Be Honest With Me: How Bad is Sword & Shield?

[Dulfite]

8/10

Don't believe the hate. It's not the best Pokemon ever, but a lot of quality of life adjustments have made it a better experience. Camps are fun to interact with Pokemon, experience share makes leveling up a lot more enjoyable, some non traditional plot structures take place, and this game has pretty good designs for the new Pokemon. Seeing Pokemon roam around the world makes it more enjoyable as well as I could pick and choose which I wanted to battle. I don't get people complaining about them not having all the Pokemon for a few of reasons.

1) The power jump between Gameboy -- GB Color -- GBA -- DS -- 3DS is a joke compared to 3DS -- Switch.

2) There is a LOT of Pokemon with terrible ugly designs out there. They needed to cut the fat.

3) It actually makes you use and enjoy the new Pokemon more since you don't have as much of the temptation to simply build a roster you used in past ges.

Dynamax is fun and very pretty. I still like Mega Evolution better but it is far better than Z move nonsense from Sun/Moon.
