>>46152594Three major flaws with Sword/Shield that completely killed the game for me:
1. The game feels completely unfinished. The 7th gym was the point for me where I realized how disappointing and devoid of content the game as a whole is. Everything after that point was HORRIBLE and obviously rushed. I mean, recycling gym leaders to replace an elite 4? Really?
2. Not including every Pokemon. I know they've added more with the DLC, but the fact that I can't get any Pokemon I want into the game keeps me from bringing *any* Pokemon in from older games. S&M removing the national dex was one thing, but at least I can still have everyone in the boxes.
3. Gigantimax is the worst generation Gimmick they've ever done. So not only am I restricted from bringing certain Pokemon into the game, but some of the Pokemon I bring over will be obsolete because I didn't specifically catch them in those boring ass raid battles, some of which are timed exclusives? Like, are you fucking serious? Sure, I could just not do gigantimaxing, but it's the fact that they added a feature I can't use with my old pokemon that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
