>>47915926>most people here never played gen 8>source: my ass>alot of people here who did are too scared to battle onlineI did. got masterball rank in VGC the first season and did a lot of BSS. Quit because leavers ruined the experience. You'd think if online battling was a main feature they'd have some kind of match tracking to divvie up ELO correctly if someone leaves, like literally every other modern game with online ranking, but what can i expect from the most profitable franchise on earth.
The only real positives SwoShit has are QoL improvements and TRs. The story mode is easily the worst in the series with the absolute nadir of writing, even for a pokemon game. The Le Epin Final Boss is impossible to lose, the gym leaders even with dynamax are easier than the kalos gyms. The E4 got fucking axed, so Leon ends up the game's only good fight. Wild Area is nifty for all of about an hour and raids become super formulaic. Both of which lead to another issue that you end up with a full team of strong mons before you even face the first gym, so there's no need to replace party members as you find better pokemon (because you wont until literally the end of the game) so 90% of an already kinda boring experience is played with the same 6 pokemon and whatever they evo into.
>m-muh DLCIsle of Armor was such a fucking dull experience (and I even went into it with the imposed limit of only using Pokemon from the isle so it wasnt a full steamroll) that I didnt even bother with Clown Tundra.
