BDSP was an abomination and demonstrated peak contempt for the fans, though I still bought it and had fun sweeping Cynthia’s team with an underleveled Wormadam-Trash
SWSH was fine, maybe it’s biggest asset was the snappy battle engine. Needed more time in the oven though, and generally fell flat too often to excuse.
New Snap is charming. Girlfriend loved it.
PLA is fantastic, I’ve been savoring it and I think my only criticism is that it suffers from a limited dex and muddy textures / sparse modeling that lends the areas to feeling a bit empty. Overall kino nonetheless.
LGPE was home to some very cool ideas. I think if I had kids atm I’d rate it pretty highly, as it is it didn’t hold my attention.
Pokken is very fun to pick up and bring out as a party game. I like the roster, and might revisit it to git güd as Croagunk. I’d sooner reach for a different fighting game in most situations.
Unite is okay. Feels rewarding to dominate a match with teammates in the same room. Gets boring quickly though— idk it’s not a genre I care about really.
SV looks promising! I think if GF and company learned from PLA and SWSH’s feedback it could be a great progression of the mainline titles.

Verdict: 6/10

New Snap sucked. They didn't even put Lucario in the game.

Oh, and

Best in the series to date. I work at a social services hub for young adults and it’s been stupid good as an incentive tool. I’ve put maybe 700 hours in, and still haven’t even fucked with anything non-casual. The Pokémon representation is middling, but it would be naïve to expect much more. Would be cool to see some mons picked that have unrepresented morphologies in the roster— e.g, I saw a great mod in the works a while back to include DENNIS with Eelektross as one of his three swappable mons, iirc Hyderigon was in as well

Let's Go was a pretty fun distraction.
Sword and Shield are super mixed, the wild area stuff and DLC are pretty enjoyable, but the main campaign is painfully boring and linear.
BDSP was very dull, I didn't even bother finishing it because it was boring me to tears.
PLA was awesome, I'm glad we got something different even if it wasn't perfect.
I really wanna like New Snap, but god damn the progression system sucks big time.
>Play through this stage
>Oh, now do it again
>Oh, now do it a third time
>What's that, you didn't get enough XP? Play the stage a fourth time!!
It's like they weren't confident in just releasing a good 1-2 hour game so they had to tack on this forced progression shit. I would've liked it if you only had to play a stage once, and everything else was just optional.
Mystery Dungeon DX is okay but I just couldn't get a hold of the newer mechanics. Maybe that's just because I played Red Rescue Team a bunch as a kid.
I played Pokken DX for like 20 minutes.
I'm slightly optimistic for Scarlet and Violet but I'm keeping my expectations tampered.

Overall, switch era started off kinda meh but it's getting a little better.

Sword and Shield were also far too easy even for Pokemon standards.

I only played PLA, I've been trying but can't get into it. I find it tedious and too directionless. But another part of the dissatisfaction is that the Pokemon distribution has been terrible for me, I'm almost halfway through and have only found 1 Pokemon I wanted to use for my team.
I'm interested to try New Snap and the Mystery Dungeon remake but they're not priorities for me.
