>>57448761I'll be real with you, none of the mainline games are beautiful.
PLA and SV are both pretty good imo, but they have different strengths.
PLA has the catching and the diverse biomes. However, battling is secondary and there's barely any trainers. I still thought it was really fun, kind of a fun twist to the usual formula and good vibes.
SV has ok biomes, but they're pretty samey. It definitely has tons of battling, catching and trainers, though. It also has a good story if you value that kinda stuff.
I personally can't really recommend SwSh. It looks fine, but it doesn't really have "biomes". The Wild Area is just a shitty attempt at Open world, and the rest of the world is pretty much a hallway.
