>>52112744Just beat Scarlet. It blows SWSH out of the water, especially if you’re comparing the state of the games at launch. The only things that remain to be seen are what kind of postgame there is / will be and what the impacts of certain gameplay changes will ultimately mean (like breeding).
I’ve ragged on Game Freak for their retarded fixation on story elements, but while I still think it’s a weak point for them, they actually did manage to come up with a passable story, tropy as it is. They also got the balance of low-stakes adventure and buildup to a big finale right this time.
