>>45354113Absolutely really. Sword and Shield's base game has the single worst main campaign yet with zero dungeons, awful level balance, major fights with zero applied EVs til the final boss (even though SM had EVs in many later game trainers, so that is a direct downgrade from the previous game) and though no Pokemon game has a good story Sword and Shield is straight up the single worst one yet. Everything that happens in Wyndon is pure nonsense that had no reason to be nonsense.
DLC content is all shit compared to previous third versions. Dynamax Adventure is the closest to fun the thing has, otherwise Galar Star Tournament is piss easy and boring, the """"""""""""""""""""""""""exploration"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" you do in both areas is bare fucking bones and impressive only if compared to the horrible Wild Area (not really honestly, impressive is a generous word) and all of the legendaries were found in brain dead easy ways and in bad boring stories (what the fuck was ever the point of Peony and his daughter and their story that goes absolutely nowhere? the character literally exists only to be floated around by Calyrex).
When I bought Platinum, though it was a chore to have to re-do alot of shit from the base game again, I could look forward to alot of meaty new content that was well designed and challenging. With this DLC I was disappointed with every single thing it offered except for a raid minigame. It's as simple as that. I don't even give a shit about the missing Pokedex because if someone can't find a handful of Pokemons they want to use out of 400 they frankly are autistic.
