>>48428393God, I was running through Sword again a couple days ago to get a Zacian for my dex and I had completely forgotten hust how FUCKING ANNOYING this game was to play. Let’s take Motostoke as an example: walk into town Sonia distracts you. Talk to Sonia in the pokemon center, talk to Sonia outside the pokemon center. There’s Hop wanting something, then you talk to him again at the end of the road. Oh, now you’re inside the stadium entrance, talk to Hop THREE TIMES while Bede pretends he’s a character. Talk to Hop, go outside, get teleported twenty feet to the left by stadium staff because they think you’re too stupid to walk left slightly. Sonia talks for three minutes straight, talk to Hop, Team Yell grunts. Talk to Team Yell grunts, battle two Team Yell grunts while talking to Hop in between. Talk to Marnie, talk to Hop, go to bed.
That’s literally the first third
of the time spent in this town, and I probably got the order wrong too because of how fucking infuriating the constant yammering is. There’s so much fucking dialogue that my fucking thumb got tired from skipping through it and I couldn’t tell you a single thing that was said. Isle of Armor had potential but was definitely lessened by the annoying “walk to this place we’ve already had you walk to five times” fuller. And, not gonna lie, the Crown Tundra was actually pretty decent if not annoying with that manchild Peony.
