>>50306875>captures the essence of the Pokemon franchiseExcept it fucking didn't. The characters are all fucking dogshit and have the appeal only a fucking aspie could appreciate. Ironic, considering that the game was made with them in mind
>all the kiddies are sure to love themAs I was saying
>appealing to 30-year olds nostalgiaExcept it didn't.
>"HUR DUR BUT MUH CHARIZARD"That's just KANTOOOOO pandering by Game Freak standards. It's not even remotely nostalgia.
>Doesn't have a hard postgame, knows players don't like to feel badIt's not even about "feeling bad." It's about not putting in the effort since the analytics they're going off of are for phone games and they just didn't care enough to make any because of how player retention works for phone games.
>gives players a sense of surprise during encountersI knew this was just a fucking shitpost but my god this is such flagrant bullshit I cannot even fathom why I'm effort-posting towards a nigger.
>Loved all over Twitter and by all TRUE fansSo niggers, boot lickers like Joe and the lowest common denomination of loyal fans toughing it out in spite of everything.
Sword/Shield are fucking trendy games and that's fucking all they ever will be remembered for.
This franchise is ruined.
