Was Sword/Shield the worst mainline Pokemon games?

Sword and Shield is actually one of my favorites. The single player campaign is the worst probably, but the quality of life changes to breeding, wild area, and such make it the easiest to get into the multiplayer. Was the first game since Black and White where I devoted any time to that, and I only did so in Black and White because I had no gaming systems available due to hurricane sandy.

It sounds like what you are looking for is called Pokémon Showdown.

Showdown is awesome, but there's something that feels different when it's a team you actually built vs just picking whatever you want on Showdown. Sort of like Goldilocks where I want building a team to take enough effort that it feels like mine, but not so much effort that I need to treat it as a part time job. Also, in Showdown you tend to see the same Pokemon most of the time since people make whatever they want at any time. And I like the visuals better in the actual games. 

Unrelated, but I'm still baffled as to why Nintendo hasn't been able to get Showdown taken down.
