Was Sword/Shield the worst mainline Pokemon games?

Idk, since I haven't played any Pokémon games before the Switch. That said Sword isn't anywhere near as bad as many people say. Despite that it's still the lowest rated new, non remake mainline Pokémon duo.

So if you can't compare Sword to previous games from your own experiences, how can you then declare an opinion that has no baseline? You even gave non-anecdotal, objective reasoning for why SS are the worst mainline games.

That's like saying Metal Gear Survive isn't that bad of a game, as long as you ignore Metal Gear Solid 1-5.

What?
