>>56344499You're mistaking it for the argument of Colosseum vs XD. There's far less subjective reasons why the switch games are a downgrade while these still hold up.
Mandatory exp-all when in gens 6 and 7 it was at least optional. Set mode is gone now. There's been fewer and fewer battle facilities or minigames to give you stuff to play with your pokemon outside of the main story. Battles throughout the games are still primarily singles when doubles and now several other formats exist so they're missing out on both the potential to teach players to strategize and having more variety to keep the games from getting stale. Since gen 6 the games have had super ultimate instant win button gimmicks and they keep getting progressively more absurd, so it's even more braindead easy than spamming type advantage already was. Performance has tanked so bad you can see the framerate drops and stuff popping in, and there's occasional crashes.
