Biggest issue with the game is it feels like handheld game that just got ported to a console IMO. It's 2019 and you release a major franchise game on consoles with no voice acting? The animations seem rather basic as well, the game does not feel like it was built from the ground up on the Switch to me. It feels more like they just reused tons and tons of assets from the 3DS games, and this is coming from someone who hasn't played a pokemon game since the originals back in the day.

As far as I can tell the series hasn't made any steps forward since the original games, at least not in a significant way. The entirety of Sword and Shield should have been open world like the wild lands, it's not like they couldn't of gotten help since Nintendo has done Xenoblade and BotW.

And I realize it's a kids series, but the difficulty is down right insulting. Would it really be that much more for them to include a hard mode at the very least? I expect even the most simplistic child friendly plots to at least make sense in terms of what's happening in the game. Your "rival" is so laughably pathetic I don't know how they could even expect a 6 year old kid to take him seriously. How is it believable that a scrub like Hop can even earn the first gym badge, let alone all of them?

This dude uses a sheep pokemon the entire game and just gets one shot by everything, and he keeps acting like he's hot **** even though he hasn't wiped a single pokemon of yours out the entire game. I assume this is pretty normal for a pokemon game, but again I haven't played since the original games. Anyway I beat it at 13 hours, don't think I'll be getting back into it.
