>>44013637>worst starters even todayI agree they're one of the worst, but SwSh starters are pretty bottom tier. It's a toss.
>god awful pokedex kanto cloneThis is actually one of the highlights of the game, not something "god awful." Having a game composed solely of completely new Pokemon was refreshing instead of having more Zubats, Geodudes, and Tentacools. And the new mons weren't half bad. Loved Ferrothorn from the second he was leaked (unfortunate that he became overused competitively)
>awful storyGonna have to disagree. It took a different approach I considered quite interesting. And there hasn't been a fight quite as climactic as Ghetsis in both gen 5 games.
>unlimited TMs casualizing the games even moreI hate casualization too, but this one is fine. Having to buy TMs I needed whenever I wanted to build a new team for online battling (and I had a lot of teams) was lame.
>shitty techno music when the past 4 gens had very triumphant battle musicYou can't dismiss the entire soundtrack since it had some bangers, but indeed it was a decline in quality. Specially after Sinnoh
