It was incredibly disappointing for the first main series console game. Beat it in a week and never picked it up again

It was my first ever pokemon game. I rate it a 6/10. It's like the most basic of turn based RPG i've played. I don't know why it has such a cult following. There's like 1 kind of cool pokemon out of every 50.

how did it kill 1 player competitive? Giant mode? I thought that was banned from Smogon anyway. But I guess at that point you're just playing pokemon with megas and z moves removed.

I like it more than the last gen for sure. Sun/Moon felt like an exercise in walking 20 feet, battling two or three dudes with one Pokemon each, and then having characters talk to you for 10 minutes.

Sword/Shield definitely aren't great, though. I felt pretty restricted on cool Pokemon I actually wanted to use while keeping a balanced team. Plus, at higher levels that big area with the giant Pokemon battles got a big difficulty spike and it became really hard to catch em.

For that matter, I hate the mega/z-move/giant bs they've been adding to every game. It ruins the single player (I don't play multiplayer). The gameplay is already basic enough, don't make it easier by giving me one hit kill strategies in what's supposed to be boss fights.

It's definitely a halfassed game but I was willing to ignore it since it was my first Pokemon game since B/W, so I went all out with it. Preordered it, bought the collector's edition guide book, and preordered the DLC. I knew it was halfassed when I went to pick it up from Gamestop on release and had a convo with a worker there about giving them a pass this time

If they pull this shit with a sequel on the Switch I'm not buying it though

Damn I need coffee with all of these typos

It's not just mediocre. I think it's just straight up really bad. If I were a reviewer worth a damn, I'd give it a 6/10. Probably lower if not for 8/10 being the avg

Visually, the games should've been way better than they turned out. I actually like the 8th gen metagame though. I do like the idea of rotating mons in and out of competitive so that teams don't look too homogenous when comparing to different gens. It also helps with power creep in general.

I don't play competitively but yeah I agree with that it's a whole lot easier to breed your ideal Pokemon now. That's all I've been doing for the last 200 hours of playtime other than event raids

I already have an apriball team with hidden abilities, the ideal natures, and ideal IV/EV spread ready for the next DLC, and I'm using the team I bred for the first DLC to blow through raids and the Pokemon league when I'm bored. An EV/IV trained Jolly HA Cinderace is op as hell for pve
