Honestly as assblasted I’ll get for it, I like Sword and Shield, but its lore feels very vague and empty. Which is kind of fun but it’s unsatisfying now we know we’re done with Galar for a bit.

Where are the dogs from? What was the fight between Calyrex and Eternatus like?

Base game has really bad route design, exploration is pretty terrible. Crown Tundra is ok though, but you need to fork over 30 extra bucks for the good exploration.

With the amount of Pokemon there are now I don't even care about the dexcut that much, I just think the games are blatantly overpriced for what they are. I avoided them for a long time just because I didn't want to give money to something that looked so unpolished. But now that I've actually played it I'm honestly having fun with it. Still overpriced but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. I'd even go as far as to say that it's more fun than gen VI or VII

Short story. Bad environment graphics compared to other Switch triple A games. Easy/boring battles. Dex cut. Bad animations on Pokemon.

Dexcut really fucked over their reputation even if eventually all the mons are brought back, and The Pogaymon Company absolutely deserves any shit they get. It didn't help they tried to use "good animations" as an excuse either, which put the spotlight on the game's graphics.

Industry standard price for A+ games is USD 60.

Hasn't been USD 40 for more than 10 years and it's in talks to increase it to USD 80.

Meanwhile Anon still wonders in 2021 why a main game of the biggest franchise in the world is selling at the standard price.

Yes, and his point is that pokemon, as is, fails to justify that price point when placed alongside other AAA/full price games.

A+ don't have to be the best of the best. A main game of a well established franchise will be a A+ game. Call of Duty could release the shittiest game ever and it would be still be a A+ game.

This is literally the biggest franchise in the world. No other franchise makes as much money as Pokémon. Maybe others need to discount or shit to get sells, it isn't the case of this one. The price is ok, you can skip it or emulate as I did with Gen 4 and 5 f you don't want to pay it.

I kind of agree, but having said that, I feel this is a relatively high-quality and highly polished entry in the series when you consider how low-effort the series is overall.
Detailed worlds, nice visuals, better cinematic camera cuts and angles. All of this of course when compared to previous entries.

I just really like it, and wish they would remake older games in this style. Everyone wants to explore Kanto or Johto in this style.

I'm not saying that's an excuse. I'm saying that they're still A games. You thinking they're shitty is irrelevant to that point.

I actually think they’re pretty good Pokémon games with all the DLC, but there’re deeply flawed

1. Costs nearly twice as much as any other Pokémon game to get all the content.
2. GTS removed just to shill a paid Home subscription.
3. Graphics and animations look 3 gens behind
4. Dexit (especially since it was entirely unnecessary)
5. Awful story in both the main game and the post game
6. Very hand-holdy and linear (although not quite as much as gen 7)
7. Move rememberer being in Poké centres disincentives travel around the region
8. Hop constantly interpreting you wherever you fucking go, even in the aisle of armour (where he actively slows down how quickly you could otherwise complete tasks)
9. Follower Pokémon disabled outside of DLC despite obviously being possible in the main game.
10. The last two gyms/towns feel like they ran out of time and are completely empty.
11. Awful post game without the DLC.
12. EXP share all can’t be turned off.
13. Even post game the trainers have mostly level 60 Pokémon, 70 on rematch. Unless you self regulate by constantly boxing your main party you will always be above those levels.
14. No large dungeons or puzzles. The whole game is just short routes.
15. Dynamax raids are boring as hell and very poorly implemented. Dynamax is also a terrible mechanic for multiplayer.

All of that said it’s a testament to how much the game gets right that I was able to enjoy it so much despite how many flaws it has.

You can see the murals dotted around the Tundra descripe how Calyrex came to the land badly injured after the darkest day from a terrible fight, and it showed anxiety if anyone reached out an open hand to it. Eternamax-Eternatus resembles an open, grasping hand. It's obvious how the fight went (with the help of the Dogs it won, but was horribly injured, traumatized, then everyone forgot it existed

I don’t really care if you believe me. There were also a lot of things I enjoyed about the games. I liked the Pokémon, trainer and town designs. I thought the music was excellent as usual. I like how easy it is to create a competitive team now. I like the wild area and the open world areas in the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra (I do have complaints about their implementation, but overall I find them highly enjoyable to explore). I was skeptical about the change from random battles but I’ve found it extremely fun to ride around in the wild area and see so many different species of Pokémon roaming around. It makes it all the more exciting when you encounter a rare Pokémon in rustling grass too. I hope that future games expand upon this idea a bit by including more open, explorable areas, but maybe with more trainers and landmarks to keep them from feeling empty. I also think it would be cool if they brought HMs back and used them to unlock more parts of these areas as the game progressed, kind of like a metroidvania style progression.

With the DLC, I think SwSh has one of the best post games in the series. The games also have the highest number of Pokémon attainable in a single game despite dexit.
