>>53731524the battle system is only one aspect of the gameplay loop
there's also the structure and method of traversing the world, the tools the player is given, and the overall objective within the actual game, and the ways in which the player progresses over the course of the game
regardless of whether you think they're well done or not, the new features of TOTK affect those factors more than the changes between SS and SV, so it's retarded to cry about TOTK being the same while acting like pokemon isn't just as bad if not worse about it
