>>50790853>Red & Blue>Sword & ShieldWhat's all that different then, anon? A simple battle gimmicks? Double battles from time to time?
You still have 6 mons, 8 gyms, a league, a champion
You train your mons, and what matters the most is raising your mons
If you're gonna try to argue QoL things in gen 8 compared to gen 1, it still doesn't change drastically.
The biggest change between very old and modern Pokémon is that you can now keep your mons from game to game, and information on those mons is stored
Because the central piece is always raising your mon, beating the challenges, and battles (local or wifi)
