle and depending on the player's answer their pokemon may one of their stat's boosted or decreased. I was a nice twist on the battle and I wish there more more gyms that had something like that
>overworld encounters
>some of the new mons, particularly the fossils
>getting pokemon to level 100 isn't extremly tedious so you can hyper train them faster

what I dislike
>main game was too easy although this could pretty much be said about any main series pokemon game
>moves that effect items (knock off, bug bite, etc.) for some reason don't work in raids battles
>EXP share can't be turned off
>you can buy the gym uniforms for different types but you can't wear them to gym battles
>sometimes during the story an NPC will ask you a question but there will only be two or three answers and they lead to the same response (this could also apply to the alola games)
>battle tower doesn't have streaks or multi battles
