You're being a bitch. For once since BW2 SwSh actu5 gave good team building choice. Probably the one thing it did right and it's filtering you because you need to be railroaded down a traditional path of progression.

>>45802391 I think this is one of the strengths of swsh actually. There's tons of variety so multiple playthroughs can be very different and you have lots of options to build a team your way. Exp share makes it so you're actually encouraged to keep using different pokemon instead of sweeping things with only a few.

i wish they made it easier to distinguish new mons

>>45802391 There are far better criticisms of the games than stupid shit like "Too many options! Too much variety".
It's 2020 and the BASE games do not allow pokemon to follow their trainers. Pokemon models are just the same models from Sun and Moon (which are the same as X and Y). Buggy animations and stiff movements from the biggest franchise on the planet. There is no excuse, I've played better knock offs with more love put into them.

>>45802391 no, these are legitimate complaints. Choice paralysis is a very real thing. if they just throw a hundred different options at you then of course you'd start making choices passively not giving the game much thought.
early game dragon types are cringe btw.

Taking a few minutes out to look at your options is something that you can do. But I guess the game doesn't tell you to do that so it's too confusing.

>>45802391 My best guess is they assume that due to having so many options and the exp. share they want you to be constantly switching out for different pokemon as you go, they just failed to give a reason to do so.
I didn't particularly like being flooded with pokemon so early, it made me feel I was obligated to catch them all right then and then they had the gall to have wild pokemon you couldn't actually catch.

>>45802433 This is incredibly retarded.
>just have 1 Pokémon on you at all times bro! you don't HAVE to have a full party at once! Or just let me have to actually switch out my team for different reasons and to counter different things, rather than not even have to use the Pokémon and they get to max level anyway.

>>45802609 Your capability to catch pokemon is tied to how many badges you have. If you have only the first badge and you find a pokemon that's level 31, you can fight it but can't catch it.

>>45802470 Thats a you problem. I recognize any pokemon's generation instantly, and I dont even play these games that intensively.

>>45802701 More that they needed more space to be put in. Galar is cluttered as hell, you get 5 different species living in the same patch of tall grass, only sharing 3 with the set in the patch across the path.
Island DLC is a start, but the game should have been based on the idea that you needed to go to a variety of outlying islands to meet different species.

>>45802391 These would be valid complaints if they were real. SwSh is the first game since D/P where I wasn't consistently over leveled and learnsets have been pared down to almost gen 2 levels of anemia. Some mons have to wait until well into the 30s and 40s for their harder hitting moves if you're not raiding for TRs. The game is bloated with mons though, I've never played a title where trying to find a 15% spawn could end up being such a chore.

most people use exclusively new gen mons because they want to use pokemon they've never used before, but if you can't even recognise a gen 6/7 pokemon then they must be new to you regardless and thus there's no problem

So why can't pokemon follow you in the main region after doing the DLCs? Is gamefreak unable to code the models to walk behind you exactly like in the extra areas? They even walk way too slow no matter what and are off the screen in seconds.

>>45803720 With IoA you don't really need to raid much for TRs. Digging Pa does his first watt dig up for free. And if you do a bit of IoA's story Honey will give you some Armorite Ore that you can use with a few you'll likely find on the ground to have Pa do a second dig for you very early.

>>45803843 They deliberately locked the following mons behind the DLC as further incentive to buy it. The worst part is that the following mons in the DLC are so piss-poorly coded that they're constantly trapped in a rubberbanding teleport to keep up with you.

the games are better with less, but not designed choices. Your team should matter, instead of having so many that the have can't possibly design enemies that feel interesting.

>>45802391 Nigga my pokedex was 22 when I beat the game. You're either ADHD retarded or a gay grindfag. Stop grinding and catching every fucking thing you see and you'll stop being overleveled. I got the game for Christmas and my dex is now at 395/400, still need both games cover legends and dragapult line. You'll spend plenty of time in the wild area after beating the game so fucking go do some gyms and real routes.

>>45802391 Hating shared exp is understandable. I rotated my team often and I didn't engage in every wild encounter but I still ended up overleveled by the time I got to Wyndon.
You're a huge bitch if you think having wide variety of monsters and moves to choose from as early as possible is a bad thing, but if dragging shitmons around is more your speed then stick to catching whatever you find in the proper routes.
