Pokémon Scarlet & Violet:
>400 Pokémon - 532 Pokémon missing from the game
>12 towns and cities
>8 Gym Leaders
>Post-game consists of hour-long story in a hallway dungeon
>Can't rematch any trainers or Elite Four
>Battle facility is just a few regular NPC battles with shitty pre-defined teams
>7 GB cartridge size
