>>48574515>>Increased graphical qualtiyNot really, SWSH looks like an upscaled USUM with Gamecube Graphics, BDSP looks like a Fisher-Price Mobile Game, and Legends is somehow shittier than Genshin Impact in its attempt to rip off BotW.
>>Increased number of new monsSWSH introduced a similar range of Pokemon to Gen 7, Regional Variants included.
>>Increased ability to give old Pokemon new buffs and mechanics to make them more interestingAnd did they actually do any of this outside of giving them G-Maxes they no longer have starting with BDSP, or Regional Variants that shit on the originals by outright replacing them?
>>Increased visual fidelityRefer to the earlier point regarding graphical quality.
>>Greatly expanded the competitive sceneAnd then they brought back all the infamous Pokemon that made the Gen 7 meta notorious, which even without Mega Evolution or Z-Moves, substantially shat on the quality of the scene.
>>Reduced redundancyAnd yet they brought back or included a plethora of redundant niches, sometimes even "wasting slots" on DLC returns like they did with Zubat even though they already had Woobat.
